Chapter 19 Chapter One

Tanabe edited and published the small publication "TV Times" two years ago.There were only five people.So rather than five employees, it is better to say five friends, and several times it was on the verge of being unable to continue. The reason why Tanabe came up with the idea of ​​starting this publication was because the public had a lot of dissatisfaction and doubts about TV.He therefore intended to conduct a thorough investigation and publish these reasons in a journal. The editor-in-chief Tanabe is the editor-in-chief of the "Challenge to Myth" column in the publication.His original intention was to challenge the facts and illusions reflected in television.

Of course, there are many nonsense complaints in the letters from readers, but Tanabe still gives serious answers. On this day, Tanabe read a letter, but he still couldn't figure out whether the question raised by the anonymous contributor was big or small. Tanabe read it twice. Recently, many TV stations have put various "secret" characters on camera as guest hosts or actors, and the ratings have really increased.So CCTV also produced a program of "Japan's Number One Weird" in the same way, but the evaluation was not as good as expected. But purely from the figures, the 5% ratings should have 5 million viewers.If this letter is true, it will be of value.

"Who watched 'Japan's Number One Weird' on April 23?" Tanabe asked the others. "April 23 is Tuesday, and I happened to watch SH TV's 'Amazing Life' program in the evening. It is the same time period as 'Japan's Number One Weird'." Suzuki said. The "Amazing Life" he said is the same type of program as "Japan's Number One Weird".But it started early, so the ratings far surpassed "Japan's Number One Weird". Tanabe also regretted that he did not watch the "Japan's Number One Weird" program that day.

"Is no one watching?" Tanabe asked again without giving up. The youngest Watanabe replied: "I watched it. But only the first half." "Is there a woman pulling a cart?" "Ah, yes. It's a rickshaw." "What kind of woman?" "It's a young and beautiful woman. At first I thought it was an actress!" "real?" "I forgot her name, but I remember it was a 24-year-old woman from S City, County F." "S City? Isn't that a famous hot spring town?" "Yes. There are also geisha. There used to be a few rickshaws there, but today there is only one. The man who pulled that cart was an old man who had rheumatism. The woman was very interested in rickshaws and asked to borrow one to pull them." One pull. She was good at track and field when she was in high school, so she got a few clients."

"Here comes the letter from the reader saying it's a lie." Speaking of that, Tanabe put the letter in front of Watanabe's eyes.Watanabe glanced and tilted his head and said: "I just think the woman pulling the rickshaw is so beautiful, I saw her shot!" "What kind of lens?" "The shot of her pulling a rickshaw! There are a few geisha sitting on it!" "Oh?" Tanabe's face darkened, he didn't think the letter was lying.Because he must have watched the TV show on April 23rd to write it.Is it really a fake?
