Chapter 10 Section 10

Teak hurried back to the hotel.Although he wanted to get the details as soon as possible, the hotel didn't seem to have caught the perpetrator and was just busy dealing with the news media. After the accident, the hotel lobby fell into chaos, but by dinner time, there were far fewer onlookers.When the hotel service desk explained to the residents, it only said that the bus had a traffic accident. Yuki made a call to Kotani in Tokyo.Although Xiaogu knew that an accident had occurred, he did not receive the latest news. "How are the members of the ski club doing now?" Kotani asked.

"They are eating now, and their emotions are relatively stable." "That's good." "By the way, Minister, I am very concerned about one thing." Yuki looked around vigilantly, "The bus where the accident happened was originally intended to be taken by Hita Fumi." After a while of silence, Xiao Gu said in a low voice: "Really?" "I just heard it from Coach Takakura. Fumi Hita got on the bus at one point, but got off because she found something was left in the hotel. That's how I escaped disaster. Let’s just say she was lucky.”

"You mean, did someone intentionally cause this accident? Someone wanted Fumi Hima's life?" "I can't say that right now, I can only say that there is a possibility in this regard. Of course, neither Coach Takakura nor Fumi Hima knew about the threatening letter, so they will never be suspicious." Xiao Gu on the other side of the phone sneered a few times. "What do you think? Do you think this accident has something to do with the threatening letter?" Teak, who held the phone to his ear, shook his head. "I don't know. After all, we haven't received any information, so we can only pray that this is purely accidental. However, we must make a decision early."

"What do you mean by that?" "I think the police should be told about the threatening letter. What do you think? If you still hide it now, when you have to ask the police to intervene in the future, I'm afraid there will be a lot of misunderstandings." "Huh—" A sigh came from the microphone.Xiao Gu fell silent. "Minister!" Yuki called. "I see. Whether or not to contact the police is up to me to judge." "That is to say, I don't need to contact the police here, is that true?" "That's it. Now only the traffic section of the police station in the jurisdiction is taking action, right? However, if this accident is really planned by someone, then the criminal police department will definitely take action. At that time, we will let the company's senior management come forward Make a statement. Before that, don’t say anything unnecessary.”

"I understand. I will contact you when the incident progresses." After hanging up the phone, Yuki went to the restaurant and found that the members of the ski club had almost finished eating.He saw Hita Fumi, who was dressed in a T-shirt and jeans.Due to a traffic accident, the road was impassable, so Hita Fumi had to cancel her plan to go to Sapporo. "Fei Tian-kun, come here for a while." Yuuki Asakazemi called, "I have something to do, so I can take up some of your time, okay?" "Sorry, I'm going to watch the video in the coach's room later."

"It won't take up too much of your time." After that, Yuki looked at Gao Cang, "Only about fifteen minutes, is that okay?" Gao Cang nodded displeased. Yuki found a table near the corner and said to Fengmei: "I heard that you were going to get on that bus too. It's really lucky." Feng Mei frowned. "Honestly, I'm not happy at all. I know that one person was seriously injured and that person spoke to me." "your friend?" "No. Before boarding the bus, he took the initiative to talk to me, said he was my fan, and shook my hand, looking very happy..."

"That's right. Then... it's really a trick..." Yuki originally wanted to say "that fan may have been your scapegoat", but in the end he gave up.It would be too hurtful to say that. "Fans are an incredible group. They have very strange concerns, they want to know everything, they want to know everything. Sometimes, they know you better than you know yourself. Over time, you will also have There are a lot of these fans." Feng Mei showed a puzzled expression. "However, I haven't participated in an official competition yet, why do they support me so much?"

"Didn't I just say that fans are an incredible group of people. Actually, I just wanted to ask you. Before this, have you ever come into contact with such fans?" Feng Mei lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.She then said: "After the competition, someone took the initiative to talk to me. Congratulations, awesome skating, and occasionally someone would ask to take a photo with me or something." "Do you have any specific fans? For example, whenever you play a game, he will definitely come to cheer you. Have you ever seen such a person?"

"Anyone other than friends?" "Yeah, just pure fans. Like, the kind you can call and leave." "This... can't say no." Teak thought, I guess so.Because of this, Xinshi Development will dig you out and assign you a special person in charge of publicity. "Do you know their names and origins?" "Some people I know. Many people have written to me and sent me photos." "Are those fan letters you received still there?" "Well, I saved it, and it's all at home in Sapporo." Teak nodded. "I want to read those letters as soon as possible. When are you going back to Sapporo?"

Fengmei's already very stiff face added a layer of frightening expression. "Why do I have to show those things to Mr. Yuzuki?" "Because it's that kind of thing, I have to read it again. As I said in the day, I am your publicity director, and the publicity director is not just a bridge to the media. In order for you to concentrate on the project, I must Support you in every way. This is also part of my job. What if there are extremists among those people? Of course I need to fully understand the situation." "It's not necessary at all. This is my fan, and I myself will..."

"Stop saying such childish things!" Teak said sternly, "Don't make me repeat some things. Before this, you just skied for yourself, but from now on, you must contribute to the company, otherwise I would be very embarrassed. Do you deal with the fan stuff by yourself? If you have that time, you might as well go to training. Also, the fans are a double-edged sword. It’s fine when they’re on your side, but you I don’t know when they will go to the enemy’s side. Therefore, the more appropriate way is to keep a certain distance from them. Many players have been entangled by stalkers and complained. I know several famous players like this.” Fengmei turned her face away very unhappy.Seeing this, Yumu couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, although this is an extreme example, it's not impossible. So far, have you ever been followed by a stalker?" "I didn't." Fengmei said, staring at Teak. "Nothing is fine. However, the possibility of a stalker is not impossible. If it does, it will be you and the company that will suffer. Therefore, in order to prevent that from happening, we must take precautions. This is an order. Please put the Give me all the fan letters you receive, and I will read them. If there is something you don’t want me to see, you can just read the envelope.” Fumi sighed as if giving up. "I can't go back to Sapporo today, but I will go back in two days. I'll show it to you then, okay?" "Okay, you can let me know when the time comes." Feng Mei didn't answer him, but stood up directly from the chair. "Farewell." Teak casually ate two bites, it was a late dinner.Afterwards, he returned to the room he had just checked in today.Teak took a shower and took a can of beer from the refrigerator.He turned on the TV and the news was playing on the screen.Yuki saw the title subtitle of "the hotel shuttle bus had an accident, and the car body caught fire" appeared on the screen, and hurriedly turned up the volume. At four o'clock this afternoon, an accident occurred on a shuttle bus of the 'Northern Pride Hotel' in XX City, Hokkaido.On the way to the station, the bus suddenly hit the side of the mountain and caught fire.The bus driver and a passenger were injured.The driver was a hotel employee named Kazuo Yamane. He was 42 years old this year and suffered injuries to his wrist and waist that were not life-threatening.According to the information on the driver's license of the injured passenger, his name is Nobuyuki Kamijou, he is 54 years old, he lives in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, and he is a company employee.Mr. Kamijou suffered a severe blow to the head and was seriously injured. He is still in a coma.The cause of the accident has not yet been ascertained. While the announcer was broadcasting, a photo appeared on the screen.The words "Mr. Nobuyuki Kamijou" were printed under the photo.Teak thought, this might be the photo on the driver's license. After seeing the photo, Teak couldn't help but have a thought in his mind - I seem to have seen this face somewhere. Oh, and for the threatening letter, when he went to the health club where Hiroshi Hita worked, he was the man who was fascinated by the poster of Fumi Hima.He is the man in the picture. Yuki couldn't help but think of what Fengmei said just now.She said one passenger was a fan of hers.At that time, the man's appearance could indeed confirm Fumi's words. Is it all just by chance? After a short time, the first can of beer bottomed out.Teak opened the refrigerator and took out another can.This can is of a different brand from the one just now, and there are two cans of the same brand of beer in the refrigerator.Teak thought to himself, even if he drank all of them, it would be difficult for him to fall asleep tonight.
