Chapter 38 Section 38

It seems that some program recording has ended.Groups of young girls walked through the lobby and came out from the gate of the TV company. Everyone was well-dressed and looked radiant.It should be an entertaining show.Originally, in two or three years, Qian Jing could become such a girl, Ayumura thought while watching these girls. Not only them, but people who walk in the TV company feel that every day seems to be very fulfilling.They seem to be completely unaware of the subject of the live program broadcast here just now.Ayumura can imagine that for ordinary people, the suffering of victims of juvenile delinquency has nothing to do with them.

The same goes for the director.He thought of the young man he had first met two hours earlier. During rehearsals, he repeatedly told Ayumura the same words.He said, we want you to express your dissatisfaction with the current juvenile law, and such topics will also appear in the next discussion, so the host will ask for your opinion at that time. But the director began to make one request after another. "You don't have to say it all, you can say what you want, even if it's strong, because the most important thing is to get your anger across to the audience. We want you to blow it up, even if it's a little bit hyperbolic .”

Although he was angry with Juvenile Law, he could show it if he was not told to be as angry as possible.Even if he was asked to exaggerate, he didn't know how far to exaggerate. It turned out that Ayumura was not invited to participate in the discussion.He was a little dissatisfied.They told him that they wanted to invite him to attend a seminar related to juvenile law, but when they arrived at the scene, they realized that their role had already been set—that is, the role of going mad at lawyers who insisted on protecting juvenile law.Perhaps when he arrived at the scene, his anger would soar.But it would be too strange to decide the lines to be said in advance.

But the director explained: Because this is a live show. "If you can't speak at that time, it will be a big embarrassment. If you don't set some procedures in advance, the show will not go on. And some words and body expressions are not suitable for live shows. We usually hire inexperienced people. People practice more times." Then the director added: "This is what TV shows do." During the official recording, Ayumura wanted to speak very much. Next to him was a 20-year-old AD who kept discussing things with the director.Ayumura tried to tell him that he wanted to express his opinion.

"Just a moment, the host will ask for your opinion shortly." AD said so, but the editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine and the lawyer took turns to argue with each other, and the host seemed to have forgotten the existence of Ayumura.Of course, he didn't forget that he should also be performing the show according to the pre-set procedures. It was finally Ayumura's turn to speak, but that was just something discussed beforehand.Ayumura had no choice but to follow the script.Because he still has the opportunity to express his opinion after listening to the director. But until the end of the show, he only spoke that once.Not only that, but by the second half of the show, his mic was removed.

They don't count their words, he thought.He was angry with Odagiri of "Focus Weekly" who invited him on the show. He originally planned to protest the content of the report to him, but was instead asked.Odagiri said that he hoped that he would participate in the seminar held by the TV station. "There is a group that is studying the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. He protested to us, saying that our reporting like this is tantamount to naming names, saying that we have not protected the privacy of juveniles. Don't you think what they said is exaggerated? This time We only intended to protect the privacy of Mr. Ayumura, but if there is something incomplete, I apologize to you. Those guys have no right to say anything about privacy, so we decided to fight hard."

Odagiri is a well-spoken man, and although he accepts Ayumura's protests, he tries to win over Ayumura by emphasizing that they have a common enemy.Ayumura has completely fallen into the trap of his talking skills.Of course, when Ayumura heard that someone was going to cover up those juvenile delinquents, a wave of anger did rise up instantly. After agreeing to participate in the taping of the TV show, the time came all at once.Within hours, he was talking to people from the TV company.Ayumura originally wanted to prepare a lot of things for the seminar, and he also wanted to sort out what he was going to say, but he didn't have the time at all.When the situation was not clear, it was his turn to play, and then the video was over.

He thought to himself, is it good or bad to go on such a show?Does that show have the power to appeal? When thinking of this, Odagiri appeared with the people from the TV company.Walking behind them was the editor-in-chief of the magazine and the lawyer named Iwata.Odagiri did not appear on the program, but he also came to the TV station to support the editor-in-chief.The editor-in-chief was completely unaware of the issues to be discussed this time. It was only after Ayumura came to the studio that he realized that Odagiri had been making up for him temporarily in order to appear on the show.

Surprisingly, the editor-in-chief was chatting and laughing with Iwata, and the expressions of the two of them did not leave any displeasure from the show just now, as if they were familiar with each other for a long time. Ayumura looked at the two blankly, and Odagiri found him and walked over. "Thank you for your hard work, you performed very well just now!" Odagiri narrowed his eyes and said leisurely. "Hey! What's the matter?" "Any questions?" "Why is it different from what you said? Didn't you say you want me to speak? But I can't say what I want to say at all."

"No, alas, this kind of program often happens like this, so we have to rehearse several times, please practice not to make unnecessary speeches." Odagiri's expression made people feel very guilty. "Why didn't you let me participate in the discussion? The editor-in-chief only talked about his magazine and didn't defend me at all." "I understand how you feel." The people from the TV company seemed to have noticed Ayumura's attitude, and they all ran away. The editor-in-chief and the lawyer continued to chat, both smiling.Ayumura also saw them exchanging business cards.

"What's going on here? Those two people." Ayumura pointed at the two people with his chin. "What happened to them?" Odagiri asked. "Why do you have such a happy chat? It was obviously still arguing just now." Odagiri turned his head to look at the two of them, let out an "oh", and then smiled. "They were just discussing, not arguing, so when the show is over, of course they will comfort each other. It's not surprising." "Perhaps. But the lawyer came to protest the magazine, right? Even if the show is over, the hostile position should not change, right?" "That's right." Odagiri scratched his head. The editor-in-chief came over, said "Thank you" to Ayumura, and immediately looked at Odagiri. "I'll take Lawyer Iwata to the store from last time." This sentence made Ayumura dumbfounded. It turned out that he planned to invite a lawyer to dinner. "Oh, okay, I see." Odagiri replied with a bit of embarrassment. Zhancun stared blankly at the back of the editor-in-chief who turned back to the lawyer. "Hello! Mr. Odagiri." "Okay, okay!" Odagiri said while using his hands to appease his anger. "Please don't care so much, we are all adults, so you should also understand how much you have to use your wrists!" "What kind of wrist? Do you want to come and have a monkey show too!" Maybe it's because I'm upset that it's called a monkey show!Odagiri was not too happy either. "Hey, what's up with that condition?" "Conditions? Oh..." Odagiri stroked the beard under his chin. When Ayumura agreed to be on TV, Ayumura made a condition.That is, he hoped that Odagiri could introduce to him all the subjects he interviewed when writing the report of "Focus Weekly".He was especially interested in the boy who was closest to Atsuya Banzaki and the others. "Do you still want to see him? I don't think it would be of any use even if you have met him." Odagiri was obviously unhappy. "You're only saying that now." Ayumura said with a straight face, "Could it be you who lied to me?" "No, how can I deceive you? If you say you must see him, I will find a way. It's just for your sake..." "You don't have to think about me, you keep the promise." Ayumura glared at him. Odagiri sighed heavily, lowered the corners of his mouth, and took out a notepad from his jacket pocket. When he came out of the comics rental shop, Ah Cheng asked the price and was shocked because it was more expensive than he expected.Although he didn't look at his watch, it seemed that he had been there for almost four hours. It was dark outside.He felt hungry, but he didn't have enough money left to eat out or go to the convenience store.No way, he had to drag his heavy feet home. He always used to put his hand into his left pocket, but he didn't bring his mobile phone, which should have been there, today.He stayed at home when he went out, it was an order from the police, because Kuaier would call him at some point. It would be great if this matter could end soon, Ah Cheng thought to himself.The mobile phone is not allowed to be used at will, and the police are often watching at home, and he has become estranged from all his former playmates.Although they should have some stake in Kuai Er and Dun Ye, they all regarded Ah Cheng as a scapegoat, and then hid themselves in a safe place.Contacting Ah Cheng now is something they should avoid. The report of "Focus Weekly" made the situation even worse.Although no name was named, it was all about Ah Cheng.As long as you have read the magazine and are familiar with this place, you should be able to immediately guess that it is about Ah Cheng.In fact, on the day that this week's magazine was published, relatives kept calling, and people nearby saw that he was more indifferent than before.Of course, his father would question him again, such as when he was interviewed.Ah Cheng wanted to pretend to be stupid, but the lie that came to him on the spur of the moment was immediately exposed. "How could you be cheated by the weekly people? Are you an idiot? Is this called not writing about you?" His father's anger made Ah Cheng think that he would be beaten. He was indeed cheated, Ah Cheng thought to himself, he didn't expect that person to write like that.However, he just hoped that the other party would not write about himself, so he answered the question so honestly. But Ah Cheng didn't know how to protest.He once again saw the filth and complexity of the adult world. While he was waiting for a traffic light, someone called him from behind. "Are you Makoto Nakai?" Looking back, he saw a short man who looked to be about fifty years old.Could it be the criminal police again? "I am." Ah Cheng replied warily. "Can I spare you some time?" "What's the matter?" "Don't ask so many questions, please come here." The middle-aged man took a step, and Ah Cheng had to follow behind him. In a small alley a little distance from the traffic lights, the man stopped. "Are you Kanno Kai'er's friend?" the man asked suddenly. Ah Cheng looked very nervous, because the man exuded hatred all over his body. "Uncle, what's the matter?" The man stared at him with triangular eyes, "I am the victim's father." "It's the father of the girl you spoiled as a toy, and the father of the girl who committed suicide after being played with." His eyes widened, and he stepped back involuntarily.Could he have come to kill me?Ash thought for a moment. "I... I didn't do anything!" His voice was trembling, and his legs began to tremble. "Stop talking! Did you lend a car to those two guys? You should know what they're doing and help them out, right? Did you enjoy watching the videotape those two guys made?" Ash waved his hands desperately. "I, say I don't know, really, I don't know anything." He looked around to see if the police were there.He felt that his situation was very dangerous. He tried to run away, but couldn't move his legs.Just then, the man spoke again. "It's useless for you to run away. I know where your home is. Let me tell you what I said before. I'm not afraid of being imprisoned at all. Even if I'm sentenced to death, it doesn't matter." Ah Cheng thought he was going to kill me, if he didn't run away quickly—— "Where is Kanno?" the man said, "You should know, right?" "I don't know. If I knew, I would have told the police a long time ago. It's because I don't know, so the police have been watching my house." "Will Kanno contact you?" "I don't know either. The police say maybe!" "Okay," the man nodded, and approached Ah Cheng, "Then you do as I say, and I will let you go." The man's breath smelled fishy.
