Chapter 104: Inside Story (33)

Although the real culprit of this shooting, Takao Ohkawa, has been arrested.

But the case is not over yet.

After giving instructions on how to deal with the scene, Megure Juzo arrived at the Harbor Royal Garden Hotel, where many people from the entertainment industry were staying, two hours later than Sera Masumi and his group.

Here, Megure Juzo, Sera Masumi and their group met the director, Horita Yoshitoki, who had hurried back.

And here, the questioning began.

After questioning, Yoshitoki Horita also talked about his disfigurement.

"It was about ten years ago. One night, I took a taxi home after attending a celebration party for a movie that had just finished shooting."

"I had drunk some wine and felt thirsty, so I asked the taxi to drop me off at a convenience store near my home."

"I went to buy some drinks and came out, and then on my way home, a car turning right hit me."

"I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, but the abrasions on my face were like a bolt from the blue for me as an actor at the time."

"So after I was discharged from the hospital, I went to the Tokyo University Medical Hospital and asked Ohga, who was working there at the time, to help me with cosmetic surgery to remove my scars."

"May I ask if Mr. Hotta had already met Mr. Ohkawa at that time?"

At this time, Masumi Sera suddenly interrupted and asked.

"Well, we have known each other for a long time. Whenever I needed plastic surgery, I would ask him for help."

"Is that so? Mr. Horita, please continue."

After saying this, Masumi Sera fell into deep thought.

"But there was an accident during the operation. After the operation, I found that my entire cheek was paralyzed."

"This incident was like the end of the world for me, but Dahe asked me to give him a chance to make up for his mistake, so I asked him to help me with the facial nerve transplant surgery."

"This surgery was quite successful. Basically my entire cheek has recovered, but the area around my left eye still seems to have no reaction."

"I was devastated by this and finally decided to give up the path of being an actor."

Yoshitoki Horita narrated.

Everyone present couldn't help but feel pity when they saw his left cheek, which didn't move at all while he was talking, and his drooping eyelids.

"Excuse me, Mr. Horita, how is your relationship with Mr. Ohkawa going after that?"

Sera Masumi asked at this time.

"He voluntarily quit his job because of this accident and was depressed for a long time."

“So I didn’t blame him too much.”

Yoshitoki Hotta replied.

"Excuse me, Mr. Horita, have you ever considered that the medical incident was not an accident?"

Sera Masumi suddenly interrupted.

The people around who heard what Sera Masumi said also showed surprised expressions.

"I've thought about it, but I don't think Taiga would do something like that to me."

"If he deliberately caused my facial paralysis, then he wouldn't have to work so hard when performing the facial nerve transplant on me, right?"

Just as Yoshitoki Horita said this, a female voice filled with anger suddenly came over:
"That's not right. Mr. Horita only had a scratch on his face at the time. It wasn't serious."

"But it was a medical malpractice that caused the entire cheek to be paralyzed. Isn't that strange?"

Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Then I saw a very artistic woman, looking over here with an angry look on her face.

Masumi Sera and others did not know this person.

But Akikawa Sosuke knew him.

That was the screenwriter Oda Ema, who I met in Yoshitoki Horita's personal exhibition hall yesterday and was chatting with Horita Yoshitoki at that time.

By the way, the movie Akikawa Sosuke and his friends watched this morning was written by Oda Ema.

After introducing himself to everyone, Oda Ema looked at Horita Yoshitoki and said:

"Besides, Mr. Horita, you said that when Takao Ohkawa performed the facial nerve transplant surgery on you, he worked very hard. Then why is there still paralysis around your eyes?"

"In my opinion, it is clear that Ohkawa Takao deliberately messed up the operation, and then performed a facial nerve transplant on you as an apology."

"When he performed the facial nerve transplant surgery, he deliberately did not completely heal the area around your left eye, Mr. Horita, and you lost the opportunity to continue to be an actor!"

"No, I've said it many times, Taiga is not as bad as you think, Ms. Oda."

Yoshitoki Horita was opposed to Oda Ezin's conspiracy theory.

Oda Ema looked very angry, and her cheeks turned red.

Sera Masumi keenly noticed that when Oda Ema addressed Ohkawa Takao, he did not add any title, but called him by his name.

Obviously, Oda Ema had a deep grudge against Ohkawa Takao.

"Ms. Oda, what is the reason for your such thought?" asked Sera Masumi.

"A woman's sixth sense!"

"."

After hearing what Oda Ema said, everyone around was speechless.

I really didn't expect that a famous screenwriter like Oda Ema would say such a thing.

Oda Ema could also see what people around him were thinking through their reactions.

She said again in a loud voice:
"I have known Mr. Horita and Takao Ohkawa for a long time."

"I've always seen that Ohkawa Takao has always been jealous of Mr. Horita's achievements and fame in the entertainment industry."

"I've seen this many times before. When Mr. Horita reported the good news to Takao Ohkawa, Takao Ohkawa showed a hypocritical smile and then turned to look dissatisfied."

"I even think that the car that hit Mr. Horita was arranged by Takao Ohkawa."

"He knows that Mr. Horita trusts him, so he will definitely come to him for cosmetic surgery, and then implement his series of disfigurement plans!"

"enough!"

Yoshitoki Horita suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

Oda Ema was so scared that he shut his mouth immediately.

But even so, this screenwriter with a strong literary temperament still has an unwavering expression on his face.

"This matter has passed, and there is no point in discussing it now."

Yoshitoki Horita said slowly.

"By the way, Mr. Horita, I do agree with Ms. Oda's statement."

Sera Masumi's voice rang out again.

"There is something you may not know. Today at the film festival, Mr. Ohkawa killed Director Sogabe and Director Soma, and he is planning to pin the blame on you."

"what--?!"

Two surprised roars rang out at the same time.

One is from Yoshitoki Horita, and the other is from Ezin Oda.

It was obvious that both of them were extremely shocked by Sera Masumi's words.

"I never thought there would be an inside story in this case."

aside.

Akikawa Sosuke looked at Oda Ema's pale face from afar and thought to himself.
