The temperature dropped a little that day.
Looking at the cold wind outside the window that was blowing the snow off the branches, Sufang Hongzi tightened her mink coat around her body.
She is already an old woman in her sixties.
But as the saying goes, wealth nourishes people, Su Fanghongzi always looks elegant and glamorous in front of others, and every move she makes is filled with plain dignity.
She asked someone to pour her a glass of red wine.
There are only seven days left before the charity gala, and everything is going smoothly.
The mystery writer who spoke rudely to her on the phone seemed to do nothing. Perhaps he was overwhelmed by the frequent negative articles in recent days. After all, Sufang Hongzi spent a lot of thought on this matter.
Understand that charity is like a business.
While Su Fang Hongzi was making money, she was also developing her network. Her client list included celebrities from all walks of life and even some friends in the political arena.
Similarly, the entertainment company she founded has some influence in the industry. While she is on good terms with many of her peers, she also has many channels through which to express her opinions.
Compared with her who has been working in society for many years, Hayashi Yoshiki is just a young man who has just started out.
Of course, in order to prevent Hayashi Yoshiki from having any black material or evidence in his hands, Su Fang Hongzi specially arranged for her secretary to do a lot of practical work and tried to cover up some possible loopholes... She was confident that Hayashi Yoshiki would not be able to find any solid evidence. After all, what she did was not an idiotic operation like collecting everyone's money and putting it directly into her pocket.
After being rejected by Hayashi Yoshiki, Sufang Hongzi originally planned to invite "Sleeping Kogoro" who has also become famous recently. However, who would have thought that the other party would immediately hang up the phone in a cold tone as soon as he heard her name.
Do I have a grudge against the detective?
Sufang Hongzi was secretly annoyed at the other party's ingratitude - she had originally wanted to invite Maori Kogoro over, and then use his name to play the game of stepping on one and praising the other.
"Teacher Sufang! Teacher Sufang!!!"
There was a sudden urgent knock on the door outside Sufang Hongzi's room.
"Please come in...what's the rush?"
"Something terrible is happening!!!"
When Sufang Hongzi saw her secretary Inaba Kazuyo walking in with several newspapers and a grim look on her face, she had a bad feeling in her heart and hurriedly went to greet him: "What's wrong?"
"Hurry up and read what's in the newspaper!"
The newspaper handed over by Inaba Kazuyo was suddenly snatched away by Sufang Hongzi.
After a quick glance, Su Fang Hongzi's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, and her hand holding the newspaper trembled slightly: "How, how could it be...?"
She quickly flipped through the newspaper at the back.
Seeing the large headlines on the newspapers made Su Fang Hongzi suddenly feel dizzy.
"The true face of Hongyan Propaganda Company's charity dinner!"
"External account book? Internal account book?"
Sufang Hongzi: The Business of Charity
"A big move by the Queen of Law? Several newspapers are sued!"
"Hongyan Propaganda Company suspected of illegal fundraising, false charity"
"Super Popular Idol Okino Yoko Opens Up"
"The Suzuki Foundation announces the establishment of the Suzuki Charitable Foundation"
"The police have initiated an investigation into Hongyan Propaganda Company"
"The Former Oriental Canary Who Lines His Pockets"
What's going on?
What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?
Holding these newspapers, Sufang Hongzi's face turned pale. It even took her several seconds to gradually recover. The expression on her face became confused and anxious. She even subconsciously grabbed the sleeve of her secretary Inaba Kazuyo and said hurriedly: "What's going on!? Why does this information appear in the newspaper! This doesn't make sense! What evidence do they have!?!"
"I, I don't know, Mr. Sufang!"
Inaba Kazuyo's expression was also panicked.
As Su Fang Hongzi's right-hand subordinate, she also had a share of the money that Su Fang Hongzi had embezzled over the past decade, so she was very panicked when she saw that the police had opened a case for investigation.
It was a very cold day, but Su Fanghongzi was so anxious that she was sweating.
At this time, she felt dizzy when she looked at the dense black words on the newspaper. She tried to suppress her panic and numbness in her head and tried to figure out what the problem was. However, she found that the newspaper was spreading rumors that an old woman like her was doing some disgusting things while doing charity for orphans. Su Fang Hongzi was so angry that she started to breathe shortly.
Spreading rumors!
They actually made up such rumors about an old woman. Have the consciences of these media people been eaten by dogs?!
But after seeing the serious content and solid evidence in other newspapers, Su Fang Hongzi knew that she was definitely finished this time...
At this time, Inaba Kazuyo suddenly received a call.
Then her face changed drastically and she quickly turned on the TV in the room. When she switched to a certain channel, the content projected on the screen was the live broadcast of the press conference of rock musician Aikawa Fuyuya.
I saw Aichuan Fuyuya standing in front of the reporters' cameras, facing the camera and saying in a heavy tone:
"I'm sorry to bother you all. I'm Aikawa Touya. I'm holding this press conference today for only one purpose - to expose the fact that Sofang Hongzi is a murderer!"
As Aichuan Fuyuya's voice fell, the reporters at the press conference were in an uproar.
For a moment, the flashing of flashes and the sound of shutter clicks rose and fell, and reporters frantically rushed to Aikawa Touya with their microphones.
Looking at the screen where Aikawa Touya was facing the camera, his eyes filled with strong hatred as if he was looking into hers, Sufang Hongzi was so scared that she fell to the ground.
Five years ago, Su Fang Hongzi committed a crime of hit-and-run.
In order to get rid of the crime, she put the blame on the maid who had been taking care of her. Later, in order to avoid being exposed, she killed the maid and faked it as suicide - and Ai Kawan Fuyuya was the child of that maid!
When did he find out about these things!?
Su Fanghongzi felt cold all over.
"Also, I want to report Sufang Hongzi for pocketing the income from charity over the years, and she--"
"Turn it off! Turn it off quickly!!"
Unwilling to look at these things anymore, the old woman screamed wildly.
She even climbed up to grab the remote control from Inaba Kazuyo, but accidentally pressed the button to change the channel.
"Recently, the news about Hongyan Propaganda Company's fake charity has been making the rounds. Our station is honored to have the famous mystery novelist Mr. Hayashi Yoshiki on stage for an interview."
"Before I go on stage, I will play a recording of a phone call between Mr. Hayashi Yoshiki and Sufang Hongzi regarding the charity gala."
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
"As for the reason, I don't want you to pocket the money, right?"
"There are people in society who would choose to survive by abusing the kindness of others to gain benefits."
""Bragging only shows your weakness, Ms. Sufang Hongzi.""
"Next, please welcome Mr. Hayashi Yoshiki to the stage."
