"Public apology?" Wu Xiaotian asked lightly.

"Yes!" Kimura nodded heavily.

This was a decision he made in a short time after seeing the speeches of many judges. Because this matter was because Wu Xiaotian refused to receive the award, which led to a series of subsequent events. So if he wanted to solve it, he naturally had to start with Wu Xiaotian.

Then, the first thing Kimura has to do is to agree to Wu Xiaotian’s suggestion and apologize publicly to the public.

This may be helpless, but Kimura also had to do so.

Obviously, after many judges spoke, someone soon realized the trick inside, and eventually someone would investigate it clearly. Even if the people who investigated were not policemen, they could handle the reporters around the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

It's so funny. Kimura was still mocking Wu Xiaotian just now, saying that the reporters would put pressure on him, but in such a short time, it was his turn.

"Yes." Wu Xiaotian nodded.

This result was unexpected, but also beyond his expectations.

It is expected because Wu Xiaotian knew that from the awards tonight, most of the awards were fair. Although some of them were not convinced, they were within the controllable range. This means that most of the evaluations of this year's mystery novel competition are fair and just, and perhaps only a small part is unfair. It is even said that only he and Tanaka won this award is up to debate.

Therefore, his refusal to receive the award will inevitably cause an uproar in Japan, China and even the world, which will prompt many people to pay attention to this matter. What is the truth of the matter, and there will inevitably be a clear result.

Speaking of unexpected things, the result was a bit fast, and the situation had reversed in just over a dozen minutes.

"Then I'll wait for Mr. Kimura's apology news." Wu Xiaotian smiled slightly, then looked at the time, and said, "It's not too late, I should go and rest."

After saying that, he left the conference room without looking back, leaving Kimura and several others standing there with a look of mourning expression on their faces.

...

Soon, Kimura held a press conference in the name of the competition organizing committee, and the venue of the press conference was the hotel where Wu Xiaotian stayed.

This was decided by Kimura. Since he had decided to apologize publicly, he knew that someone would take the blame for this matter, and the person who took the blame was naturally himself, of course he was himself. Since he had decided to stand up, the sooner the matter was resolved, the better.

Because the longer the time goes on, the bigger the matter will be, and it may even cause devastating damage to the Japanese mystery novel Grand Prix competition brand. This is something he absolutely does not want to see.

"Do you know what's going on? Why did Kimura hold a press conference? And the location is actually in the hotel where Wu Xiaotian stays."

"It should be about Wu Xiaotian's refusal to receive the award tonight!"

"I think so. I guess Kimura, chairman of the competition organizing committee, has reached some opinions with Wu Xiaotian, so he held a press conference so urgently."

"Hey, when it comes to this matter, I'm really a little dizzy now. What do you think is going on? How come the judges say something is revealed in a hint of weirdness."

When they saw Kimura, surrounded by Japanese and Chinese journalists, they rushed up without hesitation.
