A year ago, he was still an unknown boxer who didn't know if he could make a living in this field.
However, because the player who was scheduled to appear a year ago was caught due to tax evasion due to endorsements and could not play, Araki came on as an emergency substitute.
No one was optimistic about this game, thinking it was destined to be a match where veterans would bully rookies.
And that was indeed the case. Araki was beaten badly in the first five rounds. Look at his strong mouth. He took a punch and his mouth turned purple."
Tang Ze naturally saw the photo that occupied a page of the magazine. Araki in the photo looked extremely embarrassed.
"And then there was a reversal?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows, having already guessed that this would be a plot similar to the opening cliché of later novels.
“That’s right!”
The middle-aged man's expression was still excited: "No one expected that Araki, who was at a disadvantage in the first five rounds due to his lack of ring experience, could adjust himself so quickly.
At 1 minute and 18 seconds in the 6th round, he knocked out Junxiu Wutian, who was ranked second in the Neon District of the "World Series" with a beautiful right hook!
At that time, many of his peers were not optimistic about him and basically left the market early.
Only because I stayed until the end and captured this wonderful moment, was this issue of the magazine sold out. "
"No wonder you like the 'Golden Boy' so much." Tang Ze said with a smile, "It's obvious that you two complement each other."
"No, I was just lucky enough to film his first fight. Even without me, he would have become famous later."
Although the middle-aged man was very humble in his words, he was obviously very pleased with Tang Ze's words, and this was fully reflected on his face.
"It seems that the other party's performance was pretty good afterwards?" Chiba immediately took over the other party's topic.
"Yes, Araki got more opportunities after that. After all, everyone wanted to see whether he was lucky or had real ability."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "As a result, Araki, having got the opportunity, won the subsequent games with an overwhelming momentum and finally gained a foothold in the 'World Series'.
The name "Golden Boy" that I first used for him became widely recognized and eventually became his code name."
"Okay, that's enough! Araki, come here."
Just when Chiba was about to ask something, the middle-aged man standing next to the man who had just scolded them suddenly stopped him, called Araki over, and started to instruct him about something.
"I guess this is the owner of the boxing gym?" Tang Ze asked with a smile.
"No, that's coach Shi Tong. The owner of this boxing gym, Kitagawa, is currently in hospital for a long time due to poor health. The gym is basically managed by coach Shi Tong." The man explained.
"So that's how it is."
Tang Ze had just finished speaking when the man who had asked them to keep their voices down announced to the people around him that the public practice was over.
The middle-aged man who had provided them with a lot of information before, as well as several reporters with cameras around, said goodbye to Araki one after another.
Afterwards, Tang Ze and the other man went to find Coach Shi Tong and explained their identities and purpose.
"So you came here because of Miyasaka's matter."
After hearing the purpose of their visit, Coach Shi Tong quickly invited them to the reception room behind the boxing gym.
"Did you hear of his death?"
Because the news report only said that Miyasaka Yuichi fell to his death and was suspected of suicide, Karasawa was very cautious in his choice of words and just said that he had died so as not to alert the enemy.
"Ah, I know. It was reported on the TV news." Coach Shi Tong nodded and said, "But why did the two police officers come to my place?"
"Well, the last webpage Mr. Miyasaka browsed before he passed away was a report about the Hanaki match, so we were wondering if he knew your gym."
While Tang Ze was explaining, Junya Araki came over from the training ground. After hearing what Tang Ze said, he couldn't help but say, "My relationship with him is actually pretty good."
"Can you tell me in detail?" Tang Ze said with a smile.
"Mr. Miyasaka is my fellow townsman and also my senior in high school. Before I became famous, he often took care of me and invited me to dinner," Jun Araki replied.
"Does he often come to watch you practice?" Chiba continued to ask.
"It seems not. Before I defeated Takeda Junxiu, he had no interest in boxing." Jun Araki took a sip of water, thought for a while and replied.
"In other words, he became interested in boxing only after you became famous," Tang Ze concluded.
"This is normal. An ordinary junior suddenly defeated the second-ranked player in the Neon Zone of the World Championship. Anyone would be surprised." Jun Araki said with a smile.
"Mr. Miyasaka has been very enthusiastic about seeking sponsorship for us recently and has also sent us gifts and other things, which has helped us a lot." Coach Shi Tong said with a smile.
"Is that so?"
Tang Ze nodded to show that he understood, then smiled and looked at the three people in the room and said, "I wonder what the three of you did between 7 and 8 o'clock last night?"
"Are you suspecting that the people in our boxing gym are criminals?" Coach Shi Tong asked back after hearing Tang Ze's words.
"No, no, you all know that we are here to investigate the cause of Mr. Miyasaka's death, so we still have to go through the routine questioning process." Tang Ze narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
"As for me, I went out for a long run alone." Jun Araki answered directly.
"I was watching TV at home alone." The young coach replied immediately afterwards.
"I'm going to settle the accounts in this room." Coach Shi Tong pointed to the table beside him and said, "After all, the president is not here right now. I also need to organize the information and wait for the president to come back so that I can understand the situation."
