In the lounge, the three referees met An Qingyi and reported the timing to An Qingyi.

An Qing nodded repeatedly, and even when he heard that the second place was 10.7 seconds and the first place was 10.8 seconds, he deliberately showed a surprised expression, pretending to have no idea about this, and perfectly showed off his acting skills.

But in Kiyoichiko's heart, he had already scolded Ryuto Yoshioka and Chen Qiang 800 times.

"Yiyoka Ryudo, can't you run faster? A little faster? Get the championship back and nothing will happen!"

"There is that Chinese, Baga! Can't you run slower? If you run slower and let Ryude Yoshioka win the championship, isn't there anything left?"

An Qingyi cursed in her heart, but her expression was not revealed at all, and she still seemed to listen carefully to the referee's report.

The referee said the situation and said, "President An Qing, I think there are three possibilities for this situation. The first possibility is that the timer in charge of the second line made a mistake in the operation of the timer, and they pressed the timer too quickly; the second possibility is that the timer in charge of the fourth line made a mistake in the operation of the timer, and they pressed the timer too slowly. But so far, these four timer denied this. So I think the third possibility should be given priority."

"What is the third possibility?" An Qingyi asked.

"The mechanical failure of the timer. I think it is very likely that the mechanical failure of the timer caused this accident." The referee continued: "So you should check the timer now. As long as it is found that it is a mechanical failure, the suspect of the timer's operation error can be eliminated. On the contrary, if the timer does not have a mechanical failure, we will investigate whether the two timers made the operation error."

The referee was reasonable and well-founded. An Qingyi nodded repeatedly, but was shocked.

Check the timer? What a joke! If you really check the timer, then the timer has been modified will be exposed! That is equivalent to telling the whole world that the Japanese cheat for the victory of the game! That is a shocking scandal!

This is competitive sports. You can lose, you can give up, but you can never cheat. Those who lose the game, those who give up the game, may not be criticized, but those who cheat to win the game will definitely be criticized by thousands of people.

What's more, Japan is the organizer this time. If he organizes the competition himself and cheats himself, and is caught in the current situation, Japanese sports will never be able to raise his head.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Kiyoshi must not check the timer. After all, this is an intercontinental competition, and the organizer of Japan cannot cover the situation with one hand. The other two participating teams, China and the Philippines, also sent representatives. There are also many non-Japanese among the referees. Once there is a controversial situation, the representatives of China and the Philippines will be involved.

What's more, the Far East Games is an event recognized by the International Olympic Committee, so the International Olympic Committee will also send observers to the Far East Games. By the same token, once there is a controversial situation, the International Olympic Committee observers will also intervene in the investigation.

The second place is 0.1 second faster than the first place. This is a controversial situation. If you want to make any public information, whether it is to check the timer or investigate the timer, representatives of China and the Philippines and observers of the International Olympic Committee will intervene. In that case, the cheating behavior of Han Qingyi will probably be misleading.

"You must never let others check the timer!" An Qingyi thought of this, coughed dryly, and said, "I thought of a possibility."

"President An Qing, please speak." The three referees put on a look of listening.

"I think it was the four timekeepers who made the wrong track. The timekeeper in the second lane recorded the fourth lane's results, while the timekeeper in the fourth lane recorded the second lane's results. So the real situation is that the player in the second lane scored 10.8 seconds, while the player in the fourth lane scored 10.7 seconds." An Qingyi said.

The three referees looked at each other, but they didn't understand why Kishi Qingyi said that.

The timer remembers the track wrongly, and four people remember it wrongly at the same time, how could such a low-level mistake happen? This is even more exaggerated than shooting athletes hitting someone else's gun target.

However, An Qingyi added: "In my opinion, this is not a work mistake by the timer. This is a small problem in communication. So there is no need to investigate the timer or check the timer. We can just publish the results of the contestants directly. The score of the fourth line is 10 seconds 7, while the score of the second line is 10 seconds 8."

The performance of An Qingyi is already the organizer's direct intervention in the judgment of the results of the competition, which is definitely an act that violates sports ethics.

Moreover, the three referees also realized that An Qingyi did not want to make a big deal, but instead solved the matter as soon as possible, or fooled it into it like a way.

The three referees felt that things were definitely not as simple as An Qingyi said. It was not that the timer remembered the runway wrongly, but that An Qingyi wanted to cover up something.

"Conspiracy Theory" engages in the hearts of the three referees.

But An Qingyi continued: "Three referees, I will do this for everyone. This is just a small communication problem. If you really investigate it, it will take time and effort, and the final result will be a communication problem. So we might as well save time and focus more energy on future games. What do you think of it?"

There was a faint sense of threat in An Qingyi's words, and the sentence "The final result will also be a communication problem" was more like a warning!

After all, Kishi Kishi is the president of the Japan Sports Association and is also a powerful figure. The three referees dare not offend Kishi Kishi. Faced with Kishi Kishi's threats and warnings, the three referees finally chose to compromise.

Just a few are not for the powerful!

Moreover, Kishi Kishi's statement is also a way of explanation, a communication problem that covers everything. For the referee, he only needs to change the results of Chen Qiang and Takatoshi Yoshioka, and the results after the exchange also match the rankings on the court.

...

After the three referees left, An Qingyi smashed the teacup on the table.

At this time, Kishi Kishi was very angry, but in addition to being angry, he was more helpless.

An Qingyi didn't want to make things worse. He was worried that once things got bigger, cheating would be exposed, so he wanted to calm the matter as quickly as possible.

Therefore, he thought of this kind of remedy method and changed the results of Chen Qiang and Yoshioka Ryude. Chen Qiang's score became 10.7 seconds, while Yoshioka Ryude's score became 10.8 seconds. In this way, Chen Qiang's score was the first and second place in Yoshioka Ryude's score could also be explained. At the same time, there was no need to investigate the timer's mistakes or check the timer.

However, this method is equivalent to giving up the 10-second Asian record to Chen Qiang.

An Qingyi felt that his careful layout was in the end but Chen Qiang was cheaper.

It’s really a waste of rice if you steal a chicken!

...

Although the victory and the Chinese team have begun to celebrate the victory, there is another procedure next, which is to announce the results of the contestants.

However, what was unexpected was that the contestants' results were never announced, and the three referees were also called away.

"An accident happened again?" Chen Qiang remembered the scene of an extra match in the Shanghai National Games selection competition and the death group encountered during the National Games.

"It seems that my game has never been smooth. Is this a natural bad physique?" Chen Qiang said in his heart.

After waiting for most of the day, the three referees finally returned to the scene and announced their results.

"The first lane, 11 seconds 2."

"The second lane, 10 seconds 8."

When the referee said this result, Chen Qiang was already overjoyed.

The second leg of Yoshioka Ryudo is the runner-up. He has already scored 10.8 seconds. So the championship will definitely surpass 10.8 seconds, which will be a new Asian record!

"The third lane, 11 seconds."

"The fourth lane, 10 seconds 7!"

It's indeed an Asian record!
