This is clearly a ruse!

Read books, which of course is best read alone.

In the dead of night, it feels good to read at night with candles in the study.

Junichi Watanabe just likes this feeling, and of course, he also likes the moon in the flowers.

But now it's different, this is Boston, this is the United States, it's not like Japan.

So, Junichi Watanabe's choice was to go back to his hotel room after the lobster dinner and start reading this latest work by himself.

I haven't finished writing the latest work yet.

Although he didn't finish it, Junichi Watanabe came to this conclusion after a brief reading.

Ruse!

Moreover, it is a ruse of love.

Okay, you're a ghost, you're the strongest in Higashino.

Ha ha...... I actually wrote something like this.

The biggest key to this is the image of the character of Ishigami.

Junichi Watanabe, as Japan's No. 1 lover, certainly understands that in the relationship between the sexes, appearance accounts for most of the factors.

Or to put it simply, the world is about faces.

Especially you Dongye Qiang, you kid, you have eyebrows with several beautiful girls, when I, a veteran of the love field, can't see it?

In fact, Junichi Watanabe had a very poignant first love, and it is precisely because of this that he wrote so much love and is so famous.

Look at this Ishigami, this guy's appearance is definitely the most unpopular type of woman in Japan at the moment.

In the case of Yasuko Hanaoka...... Well, this woman should be very beautiful, although she carries an oil bottle, but such a woman is not only entangled with Fujian's ex-husband, but also the president of the company, and other people, who are as industrious as bees.

She must have been a very good woman, with the special charm of a mature woman.

It must be like this.

Mr. Watanabe is worthy of being a saint of flowers, and such a picture can be drawn from Higashino's description alone.

It's amazing.

But this ruse is still a ...... in the final analysis

Can love really go this far?

This is Watanabe-sensei asking himself.

In order to love that person, can you really do it to this extent, even contributing everything you have?

Junichi Watanabe dared to say that he had written for so many years, and he had never wanted to know the ending of this film so much.

So, what to do?

Go directly to ask Higashino Qiang?

No, let's read it again and deduce the final result with my profound literary skills.

At the same time, in another room.

Chixing Zhou is also reading the latest work of Mr. Ghost Go.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" has not yet been written, but the details in it have already made Chi Xingzhou's scalp tingle.

He could already fully feel how dangerous the contest between Ishigami and Yukawa Manabu was.

And there are many flaws in the performance of Yasuko Hanaoka and Misato, but these flaws are simply what Ishigami wants to take advantage of.

The most peculiar sentence in this is this.

"Mom, you shouldn't offend that uncle. ”

"Why?"

"Because, he will be unhappy if you do this, and when the time comes, what will the two of us do?"

"You kid......"

This is a conversation between Hanaoka's mother and daughter, and it's about Ishigami, and at this time, Yasuko Hanaoka is already dating the president of the big company.

So, what do Misato's words mean?

Fighting for the stone god?

Is it a criticism of your mother's ignorance?

No!

Chi Xing Zhou considered that it was very likely that judging from the girl Miri, she probably thought that this guy Shishen was simply a strange man.

Very perverted kind.

Moreover, it is very clear now that Ishigami is helping their mother and daughter, what if his mother is not clear with other men and makes that Uncle Ishigami angry?

Other words.

It's Ishigami who has come out to help the two mothers and daughters, but in the case of Misato, she may still hate this Uncle Ishigami.

He's so ugly, too lewd.

But!

Even such a state of mind was taken advantage of by the stone god.

He just wants to highlight his perversion at the moment, he is not a normal person at all.

Ishigami is actually playing the role of a beautiful mother and daughter, a lewd neighbor ugly man with evil intentions.

In this way, it can make him more suspicious.

can make his motive for killing more sufficient.

If you think about it this way, then this one is simply ...... That's great!

The logic is rigorous, and it reaches the pinnacle.

And, most crucially, Ishigami himself is a genius known for his logical rigor.

It's a ghost teacher.

So...

What's the end?

Didn't finish writing.

What to do?

A smile appeared on the face of Chi Xing Zhou's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, it seemed that tonight was a sleepless night.

At the same time, Higashino Qiang did not sleep.

However, he was discussing a different topic.

"Saikyo, Mr. Murakami is so interested in 'It's Your Turn', but what will happen to him when he sees the 'direction' you gave?"

Of course, there are two possibilities, good or bad. ”

"Saikyo, you guy, be serious!"

"Well, I feel that Mr. Murakami should still be satisfied. ”

Of course, Higashino was discussing it with Mr. Keigo.

The previous "It's Your Turn", the so-called 'finished' of his Higashino Qiang refers to this 'direction'.

That is, the final explanation for the murder of the five girls is because of the real estate problem, that is, the housing price.

But isn't there something wrong with that?

When Mr. Keigo saw this, he really thought it was good, but now it's Mr. Murakami who wants to see it.

Well, of course, Higashino Qiang will admit that this 'direction' was written after thinking of a movie.

"Victoria No. 1", this movie is produced in Hong Kong, and of course it tells the story of Hong Kong.

What's the best thing about Hong Kong?

Prices!

The high level of housing prices in Hong Kong is truly breathtaking.

There was even such a statement later.

Save for a down payment to buy a property.

Stupid!

Waiting for public housing.

Waste of spirit!

The only way out for young people in Hong Kong is to go to jail!

It's really direct and profound.

What's even more interesting is that the real popularity of this meme is in our country.

Higashino Qiang faces this, doesn't he still understand?

In fact, this is the voice of reality, and the reflection is reality.

However, it is very dangerous to talk about housing prices or something else.

Maybe you can only do some vocalization in this way.

The woman in "Victoria No. 1", in order to buy a house, she went directly to kill people, and even one was not enough.

This kind of superficially grotesque plot is actually ...... Drove people crazy.

Dong Yeqiang bought a house in the imperial capital, but he only bought such a one, he really didn't want to speculate on the house, it was just a means similar to deposits.

Moreover, this house may also be useful, but what if one day, Higashino-sensei returns to his home country?

Isn't that the house where you live?

That's a vision.

I don't know how many years it was.

But now, 2008 is just around the corner, and there are already many signs in the international financial markets.

The subprime mortgage crisis, the collapse of several investment banks.

In fact, before Lehman, banks in the UK had failed a number of times.

To know the role of the United Kingdom, London is also an extremely important financial center.

And Hong Kong and so on.

In fact, the current Hong Kong property market is already falling.

In such a situation, how can I, my ghost teacher, not send a righteous kick?

Of course, Mr. Keigo sarcastically mocked him.

Why not stand up and speak out?

Higashino only smiled in the face of this sarcasm.

Because he knows too well that it is useless to shout when he comes out.

Those investors, as well as other people from all walks of life, who are caught in this gambling game, how can they listen to his ghost teacher shouting and give up?

Absolutely not, they will laugh at Mr. Kigo.

Aren't you just a writer, you know a fart in international finance!

Yes, exactly.

So, Higashino Qiang simply wrote it inside.

At least let the ghosts and our party see that they may still understand their good intentions.

So...

"Saikyo, but the house price has risen, so you say that your house is worth it, isn't that a good thing?"

Mr. Guigo raised such a question.

Higashino Qiang laughed, "That's right, this does seem to be worth it." ”

"Looks?" said Mr. Keigo.

Higashino Qiang explained slightly, "It just looks valuable." In terms of houses, people who have real estate are of course happy when they see housing prices soaring, but they don't count anything else.

Houses, as far as the current situation is concerned, are rarely bought in full, because they can't afford it.

Then, in the case of loans, the interest rate of the loan will not be low in terms of housing price growth, at least above 4.

Why are mortgages so cheap in Japan? Because banks are not stupid, they know that it may be difficult for the house to appreciate in the future.

The economy is stagnant, what will house prices rise?

As for this wave, it is clearly influenced by international finance.

Having said that, with an interest rate of 4, a 20-year mortgage, how much do you need to pay?

Presumably, this house price will increase by 60% more than the original price to be considered profitable.

Yes, even if it's up 60%.

But what about the rest?

House prices have risen, which soon led to an increase in other costs of living.

To put it simply, living in a 20,000-square-meter community is the same as living in a 10,000-square-meter community.

Which is more expensive to live with?

The obvious answer is yes.

Well, let's do the math again, because of the increase in the cost of living...... This soaring housing prices, even if you are a homeowner, do you really enjoy it?"

Higashino Qiang's analysis is actually very simple, and he doesn't say anything about investment or anything in terms of the so-called 'just need'.

Rigid needs are not the most basic.

But even this is the most basic, and it is difficult to really enjoy the benefits of soaring housing prices.

And, there's a particular key point.

That is, 20 years, even if the real rigid needs are not necessarily 20 years, at least ten years.

After all this time, what will happen?

Who can be sure?

It is said that the investment in the house is stable, but is it really stable?

One particular flaw of the house is that it is difficult to monetize.

Especially for old houses in the last year, the banks are very smart, and they definitely calculate depreciation when making loans.

What Higashino Qiang means is not that no one can make money from it, such as the imperial capital, the house was originally very cheap, and later...

That, of course, is a good deal.

But at the moment, most of them are basically going to take over, especially the so-called rigid demand.

Mr. Keigo listened to this and pondered for a long time.

"Saikyo, are you using your strengths?"

What are the advantages?

Higashino Qiang smiled: "Anyway, the section I crossed over seems to be unable to rise." ”

He didn't have to say much, he believed that Mr. Keigo should have understood.

"Haha......" Mr. Keigo laughed, "Saikyo, sure enough, it's you, you're still the same ghost!"

This seems a bit strange, but Higashino didn't dig into it.

The next day, early in the morning.

"Higashino-kun!"

"Higashino-sensei!"

"Haha...... Saikyo, tell us about the end of this book, how do you want to write it?"

Chixing Zhou, director Takida, and Junichi Watanabe, the three of them can't wait to ask about the ending of this.

There are dark circles on the face.

It's a normal place to sleep.

What does Higashino Qiang say?

But at this moment, another person appeared.

"Saikyo, you want us to help you come up with ideas, right? Do you want to arrange the plot of Hanaoka's mother and daughter murder at the beginning, right?"

This person is none other than Mr. Murakami.

There are also dark circles on the face.

What else can Higashino Qiang say?

As soon as everyone saw everyone's appearance, there was also the appearance of Mr. Murakami.

I couldn't help but laugh.

......

At the same time, Roppongi.

"This, what the hell is this ......"

Yu Aoi had returned to the apartment with trepidation, but she didn't see the other sisters.

So, it's good to get some sleep.

But when she opened her eyes again, she found that she was tied hand and foot, on the bed...
