Chapter Forty-Four: NEW!
Once again, the trip to Tokyo ended.
Higashino took a plane back to Okinawa.
In my hometown, nothing has changed.
The Dongye grocery store in Dali Village is still not doing well.
"The son is back. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Qiang, what's wrong? Could it be that the trip to Tokyo didn't go well?"
"That's not true. ”
"Oh, that means it went well?"
"Pretty much. ”
"Haha...... Cheer up! Have a good meal in the evening!"
"Dad, that's good, let's install air conditioners at home, install two, so that a good meal at night will be more fragrant." ”
"Huh?"
Higashino Steel really doesn't understand what a good meal at night has to do with installing air conditioning.
I think it may be my son's filial piety.
"Okay!
Chiyo even grabbed her husband directly, "Oh, the child just came back, he should be allowed to rest more, what do you have to say." ”
"Yes, yes, haha......"
The Higashino couple was so busy with direct things, and Higashino Qiang naturally went up to the second floor and returned to his small room.
Throw the bag directly on the tatami mat and lie down.
Comfortable.
Pity.
"Hahaha...... It's so funny, I can't imagine it's so interesting. ”
Mr. Keigo never stopped, he just laughed all the way.
Indeed, this time Mr. Keigo kept his promise and did not eavesdrop on the conversation between Higashino Qiang and Masami Nagasawa.
However, Mr. Keigo still knows the general content.
No way, really no way, because Higashino Qiang's expression is too strange.
It is simply impossible not to say it.
"Masami is a fan of Oguigo, but you say that you are Onigo, and she still doesn't believe it, haha...... And you're a fan of Masami, right? So, the two of you are each other's fans? ”
Mr. Keigo isn't a particularly gossipy ghost either, but this incident is really interesting.
Higashino couldn't help but retort: "I'm not a fan of her!"
"Yes, you like her!" Mr. Kigo said in a very high rank.
"My ......" Higashino Qiang didn't know what to say, "I still stick to my usual idea, I want to make money! ”
"Haha...... It's amazing to see you little devil eating deflated. "Mr. Keigo revealed his true thoughts.
Higashino couldn't help this ghost, so he had to give a look of contempt, but to be honest, at present, the relationship with Masami is really chaotic.
But there's one that's still good.
"At least I've kept the mystery of Onigo. ”
That's the bottom line.
Mr. Keigo couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, I agree with this, haha...... I admired you a little, but at the time, if you had explained sincerely, you should have been able to convince Miss Masami that you were a ghost. ”
That said, it is.
However, this matter has become very complicated, and Higashino Qiang decided to leave it at that.
"I don't want to! Don't mention it! I'm with Masami, it's estimated that it's hard to meet, even if I meet again, it may just be Onigo and Masami, I'll forget it, I don't want to, well, that's it. ”
Higashino seemed to have given up.
Mr. Keigo didn't persuade him, because it was too much fun.
"Let's make a technical summary!" said Mr. Keigo.
That's right, we should make a technical summary, what were the results of this trip to Tokyo and the random wine tasting party?
"You guy, you're still so eager to be rewarded for your steps. Higashino couldn't help but debunk Mr. Keigo.
"Of course, my grudge is to reward the indiscriminate steps!" Keigo generously admitted, "Don't you want me to become a Buddha earlier......?
Without waiting for him to finish, Higashino Qiang simply gave the ghost a punch.
"Haha...... If you can't fight, you'll be. ”
I've never seen anything like this.
Higashino Qiang is also okay, let's make a technical summary, "Although I am not sure yet, the opportunity for random rewards should become greater." ”
He said this, naturally, according to the situation at the cocktail party.
Kigo-sensei vs. Kazuaki Takano.
In the debate on the topic of abolition, Mr. Onigo won a big victory.
After that, there was the affirmation of the great gods.
Although, Haruki Murakami still insists on his view of abolishing death, he also supports Ongo's opinion.
This is a very good situation.
So...
"Thank you!" Mr. Keigo said he was very disciplined this time, "Thank you for helping me become a Buddha." Moreover, after this time, I can see the difficulty of this award. ”
Mr. Keigo kept talking.
This 'difficult' is the current situation of RB.
The topic of abolition has been discussed by RB for many years, but in recent years, it has definitely been a peak.
Mr. Keigo didn't know about this, but now that he saw it, it was clear.
Maybe it's the craze brought up by Mr. Haruki Murakami, and his work is quite powerful.
So, last year's chaotic step award was given to Shou Tengguyu's "Brain Man".
On the surface, this work is really difficult to associate with the abolition of death.
But in fact, there are very direct allusions in this book.
For example, the death penalty is described as power.
For another example, even if the actor Ichiro Suzuki is righteous, he still has to be hunted down.
The extended meaning of these things is actually very clear.
It would be strange if the judges couldn't see it, but they didn't say it.
Based on all this, Mr. Keigo felt more and more about how difficult it was to reward this time.
Higashino Qiang must win against Takano and Ming at this reception, otherwise, this time, that is, when the lottery will be held in May next year, it must be Takano, an obscene uncle.
Mr. Keigo thinks back to the whole process of this trip to Tokyo.
It's a real sinister.
To be able to achieve the current level, it can be said that it is very lucky.
Higashino doesn't say much, he's still very cautious.
"Now it can only be said that it is more likely, after all, there are still months to go. ”
"Of course, but for now, saikyo, I'm very satisfied. ”
"Mr. Keigo, you must understand that getting the Ranbu Reward is not only a matter of becoming a Buddha, but also the 10 million yen that I want the most. ”
"Haha...... Your words are always full of copper stench. ”
"I can't help it, I can only aim for money at the moment, as for other ......"
"saikyo, do you really think RB won't change?"
The two of them talked about this, and Mr. Keigo was quite expectant.
It's a pity that Higashino Qiang replied so.
"That Fukuda wasn't dead at that time. ”
One sentence was enough, and Mr. Keigo's face darkened.
RB is like that.
However, Higashino Qiang said something else, which was kind of comforting Mr. Keigo, "It seems that the year before I crossed over, RB had already admitted that lenient education failed." ”
There are two issues, one is education, and the other is abolition.
It seems that there is no hope of abolishing death, but education is okay.
A look of joy appeared on Mr. Keigo's face.
But he didn't expect that Higashino Qiang would say this next.
"Actually, through this battle, I have a strong interest in abolishing the death penalty, or the death penalty. ”
Higashino's tone carried an inexplicable message, and Mr. Keigo understood it immediately.
"It's new, isn't it?"
I'm going to write a new novel again.
Mr. Keigo immediately thought of another question, "Saikyo, have I ever written a novel about this?"
Higashino Qiang searched through his memories, and then shook his head, "You seem to be more neutral, and there are relatively few works of this kind." ”
"Hah, that's right. ”
In fact, Higashino Qiang did not say everything, although Mr. Keigo did not openly express his inclination.
But.
In "The Cross of Nothingness" and "The Wandering Blade", criminals with no remorse are portrayed. He himself has said that at least the word death should be heard by criminals in court.
Now.
"Wow, did you think of someone else's work?" said Mr. Keigo himself, not a fool.
Higashino Qiang smiled after hearing this, "I can't help it, otherwise, what do you say?"
"......" Mr. Keigo had no choice but to be gloomy.
He actually wanted to write "The Secret", but he knew that now was not the right time.
In addition, it is the curiosity about the works that Higashino Qiang said.
"What kind of novel?"
"Not fiction. ”
Higashino smiled, and Keigo was even more curious.
"Mr. Keigo, let me ask you, what do you think of the death penalty?"
"This ......"
Higashino Qiang was very simple this time, he said: "The death penalty is the deprivation of a person's life, or in other words, the strongest denial of a person. What negation is, you know?"
"This ......" Keigo was a little confused.
Higashino said with a smile: "Negation is power, just like the United Nations, the five major powers have one vote of denial." As for the guys who can only vote for and abstain, do you think they have the power?"
"Yes! That's it! Denial is power. Keigo couldn't help but praise it.
Higashino continued: "The new novel is like this, a high school student, he has the power to simply completely deny a person, that is, kill the other person, and the reason why he can do this is because he picked up a strange book called, death-note. ”
"Oh, Death Note, that sounds great!" said Keigo's face was full of excitement.
And Higashino Qiang looked at him and smiled: "The actor might as well be called Night God Moon, as for, by the way, there still needs to be a god of death, I want to call him, Sulfur, how about you play it?"
"Hah! Is it still the method of "Dragon Sakura"? Not bad, not bad. "Mr. Keigo is pleased.
But then ...
"It's better to feel less like Sulfur, it's better to be longer, Sulfur Ingola Pierce. How?"
"Wow! What a foreign name, saikyo, you're so good at naming names!
Mr. Keigo agreed at the time, and he called it that name.
It's just that...
Ingura Pierce (died from melon peels).
Uh-huh, it's really foreign enough...
