"Si Guoyi. ”

Hisagi, who had just gotten off the plane, couldn't help but sigh like this.

It's June, and Tokyo is heating up.

However, compared to Okinawa in the south, it is really a drop in the bucket.

As soon as you leave the airport gate, you can feel the heat rolling in.

However, the blue sea and blue sky, the clouds are clear, and the palm trees are accompanied by seagulls.

Come to think of it, it should be worth the trip.

Airfares and accommodation can be reimbursed.

This can totally be counted as a tour.

The editor-in-chief was stimulated by the weekly magazine, and all the benefits were given.

But when he thought of the editor-in-chief's attentive and vicious eyes, Hiagi decided to get down to business first.

I've called before, and it's a woman who answers, and it's a little weird, just saying 'he's there'.

No matter, call a taxi.

"Go to the Higashino grocery store in Osato Village. ”

Getting into a taxi, Hiagi told him where he was going.

"Huh?" the taxi driver had a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Hiagi was a little curious.

The taxi driver had no choice but to smile and say, "Dali Village is too poor, I'm afraid of neglecting you." ”

When Hiagi heard this, he felt very comfortable.

Okinawa relies on tourism, and it is indeed good that taxi drivers can think of tourists like this.

But what Hiagi didn't know was that the taxi driver was trying to say that the grocery store was a bit powerful.

The car started, and the driver didn't say much.

It's not within the scope of Naha City, but it's coming soon.

"This is it. The editor looked at the words written on the sign, all of which were Chinese characters, and he understood it.

The official writing standard of RB is a mixture of kanji and kana.

There was a time when an important figure in today's literary world called for the use of pseudonyms more.

However, now it seems that there are more and more Chinese characters.

Forget it, don't think about it, it's important to get down to business.

When Hiagi walked into the grocery store, he saw a small shop with a wide variety of goods.

There is also a middle-aged man with gray hair, who is supposed to be the owner of the shop.

"Hello gentleman, what do you need?" said the shopkeeper with a smile on his face

Hisagi knew that the other party was thinking of himself as a tourist who wanted to buy something, but his suit, which was more formal, should help him explain his intentions.

So, he smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Masaki Hisagi, I am from Tokyo, I am the editor of the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House, I ......"

Hiagi thought well, but before he could finish introducing himself, he was interrupted.

"What editor? What publishing house? What are you going to do? I'm just a grocery store here! I'm not welcome to you! Please get out!"

"Huh?"

Hiagi was shocked, he really didn't expect that the shopkeeper in front of him would be so angry.

Didn't you have a good attitude just now, did you say the wrong thing?

"Why? Can't you hear what I'm saying?"

Hiagi didn't expect that the other party would come directly to do something to him.

What's going on?

But at this time, a wife appeared on the second floor of the grocery store.

"Husband!"

Hisagi knew that he was saved, and listening to the voice, he should be the one who answered the phone.

"Husband, what are you doing? How can you treat guests like this!"

"Wife, you, don't care. ”

"I heard it all! This gentleman is from Tokyo, anyway, people come all the way here, you can't do that!"

"I, I ......"

The couple didn't have much of an argument, so the lady came down and went to Hisagi.

"I'm sorry, my husband went too far just now. Hello, welcome to our Higashino house, please come upstairs with me. ”

This lady feels very kind, and Hiagi even thinks that the author of the novel is this wife.

But upstairs?

What's going on?

There are a lot of mysteries in the heart of the editor Hirogi right now, but he can only follow them.

All the way to a room.

Normal, six-and-a-half-tatami mat room.

Mrs. Higashino said, "Please wait here, Mr. Editor, he should be back soon." ”

There was 'he' again.

Who is this 'he'?

Hisaki didn't have much to say, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Mrs. Higashino, my name is Masaki Hisagi, and I'm the editor of Literary Spring and Autumn." ”

Mrs. Higashino smiled and said, "Tell him this." ”

With that, Mrs. Higashino poured a glass of water for Hisagi and withdrew.

Edit Hiagi was still confused, so he had to observe the room.

This should be a boy's room, and it's not messy, but it's not neat.

And......

There are books.

The most stuff in this room is books.

There were stacks of them, and they looked like there were more than a hundred copies.

The book has something to do with Hirogi, and out of professional sensitivity, Hisagi couldn't help but come over and take a look.

"Wow, it's all mystery novels. ”

Hisaki quickly recognized the characteristics of these books, and even many of them were published by Wenyi Chunqiu, and there were even books that he had ever used.

It's interesting.

Flipping through it, Hiagi found a detail.

"These books have been carefully read......"

There is naturally a big difference between a new book and an old one, whether you have read it or not.

As an editor, Hisagi could of course see that these books should have not been bought for a long time, but some of the papers were wrinkled.

Obviously, it was baptized by water stains.

I'm afraid I'm too fascinated by reading books.

Hiagi wanted to take another look, but at this time, someone came in.

"Hello, it's Mr. Hisagi of the Literary Spring and Autumn Period. ”

"You ......"

Hisaki turned around and found that the other party was a middle school student.

It's still a child, but it's not short anymore, and it's even taller than the adult Hiagi.

This kid is supposed to be the owner of this room.

Originally, I was holding a schoolbag, but I thought it should have just gotten out of school, and then I put the schoolbag at random and walked closer.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Higashino Strongest, and I wrote the novel "After School". ”

After hearing this, Hiagi's face was full of disbelief, "You, you're still a middle school student, right?"

Higashino nodded, "That's right. Mr. Kugi, please be seated. ”

Hisagi's face was still full of doubts, but out of politeness, he sat down face-to-face with Higashino Qiang, a junior high school student.

This is the advantage of this tatami mat, which eliminates the need for stools.

Higashino Qiang naturally sat cross-legged, while Hisashi sat on his knees.

At this time, Higashino Qiang's face was full of ancient wells, which was his best Buddhist expression.

But he is like a mirror in his heart, where is the editor in front of him, it is simply a big fish that has been hooked.

I think I'm Dongye Qiang in my last life, how to say that I also studied at the Chinese Broken Chapter Academy (), although the grades are not outstanding, but a big move can be thrown out, which is not enough for you, the editor of RB traditional literature, to drink a pot, hehe......

I was so proud in my heart that I almost couldn't hold it back, but fortunately, Hisaki was in a hurry.

"That ......" Hiagi wanted to speak, but he didn't know that Higashino Qiang made another move.

"Don't worry. Higashino pulled out two stacks of manuscript paper from his room and placed them in front of him, in front of Hisagi's eyes.

"I know Edit Hisaki won't believe it, but please take a look at these two drafts first. ”

"These two manuscripts?" Hisaki picked up with a frown, and when he saw what was written on the manuscript, his eyes widened instantly.

"After School" ending one.

...... Ending two.

Are there two endings?

"This, did you write this?"

Hisagi really can't believe it, no matter how this ends, the young man in front of him is too strong.

It's amazing to be able to write a novel like "After School" as a teenager, and now, he even told Hisagi that he had two versions of the ending, that is......

"Edit Hisagi, I'm sorry to bring you here from Tokyo, but I really have a reason to do so, so for now, please take a look at these two endings. ”

After saying this, Higashino Qiang looked at Hisaki indifferently.

Hisagi inexplicably felt that his responsibility seemed to be heavy, so he nodded very solemnly, "Then I'll start." ”

It's been a long time since I've been so serious, and when Hisagi looks at these two endings, he only feels that each chapter is as heavy as a thousand pounds.

This mood made him extremely focused, and these two endings ......

Ending 1:

Keiko Sugita was exposed by the actor Maejima's method of the secret room, and after that, Officer Otani appeared and took Keiko Sugita away for interrogation, so the truth of the case was revealed.

However, the real culprit is not Keiko Sugida.

The real culprit is actually Yoko Takahara, this girl was discovered by Murahashi and Takei because of her secret, and this secret is...... A certain night's self-entertainment.

Yoko Takahara was afraid that the two teachers would blackmail her and do evil deeds to her, and she didn't dare to tell anyone her secret, until one day, she was discovered by Keiko Sugida.

Keiko Sugita provided a secret room for this, and it was Yoko Takahara who killed the murderer.

In this way, the final ending is that the male protagonist Maejima and Keiko Sugita look at each other, but they can no longer get close.

That is, there can be no more entanglement between the two people.

Not to mention, there is also Mr. Aso.

After reading this ending, Hiagi thought for a moment.

It feels just decent, and the impact is still there, but it's not so strong.

Of course, this is entirely judged by him as the editor of countless articles, and if you are an ordinary reader, you will also feel the reversal of this ending.

The murderer who had already been identified was Keiko Sugida, but in the end it wasn't her.

Moreover, the affection between classmates ends in such a situation, just like the first love when I was a student.

First love, most of them are failures.

Teachers and students are king?

It's also a good ending.

Let's look at the second ending.

Ending 2:

"Keiko, I'm not going to tell the truth to the police. ”

With just one sentence, Hisagi was attracted.

The actor Maejima actually said this to Keiko Sugida.

That is, he hid the truth for the sake of his love.

So, what happens after that?

The actor Maejima was very interesting, and he didn't say anything more and chose to leave.

This was a very surprising move.

All Maejima thought about was to end the matter.

But how could this be the end of the matter?

The actor Maejima did not continue to pursue the matter, and he did not say anything to the police.

However, the detective Otani arrested Keiko Sugida.

Officer Otani, found the truth!

Are the police finally useful?

However, this is not the end of the story, that is, the truth is reversed again.

Yoko Takahara surrendered to the police, she is the real murderer!

Moreover, Keiko Sugida's alibi proves that she did practice archery before.

In other words, Keiko is just an accomplice who helped create the secret room.

But, at the same time as this truth came out.

"Why are you doing this!"

"I ?...... Yes...... Mr. Aso......"

Aso-sensei, wearing a white coat, stabbed Maejima to death with a scalpel!

It turned out that Aso-sensei wanted to protect Keiko Sugida, and she thought that Maejima had told the police, and in anger, she killed someone.

After knowing that this was a misunderstanding, Mr. Aso committed suicide by jumping off the building.

So, what about Keiko Sugida?

She's actually really a good person, and she just wants to help Yoko Takahara.

Eventually, Keiko Sugita transferred to another school and left the school, which was full of painful memories.

And at the very end.

"Uncle, do you want to help jiaoji? 30,000 yuan. ”

It was Masami Hojo who said this.

There is also a little tail in the end.

"Did you hear that? Actually, Murahashi and Takei were killed because they found out that the girls at that school were doing that kind of ugly thing......"

"The version I heard was that when the two teachers found out, instead of calling the police, they used this to blackmail the female students. ”

"That's too bad......"

"Who's to say it's not...... But that kind of thing, hehe, should you try it?"

"Wow, you're. ”

used to end with gossip.

Seeing this, Hiagi was already sweating profusely, and the impact of this ending was so strong that he trembled a little.

Suddenly, I remembered the last words of Keiko Sugita in the unfinished "After School".

Is that a gratitude, that is, thanks to the protagonist Maejima-san for revealing these truths?

The most interesting thing about this is that both endings are followed by this thanks.

The first ending actually reveals the inner world of minors.

Because of fear and anxiety, the act of killing people was born.

And what is even more surprising is this second ending.

This ending may not be stated, but if you think about it, you will feel it...... Terrible!

Yes, it's scary.

Maybe there was a gang in that school that helped Jiaoji, and the two teachers were behind it.

Keiko and Aso-sensei both want to protect their classmates.

This last misunderstanding is even more ...... The more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

Nothing is clear, but it seems to be made clear.

I couldn't help but raise my head and look at the boy in front of me.

In his eyes, in addition to shock, he was still shocked.

Higashino Qiang still said with a flat face: "Editor Hisagi, do you believe that there are geniuses in this world?"

The implication is that I am a genius in front of you...
