In August, the whole of Japan is in a state of high temperatures, not to mention Tokyo, which is already very hot.

It's just that what's hotter than the weather is a few topics at the moment.

The topic of his Chinese art world is centered on Mr. Ghost Go.

"'The Wandering Blade' is definitely a work of conscience! It is the conscience of Japan!"

"I hope that more people, especially those judges, the officials and masters of Xiaguan, they should see this! Your evil laws will drive good people to a dead end!"

"The role of Changfeng Shigeki, I felt pain in my heart when I saw it, what kind of mood did this father bear to embark on the road of revenge. ”

"In fact, the most terrifying thing is, in the real world, will there be a situation as described in it?"

"Yes! Quite possibly! If such an incident happens, then no one is to blame!"

"New Entrant: The Wandering Blade" was very popular as soon as it was released, and everyone can naturally understand what is written in this one.

That's exactly what is happening in Japan right now.

So, the discussion was so lively that it was unprecedented.

The sales volume of the book continues to break new records.

In a short period of time, it has exceeded 500,000 copies.

It's a completely phenomenal performance.

In this way, everyone's voices naturally played a role in promoting the cases of Miyazaki and Kobayashi Kaoru.

This time, there is no need for Mr. Kigo to call for it, and it is said that the letter mailing system of Kasumigaseki is about to explode.

And don't forget, the film adapted from Mr. Kigo's work "White Night Walking" was also shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival.

Higashino Qiang and Morita Yoshimitsu were shortlisted for Best Screenplay.

The name Higashino Qiang, who he is, everyone knows how much in their hearts.

This phenomenon has further stimulated the hot sales of Mr. Ghosto's works, and many old books are constantly being reprinted.

Many people seem to remember that Mr. Kigo once said that he wanted to be the best-selling home in Japan.

With this development, this goal is not difficult at all.

Then a piece of news couldn't be hidden.

"Japan Post is on strike!"

"The Japan Post employees in Kasumigaseki can't hold it in the first place!"

"The wages are small, and there are more letters to deal with. ”

Well, the big event, the hard-working, super-resilient Japanese, all went on strike.

It seems to have something to do with Onigo-sensei, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.

However, in this way, people are more concerned about the issue of postal services.

Can the reform plan proposed by the previous prime minister be passed by the Diet?

Many people began to come out and wave their flags and shout.

"Japan Post must be reformed!"

"If we don't reform, there will be more strikes in the future!"

"Support Mr. Prime Minister's reform plan!"

Quite a few articles, and some people talk about it on TV shows.

It's all about building momentum.

It should be said that these guys are very good at finding angles, and they even took advantage of the incident of the strike of postal employees.

However, some people are still stubborn.

"Mr. Prime Minister's reform plan will make the Japan Post extinct! In the future, the Japanese will no longer be able to send letters! If we look at the situation in other countries, we will understand that after the private sector, the unprofitable industries will disappear completely! Then, the last romance in Japan will be gone! The postcards and other letters in the future will tell everyone about Sayunala!"

Of course, the person who made the strong statement was an important person, Ishihara.

The old man would not give up on this matter.

Some people may not understand, that is, isn't Ishihara and the current prime minister also the same party?

Even both of them served in the Takeshita cabinet.

Colleague.

But in reality, it's not that simple.

......

By August 20th, the whole of Japan was in chaos from outside Tokyo.

Higashino Qiang, who had just returned from Hokkaido, was going to take a train to Tokyo and then fly from the airport to Venice, Italy.

He came back alone, as for Masami's wife and Yui's wife.

Maybe I'm a little tired from the journey, so I won't follow it this time.

It's all my wife, it's no different.

In line with the principle of a bowl of water, Dongye Qiang is evenly wetted with rain and dew.

It doesn't matter if the journey becomes a person.

There was no Shinkansen in Hokkaido, and there weren't many passengers on the train, so Mr. Keigo couldn't help it.

"Saikyo, it's okay to have a chaotic political situation in Japan right now. ”

"Mr. Keigo, what do you want to say?"

Higashino had no choice but to take out his mobile phone, he didn't want to be taken for a crazy person.

"Hehe, what do I want to say, don't you know? That old thief Ishihara, his downfall, I'm afraid it has something to do with this postal reform. ”

Mr. Keigo sat across from Higashino Qiang, no way, there was really no one.

Higashino Qiang had no choice but to laugh and said: "At present, it is probably related, and I don't dare to say too much, after all, I don't know much about the truth." I can only make a rough guess, Ishihara's old thief should represent the most stubborn faction, this faction and the current prime minister are not all the way at all, although everyone is ostensibly mixed in the same party, but there is obviously a conflict of interest, so, for this matter, it should be Ishihara's guy first, so that he was hit quite hard, and after that, ......"

"Wow, yes, yes, although you said that you wouldn't get involved in politics, it seems that you are very good at these things. ”

"Mr. Keigo, the political struggle is nothing more than power, and the emphasis is on balance, and if I can write something like that, of course, I can see one or two. ”

That's what it means to be "D,N".

Of course Mr. Keigo understood, and he then laughed, "So, someone supported Watanabe-sensei to get rid of that guy Ishihara?"

"That's probably how it should be. Higashino Qiang nodded, "Of course, from the current point of view, the previous things have been explained, but at that time, I'm afraid it was difficult to see clearly." ”

Higashino Qiang actually took advantage of him being a traverser.

Mr. Keigo asked again, "Saikyo, do you think ours will work?"

Higashino Qiang understands very well that what Mr. Keigo is talking about is 'the power of literature', and this topic, Higashino Qiang answered with a rather strange word.

"I admire Mr. Lu Xun very much, but I really don't want to be a Japanese Lu Xun. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Keigo laughed.

It seems that it is still the same sentence.

I just want to make money!

Higashino didn't tell Mr. Keigo about the JPG, so he had to continue, "In fact, we can further analyze that the reform of the Japan Post is not as simple as it seems on the surface, Mr. Keigo, you may not know it, that is, this prime minister used to be the Minister of Post. ”

When Mr. Keigo heard this, he immediately stopped smiling, "Wow! I see! I understand everything! He has to come up with a reform plan, and this reform is already very difficult, and postal reform is a problem in all countries in the world, so it is definitely a very good opportunity to attack, and many people are afraid that they have seen it for a long time."

Ishihara's old thief may be only one aspect of the force, there must be something else.

But even these, at present, it is really a wonderful political wrestling. ”

is worthy of a reasoner, and this analysis is still very reliable.

You know, Higashino Qiang and Mr. Keigo are both figures who stay away from politics, and they don't even want to participate, so they naturally don't know much information, and it is already very powerful to be able to reason to this extent.

Higashino continued: "Japan will enter a long period of instability. ”

When Mr. Keigo heard this, he immediately understood that this was not speculation at all, "Saikyo, you can tell me about it." ”

What can be said?

Higashino Qiang shook his head and smiled, anyway, this place can't be said.

In fact, it is obvious that the figures who play politics are elite-level, let's talk about the current prime minister.

Higashino Qiang himself knew his fate, and at present, it is obvious that it should be because of this postal reform incident, which led to his downfall, and the later one, Sanchan, his first period was the same as many people later, it was not stable, but after the second entered the palace, it was much more stable.

In other words, the current one has not looked away, but the current situation in Japan is indeed very bad.

Higashino Qiang and Mr. Keigo are one person and one ghost, and they have done such an analysis, which can be said to be quite thorough.

So...

"What should Kigo-sensei do in such a situation?" Mr. Keigo asked the question, which was what he wanted.

Higashino laughed.

Mr. Keigo simply replied, "You still want to make money!"

Higashino Qiang had no choice but to spread his hands and said, "Why not? Besides, the articles I wrote can be regarded as conscience, and they also send out the voice of justice, which is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of readers, and worthy of myself. I also believe that many readers will enjoy it not only in Japan but also in China.

It can not only make money, but also show the power of literature.

What's so bad about that?"

These words made Mr. Keigo think for a long time.

Maybe it's not a big reason, but it can't be said that it doesn't make sense.

Perhaps, this is what home is like.

Especially in the home of Japanese writing, what else can it be?

Mr. Onigo's work has already had a considerable influence, and now it's not showing its strength.

However, Mr. Keigo still couldn't help it, as if jokingly said: "You kid, you already have a pair of wings, you work so hard to make money, you must want to give the two of them a better life, right?"

Higashino forced his mouth, "What wings, it's all my wife, wife, understand?"

"Haha......" Keigo couldn't help but laugh.

If he can tell others that Ghost Go-sensei writes so diligently and publishes several books a year, in order to have a better life for Masami and Yui, this is the reason...... There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.

Higashino Qiang is very clear in his heart.

Masami is my wife, and Yui is also my wife.

Well, that's it.

I didn't say anything all the way, and when I arrived at the airport, I met Yoshimitsu Morita and others who were already waiting.

"Teacher, you've cleared it. ”

"Oh, I'm worried about Director Morita. ”

This was cleared, and when Higashino Qiang heard it, his face was a little red.

Yoshimitsu Morita burst out laughing.

This guy can make a movie like "Paradise Lost", and he is estimated to be an old driver.

Higashino didn't say much to him, so he greeted the others.

I was very surprised to see Zhang Ziyi.

"Hello Miss Zhang, I still want to thank Miss Zhang this time. ”

"Oh, Higashino-sensei, why are you thanking me?"

"To be shortlisted for Venice, Miss Zhang should have played a big role. ”

"Ha, you're a good person, no wonder so many people like you. ”

What Higashino Qiang said was very sincere, because he understood that "White Night Walking" could be shortlisted for Venice, of course, there was a big reason for Morita Yoshimitsu, but there was also a considerable part of the reason, that is, Zhang Ziyi.

Because, Zhang Ziyi's name as an international star at this time is really not given for nothing, especially the Venice Film Festival, this film festival has invited Zhang Ziyi to be a judge many times, and he was invited last year, but Zhang Ziyi was delayed.

Even, Higashino Qiang still remembers such news, that is, next year, in 2006, when "Night Banquet", Zhang Ziyi came to Venice and received a very high-standard reception, and even some judges knelt down directly and treated her as a queen.

Higashino didn't say anything extra, but he had to be thankful for it.

But at this time.

"Higashino-kun, your trip must have been wonderful. "The appearance of Yu Aoi is too normal, but her words seem to have something in her words.

Fortunately, his face was a little red before, and now he can hide the past, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

This answer drew laughter from Yu Aoi.

I don't know what this smile means, did she see through something?

Morita Yoshimitsu smiled on the side: "It seems that it should be boarding, come, let's go through the formalities." ”

"Good. Higashino replied.

The main creator of the movie "White Night Walking" set off to the boarding passage.

With the blessing of Masami and Yui, Higashino Qiang flew to Venice.

On this day, a piece of news came in the evening that shook the whole of Japan.

Japan Post Reform Bill, Negative!
