Night, Roppongi.

Higashino Qiang was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, but at this time, he had an extra phone in his hand.

"saikyo! You're too ruthless, aren't you?"

"Oh, Mr. Keigo, what are you talking about?"

"You don't know what I'm talking about? You kid! Hahaha......"

"Ahem, what do I know?"

"Saikyo! stop being hard-mouthed, your heart is going to bloom. ”

"Mr. Keigo, I really don't know what you're talking about. ”

"You guy, even your phone is ready, aren't you waiting for anything?"

"Oh?" Higashino smiled like a fox at this time, "Then what do you say I'm waiting for?"

When Mr. Keigo heard this, he really laughed, "Saikyo, you, haha...... Or is this the kind of character that has to wait for the real result to come out and be foolproof before celebrating the victory, right?"

When he said this, Higashino Qiang couldn't help blushing.

Mr. Keigo had the advantage this time, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of the victory and continue to speak: "Saikyo, in fact, you have been completely sure before, right? Hahaha, Watanabe-sensei just wants to use you and "White Night Walking" this time to launch an offensive against that old guy Ishihara. ”

Higashino had no choice but to return the sentence lightly, "No one likes to be used as a pawn." ”

"That's right!" Mr. Keigo clapped his hands, "Of course no one likes to be used as a pawn, no one likes to use it, and besides, you kid has already said that you want to use it in reverse, so ......"

"I just jumped at the chance. Higashino had a modest expression that couldn't be contained.

Mr. Keigo complained directly, "You guy, it's very bad!"

It is already clear that Higashino Qiang is waiting for this opportunity, that is, when Junichi Watanabe and others launch a general attack on the old thief Ishihara, he can use it in turn.

In this way, the chess pieces can become standard-bearers!

As for the reason, it's also very simple, with the current state of the Japan Literature Promotion Association, Ishihara is in power, and he is still a tough political figure, such a guy is too strong.

Jun Watanabe has a big voice, but in terms of strength alone, he is not Ishihara's opponent at all.

Even if there are other forces to support him, it will not be enough.

Well, the real offensive can only be one.

Use public opinion to crusade against Ishihara.

Ishihara's advantage is politics, but when faced with public opinion crusades, this identity is a disadvantage.

It can be said that Junichi Watanabe's plan is still very powerful.

However, when a general offensive is really launched, that is, when public opinion is used, then a situation will arise.

Let Naoki Award, the highest award in the Japanese literary world, also be attacked at the same time.

That's Higashino's chance.

Oh no, it's Kigo-sensei's chance.

Because only in this situation can Kigo-sensei say such a thing.

I don't care about such a straight wood reward.

It's easy to say, but if he had said it before, it would have been over.

That's called being unashamed.

It's going to make other people feel disgusted!

You're a guy who pretends to be a force, well, maybe the Japanese don't have a thorough understanding of pretending.

Therefore, it can only be said at this time.

At this time, not only does it not make people offensive.

On the contrary, it will make everyone more supportive of Mr. Uigo.

This is also why, after seeing this situation, Higashino Qiang immediately called Hisagi.

And now, he's still waiting for a call.

So, what is it waiting for?

Bell!

The phone called, and sure enough, it came.

"Teacher, Editor-in-Chief Sano is calling, and there will be a big change in the Literature Promotion Association!"

"Oh, it's Ishihara who resigned. ”

"Teacher!bino!"

The call was made by Hisagi, and after hearing this.

Kami Sama!

Sure enough, everything was exactly what you expected!

And immediately after.

"It should be Watanabe-sensei who took over Ishihara's position, and "White Night Walking" ......"

When Hisagi heard this, his heart raced.

"I'm sure I won't be able to get this Naoki Award, right? ”

When these words came into his ears, Hiagi's eyes straightened.

"Teacher!

It's amazing!

Kami Sama!

Hisagi's worship of Higashino Qiang at this moment has reached an unparalleled level, and I'm afraid only a god can guess so accurately.

But in fact, from Higashino's side, these things are predictable.

"It's okay, I've already said this result on TV, so be it. ”

"Teacher, don't you ......?"

"There's no need, this time Naoki Reward, it's already okay here. ”

"Hello!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone, and Hisagi didn't want to disturb Mr. Kigo's rest.

In fact, where can Mr. Onigo rest?

Hehe......

Higashino Qiang couldn't help but laugh when he faced the night view of Tokyo at this time.

Ishihara, you old thief, you really deserve it!

Mr. Keigo was a little surprised, because according to what he imagined, he should have achieved greater results this time, that is, Naoki should also give "White Night Walking".

"Saikyo, why? Why didn't you get the Naoki prize?"

After hearing this, Higashino Qiang stopped laughing, but he couldn't hide the happy look on his face, and said, "Mr. Keigo, you still don't know much about politics. ”

Don't understand politics?

Mr. Keigo scratched his head, he died a little early, and besides, he was a reasoner, and he was really not very proficient in politics.

Higashino smiled, "I don't know much about politics either, but I've seen too many of these things." Mr. Keigo, Ishihara, the old thief, resigned, can he be so willing? According to the standards of politicians, he must make some exchange of interests, and my estimation is that his resignation should be replaced by "White Night Walking" and not being able to get the Naoki award. ”

Mr. Keigo was a little puzzled, "Why? That old family is gone, or he is leaving, why does he have to do this?"

In the eyes of this ghost, it is indeed very strange.

But Higashino Qiang said: "It's very simple, you have to understand, why did Ishihara step down? Because now that there is such a trouble, Naoki has a reputation problem, although there have been several small situations before, such as our "Secret", as well as "Snake Tongue" and "The Back of the Underkicked". ”

When Mr. Keigo heard this, he basically understood.

The previous works can be said to be the pearls of Naoki's appreciation, which did not win a big award, but achieved great success in sales.

It's not wrong to say that he hit Naoki in the face.

But that's not a big deal.

The current situation is really too serious, an award that has been awarded for more than a hundred issues, and there is such a serious reputational problem during your tenure in Ishihara.

Ishihara is to blame.

From a political point of view, the position of president of the Literature Promotion Association is already Ishihara's negative equity, and of course he wants to abandon it, but if this negative asset is rashly abandoned, I am afraid that there will be trouble. Therefore, Ishihara should have resigned himself in exchange for something, which was the right choice.

You know, he can actually be shameless and continue to stay in office, anyway, others can't do anything about him, this literary promotion association is originally a public welfare organization, which belongs to the government.

So, that's what the trading stuff is. "White Night Walking" did not win the award this time, so at least one thing can be proved, and he Ishihara is not the main reason for the current Naoki farce. ”

At this point, Mr. Keigo really got it all right.

"This old bastard! So smart! No one can take advantage of this anymore. ”

Higashino Qiang smiled and nodded, "That's right, so, I had this judgment early on, and Mr. Watanabe would have agreed, he is not young, if he doesn't agree this time, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future." ”

Mr. Keigo complained, "Then you guessed so accurately, why are you waiting for Hiagi's call?"

What else can Higashino Qiang say?

"Mr. Keigo, after all, there are many things that will cause accidents, how can I be so sure, in case Ishihara, this old guy is thick-skinned enough, and he has to keep occupying the position of the president of the Literature Promotion Association, what can I do?"

That's right, there is a possibility of accidents.

However, when I think about it, I don't think about it.

At this time, Higashino Qiang thought of the year he had crossed over.

In 2019, in the first half of the year, we were still celebrating the peerless good signing, praising the koi for its might, and ridiculing so-and-so for playing like XXX.

Who would have thought that in the second half of the year, there would be a 'disaster of the Qimu Kumbo'.

Mr. Keigo couldn't complain if he wanted to, but he still felt a little pity.

"I'm not reconciled, the opportunity for "White Night Walking" this time is obviously very good. ”

"Mr. Keigo, although he didn't win the award, he also got rid of an old bastard, which is definitely a success. ”

"Still unwilling. ”

"Hey, this film was in the original time and space, that is, when you wrote it, you didn't win any awards. ”

"This ...... What about after that? Watanabe-sensei is on stage, and we Kigo-sensei should get Naoki's reward right away, right?"

"Mr. Keigo, I don't dare to say that. ”

"Huh?"

Mr. Keigo couldn't help but lose his child's temper, but he knew that what Higashino Qiang said was very reasonable.

And Higashino Qiang is really happy that the old thief has finally been killed.

However, he is also sober and knows that Watanabe-sensei is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Mr. Keigo, let's keep writing. ”

"Good!"

It's a long road, so there's no need to rush.

"New Participants: Hakone Ekiden" is starting again.

Higashino Qiang's pen, Kyoichiro Kaga, running briskly in the mountains of Hakone...
