Roppongi.

Higashino Qiang, who had just won the promotion award, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his apartment at this time.

It was late at night.

Daiichi Tokyo Hotel is not far from here, less than two kilometers away.

But for safety, Hisagi drove a long detour and almost missed Hachioji City.

Don't blame him, the current situation is indeed too hot.

Kigo-sensei is the same as Tokyo, it's hot.

In the final analysis, the promotion of the award is not a big prize.

But this time, there's a lot of news.

Before, many people were worried that Ghost Go-sensei would not be rewarded.

Fortunately, Mr. Kigo finally won the award, but immediately after that, there was a request from Kenzo Kita.

After that, it was the well-known members of the Mystery Writers Association who came out to speak.

It's basically a central idea.

Mr. Ghost Go's "White Night Walking", such an excellent work should be appreciated.

Among them, Chixing Zhou, Kyogoku Natsuhiko, Miyuki Miyabe, Kaoru Kitamura and others are naturally not a problem.

But there are also Atoda Taka, Gogi Kanyuki, and even those Ishihara faction figures, all of whom have said good things.

To tell the truth, those who know the inside story will be extremely surprised by this situation.

The promotion of the co-award itself is not a very big award, after all, the prize money for this award is only 500,000 yen.

Compared to the Ranbu Reward, this bonus is much smaller.

But the current situation is really fun.

Big guys like Atoda Takaka and Gogi Kanyuki wanted to cover the sky with one hand, but they were finally broken through by Mr. Ghost Go.

Before he was bold and outspoken on TV, he was not blocked by those stubborn officials.

The difficulty of this award is definitely far more than the superficial 500,000 yen.

Even Higashino Qiang himself wanted to shout, Kakuichi!

It's a pity that even now, he has to restrain himself a little.

No one knows, not even pear blossom sauce and toast sauce.

At this time, Higashino Qiang's side, who was also looking at the night view of Tokyo, also had a ghost.

Mr. Keigo!

"saikyo! You know what? This award reminds me of a movie!"

"Oh?" Higashino Qiang was really weird.

Mr. Keigo said with great emotion, "Have you seen Mr. Kurosawa's "Heart Stick"?"

"Oh? Not really. Higashino Qiang didn't tell a lie, after all, he had heard of this kind of old movie, but if he really wanted to say that he had seen it, he really hadn't seen it, and it was difficult to have this opportunity.

It must be said that there are many video rental stores in Japan, and there are definitely classic movies by Mr. Kurosawa, but in the middle of a curtain, it is the action blockbuster of the teachers.

In general...... Ahem, I haven't rented it before.

From this point of view, Japan's sense of service is really strong, at least it won't be embarrassing when picking films.

Higashino was a little distracted, but Mr. Keigo continued.

"The most exciting part of the movie "Heart Stick" is the final battle. Thirty Lang, he faced more than a dozen people alone, from the first appearance, to the battle on both sides, the use of the camera was very good, the whole foreshadowing, up to ten minutes, and the long knife came out, killing the villain, about ten seconds, it was really exciting, and the people who watched it were enthusiastic!

In the end, Unosuke took out his pistol despicably, but he was still beheaded by Thirty Lang!

Saikyo, you should understand, right?"

Mr. Keigo, this guy is unfathomable at this time.

Higashino Qiang couldn't help laughing, he really hadn't watched "Heart Stick", but he could roughly guess that Thirty Lang should be Toshiro Mifune, the famous Japanese actor, who is the queen of the great director Akira Kurosawa.

And that Unosuke, if he guessed correctly, should be Tatsuya Nakadai, who later starred in "Shadow Samurai" and is also the queen actor of Akira Kurosawa.

In other words, Kurosawa's films are really outstanding, and its use of lenses is far beyond that era.

Later, the influence on Chinese films was also great, and many big domestic directors were fans of Akira Kurosawa.

Zhang Guoshi, needless to say, even if it is Xing Ye.

The spring thirty niang in "Journey to the West" is known to many people. But in fact, Toshiro Mifune starred in a movie, "Tsubaki Thirty Lang".

Therefore, the name of Thirty Lang, Higashino Qiang can guess it at once.

But what do you mean by Mr. Keigo's words?

"Mr. Keigo, I didn't make such a far layout, and I'm not a god, when I first wrote "Rebellion", I really didn't think that I could contact Sister Quanshui. ”

Higashino Qiang: This is definitely the truth.

Moreover, he did understand what Mr. Keigo meant.

This ghost is asking him if you have been preparing for this for a long time.

"Impossible!" said Mr. Keigo, looking incredulous.

In his opinion, Higashino Qiang is too powerful this time, and his means of playing are too good.

"White Night Walking" can get the promotion award, as far as the work is concerned, there is no problem.

It's not that Yusuke Kishi's work is bad, but the book "Hammer of Glass" is a very good ontological reasoning and whimsy.

But "White Night Walking" is definitely not bad, and whoever is rewarded has enough reasons.

And before, there were all kinds of interference from the two bigwigs, as well as all kinds of changes in the whole thing, and the chances of winning "White Night Walking" were already very low.

However, Higashino Qiang had judged before that he must have won.

Why?

It must be something you kid did!

Now, you still don't admit it?

Higashino Qiang had no choice but to continue: "Mr. Keigo, I told you that it exceeded expectations, right?"

"That's right. ”

"Actually, it's like this, I originally arranged for Senior Ruyue to go undercover, hoping that he can play a role at the critical moment, but the information I got didn't do anything. Chi Xing Zhou took action on his own, which I didn't expect. ”

"Huh, is that really the case?"

"Of course, in addition, how could I have expected it before the incident with Sister Quanshui? You know, I didn't have much to do to help her, but then I thought of the little milk cats that Little Pear Blossom and Little Toast had born. ”

"Huh?"

Speaking of this, it seems that the two masters heard the call and came to the feet of Higashino Qiang, grinding.

This scene made Mr. Keigo can't help but squat down and get the cat, but unfortunately, he doesn't feel anything.

And Higashino Qiang saw it, and couldn't help but complain, "Hey, you guy eat less." ”

Well, the toast sauce is now like a ball.

But to be honest, Higashino Qiang also understands it a little, he has already married a wife and had children, and he has been castrated, and there is nothing to do in life, and he eats things every day.

It's completely greasy middle-aged.

Toast-chan didn't know it, and smiled at Higashino Qiang.

Higashino couldn't help but hug it, this ...... There is a sense of fitness.

"Saikyo! Don't run away from the topic!" Mr. Keigo noticed.

Higashino had no choice but to return to the recliner, "I didn't run away." ”

In fact, the two are already in a state of technical summary.

Mr. Keigo couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you write the second volume of "Rebellion" like this? You should be able to imagine that writing like this would cause a lot of controversy, and it would be difficult for the Japanese to accept it like this, is it just because you hate India?"

Higashino Qiang rubbed the thick neck of the toast sauce twice, and it felt good.

Mr. Keigo then reprimanded, "You don't really want to do what you want to do, do you?"

This time, Higashino Qiang smiled, "Mr. Keigo, actually, the reason why I wrote this way is not complicated. ”

"What the hell is it?" Mr. Keigo knew the answer he wanted was coming out.

So far, all the mysteries have actually been solved by him, and this is the only one, which he believes is definitely not that simple.

What is it exactly?

Higashino Qiang just said calmly: "China is my motherland, although I have lived in Japan in my life, I can't hack my motherland." ”

That's why.

It was that simple.

When Mr. Keigo heard this, his heart was shaken.

"saikyo ......" said a word, but I don't know how to say it below.

Higashino Qiang's heart is actually sorry.

I'm sorry for the war in Japan, but I'm sorry that my efforts have been ruined.

Higashino Qiang thought about it, and there were some words he really couldn't help it.

"Mr. Keigo, I have seen and felt with my own eyes in my last life, my motherland is booming, and my life as an ordinary person is constantly changing and gradually improving.

How can I not be grateful for all this experience?

I really can't do that, I can't write that kind of article that distorts the facts. ”

Mr. Keigo was also infected, "Saikyo, then, when did China surpass Japan?"

"Soon, maybe in terms of per capita, it was still a lot, but overall, it was surpassed in a few years. ”

Mr. Keigo listened and was silent for a while.

The ghost thought about it a lot, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

The eyes are constantly changing, there is envy, admiration, and unwillingness.

Fortunately, he found another topic: "Sakai Spring, what should I do? Or, are you too ruthless? That company is probably going to be finished." ”

Higashino Qiang couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, "Mr. Keigo, do you think that incident with Sister Izumi is the news I spread?"

"Huh, isn't it?" said Mr. Keigo, surprised.

"Greed. Higashino Qiang said with a smile, and then, "My suggestion to that Mr. Nagato was to let Sister Quanshui go to Chinese mainland for medical treatment, and it was really normal for him to promise at that time, after all, I know some truth, but what about waiting for Chinese mainland?"

"You ......" Mr. Keigo looked at Higashino Qiang, who was inexplicably a little scared.

This kid sees people's hearts too thoroughly!

Yes, Chinese mainland is simply a new market.

Sakai Izumi has fans there, so what will he do with a guy like Nagato who sees money and has an eye for money?

"Then the company will definitely get worse!Saikyo, you expected this early on, so there will definitely be people who can't stand it and then break the news!" Mr. Keigo felt a sense of justice at this time, "That's right, saikyo, then...... What happened after the death of Sakai Izumi......"

When Higashino Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry, "That company, just using a deceased person, has been making money, and even its own newly launched singer can't surpass Sister Quanshui, so it's been ...... all the time."

Mr. Keigo was even more furious, "What a bastard!Saikyo, it's right to kill such a bastard company!"

Who said before that he was too ruthless?

Higashino Qiang certainly will not correct Mr. Keigo, the current situation.

Push the co-reward to get it, "Rebellion" is a hit, and Sister Quanshui's matter has been exposed, which is definitely a good thing for her.

It can be said that it is already very good to be able to do this.

Can it be any better?

However, there are still many thorns in the road ahead.

Higashino Qiang told him about his plan, and Mr. Keigo was full of praise when he heard it.

Of course, taking Sister Quanshui to complete such a journey is just wishful thinking on the part of Higashino Qiang.

But in any case, it has come to this point, and it can only continue.

The next thing I was going to write was at this time.

"Higashino-sensei, let's celebrate. ”

"Director Morita?"

It's strange, oh, it's not surprising, "White Night Walking" won the award, and of course Yoshimitsu Morita was happy.

He called, and it was normal.

"It's so late, forget it. ”

"Then I won't bother today. ”

Something seems strange.

What made Higashino even more unexpected was that.

"Higashino-kun, first of all, congratulations to Mr. Onigo for winning the award, I, I also want to thank Higashino-kun, that, let's celebrate, okay?"

"Ahh......h Haruka-chan, it's too late today. ”

"Well, well. ”

"I'm sorry, it's too late, you're a girl......"

It turned out to be Haruka Ayase.

This... Why?

Oh yes, she's the heroine of the TV drama version.

But then, it's even weirder.

"How about celebrating?"

"This ......"

Higashino Qiang really didn't expect that it was Yu Aoi who called.

What an accident.

However, it was still pushed off on the grounds that it was too late.

But then......

"Sai-chan, celebrate, okay?"

Masami?

"Good, good. ”

Higashino Qiang's performance can only be described by the word real.

Available right away.

"Ernie sauce, celebrate, let's go up. ”

Two passionate female neighbors?

"Okay. ”

Mr. Keigo was on the side, and he didn't hesitate to talk about him.

However, Higashino Qiang never expected it.

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

When someone came, he opened the door.

"Higashino-kun!"

"Master!"

"Higashino-sensei!"

"Let's drink together!"

"You ......"

"We're not celebrating!

"This ......"

Masami, Yui, naturally came, but there were also Morita Yoshimitsu, Aoi Yu, Haruka Ayase, Rika Toda, and even Yojiro Takida, who hadn't called before, came.

He even held two bottles of wine.

It's really weird, but what can Higashino say?

Then rejoice!

PS: The third update was sent, the black car apologized, and it was not too early. However, when I saw the reward, I am sincerely grateful to the Dragon Seven people, who are old friends of the black car, and the black car is sincerely grateful! There is a power to come up, and the black car will definitely be updated tomorrow! Thank you very much!
