In short, domestic affairs, as long as they are not out of control, Luoyang can be at ease.

And in the next few days, Luoyang also paid attention to the news of Endoma, and the public provocation in "White Night Walking" did not seem to make the Japanese No. 1 mystery writer respond, but Luoyang was not discouraged, but found it more interesting.

"Since "White Night Walking" didn't blow you up. ”

"So when "The Devotion of Suspect X" comes out, can you still be silent?"

Previously, Endo had publicly fired at "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", and Luoyang had a not-so-good relationship, as a person who pursues a well-thought-out approach, Luoyang does not mind single-handedly killing through the Japanese literary scene where Endo is located.

......

A week later, Kadokawa Press.

Editor-in-chief Yoshino is sitting in front of a computer reviewing a manuscript.

A young male editor who was interning suddenly knocked on the door, and then entered the conference room: "Editor-in-chief, theking's new work has been sent." ”

Yoshino's expression flashed with surprise when he heard this: "How can it be so fast, I'm sure I'm not mistaken, the popularity of "White Night Walking" is booming, if his new work is not carefully polished, it is likely to be covered by the light of "White Night Walking", which will lead to ruining his popularity." ”

Generally speaking, the frequency of writers is not high, because people's energy is limited after all.

Some writers who can publish one work a month are enough to be called prolific writers.

And Luoyang has written a new work in less than half a month since the submission of "White Night Walking", and Yoshino will inevitably feel inappropriate, after all, theking's new book is related to the interests of the magazine and the personal performance of his editor-in-chief.

The male editor said: "It's indeed theking's work, and it's still long. ”

Yoshino frowned slightly: "Is it really a newcomer, I can't wait to earn the manuscript fee when I hear that the magazine has raised the price for him?"

Thinking so in his heart, he didn't say it, and after asking the male editor to put theking's new work on his desk, he continued to get busy with his work.

Time passed little by little, at eleven :20 p.m., only ten minutes before the end of work, Yoshino finally took care of the matter at hand, and after stretching, his eyes fell on Theking's new work.

"The dedication of Suspect X?"

Is this the name of theking's new work?

Yoshino felt a little weird, but it was undeniable that some other titles also attracted Yoshino's interest, and he recalled the picture of his first encounter with "White Night Walking", and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation.

Don't ask you to surpass "White Night Walking", don't be too bad all at once!

This is Yoshino's request for theking's new work, because over the years of publishing, Yoshino has seen too many unbeatable glories and finally become short-lived.

So even if theking's work after "White Night Walking" is reduced to mediocrity, Yoshino will not be surprised in the slightest, because this is the norm in the industry, the first book of the newcomer is popular, the second book is unknown, and then it never gets up......

"Watch it for ten minutes first, just after work. ”

Turning the title page, Yoshino looked at the work called "The Devotion of Suspect X".

[At 7:35 a.m., Ishigami leaves the apartment as usual.

Even though it was March, the wind was still quite cold, and he buried his chin in his scarf and stepped out. Before stepping onto the road, he glanced at the bicycle parking lot. There were a few cars there, but none of the green bikes he cared about.

Walk about 20 meters to the south, and you will come to the main road, which is Shindahashi Road. If you go to the left, that is, to the east, you will find the route towards Edogawa Ward, and if you go west, you will reach Nihonbashi. In front of Nihonbashi is the Sumida River, and the bridge over the river is Shin-Ohashi.

To get to Ishigami's place of work, going all the way south is the shortest route. If you walk a few hundred meters, you will come to Kiyosumi Garden. The private high school in front of the park is where he works, in other words, he is a teacher, teaching math ......]

Yoshino's ability to read quickly is not that he is not serious, but in fact, reading the manuscript quickly is a basic skill as an editor.

And Yoshino, as the editor-in-chief, is naturally not slow to read the manuscript, of course, although the translation is fast, but the plot at the beginning of "The Devotion of Suspect X" still clearly appears in Yoshino's mind.

The same style as "White Night Walking", this is Yoshino's first reaction.

As an editor and even the editor-in-chief of a magazine, I undoubtedly have a more thorough feeling about things like the style of my works than ordinary people.

Of course, the style of writing is relatively unimportant.

In mystery novels, the storyline is what matters.

Time passed little by little, and the sound of turning pages sounded from time to time in the editor-in-chief's office.

As the plot progressed, the plan to watch it for ten minutes first had been thrown behind by Yoshino, and Yoshino's reading speed was getting slower and slower.

And his expression also changed from relaxed at the beginning to relatively serious, intertwined with the plot of "The Devotion of Suspect X" in his mind, and a series of elaborate scam planning, which made Yoshino's back quietly straighten.

Two hours later, Yoshino's watch on his wrist pointed to half past one, and he finally finished watching the new work called "The Devotion of Suspect X".

“theking......”

“theking......”

“theking......”

Yoshino stood up and muttered softly.

No one knows what kind of ideological storm he just experienced in "The Devotion of Suspect X"!

Yoshino has always believed that the happiest moment of being an editor is being able to see works that are expected to make a name for themselves all over the world, before ordinary readers.

It is the instinct of almost every editor to dig it out and make it shine in its own right, after all, no one can bear to see the real pearl of fame in the dust.

Recalling the ending of the story, Yoshino was filled with emotion for a moment - Ishigami killed an innocent person to disguise himself as a dead husband for the woman he had a crush on, and carefully created an obviously fragile but irrefutable alibi, which can be called the most perfect trap.

He carried everything alone, and in the end he would rather ruin his reputation than just ask her to be well.

However, in the end, she turned herself in, all the truth was revealed, her affectionate and unrepentant love was willing to kill for you, and she laid out the most exquisite bureau to bear everything silently for you, this is the shocking finale of "The Dedication of Suspect X"!

As for telling the reader the truth at the beginning, how do you continue?

This mystery novel called "The Devotion of Suspect X" can tell you the best answer!

I've never read a mystery novel that can write a scam to this extent, and I've never read a mystery novel that can write love to this extent!

Yoshino can still maintain his calm on the surface, but he has already begun to shoot the case inside, and he is sure that "The Devotion of Suspect X" has a god-level ending that can go down in the history of mystery novels, and at the same time, it has branches that are not weaker than "White Night Walking"!

It doesn't matter if theking is a newcomer or an old-timer.

Being able to write the classic reasoning of "White Night Walking" and "The Devotion of Suspect X" at the same time is definitely an extremely terrifying existence!
