In the end, Kadokawa Publishing House adopted theking's decision. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The interviewee was the president of Kadokawa Publishing House, whose face was extremely serious in the face of countless reporters.

"Theking attaches great importance to privacy, he refuses to disclose any questions about his nationality, including our publishing house does not know theking's real nationality, we respect theking's privacy, and hope everyone will do the same. ”

As soon as the news came out, the whole of Japan exploded!

The theking teacher, who is recognized by everyone as Japanese, is a mystery of his nationality?

In other words, theking, who is regarded by many as the hope of the future of the Japanese reasoning community, is not necessarily Japanese?

Exploded, completely exploded, and the suspense house forum even had a brief collapse because there were too many posts discussing the matter, and the keyword theking appeared at the highest frequency in history!

At this moment, whether it is the Internet or reality, whether it is newspapers or magazines, there are literacy reports on this matter, and the news has even spread to other countries in Asia.

Mystery enthusiasts from all over the world are amazed by this.

"That theking, isn't he Japanese?" - Singaporean reader.

"White Night Walking, The Devotion of Suspect X" are also set in Japan, but now it seems that theking may be British. -- Malaysian reader.

"The World Mystery Contest, theking successfully advanced to the second round, and the work he wrote in the second round was a detective mystery novel set in 19th-century England!?"

"Who would have thought that a foreigner would be able to write a book that would make all Japanese readers think he is a native and sell well throughout Asia, thanks to his knowledge of Japanese background and culture?"

Of course, these demographics are relatively minority.

Because in terms of fame, theking is only in the middle of the day in Japan.

In other countries, only for reasoning lovers, it is only known that theking teachers are from their country.

So this incident also had the greatest impact in Japan, which was directly reflected in the Twitter attention of theking teacher, overnight, theking teacher evaporated more than 100,000 fans, and his sales of "White Night Walking" and "The Dedication of Suspect X" in Japan also plummeted.

Kadokawa Publishing House can only smile bitterly in the face of this ending.

As for Luoyang, when he saw the angry comments of some readers on Twitter, he was quite light-hearted.

Many people left messages on Twitter saying that they no longer believe in Mr. theking, Mr. theking is a big liar at all, he deceived everyone's feelings, so in the future, he will definitely boycott all of Mr. theking's works.

There are also some people who still believe that theking is actually Japanese.

Because theking didn't say that he was Japanese, he didn't deny it, so there was a lot of room for speculation.

Of course, among the remaining fans, more of them have kept their sanity, they believe that art has no borders, as long as the works of theking teacher are good, they will continue to support it, and there will be no unhappiness because of theking teacher's nationality.

"Do you still have time to play?"

Lu Yuer looked at Luoyang in disbelief.

When the news was overwhelming, Lu Yuer was afraid that Luoyang would not be able to think about it, so she came to Luoyang's residence as soon as possible to comfort him.

But as a result, when she arrived at Luoyang's house, what Lu Yuer saw was Luoyang teasing Mi Gollum with a cat teasing stick, and from time to time she let out an extremely hearty smile, as if the theking teacher who was talked about by the outside world was actually someone else.

"If you go out and tell me my nationality, I'm afraid I'll have to blow it up. ”

Luoyang was tired of playing, lying on the sofa and said with a smile, Mi Gulu saw that the master was not playing with him, glared at the uninvited guest Lu Yuer, and then jumped onto Luoyang's stomach and rubbed his little head on Luoyang's clothes.

Lu Yuer rolled her eyes: "Yes, you are the most powerful, both Japanese and British, making the Japanese people guess your true nationality." ”

Luoyang ignored Lu Yuer's amateurism, moved his neck, got up and entered the study, and threw the third mystery novel he had written to Lu Yuer: "I have sent out the second round, and this is the third round of entries." ”

Lu Yuer lowered her head and glanced at this work called "Red Hair Club": "The length has become much shorter!"

Of course, Luoyang would not say that he was actually making time to write martial arts novels, so he deliberately chose a short story from "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", and his expression was full of trickery: "Short and concise, there may not be anything bad." ”

Luoyang, of course, is not a random reasoning story.

In fact, the quality of "Red Hair Club" is only higher than that of "Four Signatures".

Some people often rank the stories in "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", and the ranking in everyone's mind is naturally different, but this story translated into Chinese as "The Red Hair Club" can often be ranked in the top ten.

There has been a special investigation by the media.

In 1927, Conan Doyle's own list of twelve favorite short stories ranked second in the redhead.

Then, in a 1959 reader survey conducted by Baker Street Magazine, this story called "The Red Hair Club" also ranked second in the series, which shows that the popularity of this story is not limited by its length.

Of course, Lu Yuer at this moment doesn't know the quality of "Red Hair Club".

After she took over "The Redheads", she said: "These stories of yours are a series, and the first two protagonists are Sherlock Holmes......"

Luoyang seemed to know what Lu Yuer was going to ask, and said directly: "The protagonist of this "Red Hair Club" is also Sherlock Holmes, and the name of this series is "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", I have a lot of stories about Sherlock Holmes. ”

"I don't know how your head grows. ”

When she said this, Lu Yuer's mood was quite delicate.

In the Dragon Kingdom, his romance novels have also touched countless readers again and again, and even some readers who are moved by stories often leave messages for themselves, asking how their heads grow, and how do they think of the stories that move people's hearts?

Today, Lu Yuer also asked the same question in Luoyang.

That's when she understood what it was like for the reader to ask the question.
