93 Mystery Novelist Disappearance III

Soon, the editor took out all the original manuscripts that the new name Rentaro had previously sent out and showed them to Kogoro Mori.

Kogoro Mori looked at the manuscript and said, "Oh, the name of this novel is "The Apex of 1/2", and it does have his signature on it!"

Mori Kogoro picked up the manuscript and looked at the signature carefully, turned his head to look at the new name Kahori, and asked, "Miss New Name, can you confirm that the handwriting of this signature is from the new name teacher?"

"Yes!" Shina Kahori nodded and said, "When I came here before, I had already confirmed that this was indeed my father's handwriting!"

When the editor heard the words of the new name Xiang Baori, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss Xiang Baoli, I think the new teacher must be too involved in writing novels to forget to contact you, in fact, there are many writers like him!"

After listening to the other party's words, although the new name Kaori didn't say anything, she pursed her lips, and her face didn't ease at all.

Lan looked at the expression of the new name Xiang Baoli and said, "But Mr. Editor, the new name teacher and his wife forgot to contact Miss Xiang Baoli, it seems that this is unlikely, right?"

Hearing Lan say this, the editor also frowned, obviously, he also felt that this matter was a bit unreasonable, and said, "You make sense to say that!"

Wei didn't speak, reached out and took the manuscripts, and looked at them curiously.

After all, he really hasn't read the new novel "1/2 Apex" by the new name Ren Taro, but the previous one was made into a TV series, and she still likes it, so it's inevitable that she will be a little curious about this new novel.

Mori Kogoro continued to ask, "Mr. Editor, do you think there is anything unusual about the new teacher?"

"Unusual circumstances?" the editor asked rhetorically, repeating.

Mori Kogoro prompted, "For example, you must have met before, right?

"Yes, we did meet before the serialization and had a cursory conversation about the novel," the editor nodded, frowned again, and said, "But I don't think there's anything wrong with it!"

"Even if it's a small thing, can you think of anything?" Mori Kogoro continued.

The editor touched his chin and thought for a long time before saying: "If there is really something wrong, it should be the re-serialization of this detective left text series!"

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro was stunned.

The others were also surprised to see the past, what is so strange about the new name Rentaro continuing to serialize this detective left text? Even to say that if there is really something wrong, it is the re-serialization of this novel? This statement is a bit weird, right?

The editor also saw everyone's doubts and explained: "Actually, we asked the teacher to write the new story of this series four years ago, but the teacher's answer has always been' Zuo Wen is long dead, he can't come back to life', since he said so, we had to give up, but two months ago the new teacher suddenly called and said that he wanted to start writing the story of the left text again, and asked us if we could publish it in the magazine, of course, this is what we couldn't ask for, so we quickly stopped the new serialization work and began to publish the new story of the left text series written by the new teacher. ”

"I see. Mori Kogoro understood, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

Wei frowned slightly, if the editor's words are true, then, things in this are a bit strange!

The editor thought for a while, remembered another thing, and said: "Ah, after you say this, there really is such a thing, but this matter has nothing to do with the teacher himself, that is, he wrote this paragraph at the beginning of the story, 'Attention of the famous detectives of the whole country, if you want to be above my wisdom, please solve the mystery of this story!'"

Maori Kogoro was slightly surprised: "This passage is full of provocation!"

Yui also narrowed his eyes slightly.

"yes!" the editor laughed, "because of this, we received a lot of phone calls and letters in the first issue of the series, such as so-and-so guy is very suspicious, how the prisoner's methods are, and so on, as far as the publisher's position is concerned! ”

"Is that the expectation so high?" asked Kogoro Maori.

"Yes," the editor said, "about half a year ago, there was a more radical fan who said that if he didn't re-serialize, he would set fire to our publishing house, and we received a lot of harassing calls like this!"

"Hah, that's right, this guy is too aggressive, isn't he?" Kogoro Mori understood.

Wei pondered silently, his eyes unconsciously fell on the original manuscript in his hand, radical ...... A fan of someone...... Is it?

"Ah, by the way," the editor said in his mind, "Speaking of something unusual, I am reminded of one more thing, and that is that the teacher himself appears in the novel." ”

"Gah?"

Wei looked down at the manuscript, she just glanced at the manuscript roughly, and didn't look at it very closely, but it didn't sound like there was anything wrong with it, but it was connected before and after...... Hmmm? That's ......

The editor explained: "The new name teacher appears in this story as an old friend of Zuo Wen, but the story tells him as a novelist who lives in France but his works do not sell well, there are more than 40 stories in this series, but this is the first time the teacher has appeared in the novel, I think at the end of the story should end with the sentence 'The previous case teacher heard from the detective left text', if he is Sherlock Holmes, the teacher is Watson! Miss, what's wrong with you?"

The editor looked at Wei Meng in amazement, and all the manuscripts pulled out the first page.

"Yui, has something happened?" asked Kogoro Mori, surprised.

Wei carefully compared the manuscript in his hand, to be precise, compared with the signature, and finally pursed his lips, divided the signatures into two, and said: "The signatures of this one, each one is a little different, but the signatures of these three are exactly the same!"

"Gah?" Mori Kogoro was stunned.

Conan also hurriedly leaned over and said, "Sister Wei, let me take a look too!"

"Here!" Yui handed Conan the signatures.

Conan looked carefully at the signatures, and it was true that the signatures of the chapters were a little different, but the latter ones were ......

Looking at the completely overlapping front, Mori Kogoro exclaimed.

"End...... It's exactly the same!" After calling, Mori Kogoro said with a little disbelief: "Only, could this be just a coincidence, maybe the new teacher just copied it directly because he was too lazy to sign it." ”

Wei said lightly: "Theoretically, it seems possible to look at this one thing alone, but if the new teacher and his wife suddenly disappear before and after, radical fans, the words in front of his novel that do not fit his character, plus he himself also appeared in the novel, these aspects add up, there will only be one possibility!"

"Yui, you mean ......"

"Kidnapping!" Conan said: "It is very likely that the new teacher and his wife were kidnapped at the same time, and under their persecution, the new teacher wrote this novel, and that unreasonable words are not that the new teacher is provoking the famous detectives in the country, but asking for help, in the case of being kidnapped, he can only use this method to ask for help! It is even possible that the new teacher is dead!"

"No...... Wouldn't it?" Lan was stunned.

"How...... How could it be? The face of the new name Kaori changed directly, and tears slipped down instantly.

Others were dumbfounded.

"This is terrible!" Mori Kogoro's face changed dramatically, and he said, "We must race against time now! Hey, go call the police!" Mori Kogoro shouted at the editor.

"Hey!" the editor hurried.

Watching the editor hurriedly call the police, the new name Kahori desperately endured tears so that they didn't flow.

Wei said coldly: "Don't be so anxious and desperate, what Conan said just now is just the worst-case scenario, and now the new teacher may still be alive!"

"Hmm!" was comforted by Yui, and the new name Kaori nodded vigorously.

The editor hung up the phone and came back with a hefty face and said, "I've called the police!

"Now we have to wait for the police to come...... Huh, what's that?" Mori Kogoro said, and saw the fax machine next to him start printing something.

The editor glanced at it and said, "Ah, it's the manuscript of the new teacher!

"Oh, that's it!"

Wei turned his head to look at the newly faxed manuscripts and said, "Mr. Editor, you just said that the new teacher also appeared in this novel, can you let us see this scene? Maybe you can find something from it!"

"Of course you can!" The editor hurriedly agreed, stood up hurriedly, walked to his desk, picked up a manuscript, turned to look at Yui who was following him, and asked, "This is the manuscript when the new teacher appeared on the scene." ”

"Well, thank you. Wei thanked him softly and bent down so that Conan could see it too, so that the guy would not be in a hurry.

Lan didn't run over immediately, but turned around to comfort Shina Kahori, who was extremely upset, before walking over with Shinna Kahori.

The editor said next to him: "When the story mentions that the left text must refer to the reasoning and opinions of this novelist who originally lived in France, I called to France, and the new teacher appeared in this scene!

"Hmm!" Yui nodded, carefully reading the lines in the manuscript.
