Chapter 21: The Arrogance and Popularity of the Japanese

As Jiang Danfeng predicted, when Du Qiu went to the Japanese Embassy to apply for a visa, he ran into trouble again, but he did not refuse the visa on the spot, but went to another office under the leadership of a staff member. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mr. Watanabe, Mr. Du Qiu is here. ”

"Hi. Mr. Du, please come in. ”

Du Qiu bowed slightly to the staff who led the way, and then walked into an office decorated with an obvious Dongying style.

There are two people in professional suits in the office, a man and a woman, the man is about forty years old, five short figures, wearing glasses, with soft and messy hair, the image is a bit obscene, it is easy to remind people of the devil translator in the black and white anti-Japanese war movie, the woman has a pretty face, exquisite makeup, and can't tell the age, at first glance she looks like a girl in her 20s, but when you look closely, she feels like a young woman in her 30s.

"Mr. Du Qiu, please sit here. The woman greeted Du Qiu in fluent and standard Mandarin, and introduced while serving tea: "This is Mr. Watanabe Ichiro, the second secretary of our embassy, and I am Aiko Komatsu, the interpreter." ”

Du Qiu greeted the two of them according to Japanese etiquette, and then sat down on the chair opposite Ichiro Watanabe across the coffee table, and asked directly in Japanese: "Mr. Watanabe, is there any problem with my visa application?"

"We have noticed that there have been many reports about Mr. Du recently, which mention that you have lived in Japan, but there is no record of this in our embassy or in Japan. Mr. Du, can you explain?"

"Nothing in the newspaper can be taken seriously except the date. ”

"Mr. Du is saying that these are all false reports?" Watanabe Ichiro sneered, picked up the folder in front of him, took out seven or eight newspaper clippings from it, spread them on the coffee table one by one, and said: "These are all authoritative media in China, and the reports have your relatives and neighbors testifying, and there is also this, the American magazine "Wired", and the content of the report comes from your oral statement. ”

"Mr. Watanabe, I repeat, the media reports should not be taken seriously. Du Qiu's dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, picked up the newspaper clipping from "Wired" and looked at it, then put it back in its place, and said: "If the embassy rejects my visa application for such an inexplicable reason, I am disappointed and take my leave." ”

If the visa is approved, you can go to Japan alone to find out the environment in 1995, and you will not be afraid of making mistakes in the future......

If the visa has not passed, you can justifiably not worship the "adoptive father", and after a few years, the environment has changed, and a sentence of things and people can cover up......

In short, Du Qiu can attack and retreat, and he doesn't care if he can get a visa, and if he has no desire, he is just right, so he doesn't bother at all, he stands up very simply, and prepares to leave, Watanabe Ichiro didn't seem to expect him to be like this, a little stunned, the translator Aiko Komatsu hurriedly got up to stop him, bowed and said: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Du, Mr. Watanabe didn't mean that." ”

Watanabe Ichiro seemed to feel embarrassed, so he didn't get up, but leaned back on the sofa, with an arrogant face, and said in a condescending and charitative tone: "Mr. Du, we can approve your visa application, but when you arrive in Japan, you will have to act under the supervision of your own police officers." ”

Du Qiu sneered, didn't even bother to respond, and walked away directly.

"Mr. Du, Mr. Du Qiu, please wait. Aiko Komatsu chased after her from behind and apologized again, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Watanabe was rude and caused you trouble." ”

Du Qiu, like his father Lin Dawei, is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, this woman did not offend him, so it has nothing to do with Yan Yuese, and then changed to Chinese and praised: "Your Mandarin is very standard." ”

"Mr. Du, your Japanese is also very standard. Aiko Komatsu also changed to Chinese and said: "I have been in the capital for ten years, watching TV every day to learn Mandarin, where did Mr. Du learn Japanese?"

"Like you, I learned from watching TV. ”

"China...... Is there a TV show in Japanese?"

Du Qiu stopped, looked at Aiko Komatsu, and asked, "What does Miss Aiko want to say?"

"Arnold......" Komatsu Aiko looked at him with a mixture of nervousness, admiration and anticipation, then bent down and bowed 90 degrees, and asked in her native language: "Mr. Du Qiu, can you show me the latest chapter of "White Night Walking"? I'm very sorry, I'm very grateful!"

Yo, it turned out to be a fan......

Du Qiu knew that with the increase of fame and wealth, his vague and ambiguous life experience was difficult to satisfy some institutions or interested people, but he had only been an exchange student in Osaka for half a year before he traveled, and he knew very little about the Japanese social environment in the eighties and nineties, and he could not provide details of life that could be used for reference.

White Night Walk Serialized in journals from 1997 to 1999, the content began with a murder case that occurred in Osaka in 1973, when the hero and heroine were children, for various reasons, they each killed their parents, and never intersected again, and even never spoke, but they covered up each other's crimes for each other, and eliminated all people or things that were not good for each other, an old policeman after 19 years of tracking, found the whereabouts of the male protagonist in 1992, the male protagonist committed suicide by jumping off the building in order to cover the heroine, and the heroine looked at his corpse, refused to admit that it had anything to do with it, and turned away as if nothing happened。

This novel is one of Keigo Higashino's most famous works, which has been translated into many languages and has been adapted into TV series and movies, but the purpose of Du Qiu's plagiarism is not because it is wonderful, but because there are many social details in this novel that describe the Japanese economy from prosperity to bubble bursting, such as Mario, Hanshin, Tigers, golf fever, bubble economy, etc., these details can only be experienced by people who have lived in Japan for many years, otherwise they cannot be written at all, so they can be used as circumstantial evidence that they have lived in Japan。

What's even better is that there are many people in the world who like to push the author's experience, thinking, emotions and the like from the work, the hero and heroine in "White Night Walking" can't walk in the sun because they are burdened with sins, and can only cover up their whereabouts in the form of hiding and hiding, which is very in line with Du Qiu's image of "stowaway", the male protagonist in the book is proficient in electronic and mechanical technology, good at analysis and planning, and will never repeat the same mistake, and Du Qiu's "high IQ" and "self-taught" The image is the same, and it can almost be said that this novel is tailor-made for him, a perfect smoke bomb, which can make up for it at will, freely research, and bury lies.

In 1995, Japan had about 3 million Internet users, the second largest Internet country after the United States, the number of Japanese websites is far more than Chinese, Du Qiu's smartphone has the original Japanese version of this novel, plagiarism is effortless, after he returned from Thailand, he updated 10,000 words a day, "White Night Walking" Sent to a Japanese news group specializing in speculative novels, this novel has a total of about 350,000 words, and now about 190,000 words have been posted, and the character image and plot suspense have been paved out, and it has long become the hottest topic in the news group, attracting a large number of netizens to discuss and pursue, but I didn't expect this beautiful translator in the Japanese embassy to be one of the fans.

"How do you know I wrote it?"

"Mr. Du Qiu's UN2758 is a very famous ID on the Internet. Seeing that Du Qiu's expression was very calm, Aiko Komatsu didn't seem to object, so she bowed again and asked, "Mr. Du Qiu, please!" (To be continued.) )
