Chapter 304: The Last Case, Book Lovers Riot (Part II)
Not everyone has seen the story of Sherlock Holmes, but everyone has at least heard the name and understood what it means.
The chubby girl quietly hid and eavesdropped on the conversation between Liu Jingting and Kang Lingyue, trying to unearth a big news to make her famous gossip building, but before the two finished speaking, she was the first to collapse, which is enough to show the popularity of this detective story.
Liu Jingting and Kang Lingyue stood in the corner of the hall one after the other, until someone found him, and called out in a complicated tone: "Liu Jingting." β
Then everyone turned to look at him, some were angry, some were puzzled, some were confused, some were confused.
Liu Jingting met everyone's eyes "blankly", and then asked Gao Shu: "It's time for me to sing?"
Gao Shu "ah" for a moment, then took a few steps forward and asked, "Gossip upstairs said that you are going to write Sherlock Holmes to death?"
Liu Jingting also "ah", shook his head and said with a smile: "Where is this, the story has just begun, I don't know what is going on behind, Bagua Lou knows?"
Gao Shu was stunned for a moment and said, "That should be a rumor." β
The atmosphere at the scene was relieved, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Jingting secretly screamed ashamed, and at the same time surprised: "China is already like this, let alone Britain." β
Liu Jingting shook his head with a smile, and then glanced at Yang Lilu, who looked guilty and quickly avoided Liu Jingting's gaze.
The party went on as usual, but Liu Jingting had to leave early, because after the news broke, his mobile phone turned on the non-stop mode.
Everyone naturally understands the stakes. It's not easy to keep.
"If two people want to have a good relationship, face-to-face communication is a very important link, but it's a pity. β
After Liu Jingting left. Ye Hao said to Gao Shu regretfully: "It's like in a company, if you want to get in touch with someone, you need to understand his living habits, such as what subway he takes, such as whether he likes to smoke, such as what game he likes to play, and after finding common ground." You can use this as a medium to create casual face-to-face communication for a long time. Everything else will fall into place. β
"You should belong to the person who is being followed, right?"
"Not necessarily. Ye Hao took a sip of the wine in his hand, glanced at Liu Jingting's departing back, and stopped the topic.
β¦β¦
Liu Jingting, Yang Lilu, and Kang Lingyue have been silent since they went out. When passing by a garden. Kang Lingyue asked, "Do you have another classmate?"
"He has something to stay there. β
Liu Jingting said in a relaxed tone.
"Say whatever you want, I admit it's my fault. Yang Lilu finally spoke.
Liu Jingting smiled: "It's the girl who wants to be in the limelight who did it, what does it have to do with you?"
"Yes. Kang Lingyue continued.
Yang Lilu still lowered her head slightly.
"Can you ask where I'm going now, if I go to the office, I have to go back and change my clothes, it's really inconvenient for me to walk like this. β
"Then you can go back and change your clothes first. β
"No, when you went out just now. The expression is very anxious, how can you ...... now?"
Liu Jingting smiled: "Come out a little later." I'm going to sing "Iron Blood Pill Heart" with Sun Boya, do you say you're in a hurry?"
"Huh?!You're not going to deal with Sherlock Holmes?"
"By the way, otherwise I'll always be on the phone. Moreover, the online news is about a wind and no waves, and you will never be able to guess what the person in front of the screen is thinking, which will estimate that someone is already analyzing the cause of Holmes's death. β
"Are you really going to write him to death?"
Liu Jingting glanced at her, and suddenly said loudly: "Guess, why would you write a mystery novel otherwise?"
β¦β¦
As Liu Jingting expected, the news of the Bagua Building quickly spread on the Internet and caused a large-scale discussion, with everyone insisting on their own words and arguing endlessly.
The next day, the news reached the UK, but after filtering, netizens over there judged that this might be a hype made by the bookseller or even Liu Jingting himself, even so, they were still angry, because, friends in Britain thought, how can you use Holmes's life to hype?
Facts have proved that the rumors are really a false alarm, after the "Craftsman's Record" was listed in February, Sherlock Holmes style is still the same, at this time, the winter vacation of Vientiane has also begun, after the magazine went public, Liu Jingting waved his hand, and the editors went home on vacation early.
Yingri Culture Company should be the earliest company to start annual leave in the country.
When the editors began to enjoy the annual vacation, the journey of the new issue of "Craftsman" had just begun, and the seven serials had their own characteristics, each with its own supporters, and supporters of "Happy Heroes" and "Chivalrous Journey" successively issued their own articles, at least the top three.
Despite this, "Liancheng Jue" tells the tragic story from the perspective of a bystander, and the pen gradually becomes cold, which makes readers shudder, but in this way, I feel more and more that Gu Yongsheng knows people's old and spicy, and as for the profound ancient literary cultivation shown in "Journey to the West", it is even more unfathomable.
Of course, the most popular at present is still the long-standing "Lu Xiaofeng" and the "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" serialized simultaneously by the Three Kingdoms.
In the same magazine, all serialized articles have their supporters, and they all appear in everyone's discussion topics at a high density, which in itself is an unimaginable thing.
After seven serializations, the average quality of "Craftsman's Record" is the highest in history, and no one has any objection to this.
β¦β¦
Liu Jingting had a quiet New Year, spending most of his time in front of the computer, and the rest of the time he either chatted with his parents at home, mentioned buying a house in the city, or went out with his parents to pay New Year's greetings to the elders.
It is worth mentioning that regardless of relatives and neighbors, more and more people began to borrow money from the Liu family, and some people may not know what Liu Jingting is doing now, but they see Liu Jingting on TV, according to their inherent cognition, the people who appear on TV must be very rich.
Fortunately, Liu Jingting declined the invitation to the New Year's gala, otherwise. It is estimated that kindergarten students will come to discuss joint entrepreneurship.
Liu's father and mother are both relatively weak people, and whenever someone comes to borrow money, even though they know that the other party may not be eager. Still embarrassed to refuse outright.
Liu Jingting's attitude is very clear, unless he is really in a hurry to use the money, unless he is a real relative, he will not borrow anything else, like a cousin who came over and wanted to borrow 500,000 yuan, claiming that he wanted to do a career, it was really ridiculous.
Liu Jingting in order to relieve his parents. Tongyi said: "I bought a house in Jianghai, and now I am still repaying the loan, or else." Do you know who has the money, lend me a little first?"
It seems that many wealthy people are desperately trying to buy real estate, but it's not all about showing off their wealth. Perhaps a large part of the reason is debt evasion. "Escape from being borrowed".
β¦β¦
This year, there is no way to go back to school after the winter vacation as in previous years, and in a certain way, Liu Jingting, Yang Lilu, Xiao Qingyu, Chang Youdao and others are already half of the working people.
How can there be such a thing as winter vacation??!!!
"Next, the magazine will enter a special period for a long time, and I can't predict the exact number of jΓΉ, anyway. Everyone is mentally prepared. β
Although they knew what Liu Jingting was going to say, everyone was still nervous. After all, so far, only Yang Lilu has seen the original manuscript.
"If things go beyond expectations, we'll stop publishing for a month. β
Before everyone was completely detached from the cheerful New Year's atmosphere, they were completely pulled back to reality by Liu Jingting's reminder.
"The Last Case" finally appeared in this world.
One day at the end of April, an editor of a British magazine was working when he suddenly let out a scream of joy.
At the same time, Brown, the editor-in-chief of the American magazine "Brain Core Gravity", shouted "my God" ten times in a row.
At this time, they were holding a manuscript with the same content in their hands, the manuscript was from China, the author, Liu Jingting, and the article was titled: "Sherlock Holmes: The Last Case".
They were so out of shape because they had just learned of Holmes' death.
The coping strategy of the two magazines was basically the same, first the editor-in-chief hung up the phone to Liu Jingting to confirm, and after receiving a positive reply, he began to rush all the editors to hold a meeting.
After reading the manuscript, a young female editor of the British magazine cried bitterly on the spot, and kept saying "this is impossible, Sherlock Holmes cannot die, this is a conspiracy ......"
The meeting could not be carried out normally at all, and everyone was either shocked by the content of the manuscript, or began to denounce Liu Jingting, blurting out all kinds of ugly words.
"It's revenge, that Chinese boy is taking revenge on us. β
"He doesn't have the right to do that, Sherlock Holmes is our friend. β
"He has prepared this cup of poisoned wine for us from the beginning, he is too cruel, too terrible, too vile. β
Inevitably, the discussion turned into a denunciation rally, and the denunciation rally finally came to a conclusion -- to publish a press release, to gather public opinion, and to force him to change the outcome!
On April 30, "The Last Case" was published all over the world, and British and American magazines invariably changed the cover of the magazine to a solemn black series, with the words "shocked", "mournful", and "no" written on the cover.
In just an hour, the news of Holmes's death spread throughout the United Kingdom, and the British Internet seemed to have been thrown with nuclear weapons, and the social networks of young people entered a state of frenzied refresh, and there was a large-scale abnormal movement on the Internet.
"The Chinese murdered Sherlock Holmes!"
"Shameful Liu Jingting, return us Sherlock Holmes!"
"Let's unite, the war is about to begin!"
"If Holmes is not born, I will definitely go to China to find Liu Jingting to duel!
The anger of the British, especially the citizens of London, could not be vented in time, so they had to temporarily turn to the magazines that published serializations, first canceling the magazine's subscriptions, and then rallying in front of the magazines to demonstrate.
The magazine is besieged, and there is history, but it is unprecedented to be surrounded by so many people!
With this demonstration, demonstrations of various sizes followed, and they staged a sit-in demonstration in front of the Chinese Embassy in Britain under the banner of "Give me back Sherlock Holmes."
The staff of the embassy were dumbfounded, looking at the history of China and foreign countries, it is unheard of to hold a demonstration because of the life and death of a fictional character.
The person in charge of the embassy immediately asked Yanjing, and there was news that someone had been sent to do Liu Jingting's work, and he would be appeased first.
Chinese readers, who were already very dissatisfied, were suddenly frightened by the reaction of the British side.
Demonstrations?
Awesome!(To be continued......)
