Chapter 359: Kokoshi Saburo is not convinced
The Four Seasons Hotel is a luxury hotel founded by Isado, which is considered to be of high grade, and Kokoshi Saburo is in China and lives in this hotel. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kokoshi Saburo ordered a suite, three rooms, his agent lived in the second bedroom, at this time, "bang", the agent opened the door of the master bedroom.
The agent's name is Xiao Yue Zengji, just look at the name, you know that Xiao Yue Saburo is a relative, strictly speaking, Xiao Yue Zeng is still Xiao Yue Saburo's uncle.
"San Lang, there is a mystery novel in Huaxia that has a score of 96.7, surpassing you. ”
Xiao Yue Saburo, as the most promising person in Xiao Yue's family, saw that Xiao Yue had been in a hurry, but before he could react, he asked what happened, and heard him say this.
"Huh?!"
It's as ridiculous as hearing ****** and Kato Taka themselves say that they are still virgins, no, it's even more ridiculous than this statement.
Kokoshi Saburo stared at a pair of eyes, looked at his agent, and said loudly: "Do you know what you were talking about just now? The mystery novel score is 96.7, do you know how many mystery novels have been in existence for more than ten years in the International Mystery Novel Association? Let me tell you, there are only twenty-five, and there are only twenty-five in total!"
Crash
Because Xiao Yue Saburo was very aggressive when he spoke, Xiao Yue once subconsciously moved his feet backwards, and his body hit the chair next to him, making a noise.
"These twenty-five works, including three in the United States, two in the United Kingdom, two in France, one in Germany, and the rest are all from our country, but there are only seventeen books, and these seventeen books are all classics among the classics, and the authors who wrote these seventeen books are also famous among the famous, do you know?!" Xiao Yue Saburo shouted at the agent quite excitedly.
Before it was over, Saburo Kokoshi spat and continued: "As for 96.7, do you know what this score means? Works with more than 95 points, the International Reasoning Association has always only selected two, one is a collection of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories, with a score of 95.9, and the other is "The D-Poe Murder", which is only 96.1. ”
Edgar Allan Poe, as it has been said many times, there is no need to repeat it too much, the name of the father of mystery fiction is enough to describe everything, although the view of "art for art's sake" is somewhat extreme, but his short mystery novels have really reached the point where all the pieces are classics, so it is really normal for "Edgar Allan Poe Short Story Collection" to have this score.
"D Po Murder Case" is the idol of Saburo Kokoshi, the work of Edogawa Ranbu, and this work also has a cross-era significance, it created the first detective in the island country - wise Kogoro!
As an aside, the name Edogawa Ranbu, according to the Japanese transliteration, means Aytha Wallope, which means to worship Edgar Allan Poe.
"Only Edgar Allan Poe and such a big palace as Ranbu have the ability to write novels with more than ninety-five points. "There's a reason why Saburo Kokoshi is so excited, his goal is to write a novel with more than 90 points.
As I said before, the evaluation of the International Reasoning Association is very strict, and works with more than 95 points must be groundbreaking.
"Edgar Allan Poe Short Story Collection" and "D Poe Murder Case" are not laborious where they are created, anyway, now Xiao Yue Saburo is extremely excited, anyway, the above big paragraph, it is very simple to summarize, it is absolutely impossible for a novel with more than 90 points in China to appear, let alone more than 95 points.
Xiao Yue didn't know what to say for a while, and then silently took out his mobile phone and logged in to the official website of the Reasoning Association, and showed Xiao Yue Saburo the evaluation of "No One Survived".
After reading it, Kokoshi Saburo was silent, he was completely unconvinced by this score and the extremely high evaluation of the judges.
"It's impossible to commit a crime in the secret room, hehe, what else is created, I want to see, what is impossible. Saburo Kokoshi instructed his agent to buy a copy of "No One Survived".
You must know that with the release of the international reasoning score, the Modu Publishing House is on the shelves as scheduled, and now the book can be said to have sold like crazy.
Xiao Yue once drove and worked hard to get to a nearby bookstore, and then got a reply that it was sold out.
"I'm sorry, but the last book you asked for just sold out. ”
"The book sold out this morning. ”
"It's already been stocked, or you'll come to see it tomorrow. ”
"No One Survives" sold out. ”
……
The replies he got were all like this, Xiao Yue had two thoughts in his heart, the first seemed that this book really had a hand, and he ran seven or eight bookstores, and all of them were sold out.
The second thought, what to do, if you can't buy it back, the consequences are quite serious.
Although he is Xiao Yue Saburo's uncle according to his generation, Xiao Yue Saburo is the most promising person in Xiao Yue's family, and then there is no need to say more, and people who have the ability have a big temper, and it is certain that he will be scolded for not buying a book.
Xiao Yue decided to go back once, because forty minutes had passed, and if it was a little later, it would be even more thunderous. He drove back to the Four Seasons Hotel and opened the door lightly......
"Come back, make me a cup of coffee. Kokoshi Saburo said coldly.
"Uh-huh, okay, okay. "I didn't get angry, Xiao Yue was really a little unaccustomed to it, and then ran into the second bedroom with a smoke, making coffee, two-thirds of the sugar.
A few minutes later, I brought the brewed coffee in, and found that Saburo Kokoshi was preparing to read a book.
"San Lang is watching?" Xiao Yue asked cautiously after putting down the coffee once.
""No One Survives", I asked someone from the publishing house to send it, and when you wait, it's getting dark. Saburo Kokoshi made a gesture for the agent to go out.
Closing the door, Kokoshi Saburo looked at the new book on the table and muttered to himself: "96.7, I'll see what secret room is impossible to commit a crime......"
The book has no chapter titles, no preface, and there is always a sense of unseriousness.
At the beginning of the novel, the newspaper discusses the ownership and sale of a small island, one called Sogil Island, and then two people get an invitation.
[Dearest Lawrence...... Since the years I've heard about you...... Be sure to visit Sogir Island...... The most charming place...... There's a lot to talk about...... Past time...... One with nature...... Sunbathe...... Paddington Station at 12:40 a.m...... Pick you up at Oakbridge Station ......]
[I got your name and their recommendation from the Career Women's Agency.] I know they know you personally. I will be happy to pay you the amount of your salary and hope that you will come to work by August 8. The train will depart from Paddington Station at 12.40am and you will be picked up at Oakbridge Station. Attached are five one-pound bills. ]
……
"The start was mediocre, and it wasn't a big deal. Kokoshi Saburo frowned and commented, continue to look, he must find out the evidence that is not worth 96.7.
