Chapter 232 Showing the Horse's Feet
"This ......" hesitated for a moment, and then the editor said: "To be honest, I think the new work written by Mr. Wanda is indeed a little less flavorful than in the past, but I think it is because he has not yet come out of the grief of losing his wife, in fact, I think the reason why readers still buy Mr. Wanda's books is actually feelings, right?"
"I see, let me ask again, when Mr. Manda said his new book just now, I saw that your expression didn't seem to be natural, is there any reason?"
"Ah...... No, no. The editor explained in a panic: "I ...... I was surprised because I hadn't heard Mr. Manda talk about the new work, because it was clear that Mr. Manda was still struggling with the end of the book now. ”
"Really?" Mizuma Moon approached the editor, "But the reason why you and Mr. Manda are already here is not because you went to Mr. Manda's house on the other side to discuss a new book?
"Okay, Mr. Manda had already told me about writing a new book about reasoning, but what he told me was that he was almost done writing it now, and he was thinking about the end of the story. So I was a little surprised. The editor said with trepidation.
"Inconsistency...... And it's the end of thinking again. Mizuma touched her chin and thought.
"I think Mr. Wanda may not want the news to be revealed, so he hid the truth from the police officer, so please don't doubt ......Mr. Wantian too much" The editor explained for Wantian for a long time: "And it is also possible that Mr. Wantian was lying to me before, police officer, you may not know, many authors who like to delay the manuscript like to use various reasons to deceive the editor, Mr. Wantian is also such a person, otherwise I would not have put Mr. Wantian in the hotel today and asked him to rush the manuscript." ”
"But since you're just here today to urge the old book and discuss the new book, is it necessary for him to lie to you that the new book has already been written?" Mizuma continued to ask, Wan Tian's answers were inconsistent after a long time, and it was very likely that he was weak about the matter of 'finishing the new book', which meant that there was a problem.
"It should ...... Yes. The editor said uncertainly.
"Then I don't want to mention that, I'd like to ask about that gray cat. This is the question that Mizuma Moon itself needs to ask, and the suspicion that Wanda Nian showed at the beginning revolves around the gray cat.
"Do you mean Nobel?" The editor listened to the conversation between Mizuma Moon and Wan Tian for a long time, so he also knew that Mizuma Yue would have questions about Nobel, and explained without surprise: "Nobel Teacher Wan Tian didn't lie, it is really very close to Wan Tian Sense, I once volunteered to take care of Wan Tian for Teacher Wan Tian for a period of time, but I was not only scratched by it, but also the things that can be broken and scratched are tragically poisoned, and it is indeed a very fierce cat." ”
Without waiting for Mizuma to answer, Shiratori's voice suddenly came from the other end of the corridor, "Mr. Wantian, where are you going?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. On the other side of the corridor came the sound of Wan Tian walking farther and farther away.
"I understand what I just said, so is there a Nobel in the hotel today?" After confirming that there was no follow-up on the side around the corner, Mizuma continued to ask.
"Yes, Nobel was also with Mr. Manda, and before Mr. Manda closed, I said to Nobel, 'Please Nobel help me take care of the teacher.' The editor said.
"What about coming back from the hotel, and Nobel is also together?" Mizuma continued.
"Of course, otherwise how could Nobel be in the arms of Mr. Wantian now, don't ......" halfway through his words, the editor seemed to think of something.
"What's wrong?"
"No, not really. ”
"I suggest you have a problem or say it quickly. Mizuma Yue looked like his patience had been exhausted and threatened: "As an editor, I know that it is my job to maintain famous writers, but if Mr. Wantian's innocence is not needed by you, if he is the murderer, your maintenance will only allow you to get a cover-up!"
"I, I, I...... I said, yes, Nobel was in the cage when he came back, and the teacher said that Nobel was going to take a nap. Frightened by Mizuma Tsukiichi, the editor finally said honestly: "But I think Nobel must be in the cage, it can't come back before us, right?"
"Maybe there are a lot of cats who know their way and find their homes from far away. Mizumayue said casually, the meow king who was only handed over to Gray Yuan Ai to take care of him once ran back to Mizuma Yue's house, and I don't know if it was because of the unsatisfactory stay at Dr. Asasa's house, anyway, he was sterilized a few days after being caught back by Gray Yuan Ai.
"But ......" Seeing that Mizuma Moon was completely distrustful of Wantian for a long time, the editor was anxious to speak.
"Okay, nothing more, thank you for your cooperation, if you think of anything, you can always report it to any police officer. Mizuma interrupted him and turned to walk back.
------------
"Thank you for your cooperation, and if you think of anything else worth noting, you can tell me or any of the officers. Shiratori politely said to Mrs. Ichimura, the domestic helper of the original family.
"You're welcome, I have known Gao Pingjun for a long time, and I am also very angry that he was killed. Mrs. Ichimura frowned and said, "But I can't leave first, after all, I have my next job to do." ”
"Well...... "Shiratori is a little difficult to handle, unless the case has been determined and cannot be resolved in a short time, the rule that the people involved in the case are not allowed to leave early is set by Mizuma Monthly, in order to prevent the prisoners in this case from absconding, destroying evidence, or continuing to commit crimes.
And under normal circumstances, or if the police officers of other departments handle the case, as long as they are not established as suspects, they will usually not be blocked, after all, others have important things to do, and they should not be left behind just because of the case, why did Saionji Aritomo prevent Manda and his editor from leaving before, which led to a quarrel between the three.
Of course, this is also because the cases investigated by other departments are all "simple homicide cases" rather than high-IQ murder cases, and the murderers are basically in the type of running as far as they can, and they dare not play 'dark under the lights' with the police.
"It's okay, you can leave, but if we have something to contact, you can be on call or as soon as you can. After thinking about it carefully, Shiratori agreed, anyway, looking at Mizumatsuki's performance, the murderer in this case must be Mr. Wantian, and it should not matter if this helper left early.
"Alas......" After stealing for a while, Shiratori leaned against the wall and sighed, not expecting that the author he once liked really embarked on the path of crime.
I don't know if I want Cao Cao to get there, as soon as I look up, Shiratori sees Wan Tian walking towards this side with a ghostly head, looking like he wants to listen to the conversation between Mizuma Moon and the editor.
This sneaky appearance couldn't help but make Shiratori's disgust and depression even worse, and he said loudly to Manda Nenjiu, "Mr. Wanda, where are you going?" The voice was very loud, on the one hand, to stop Wantian Nenjiu, and on the other hand, to remind Mizuma Tsuki's side.
"I didn't ...... What, nothing. Wantian, who was startled by Shiratori's voice, panicked for a long time, and couldn't even remember the reason he had thought of before deciding to come over, so he turned around and left in a panic.
"Mr. Wantian, are you still worried about Gao Ping's affairs?" Mrs. Ichimura, who happened to take her handbag and was about to leave at this time, came over and greeted Wantian for a long time.
"Yes, I only have such a proud disciple, although I am a little introverted, I still have high expectations for him...... Are you leaving?" asked Manda halfway through when he saw Mrs. Ichimura carrying a bag in her hand.
"Yes, although Gao Ping's matter makes me angry, but I still have work to do, so I have to leave first, please Wantian-sensei, if you know the murderer, remember to tell me!" said Mrs. Ichimura.
"Okay......" Manda said with some embarrassment, but he didn't dare to question why Mrs. Ichimura could leave him because of his weak heart.
"That's right, Mrs. Ichimura. Wan Tian asked suddenly, "Originally, did he ask you to help buy anything recently?"
"No, he asked me to make an appointment with him at the dentist, what's wrong?" replied Mrs. Ichimura.
"It's nothing, but I suddenly remembered that he had mentioned to me this morning, 'I'm excited to finally collect them', so I guess I asked you to buy some collectibles on your behalf, isn't he?" said Manda for a long time, "Because I haven't heard what I have collected, I'm a little worried about whether it has anything to do with him being attacked." ”
"What's going on. Shiratori, who was standing a little farther away, heard the conversation between the two men and came over to ask.
"Oh, I didn't tell you about this, Gao Ping, he doesn't like to buy things by himself because he's too introverted, and many of his collectibles are bought by me or others for him, but I think this should be a normal thing, and it shouldn't have anything to do with him being attacked, so I didn't mention it. Mrs. Ichimura explained.
"I wrote it down, and was there anything else I didn't say. Shiratori said solemnly.
"Wait, let me think about it. Mrs. Ichimura hurriedly recalled in a panic.
"Shiratori, don't be embarrassed for her, after all, the things that we people hold up that are worth caring about may be very normal in their eyes. At this time, Mizuma Yue ended her questioning of the editor and walked over.
