"Detective Hall" magazine.

Once again, the editorial board met from here.

In the past two days, the first score is the novel "White Night Walking" by Sayuri Matsuno. And because he was elected to the Yokono Masashi Award. Some people are a little jealous, but most people are happy for her.

One of the most important events of today's meeting is to announce the latest popularity survey, which is very important for the magazine. Survey statistics are out. Many editors are looking forward to it, because it is related to the development of the magazine, and it is also related to their own salary level.

I saw the assistant Minako bring a piece of cardboard over, and everyone looked at it fixedly.

1st place: "White Night Walking", 1516 votes.

2nd place: "Going to school", 583 votes.

Third place: "Wind and Rain", 542 votes

4th place: "The Castle", 522 votes.

5th place: "Kite", 479 votes.

……

1st place!

Sure enough, "White Night Walking" unexpectedly won the first place in the popularity survey!

"Matsuno, who was the contributor who contacted you in the first place, and can you still get in touch?" asked the editor-in-chief excitedly.

"I can get in touch, I'll contact him right now!" Sayuri Matsuno naturally knew that at this moment, Aoi got the first place in the popularity survey, and this identity naturally rose.

The next cooperation with him must be shown by his own side!

The call went to Green's friend, and from that friend it was sent back to Zhang Can.

Zhang Can gave the latest instructions, it is okay to continue to cooperate, but the pen name must be modified.

Why?

Green was curious, but he didn't ask. After all, he couldn't understand the heart of a trumpet madman like Zhang Can.

So, Green passed Zhang Can's second pen name to the editorial department of "Detective Hall" through a friend again. At this time, they had already contacted from the Internet, and in order to prevent the identity from being revealed, Green's friends no longer went to "Detective Hall".

"What are you talking about? Aoi-sensei must change his pen name to Ozawa?" the editor-in-chief couldn't figure out what was going on.

"It must be because Aoi-sensei is Kumaji-sensei Kurano, but he thinks this pen name is too similar to his real name, and he is afraid of being recognized?" guessed the editor named Motojima next to him. He has always believed that Aoi is Kumaji Kurano, and he is convinced that this belief has also spread from his mouth to the East Paw, and even to the ears of many "insiders".

Although the editor-in-chief didn't understand, he still gave an order and said, "Whether it is changed to Ozawa or Osawa or Maria, let him go, as long as Mr. Aoi can continue to cooperate with our magazine!"

After they agreed, Zhang Can began to prepare the next novel in full swing.

He had been prepared for this.

It is also the work of Keigo Higashino from another world in his mind, "After School".

"I teach math at a girls' secondary school and also serve as an instructor in the archery club. Right in this school, someone wants to kill me!"

"September 10th, Tuesday after school.

There was a "bang" above my head, and I reflexively looked up to see a black object thrown out of the window on the third floor, just above me, and I hurriedly avoided it. The black object shattered after landing on the spot I was standing on.

That's a potted plant of geraniums!

What happened when I was walking around the classroom building after school. The sound of a piano wafting from nowhere. I stared blankly at the broken clay pot for a moment, unable to comprehend what was happening, until beads of sweat dripped down my armpits and I suddenly came to my senses.

Immediately after, I pulled my legs and ran forward. As soon as I rushed into the classroom building, I immediately ran up the stairs with all my might. I stood in the corridor on the third floor in a state of gasp, not just because my heart was beating fast because I was running, but because my fear was at its peak. If the top of your head is hit right by the blow just now, it will burst into red flowers like geraniums?

……”

“…… In this Tsinghua girl, some people like me, and some people hate me. On Saturday morning, someone suddenly hit me on the platform of the station, and I almost fell off the railroad tracks; on Monday, after school, I swam into the shower to rinse and almost electrocuted; on Tuesday, after school, a pot of geraniums fell from the third floor of the school building and hit me straight on the head; after school on Thursday, a teacher was poisoned in my usual locker room, and he died for me......?

"After School" is an early work by Keigo Higashino. The content of the work is mainly to describe the crime method, for "After School", the most outstanding content is to describe the process of killing and cracking in the secret room, although the structure of the secret room itself is simple, but in order to set off the atmosphere of the secret room killing, he has designed two secret room tricks with ingenuity, which increases the suspense of the work.

The story takes place in a girls' high school, and the protagonist of the book, Maejima-sensei, teaches at a girls' high school in order to survive, but he himself has no interest in teaching, and is privately called a "machine" by students, but because Maejima was plotted three times after school, he was very nervous.

Immediately afterwards, two teachers were killed, and all this seemed to have become dangerous!

Unlike "White Night Walking", the characteristics of humanity and good at turning in "After School" have been fully revealed. The structure is delicate and the puzzles are excellently designed, with the laughter and sorrow of youth, as well as the subtlety and darkness of human nature.

"White Night Walking" will only confuse people about the unsolved mystery and heartache for the hero and heroine. But "After School" puts your heart in a state of tension throughout the whole process.

That's the style change.

Zhang Can's actions were very fast, and the next day, the editorial office of "Detective Hall" received an email signed by Ozawa, which contained the book "After School"!

"After School" doesn't have as much history as "White Night Walking." If "Detective Hall" hadn't cooperated with Zhang Can earlier, when seeing such a work, he would definitely have some doubts, and suspect that he was not a writer from an island country.

Of course, if you think about it, they won't separate any countries.

But at this moment, no one in "Detective Hall" has mentioned this issue, and they are fully convinced that Aoi is a well-known trumpet in the island country.

This is also a misunderstanding that makes people laugh and cry!

Zhang Can didn't plan to hide his nationality, but since this was the case, he didn't think it mattered.

If he wins the prize and then announces it, it will be more in line with his ideas!

And the reason why he did not submit to "Youth and Books" like other Chinese authors is first of all for two reasons, one is his pen name, which did not make him refuse to be serialized.

Another is that he is not a person in the circle of Chinese detective novels, who knows "Youth and Books"!
