"Needless to say, didn't the previous 'Castle' and 'Kite' also receive a lot of praise?" said the young editor with an optimistic attitude, "as long as it is a good novel, readers in the island country are still happy to accept it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, take our Chinese online article as an example, it is still very popular among young people in island countries. Another young man said.

When Tian Song heard this, his mood was also a little lighter, but then he thought of something again, paused, and said what was in his heart, "I know everyone's thoughts, and now the less optimistic point is that the master who has made an appointment with us next, his writing style is very serious, and he may not be too popular in the island country?"

Chinese style?

Everyone immediately understood, this must refer to a few older mystery novelists, the works of these mystery novelists, like to set the background in ancient times, without various modern criminal investigation techniques, completely relying on criminal methods and logical reasoning. This is indeed good, but the Chinese style detective novel with such a distinct background is not popular in the island country because it has no sense of substitution. This is the conclusion reached by the experiments of "The Boy and the Book" for a long time.

"It's simple. Xiao Su smiled and said, "Isn't it just that I'm worried that the Chinese style is too obvious and readers don't like it, so the sales are declining? Just put the master's work in the back. ”

"The works of the island country?" Tian Song asked strangely, "You must know that if there are no excellent works of the island country, then it is better to use the works of the masters directly!"

It's like cooking, no matter how beautifully the main dish is, if the side dishes are not good, it will affect the appetite of the guests.

"Yes, that's what I thought. But this novel is not inferior to the master's pen power at all!" Xiao Su smiled from ear to ear, and seemed to have been prepared to take out a copy of the manuscript from the folder and hand it to them for circulation, and then said, "This is the submission I received this morning, a very, very, very good newcomer submission." ”

Tian Song was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"Boys and Books" is basically a magazine dedicated to Chinese writers, although there are contributions from writers from island countries, but there are very few.

But the newcomers?

What's more, recently, "Boy and Book" was nominated for the Yokono Masashi Award because of both serials, so it can be regarded as in the limelight. It's just that it's far from being as good as "Detective Hall".

Tian Song took the manuscript, and a few large characters were clearly printed on the cover.

The appearance of Suspect X.

Author, Hatano.

Tian Song did not pay attention to the author and the title of the book, but directly opened the first page.

At 7:35 a.m., Ishigami left the apartment as usual. Even though it was March, the wind was still quite cold, and he buried his chin in his scarf and stepped out. Before stepping onto the road, he glanced at the bicycle parking lot. There were a few cars there, but none of the green bikes he cared about.

……”

Time passed little by little in Tian Song's reading.

Seeing Tian Song's fascination, everyone also opened the pages of the book and began to read.

One of the female editors of "Forehead ......" just read two pages, and let out a small exclamation and quickly covered her mouth. The people around looked at it at a similar speed, some frowned, and some couldn't help but exclaim like her.

What kind of writing is this! At the beginning, it told everyone the identity of the murderer, and even how the murderer killed people!

Then what else can I do next?! Everyone didn't notice that they were already attracted to this novel! Xiao Su saw everyone's appearance on the side, revealing a clear look. Among the people present, she was the only one who had already seen it, but her reaction at that time was bigger than everyone else, after all, she watched it by herself at the time, and she didn't have to worry about whether it would affect others.

Only Tian Song didn't say a word, and everyone gradually immersed themselves in the pages of the book in their hands. 12 o'clock passed, and it was time for lunch, but no one spoke. The world depicted in this article caught their attention.

Tetsuya Ishigami is a high school math teacher who was known as "Daruma Ishigami" in his college days, and is a very talented genius like Yukawa. I originally wanted to be a mathematician, but I couldn't continue my research because of my family. He secretly fell in love with his female neighbor, Yasuko.

Ishigami, who was once known as a once-in-a-century math genius in college, is now just a single, inconspicuous high school math teacher, which makes him feel depressed, and his only pleasure every day is to go to the fixed bento shop to buy lunch, just to catch a glimpse of Yasuko, the next-door neighbor who works as a clerk at the bento shop. Yasuko escapes from her rough ex-husband with her only daughter, Misato, and the two live in a corner of the metropolis with their lives. One day, Yasuko's ex-husband came to the door, and when the two were arguing, Yasuko accidentally killed each other.

At this time, Ishigami appeared in front of the dazed mother and daughter, and proposed that he should clean up the aftermath. Ishigami uses the meticulous logical thinking of a mathematician to set up an unbelievable bureau, providing Yasuko with a seamless alibi, so that the police can only knock on the periphery and have no involvement in the case at all.

There can be no perfect crime in this world, but the investigation camp led by Kusanagi has never found the possibility of a breakthrough, so he has to ask for help from Yukawa Manaku, who teaches at Imperial Capital University.

And Kusanagi, Yukawa and Ishigami are classmates at Imperial Capital University, and Yukawa, who is known as "Detective Galileo", and Ishigami are even better friends. The story began like this......

A female editor was in tears when she read it, she had never read a detective novel, and she told everyone from the beginning who the murderer was, but she could be so attractive to watch.

Especially for the heroine Yasuko Hanaoka, her mood is even more complicated. Yasuko is a very conflicted woman, and her tolerance and weakness towards her ex-husband led to the uncontrollable situation later, and her ex-husband was killed in the chaos, but in order to protect her daughter, she showed her strength and resilience as a mother.

Although she is a prisoner, she can be said to be a victim in life from another point of view. The reader is unable to condemn her harshly, but more sympathy and pity for her. It is precisely because she has a complex story, but still maintains a kind and beautiful side, that it attracts Ishigami to exonerate her and develop a series of designs and layouts.

What a deep and intense love this is!
