"The long youth of the warbler **** suddenly shattered like glass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the beautiful, pure, and real are destroyed, and the memories and dreams that are reproduced are shattered, hatred begins to sprout and spread......

In this Tsinghua girl, some people like me, and some people hate me.

On Saturday morning, on the platform of the station, someone suddenly hit me, and I almost fell off the tracks;

After school on Monday, I swam in the shower and almost electrocuted.

After school on Tuesday, a pot of sky blue sunflower fell from the third floor of the school building until it hit the top of my head;

A teacher was poisoned in my usual locker room after school on Thursday, and he died for me?

It was only then that I realized that there seemed to be no way out of me. ”

The above is the author's own synopsis of the story, and after reading the summary of the book after reading the title "After School", the editors in the room fell silent.

"Alice Wang, a writer from Los Angeles, USA, is a typical Chinese-American name, this combination ...... As far as I know, there is only one person who is a match. ”

Qingzhi, who has been in the industry for five years, has a pair of dark circles under his eyes, with a tired face, and under the gaze of everyone who wants to laugh but dare not laugh, he said to everyone with a serious face: "It's that Alice-King." ”

Tsukamoto was not happy, he patted the table: "Which one?Qingzhi, you can't understand this kind of statement." ”

Qingzhi thought for a while and said: "The new American best-selling author, the author of "Jurassic Park" and "Scarlet Fairy Tale", this is the closest to our industry. ”

"Ah, that one!"

With Qingzhi's words, Junzi immediately looked like she suddenly realized, but then, she was confused again: "But...... I don't really care much about the American book market, are you sure this Alice Wang is already very good in the American literary scene?"

Qingzhi looked at Junzi with an innocent face: "Is there a second one?"

Junzi is forty years old, and when she furrows her eyebrows because of doubt, the number of forehead lines is much more than that of Qingzhi: "But the Alice Wang I remember is the director of "Ghost Shadows"!"

"Ah, yes!"

At this time, Hongji also thought of something, clapped his hands and said: "The boss of Cisco! Microsoft's shareholder, have you seen the press conference after Microsoft's listing?

Junko looked confused: "What Cisco...... Microsoft's? I don't care about what the big companies do at press conferences?"

A few conversations from his colleagues completely confused Tsukamoto, and he looked at everyone with a confused expression: "I said you, this name doesn't seem to have flooded to John Smith or ...... Or Tom, Harry, and Jack? It's a writer and a director, and now that even the business owners are out, there should be a limit to the name of the company, right?"

Yamamoto, who had never spoken, spoke silently.

"So, they're all alone. ”

As he spoke, he slapped a magazine on the table.

Undoubtedly, it is the American edition of Time magazine.

Although it is not the Person of the Year, the cover of this magazine a few months ago does feature an Asian girl in a white suit.

"Nani!?"

"Hey, hey, don't be so surprised, sit down, and take your head back. ”

Yamamoto, whose information in the core editor is only lower than that of the editor-in-chief Tsukamoto, waved his hand comfortably, which made the whole table, including Tsukamoto, sit back.

Tsukamoto stared straight at the cover of this issue: "So, the situation is ...... An American genius is going to enter our Japanese market?"

Junzi was also really confused, picked up this "Times" and flipped it up, and when she opened the relevant page, the whole person immediately paused.

Qingzhi looked at her with blank eyes: "How is it, Junzi-san?"

Junko's eyes widened like bull's eyes, and her mouth was like a hippopotamus: "Her debut novel and second book have been on the New York Times bestseller list for a long time. At the same time, he is also the writer, director and producer of DreamWorks' "Ghost Record", the writer, director and producer of "Ghost Record" of Dreamworks, and the ...... of Cisco and Microsoft Is this girl a monster!?"

"I think that's how it should be, Tsukamoto-san. ”

Yamamoto stood up and put the magazine away from Junko's hand, and seeing that the editor-in-chief was still in a daze, he shook the manuscript and said, "Look, how about we read the story first? It's rare that the other party's author who has two top bestsellers in a row actually sent a book to our Japanese mystery literature community, and it will definitely not disappoint everyone, right?"

That's for sure, and there are very few people who can be editors, but there are few who don't like to read, and after knowing this Alice's achievements, who can say that they are not interested in her first mystery novel?

You know, these are two novels that have become national bestsellers, and they are also the first novel and the second book to follow, and they have been on the bestseller list for a few weeks!

And the most important thing is that these two novels are still in different fields!

"Time" is not something that Yamamoto said could be put away, especially the editor-in-chief Tsukamoto is interested in this girl.

"Science fiction thrillers, and magical vampire romance thrillers...... Hehe, it's a long classification name, right, everyone said, what do they all have in common?"

"Thriller and suspense. ”

Qingzhi opened his mouth and came: "Especially this "Scarlet Fairy Tale", which describes the process of Haken's crime in great detail and in great detail, as well as the fact that the police solved the case, which is obviously preparing for the creation of a mystery novel." Everyone said, "Did this Alice want to contribute to us a long time ago?"

"My main concern right now is ...... What exactly is Alice Sand's plan? ”

Tsukamoto thought about it a little more: "From the perspective of publicity, it is indeed a natural advantage for overseas writers to publish books in Japan. In particular, we can also publicize her achievements in the United States, and the focus is ...... Each book is a new category, and each book is particularly popular, so even if it is the first time to create a mystery novel, it will definitely not disappoint everyone!"

This "everyone" naturally refers to the readers, and the editors think so.

"But she's still a big boss after all...... What the hell is she going to do?"

However, Tsukamoto only said half of what he said, he flipped through the introduction of Alice's career in "Time", as if he was telling everyone, and also seemed to be telling himself: "There are indeed many European and American capitalists investing in Japan now, does this little girl also plan to intervene?"

"Editor-in-Chief ......"

Hongji lay on the table, his fingers tapping on the table: "Work, work, let's read novels together, whether it's investment or business, it has nothing to do with us, right?"

"Well, that makes sense, so gentlemen, let's see what kind of work Alice brings to the Japanese people!"

So, after an impassioned mobilization speech, more than a dozen editors in the room, each with a copy, began to carefully read the debut novel of this amazing girl's reasoning.

"After School" ......

This is Alice's debut novel copied from the famous contemporary Japanese mystery novelist Keigo Higashino, a work that should have won the Edogawa Ranpo Award in 1985.

After a year and a half, Alice has already quietly launched an investigation into the Japanese reasoning literary world. There is no doubt that the originator of Edogawa Conan-kun exists, and some old-timer writers are also jumping in the industry all day long, but it is this Keigo Higashino, not to mention this "After School", but not even the "Magic Ball" of the 84 Ranbu Award finalist does not exist.

can't help but be tempted, if she chooses to copy a few famous novels to brush up on herself as a literary girl, with Conan's Daming, she will never let go of Japanese mystery novels. So since you want to copy a mystery novel, now that the opportunity is in front of you, it is impossible for Keigo Higashino's daimyo not to let go......

After all, as a writer who should have started writing books in 85, each of his books is not only in line with the times, but also in line with Alice's life......

For the Kodansha editors present, this "Plagiarized Version of Keigo Higashino's Award-Winning Debut Novel", which was imported from the United States, immediately brought them a novel experience.

First of all, like many Japanese novels, especially mystery novels, this novel is from a first-person perspective.

Moreover, the beginning of the book is a powerful medicine for all readers: the introduction reads, "After school on Tuesday, a pot of sky blue sunflower fell from the third floor of the school building until it hit the top of my head", which is played out in the first two natural sections of the book.

"What a simple means!"

Tsukamoto nodded in satisfaction, secretly sighing at the cleverness of Alice's technique.

You know, any reader has to read the synopsis before reading a book, and the introduction that Alice took the initiative to provide is particularly charming. The first thought that lingers in the minds of the vast majority of readers after reading such a brief is to know when the few accidents listed here will occur.

Then, it happened right away!

Just in the first two natural paragraphs of the book!

Clean and neat!

The next short episode of the plot is also very tight, and "I", who was almost hit by a flower pot, hurriedly ran up to the third floor to find out, but after exploring two classrooms with only people in a row, "I" found nothing.

Tsukamoto looked up and interjected, "Two classrooms, six students, do you think the murderer will be among them?" )
