Chapter 8 Life is far more bizarre than a story
For the next three days, Xu An was busy scanning the manuscript, making partial copies and starting to submit it to the publishing house, and he did not submit the full manuscript, but prepared about 200 pages of the manuscript and part of the set book, and found about a dozen publishers on the Internet, either by mail or by email. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
During this period, he also went to Ms. Natasha's house once, but there was no one at home, and at the same time, he also paid special attention to Ms. Natasha's neighbors, and found that the family had been pulling the curtains, and he didn't pay attention to it, isn't it normal to pull the curtains?
As for Ms. Natasha, there is still no news, she seems to have disappeared from this world, Chris contacts friends at the police station, hoping to find a trace of this woman, but finds nothing.
As a result, Xu An had to face a very serious problem - prison!
However, there is still a month before the trial, this problem is not very urgent, Xu An will not have trouble sleeping, after he sends out the manuscript, the rest is to wait for news, most publishing houses give news within a week, this does not make Xu An worried, in another world can be published, and even the story of the series is filmed, there is no reason why it cannot be published here.
What's more, that story is so exciting!
Xu An is very confident, in fact, when he first started writing, he planned to put this story on the forum or blog for everyone to read for free, the reason why he didn't do it was because he had always been used to writing with a pen, and if he wanted to publish a handwritten manuscript on the Internet, he had to re-enter it, which was really troublesome, and he didn't have so much time to operate.
In the future, Xu An remembered his selfless thoughts, and congratulated himself more than once on the writing habit he had developed since childhood.
In the past three days, Xu An has never gone out except for going out to Ms. Natasha's house, and even ordering takeout for meals is solved, and it is also the first time he has stayed at home for so long since he grew up, but he has a hunch that if he chooses to embark on the road of writing, this situation may often occur.
And during this period, his neighbors, Bruce, and they were exactly what they said they were, not necessarily going out early, but definitely returning late, and sometimes drinking, noisy and unpeaceful.
The sound insulation of the old-fashioned apartment is not good, but Xu An doesn't care too much, since he no longer dreams, his sleep quality is very good, he only needs five or six hours of sleep a day, and he can be refreshed the next day, which also makes him slowly develop the habit of going to bed late, if it is too noisy downstairs, he plugs in earplugs, sits at the desk and writes.
After sending the manuscript of "Game of Thrones", Xu An was not in a hurry to complete the second "Game of Kings", which was too large and complicated to be completed overnight, he continued to write "Lovely Bones", and at the same time recalled other works he had read in his spare time, whether it was a book or a movie, and recorded it at any time, he was afraid that he would forget these things one day.
In addition, there is some good music, but Xu An doesn't know how to compose music, he is already thinking about whether to take the time to learn this knowledge, so many beautiful and beautiful music works, if they are slowly forgotten with time, it will be a pity!
……………………
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was just dawning, and New York City, which had been restless all night, had just fallen asleep and was about to usher in a new day.
Xu An carried his fiery red longboard downstairs and prepared to go to the nearby Central Park to practice, 110th Street is just close to Central Park, where the vegetation is dense and the scenery is pleasant, which is a good place to practice boxing.
When going downstairs, Xu An met a few "vampires" on the fifth floor, now they are not only "vampires", but also drunkards, four or five people are supporting each other and swaying upstairs, although it has been a week since they moved in, but Xu An and they have only seen each other twice, and now they are all wearing performance costumes, and the heavy makeup on their faces has been messed up after a night, which looks quite terrifying.
"Bruce?" Xu An screamed uncertainly, but the people were obviously drowsy after a hangover, and no one answered, Xu An shrugged his shoulders and moved out of the way and watched them go upstairs.
Out of the apartment building, Xu An stepped on the longboard, his right foot was forceful, and he jumped out with a touch of rubbing the ground.
Longboard is Stephen's favorite sport, influenced by him, Xu An has slowly learned it in recent years, probably because he has experienced it countless times in his dreams, coupled with his strong and flexible body, he learns this very quickly, and now he is almost at a professional level.
Galloping all the way, sliding in Central Park for a while, carrying the steps and chairs in the park to reminisce about the tricks, the movements were not the slightest rusty, Xu An was very satisfied with his performance, after putting away the longboard, he found a remote place to practice boxing and kicking for an hour, and finally left Central Park when he bought a newspaper of the day.
The New York Times
Just as he likes pen writing, Xu An sometimes likes traditional things, such as news, and he still likes print media, although electronic news is more time-sensitive.
After opening the newspaper, Xu An's eyes were immediately attracted by the headlines on the front page.
"A thug hiding around us, the Queens serial killer, was caught last night!"
Former colleagues must have worked late last night for this news...... This kind of news needs at least two full pages to satisfy the curiosity of citizens...... Who is the murderer...... All kinds of chaotic thoughts crossed Xu An's mind, but they did not affect his reading speed.
This report really gave two full pages, Xu An habitually read the subtitles, the replay of the case, the arrest process, the murderer's information, the victim's interview, and the voice of the parliamentarian...... A routine that has remained unchanged for many years.
Xu An crossed the replay part of the case, and looked directly at the murderer's arrest, until he finished reading all the reports, his mouth was not closed.
Life is always more bizarre than a story, Xu An can only think of this sentence.
The murderer was caught by the father of the victim Kelly, the husband of Ms. Natasha, Xu An finally knew what the man's name was, his name was Lance, Lance Deuer, and it was reported that he had been committed to tracking down the murderer and avenging his daughter since his daughter was killed, as if the drunkard Xu An saw that day was another person.
And the murderer turned out to be their neighbor, that is, Xu An saw the man peeping in the attic that day, which made Xu An very speechless, that day he thought of "Lovely Bones" and saw the peeping man, but from the bottom of his heart, he never thought that that person was really the murderer.
But it's such a coincidence, that person is really a perverted murderer!
Lance gave all the police officers in Queens a resounding slap in the face, but the man in the photo did not have the slightest expression of joy, but was in pain.
Because Ms. Natasha is dead!
Died at the hands of that murderer, in fact, Ms. Natasha had long been suspicious of her neighbor, she noticed the strangeness of her neighbor with a woman's natural sixth sense, and wanted to track down the murderer with her husband, but at that time, Lance had already become a drunk because of the murder of her daughter, and the police did not believe her so-called intuition, so this strong woman had to do it herself.
It is also true that she had an affair with the police, but she wanted to get the information in the hands of the police from the police.
It was only after Lance discovered the notes left by Ms. Natasha that he began to track down his neighbors and lock down the murderer! Although the case was solved and the murderer was punished, Lance was not happy at all, his daughter was killed, and his wife was also killed in order to track down the murderer, and he was not present when his wife and daughter needed him the most!
Xu An sighed, he didn't know what to say, Lance's experience was too tragic, Ms. Natasha had been killed, and he didn't need to go to the great mother to testify to prove his innocence, as soon as the report came out, the truth was revealed, presumably Weber's editor-in-chief should know that he didn't make sensational news.
But he can't go back to the New York Times, Andrew's fat pig should still be in the hospital now, anyway, he can't get away with one charge of assaulting his boss, and the New York Times can't continue to hire him unless he can prove that Andrew said racist.
