There's also a more code word.,Try to get it done tonight.

With mixed feelings, Editor-in-Chief Russell temporarily left Garion's house and stood on the street, looking at the buildings behind him, and finally sighed, with a vague feeling in his heart that he had been tricked by him.

Compared to the author I met before, this person is the most difficult one. The businessman who was originally responsible for lowering the price was in turn given the feeling of being a general by him.

But the sharp-eyed Russell realized that this was a good business opportunity, and he could rely on him to drive sales in The Times. However, this cooperative literati is not an idle person, he has not found out the secret behind the other party before, and I am afraid that he will continue to dig deeper.

When he was accustomed to thinking, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and he held the cigarette butt and muttered to himself, "Who is the literati who escaped from political persecution in Paris?" ”

After sending off the guests, Balanchi looked at Garion, who was silent in front of him, and asked hesitantly, "Honey, is it really okay to do this?" But I have no experience in writing books......"

Although he had read a few books, Balanchi had always played the role of a canary in Paris, communicating with the literati but never writing it by hand.

Garion turned his head, the expression on his face softened, and he said very calmly, "Don't be nervous, I don't need you to write, I'll just finish it myself." It's just hanging your name, so that even if Russell wants to make a fuss, he can't find a breakthrough point. However, Russell, the editor-in-chief of The Times, is the first war correspondent in history, because he used to report on the war with the army when the Crimean War broke out. This kind of guy with a lot of life experience is really difficult to deal with. But don't worry, there's no obstacle you can't get over, I'll get it done. ”

Balanchi put her hands on her chest, calming her heart a little. As long as Garion said this, she believed that the man in front of her would definitely find a way to solve the problem.

In fact, Garion had another manuscript locked in his desk, the manuscript of "Murder on the Eastern Train", which he had originally kept as a backup, but now it was time to publish it.

"That's right, dear."

Garion walked over to the desk, opened the drawer, took out the manuscript, handed it to Mrs. Balanchi, and said solemnly, "I want you to copy this manuscript again, because if you want to make up the whole lie, then from now on, you will be the Lady Agatha who writes detectives, so you must even send the notes of the manuscript in the past to match you, you know?" ”

"Oh my God, let me copy those words?"

Balanchi was surprised to hold the thick stack of manuscripts, although she also wanted to try to be a literati, but the thought of writing so many words gave her a headache.

"I'll try to ...... to"

"You can't say as much as you can, dear."

Garion put his arm on her shoulders and said in a serious tone, "This matter is related to our next move in Paris, so you must do your best to play the role of a detective, please." ”

Although he was a little embarrassed, Balanchi finally agreed to his request.

A week later, when the final chapter of "A Study in Scarlet Letters" arrived, everything was as Thornton had expected, and the response was mediocre, and it did not become an instant hit, and while other editors were talking about it, Thornton began to retreat, thinking about whether he should give up on the subject.

For this reason, he also specially convened an impromptu meeting, and specially avoided Garion.

Others walked into the office one after another, gloating as the editor-in-chief announced the good news.

However, the meeting had barely begun when Thornton's speech was interrupted.

The last editor who walked in the door had a copy of The Times in his hand, he walked up to the editor-in-chief, pointed to the contents, and said with a serious expression, "It's a big deal, Editor-in-Chief Thornton, look at this, The Times has announced that it is going to publish a serialization of detectives." Is this ready to compete with us? ”

"What?"

Thornton's editor-in-chief had already decided to give up continuing to publish this type, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly snatched the newspaper from the editor's hand, and indeed, the Times issued an announcement that a detective's serialization was about to be published, and this piece was actually strongly recommended by the editor-in-chief, and the article had this treatment before it was published, which made Thornton have a bad premonition.

It's like raising a bar with them.

Immediately he quickly looked at the author's name.

"Agatha? How come I've never heard that name? ”

Others were also at a loss and could not give a reasonable explanation.

Thornton's editor-in-chief glanced at the advertised article's publication date, which was today. He hurriedly asked people to buy a copy of today's Times to see what the competitor had written.

The uneasy premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger, and after I got the newspaper, I hurriedly opened it to the latest serialization section, and then suddenly my face was like ashes.

The other party did publish a detective, and the Times seemed to be ready to raise the bar with the Telegraph.

"Murder on the Eastern Train."

With his eyes fixed on the name, the editor-in-chief Thornton was still comforting himself and said, "It's okay, the previous "Study of Blood Letters" didn't cause a sensation, and I'm afraid this article won't either, the audience for detective themes is still too narrow." ”

He clenched his fists, and although he was indignant in his heart, he still read the article patiently.

The series was divided into five issues and was published in a week.

This is the first issue that has just been published, but the style of writing is completely different from that of "Trotsky's" "A Study in Scarlet", so it is ruled out in the first place that it is his own editor who runs a column in the rival newspaper, so that there is only one plausible explanation, and the other party thinks that the detective subject can attract the reader's attention, so he absolutely does it.

"Editor-in-chief, what are we going to do?"

The editors present were waiting for the editor-in-chief Thornton to grasp the idea, and they were overwhelmed by the temporary change.

The editor-in-chief of Thornton can't afford to let his competitors get ahead of each other. Originally, they were going to cancel the serialization of detective works, but now it seems that they have to continue to compete with the Times!

After thinking for a long time, the editor-in-chief Thornton said slowly, "Wait for now, don't worry, the original cancellation has been postponed for the time being, we have to fight a protracted war with the Times, and, when Trotsky returns, let him come to my office, and we will make a propaganda plan for his detectives." ”
