Chapter 61: Numb

Before dawn, magazines mass-produced from the printing house are quickly loaded onto trucks and sent to bookstores in the area in the typical winter morning fog.

Although it is not as urgent as the distribution of newspapers, and the writing, typesetting, printing, and distribution are all completed in one night and early morning, a strong semi-monthly magazine such as "Diamond" also has certain requirements for being able to deliver works to readers earlier and on time in order to better capture readers.

Rice flower town, Shiina Shoten.

Shiina boss yawned and put the new magazines on the shelves from the workers, he had been running the bookstore for more than 30 years, and in a few years he would not be able to do it, and if his youngest daughter and son-in-law were unwilling to take over the bookstore, he would have to ...... Rent out the store and be a boring charter man.

""Comic Happiness", oh yo, this time the painting is good, "Weekly Wenchun", which artist's scandal ...... published on it"

While the boss of Shiina stacked the books, he also took out a few glances and comments from time to time.

He has spent 30 years in such a dull life, and after reading every day, the boss of Shiina feels that he can write and submit.

It's just that the newspapers are now saying that the new emergence of the Internet will impact the media of newspapers, magazines, and so on, isn't it a joke? Shiina boss doesn't believe that the Internet can beat the print media that has been thriving for a hundred years.

Well, but if you open a bookstore next to the school, the more important thing is that you can see the tight and elastic thighs of the female high school students!

A joy in the world.

""Diamond", the previous work of Mr. Hirokawa has ended, and the last prisoner turned out to be the daughter of the deceased, I really didn't expect it, but I don't know what the new work will be like."

"Diamond" is Kadokawa Shoten's masterpiece in the category of semi-monthly magazines, with a thickness of more than 40 pages, a small half of the content is science fiction, a small half is various reviews, and half is reasoning, for science fiction or something, Shiina boss is not cold, he is still interested in mystery novels.

After all, living in a city where homicides are endless, there is no harm in watching more mystery novels, there is no harm, there is no harm in reading more mystery novels, mystery novels have been going on for a long time, and everyone must have the same idea as themselves.

"Bad Boy? What is the author of the coffin......" The moment he saw the author's name, the boss of Shiina knew in his heart, "That's interesting!" ”

Although the teacher's name is a little strange and awkward, the quality of the work is not to be said, and "The Mystery of Rice Flowers" is the best work that Boss Shiina has seen in recent years. But in fact, he was recommended to read it at the beginning of Kudo Yusaku.,To be honest.,If it weren't for Kudo Yusaku's fame.,Boss Shiina estimated that he wouldn't be able to stick to the second half.。

Because of the structural restrictions on the plot, the previous text is too flat and straightforward, which is too boring compared to the popular mystery novels now, but when I saw the detective in the book say the murderer in an orderly manner, the boss of Shiina couldn't help but feel numb and exploded.

It's numb, it's numb.

The murderer turned out to be myself.

It's a pity that this coffin teacher is just a newcomer who has just appeared on the market, and there are no other works before, according to the general speed of book publishing by mystery novel writers, it may take more than half a year or even a year to see the next work of the coffin teacher.

But I didn't expect to see Mr. Coffin's new work in the magazine so soon.

It was a real bonus.

"Bad Boys", ...... Kenji Hoshino"

"Mt. Takao? I've been there this year. ”

Mt. Takao is located on the outskirts of Tokyo, and can be compared to the fragrant mountains of Hyakyo in the country of China in terms of domestic tourism.

"The story of the son-in-law and the parents-in-law? Hey, looking at this surname, this son-in-law can't make a fortune. ”

The boss of Shiina remembered his two daughters and the youngest daughter to join her husband.

It's a good son-in-law who is reassuring.,Tempered temper.,It's still a math teacher in a national junior high school.,Of course, the most satisfying thing for the boss of Shiina is that the other party is willing to join his own family.,After all, my family is not a rich and noble family.,There's nothing worth looking at by others.。

There are just a few apartments in Rice Flower Town.

“……”

“…………”

But after seeing his son-in-law push his parents-in-law off the cliff, the smile on Shiina's boss stiffened, and he touched his chest, where he had a feeling of palpitations just now.

"My relationship with my son-in-law ...... It shouldn't be that bad. ”

Qiang laughed a little, and Boss Shiina continued to look down.

It's also very common to write the murderer at the beginning, just like doing a testimonial question, presumably a detective character will be introduced later to reveal the truth that the murderer is Kenji Hoshino.

This kind of book Shiina boss has seen a lot, but he believes that the coffin teacher must be more than just writing.

"Oh roar...... The key evidence was in the hands of the three children, and this time there was a good show. ”

But this is the end of the story in the first chapter, leaving only room for the reader's reverie.

"Bad boy, bad boy, it's definitely the three children you met by fate." Shiina's boss turned his brain, trying to resonate with the author in the plot arrangement.

Being able to guess how the author will arrange the plot and the final ending is also a huge cool point for readers like Boss Shiina.

"The two children have been arranged above for a reason to be in urgent need of money, and this Kenji Hoshino is also partly due to killing people out of inheritance, so if I'm the author, it is logical to let the three children get in touch with Kenji Hoshino, is it blackmail? It must be the daring child who wants to blackmail the adult! ”

Boss Shiina, who felt that he had guessed correctly, nodded, very satisfied.

Coffin teacher, I didn't expect it, the person who understands you best is actually me.

"And isn't this beginning quite fascinating, it's completely different from "The Mystery of Rice Flowers", and the coffin teacher seems to be a person who can write traditional mystery novels."

A good story is usually premised on a person's death, especially if this premise is added to the theme of 'fathericide' and 'indecency' that can attract more attention.

"Welcome."

At 7:40 a.m., a boy wearing a Rice Flower High School uniform walked into the bookstore, searched for a while on the shelves, and then pulled out the semi-monthly "Diamond" magazine that had just been put on it.

"Do you want to buy three copies? That's 3,300 yen, thanks to your patronage. ”

Raising his eyes to look at the boy, a look of nostalgia appeared in the eyes of the boss Shiina.

Boys are very handsome and must be very popular with girls.

So this makes the boss of Shiina nostalgic for his youth, and he really misses it, when he was very handsome and was confessed by girls one after another.

Putting away the three Diamond publications, Mito walked towards the school.
