Chapter 40 The Iron Fist of Love, Comic Matters
The next day, everything was as expected before summer and autumn. According to news reports, after an investigation, the Metropolitan Police Department pinned the source of yesterday's bombing on the body of the dead Italian bandit leader, Tinokaba.
I thought that was the end of it. But then, another piece of news about the Maple Leaf Gold Coin incident was reported.
To the effect that, for the sake of friendship between Italy and Japan, the city government decided to collect the gold coins that had fallen into the hands of the city according to the market value, and also called on everyone to return the gold coins they had found to the police.
As a result, although the gold coins still fell into the hands of the police, the loss of 600 million yen was real.
As for the location, it's at XX Bank.
"It's a real surprise." Xia Qiu's eyes lit up, and she didn't know what Conan would think if she found out. As for free returns? Someone might do that, but what about him......
…………
Not long after, Xia Qiu walked out of XX Bank with a newly opened passbook. Yesterday he had snatched a total of one hundred and thirty-one gold coins, and they were the ones in perfect condition.
According to the market value, an intact gold maple leaf coin is worth around 40,000 yen. In this conversion, he received a total of 5240,000 yen this time.
He was the richest of all the names of the cities where gold coins were found. More than 5 million yen, which should be more than 300,000 yuan when converted into people's name coins.
For this reason, there is also a young lady who came to the bank to work in a reporter who interviewed him. This made the long queue of passers-by next to him also exclaimed.
Especially that kind of envious eyes, they are almost glowing with jealousy. Because most of them only have one or two or three gold coins.
Even before summer and autumn, there were only a dozen or so of them. How did this more than 100 pieces rob it?
In fact, not only those people at the scene, but Uncle Maori, who was watching TV at home, was directly red-eyed, and his eyes were about to pop out when he looked at Xia Qiu on TV.
You know, that's 15,000 maple leaf gold coins, if he had known about this, why did he stay at home yesterday? It's good now, so many people are cheaper for nothing, and that kid.
Damn, thinking of this, Uncle Maori has a jealousy and hatred in his heart. Biting a rag, as if the money was his, my heart was about to bleed.
Seeing this scene, Conan next to him sighed twice, despising it to the extreme. But then, with a "bang", Uncle Maori smashed his dog's head directly with an iron fist of love.
"Boy, I heard you were there yesterday, didn't you?"
Uncle Maori hated the way that iron does not make steel. This kid knows nobility. You know character, but you don't know the hardships of living in this world.
In this way, Conan trembled under the education of Uncle Maori's "love......
On the other hand, Xia Qiu's mood is beautiful. More than 5 million yen, equivalent to more than 300,000 coins, is now a small family asset.
But unfortunately, when it was night, Yoko Okino took the money away. Of course, Xia Qiu resisted "with all her might", but in the end, she couldn't fight the majesty of the eldest sister that the other party had accumulated since childhood.
"No! Men become bad when they are rich, even if you are a boy. Therefore, my sister will save this money for you first, and use it when you get married in the future. ”
Looking at Yoko's light and cheerful appearance, Xia Qiu had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears. I'm going bad, I'm going to be bad? Still married? I don't know who my future daughter-in-law is.
Thinking of this, Xia Qiu couldn't help but recall the future scene she had seen a few years ago. If that were the case, he would never have had his own private coffers for the rest of his life.
Damn, I knew I wouldn't be on that news today. Xia Qiu regretted it in her heart, not knowing when she would be able to have her own finances.
At the same time, I also made up my mind to pay attention to the next time I have money, I must be quiet and stable, and I can't be careless!
Xia Qiu pondered, and at the same time returned to his room to check the system's mission rewards this time.
That mysterious treasure chest......
At the same time, the comic submissions he sent out finally reached the editors. Jiichiro Hirakawa is the deputy editor of the weekly Shonen JUMP branch of Shueisha.
At the age of 24 this year, he can be regarded as young and promising compared to those of his age who are still in the internship stage. However, he hasn't been in a good mood lately.
In the eyes of outsiders, he may be young and promising. But for a young man with a dream, this achievement is nothing at all.
Dream! Yes, it's a dream.
Ever since he became editor, he's always had a dream of finding a leader for the weekly Shonen JUMP, or Shueisha.
As it stands, whether it's Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump, Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, or Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday, there are a lot of sales, but after all, they are only supported by numbers.
To put it simply, no matter which of these three magazines is, they all lack a comic that is enough to carry the handle. Although there are many comic book authors, none of them can stand alone and stand at the top.
Especially the Shueisha weekly boy JUMP, where he works, has faintly overpowered the other two in terms of comprehensive strength.
According to his judgment, there are only three at this time, no! As long as there is a manga that carries the handle, then Weekly Shonen JUMP can beat the other two.
At that time, the sales of Weekly Shonen Jump would surely become the first of the three major weekly shonen manga, and finally break this three-legged situation.
I have to say that Jiichiro Hirakawa's judgment was correct.
Because if Xia Qiu waits here, he will also praise his judgment. The answer is very simple, in this Conan's world, although these three major comics exist, they really lack some pillars that can be used as handles.
As far as the manga of world civilization is concerned, Shueisha Weekly Shonen JUMP is missing Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruto.
Kodansha Weekly Shonen Magazine lacks Kanedaichi's juvenile incident book. Shogakukan's weekly boy Sunday is the worst, missing Detective Conan.
The absence of Conan in the world of Conan has to be said to be a very interesting thing.
There is also Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book, this one is the same as Conan, although it is also a detective comic, but in terms of depth, Conan is afraid that he can't catch up.
Of course, it's a long way off.
As far as the manga is concerned, although he knows what it is missing, Jiichiro Hirakawa knows deeply that for a good manga, it is unattainable.
To this end, he usually works overtime and reviews a large number of manuscripts, and although he finds some excellent comics, they are not up to the kind he wants.
"Is that the end of it?" Jiichiro Hirakawa leaned back in his chair a little decadently. While the spirit was relaxed, a wave of exhaustion also came up from the bottom of my heart.
To be honest, after two years of work, his dream is no longer as simple as a dream.
Because he is about to get married, if he is still trapped in the position of editor, he will not be able to give happiness to his beloved after marriage.
In this case, he became more and more eager to turn his dream into reality. In that case, not only will his status rise with the tide, but his position can also be raised.
Especially the editor-in-chief who has been pressing on his head and has a big belly, since he was promoted to deputy editor-in-chief, he has been suppressed everywhere. Several times he fantasized about teaching the guy a good lesson.
However, it should be impossible. Hirakawa Jiichiro said with a little self-deprecation and loneliness in his heart.
