Chapter Eighty-Nine: Signature of Normal Operation Exceptions
Soon, everyone came to the publishing house of the literary era.
Although it was late, the lights were still on in the publishing house, and it was clear that they were all working overtime.
The group successfully found the editor in charge of the serialization of the new name Rentaro, a tall middle-aged man, and when the other party heard the meaning, he smiled and said: "Yes, the manuscript of the new name teacher will come on time every week!" It's Saturday tonight, and I think he'll be able to get his manuscript in there soon! As he spoke, the editor glanced at the watch on his wrist.
Mori Kogoro asked, "Are you sure that the manuscripts that were sent were really written by the new teacher?" ”
"Yes," the editor laughed, "although it was typed by a word processor, the font was exactly the same as the one used by the teacher, and the teacher would sign it next to the title every time!" Well, I'll show you the manuscript that the new teacher sent me before! ”
"Okay, thank you!" Mori Kogoro hurriedly thanked him.
Soon, the editor took out all the original manuscripts that the new name Rentaro had previously sent out and showed them to Kogoro Mori.
Mori Kogoro looked at the manuscript and said, "Oh? The name of this novel is "The Apex of 1/2", and it does have his signature on it! ”
Mori Kogoro picked up the manuscript and looked at the signature carefully, then turned to look at Shinna Kahori, and asked, "Miss Shina, can you confirm that the handwriting of this signature is from Shinna Sensei?" ”
"Yes!" Shina Kaori nodded and said, "When I came here before, I had already confirmed that this was indeed my father's handwriting!" ”
When the editor heard the words of the new name, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xiangbaori, I think the new teacher must have been too involved in writing novels, so he forgot to contact you, in fact, there are many writers like him!" ”
After listening to the other party's words, although the new name Kaori didn't say anything, she pursed her lips, and her face didn't ease at all.
Xiaolan looked at the expression of the new name Xiang Baoli and said, "But Mr. Editor, the new name teacher and his wife forgot to contact Miss Xiang Baoli, it seems that this is unlikely, right?" ”
Hearing Xiaolan say this, the editor also frowned, obviously, he also felt that this matter was a bit unreasonable, and said: "It makes sense for you to say that!" ”
Taku Yamamoto didn't speak, reached out and took the manuscripts, looked at them, he was a little tired today, and he wanted to go home and sleep quickly......
After all, he really hasn't read the new novel "1/2 Apex" by the new name Ren Taro, but the previous one was made into a TV series, and she still likes it, so it's inevitable that she will be a little curious about this new novel.
Mori Kogoro continued to ask, "Mr. Editor, do you think there is anything unusual about the new teacher?" ”
"Unusual circumstances?" The editor asked rhetorically.
Mori Kogoro prompted, "For example, you should have met before, right?" What was it like then? ”
"Yes, we did meet before the serialization and had a cursory conversation about the novel," the editor nodded, frowned again, and said, "But I don't think there's anything wrong with it!" ”
"Even if it's a small thing, can you think of anything?" Kogoro Mori continued to lead.
The editor touched his chin and thought for a long time before saying: "If there is really something wrong, it should be the re-serialization of this detective left text series!" ”
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro was stunned.
Others were also surprised to look at the past, what's so strange about the new name Rentaro continuing to serialize this detective left text? To say that if there is really something wrong, it is that this novel is re-serialized? That's a bit weird, isn't it?
The editor also saw everyone's doubts and explained: "Actually, we started asking the teacher to write the new story of this series four years ago, but the teacher's answer has always been 'The left text has long been dead, He couldn't come back to life', since he said so, we had to give up, but two months ago, Mr. Shina suddenly called and said that he wanted to start writing stories about the left text again, and asked if we could publish them in the magazine, which of course was something we couldn't ask for, so we quickly stopped the new serialization work and started publishing new stories in the left text series written by the new teacher. ”
"I see." Mori Kogoro understood, and then asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
The editor thought for a while, remembered one more thing, and said: "Ah, after you say this, there is really such a thing, but this matter has nothing to do with the teacher himself, that is, he wrote this paragraph at the beginning of the story, 'Attention of the famous detectives of the whole country, if you want to be above my wisdom, please solve the mystery of this story!'" ’”
Maori Kogoro was slightly surprised: "This passage is full of provocation! ”
Takuya Yamamoto narrowed his eyes slightly. I hate this kind of person the most......
"yes!" The editor smiled: "Because of this, we received a lot of calls and letters in the first issue of the serial, such as the guy is very suspicious, what is the method of the prisoner, and so on, so I am very happy from the position of the publishing house!" However, I still think it's a bit unusual for someone as gentle as a new teacher to do such a thing, but this time it's the latest series that mystery fans have been looking forward to for ten years, and it's not surprising that the latest series that has been published with great difficulty. ”
"Is that the expectation so high?" Kogoro Mori asked.
"Yes," the editor said, "about half a year ago, there was a more radical fan who said that if we didn't re-serialize, they would set fire to our publishing house, and we received a lot of harassing calls like this!" ”
"Hah, that's it! This person is too radical, right? Mori Kogoro understood.
Taku Yamamoto pondered silently, his eyes unconsciously fell on the original manuscript in his hand, radical ...... A fan of someone...... Is it? But isn't it normal in Japan? He's been in danger of that......
"Huh? Wait a minute! Taku Yamamoto suddenly noticed something unusual and began to quickly flip through the manuscript...
"Sure enough, there's something wrong with this signature..."Taku Yamamoto found that the signatures at the beginning were more or less different, but the subsequent signatures turned out to be exactly the same...
Takuto Yamamoto just wanted to tell everyone about his discovery, but suddenly thought that he had also thought that it was too troublesome to sign the chapter and make a direct copy of his signature, and felt that all this was normal, so he shut up and was not ready to say it. However, his strange appearance was still noticed by Xiaolan next to him, so he asked, "Cousin, have you found anything?" ”…
