"Sister Qing, the editor-in-chief is looking for you." Someone knocked softly at the door. Liang Qing got up and straightened her skirt, and walked lightly towards the office at the other end of the corridor. "Editor-in-Chief Ji, are you looking for me?" Liang Qing pushed the door and entered, and saw the back of a head with sparse hair facing her.

"You're here," the man in the seat turned, his eyes narrowed into two slits with a smile on his round face, "The reaction to yesterday's news was not very strong." ”

"Is it......" Liang Qing was a little jealous of the person in front of him, seeing that the smile on his face was a little deeper, and some cold sweat broke out in his palms, explaining: "The report about this kind of 'inaction' may be a bit far-fetched. ”

The man's narrowed eyes stared at her for a long time: "With your influence, it is unreasonable to splash this little splash." Or, slacking off at work? He dragged out the outburst, and there was a terrible silence in the office.

"I haven't dug up any weighty material in the past few days, but I promise ......" Liang Qing was interrupted by the editor-in-chief before she finished speaking, "I can give you one here." He pulled a book from the bookshelf behind him and threw it on the table.

Liang Qing picked up the book, "W's Sanctions", this book seems to be a best-selling novel nowadays. The editor-in-chief nodded: "I received news here that there is a young man in Y City who is imitating the modus operandi in this novel, and you can make a fuss about it." "But......" Liang Qing hesitated slightly, but swallowed back the words on his lips and replied, "Okay, I promise to satisfy you." The editor-in-chief waved her out, and the fat hand tossed the book on the table into the trash.

Liang Qing returned to the office, and the mouse opened a folder on the computer, which was full of information about the author of "W's Sanctions" and the background of the youth in Y City mentioned by the editor-in-chief. She snorted coldly in her nose, "This modus operandi has to be related to novels, it's not impossible, what can I not do?" Star Swirl gasped, this guy seemed to have his eye on the best-selling author, and it was disgusting to think about making a fuss about people with events that were not exactly related.

Liang Qing picked up the phone and dialed the number to go out: "Hey, hello." I'm Liang Qing, a reporter I've been in contact with you before, so can you learn about the original intention of the novel and some details of it, so that you can make an appointment to meet in the near future? The other side seemed to agree very happily, and Liang Qing set the meeting time for the afternoon a day later.

After putting down the phone, Liang Qing started a discussion on the topic of the modus operandi of young people in Y City imitating novels on her blog, and she switched to different accounts to post, but none of them were hers. More than an hour later, the popularity of the topic skyrocketed, and it was also reposted by several big Vs, and the comments were even more dizzying. "Let's wait for the real hammer." Liang Qing smiled and closed the computer.

Liang Qing got off work very early, returned to her apartment in the evening to pack her luggage for a business trip, and she was going to take the train early tomorrow morning to Y City to interview the novel writer. Speaking of which, the young man who committed the crime is also in Y City, so if you have enough time, you can go to the interview together. Liang Qing made an abacus in her heart and fell asleep safely. Star Swirl looked out the window at the overcast sky and sighed, "It's scary to control the direction of public opinion, it's not so much a pen in your hand as a sharp blade. ”

When the sky was bright, Liang Qing got up and tidied up and prepared to go out. After looking at the gloomy sky, he took out a dark blue umbrella from the cabinet: "Hey, it's really lazy people who don't go out." It wasn't appropriate for her to describe herself, and Star Swirl pouted to herself, this person shouldn't be too diligent for utilitarian purposes. Hopping on the train, Liang Qing put on her headphones and listened to the music for a while, her appearance of not feeling the slightest pressure about what she had to do today really made Star Swirl staggered.

A few hours later, the bullet train stopped at the station in Y City, and Liang Qing got off the train with her suitcase. After leaving the station, she stopped a taxi and went straight to the meeting place, and received a call on the way: "What? Want to change the meeting location? Okay, I'm on my way right now, I'll be right over. For some reason, the writer temporarily changed the place of meeting, and although Liang Qing had some doubts, he still arrived at the temporarily agreed place.

This is a tea room in a remote area, Liang Qing pushed open the glass door, and there were only a few guests inside. The waiter greeted him and asked, "How many people are there?" Liang Qing replied, "Mr. Cao's reserved room." The waiter stretched out his hand and pointed to the second floor and said, "Please follow me upstairs." "Go up the narrow staircase and stop in front of the door of a box," Miss, Mr. Cao is inside. The waiter went downstairs, Liang Qinghu looked around suspiciously, she wondered why she was about to be in such a remote small broken shop, was it afraid of being discovered?

Liang Qing slowly pushed open the door of the box and saw a man sitting inside, wearing a baseball cap with a very low brim. She just leaned in and asked, "Mr. Cao Leiran?" The man inside looked up at her: "Reporter Liang? Seeing the man's face clearly, Liang Qing walked into the box with peace of mind and said with a smile: "I am a little worried that something is wrong when I change here temporarily." "Reporter Liang!" The man suddenly grabbed Liang Qing's hand and startled her, "You must help me!" "You—don't get excited, speak slowly." Liang Qing broke his fingers, took out a voice recorder from his bag, and placed it behind him silently.

"You know, I don't even dare to show my face on the streets of Y City!" The man looked hasty and said, "I don't know who is spreading the word that the boy who committed the murder in Y City is my fan of books on the Internet, imitating the modus operandi in "W's Sanctions"!" ”

Liang Qing said quietly: "Could it be that his family revealed some news to the media?" For example, does the boy really have your novel in his house? The man's pupils constricted suddenly: "Is there any news inside you?" ”

Liang Qing shook his head: "I'm just speculating, otherwise why would the spearhead be aimed at you, after all, you are not the only writer who writes case mystery novels." The man sat slumped in his position: "Y City is such a big place, I don't dare to go back to my house now, I change hotels every day, I am afraid of being found at the door." ”

"It's not that serious, the keyboard warrior won't come to you along the network cable." Liang Qing smiled and waved her hand. "You don't know," the man said in a low voice, "I've been texting me threateningly for the last few days, and I guess it's the child's family." Reporter Liang, you must help me clear my name! ”

"So," Liang Qing cleared her throat and asked, "Can you tell us about the original intention of the creation of "W's Sanctions"?" Do you personally agree with this extrajudicial sanction? "No, I didn't think much about it when I first wrote this novel," the man replied, "but I can't get past the indifference of people in today's society to the inaction of evil forces." ”

Liang Qing continued: "However, some of the techniques in the book are too detailed and violent, have you considered the impact on young people? ”

"This ......," the man pondered, "adults should have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and if you commit a crime just because you read a novel, then there will only be some chicken soup for the soul and fairy tale books on the shelf." We must not avoid 'evil' because of this, but we must face 'evil' and overcome it from our hearts. ”

Liang Qing praised: "Mr. Cao, I think what you said is very good, and everyone will definitely get to know you again." ”
