Nishito Suzuhara looked at the challenge letter and subconsciously clenched his fists.

His fighting spirit was aroused.

I, Nishikito Kushihara, am a top economics student at Okei University! I've been reasoning since I was in middle school, what murder tricks haven't I seen? There are only a handful of tricks that can deceive me!

I don't believe I can't solve the mystery of Asold's murder!

Thinking of this, Nishito took out all the issues of "Spring and Autumn Awards" that he had purchased before. Re-read each chapter and organize the clues.

Keita Sima, I, Nishikito Kushihara, accept your challenge!

Nishikito Gap shouted in his heart, but he was embarrassed to say such a second word.

At the same time, Nanako Toshida also saw this challenge.

She looked at the challenge book, "I sincerely invite you to visit the filming site of "Renzaburo Furuhata" and have dinner together", and her heart suddenly rose with anticipation.

So she took out the old issue and re-read it.

The sales of this issue of "Spring and Autumn Literary Awards" increased by nearly 50,000 copies compared with previous editions, and Sima Guitai's challenge book caused a sensation among speculative readers.

Although it is not uncommon for authors to issue challenges to readers, during the period when reasoning was just beginning and the Bengeist school was prevalent, authors would often write such challenges in their books, informing the reader that all the clues had been given, so that the reader could find the answer before he disclosed the truth.

But this is just a writing technique to interact with the reader, and even if the reader succeeds in the challenge, there is no benefit, but the challenge book in "Astrology Killing Magic" is different.

He's really giving prizes, whoever can find out the answer first, who can visit the filming site of "Renzaburo Furuhata", and invite you to eat.

Sima Guitai, this old boy can handle it!

As a result, mystery enthusiasts began to accept Sima Guitai's challenge book one after another, and they tried to find out the mystery of Assode in the book.

Who killed Umezawa Pingyoshi and who killed the six sisters? And who is the one who dismembered the body? Is it the same person who does all these things? What is the purpose of this?

In fact, it is not difficult to solve a puzzle, especially in the age of the Internet. No matter how difficult the problem is, as long as there is an answer, it will definitely be found out with the collective wisdom and efforts.

However, in this world, the Internet is not yet popular, online forums are only a community of a few people, and the reasoning enthusiasts who participate in the discussion also have evil intentions for each other. After all, there are only ten people who can get the challenge reward, and the more one person finds the truth, the less chance he has to be.

At the reasoning forum, "Everyone, you can actively express your opinions on the mystery of Asold, and we will definitely be able to succeed in the challenge!"

"That's right, I hope you can share some of the things you reasoned about."

"You share first."

"Well, I don't have a clue right now."

"Neither do I."

"Where's Lantern-kun? Did he disclose his modus operandi and the identity of the murderer as usual?"

"Hehe, you think he's stupid, it's different now, even if he solves it, he won't say it."

And "Lantern-kun" Nishito Sugahara looked at these discussions on the forum, and was a little impatient for a while.

He still hasn't solved the mystery of Assord in the book, but every night and one day, his hopes of making it into the top ten are slim.

Under the tactics of crowds, there is no such thing as an unsolvable puzzle, and the power of the masses must not be underestimated. As long as all the clues are given, in front of thousands of mystery readers, no puzzle will last more than two weeks.

Although readers have their own selfish intentions, they will not easily exchange ideas, which may prolong the time to solve problems. However, as a student at Okei University, Nishikito was not a conceited person, and he knew that there were many smart people in this world, and perhaps someone had solved the mystery of Assod and sent the letter to the editorial office.

He had been challenged by the author so many times before, and this was the most nervous he had ever been, and he felt both nervous and excited when he thought that there might be thousands of readers involved in solving the puzzle in the whole book, and he felt like he was preparing for the exam for Yingqing University back then

feelings.

"Ding." Then the doorbell rang, "Excuse me, we're from a pizzeria, did you just call to order the pizza?"

It was a delivery from the pizza shop downstairs, and he had just called to order it. Nishikito Kushihara walked to the door, took the pizza, paid for it, and planned to think about it while eating.

However, after opening the pizza box, Nishikito Sakuhara, who has always been sensitive to portions and prices, couldn't help but be stunned.

Today's pizza seems to be a little smaller than what you used to buy?

……

"My baby Nanako, I'm going to bake pizza, what flavor do you want." Shinyo Ogata asked, putting on his apron and poking his head out of the kitchen.

"Nanako?" Seeing that Nanako Toshimoda was silent, Shinyo Ogata called again.

"Excuse me, what were you talking about?" Nanako Toshida only reacted at this time, and raised her head to look at Ogata Shinyo.

"Hmm...... Really dedicated? Is it that hard? The puzzle?" Shinyo Ogata asked.

Nanako Toshida shook her head: "Anyway, I can't think of an answer, Mr. Keita Sima gave a lot of clues, but after I sorted out these clues, I don't know which ones are the key clues, and which ones are specially written to confuse me."

"Every time I feel like I've grabbed something, but when I open my hand, there's nothing in my palm."

Nanako Toshida looked a little frustrated.

Shinyo Ogata walked over and slapped the magazine on the table with a "snap" as Nanako Tokada wrote a "clue" full of paper and the magazine spread out on the table.

"Don't worry about this, if your blood sugar supply is insufficient, your IQ will also drop, so let's eat first!" Shinyo Ogata said loudly, "I'm going to bake pizza, whatever flavor you want, I'll bake it for you."

"It's tuna, thank you Mayo." Nanako Toshida said with a smile.

"You're welcome, I'll give you more tuna." Shinyo Ogata turned around and walked back to the kitchen.

Mayo Ogata's family runs a pizzeria, so he is very good at baking pizza and can make a lot of pizza with various flavors. Nanako Tokada every time she comes to her house, she bakes a delicious pizza for her.

Nanako Tokada looked down at the magazine in front of her and sighed.

The cover of this issue of "Spring and Autumn Awards" is a comic with the theme of "Genius Detective Mitarai", which is about Mitarai stuffing banknotes into a shredder, and the banknotes are shredded into paper tapes and spit out.

Nanako Toshida didn't care about the content of the manga, and continued to look at the clues of "Astrology Killing Magic", and now it has been nearly a week since Sima Keita issued a challenge, and in another week, the answer will be revealed, and then she will have no chance at all.

Nanako Toshida sighed, she really wanted to go to the filming site of "Renzaburo Furuhata" to see it.

But there is still no clear idea.

After putting the pizza in the oven, Shinyo Ogata walked out of the kitchen with gloves on and thought with Nanako Tokata.

After a while, the oven in the kitchen made a "ding" sound, and Shiyo Ogata quickly ran into the kitchen and brought out the steaming pizza.

"Here comes the pizza."

Fragrant pizza is served on the table, and the aroma goes straight to the nostrils.

Nanako Tokada picked up the knife that cut the pizza and tried to cut the pizza, but the first knife was not accurate, and it seemed that the cut was a little crooked.

The pizza is split in two, one big and the other small.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's crooked." Nanako Togata apologized.

"It's okay." Shinyo Ogata looked at the pizza and suddenly smiled, "Hehe, Nanako, I'll do a magic trick for you."

With that, she brought the pizza into the kitchen, and soon it came out again. The pizza has been cut into eight small pies of the same size. Nanako Toshida was a little surprised, because she had just accidentally cut one side bigger, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be so neat......

"How did you do that?" Tana Toga

Nako asked, looking up.

"Dangdang, dang." Mayo Ogata took out another plate, and a rectangular pizza was placed on the plate.

"That's how I used to eat my family's pizza when I was working at my family's pizzeria." Shinyo Ogata laughs, "Before cutting the pizza, cut a small strip in the middle of the pie, and then put the remaining two halves together and cut it into eight pieces, so that the guests can't see it."

"Glutton." Nanako Toshida said with a smile.

"A lot of pizza shop employees steal food like this, and that's what others taught me." Shinyo Ogata shrugged, "That way, for every six pizzas sold, I can steal a whole portion, and it's six flavors, haha......

Shinyo Ogata was just casually sharing his tips for stealing food, but Nanako Toshida was stunned when she heard this.

For a moment, it was as if a lightning bolt had passed through her mind, and she was looking at the clues on the paper, as if they were all connected.

Looking at the banknotes that were cut into strips on the cover of this issue of "Spring and Autumn Literary Awards", it turned out that the editorial department had given a hint early.

"Six corpses, it turned out to be six pizzas, no, five ......," Nanako Toshika muttered.

"Huh? What do you say?" Ogata asked, puzzled.

"I see, I see what's going on!" Nanako Toshida excitedly grabbed Mayo Ogata's shoulders and shook her whole body, "It turns out that Asood's murder is like this! I can think of this method, Mr. Sima Guitai is an out-and-out genius!"
