Chapter 146: The Truth Revealed
The ratings of "Renzaburo Furuhata" have finally revived.
After several episodes in a row, the audience gradually accumulated, because a new celebrity will appear in each episode, which will attract fans of celebrities to the show, and this small feature also injects new blood into the TV series from time to time.
In addition, the challenge letter released by Kei Fujiwara under the name "Keita Sima" not long ago did play a role in fueling the fire, and the ratings report of the latest episode of "Renzaburo Furuhata" showed 25.3%, which is gradually getting closer to the high ratings of the first episode.
The Asahi Shimbun and other newspapers have also published this challenge letter from Keita Sima, and although many writers have sent such challenge letters to their readers, no one has ever caused such a sensation as "Genius Detective Mitarai".
First, because the prize for success in the challenge is very attractive, what mystery fan doesn't want to visit the filming site of the mystery drama in person? And to be able to have dinner with Sima Keita, which is really exciting.
Second, because the mystery of Asold's murder in "Astrology Killing Magic" is indeed very curious, what is the truth?
There are already some people on the Internet who can't help but publish their conjectures, and there are all kinds of statements, but they all have big loopholes, and they are overturned by others all at once.
When all kinds of tricks don't work, some people start to question it.
"Could it be that the final truth is really magic killing?"
"Could it be that Umezawa Hirayoshi really possesses the supernatural power of evil, which still exists even after death, and killed the six sisters."
"Could it be that this is the case, Umezawa Pingji is a person with gender consciousness disorder, he has always wanted to be a female body, so he wanted to create the perfect female body, Asod, as his soul vessel. And he died because he committed suicide, so that his soul could leave his body. It was his detached soul that killed the six sisters, and he not only killed them, but also cut their bodies to make Assood......
"I feel that this may be the truth, brother, have you sent a letter to the editorial department?"
"Not yet, I'll send it now."
Half a minute later, the post disappeared just now, it should have been deleted by the poster, he felt that he had found out the truth, and he didn't want to cheapen others.
"I don't think there's a deliberate killing, or magic killing...... a person said in the forum.
"Why doesn't it exist, this is declension reasoning, anything is possible!"
"Because from the first story "Bandage Monster Villa", Sima Guitai almost wrote that although this story is a declension, everything is in line with the laws of reality, and there will be no supernatural elements."
"But I don't think this murder method can be completed at all......
"Don't underestimate Sima Guitai's trick creation ability, I am a student in the workshop held by the Spring and Autumn Society, and Sima Keita is the strongest trick creator I have ever seen, there is no one. The fact that he is free to share with us the tricks that others regard as treasures shows that he has a high demand for the quality of his tricks."
"If the truth of the final "Astrology Killing Magic" chapter is really magic killing, then "Genius Detective Mitarai" will be the biggest fraud in the world of mystery literature, and I will not buy all of Sima Keita's future works."
β¦β¦
In the midst of all kinds of intensifying discussions, a new issue of "Spring and Autumn Literary Awards" was finally published.
On the day of the magazine's release, Nanako Toshida rushed to the Ono Bookstore near the school early in the morning to buy the magazine, but the clerk told him that today's purchase was a bit slow, and the vehicle that delivered the magazine was still on the road, and it would take half an hour to arrive.
It is estimated that the situation in other bookstores is similar, and Nanako Tokada simply ranks first in the bookstore.
After a while, another young man walked into the bookstore, also to buy "Spring and Autumn Literary Awards", and heard that the clerk said that the magazine was still on the way to be delivered, so he simply waited in the bookstore while reading comics.
In less than five minutes, another middle-aged man walked into the bookstore......
In less than half an hour, there were six or seven more readers in the bookstore waiting in line to buy the "Spring and Autumn Literary Awards".
And that's just the case with one bookstore.
The clerks were a little dumbfounded, what's going on? Although the magazine has sold well before, the readers have never been so motivated.
This is happening in other bookstores in Tokyo, and all readers who are interested in the mystery of Assord are eagerly awaiting to learn the truth about Asold's murder as soon as possible.
Nanako Toshikata, Nishikito Kushihara, and Shinichi Chiba were even more anxious to wait.
After a while, the truck carrying the magazines drove up to the door of the store, and the clerk carried the magazines into the bookstore in stacks, and Nanako Toshida hurriedly stepped forward and spent money to buy the latest issue of "Spring and Autumn Bunshu".
After getting the magazine, she couldn't wait to go home, so Nanako Toshida found a convenience store casually, turned the page of the serialized "Genius Detective Mitarai", and began to read it.
When she saw Mitarai take a few banknotes and turn banknote magic on her friends, Nanako Tokada knew that she had guessed correctly.
When the final truth was revealed, almost the same as her guess, Nanako Toshida felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in her chest.
"And so it was!" Not far away, a boy was also reading a copy of "Spring and Autumn Literary Awards", waving his fists excitedly, and his face turned red.
Seeing him like this, Nanako Rigata also understood, it should be this person who also deduced the mystery of Assode's murder, so he was so excited.
Nanako Tokada felt a little lost, did so many people guess the answer to this mystery? I thought I was awesome. So many people have guessed it, so will the first ten people not have me?
But in fact, this is just survivor bias, and Nanako Toshida coincidentally meets another person who solves the puzzle. There are actually very few people who have really solved the mystery of Assood and guessed the truth to the truth.
After verifying his reasoning, Nishikito Sugahara grabbed a random volume of the magazine in his hand and went home satisfied.
When he got home, he immediately checked the mailbox at the door of his house, there were three letters in it, he opened the letters one by one, only to find that it was either religious propaganda, advertising, or his parents' bills.
Just as he was a little disappointed, there was a bicycle bell behind him.
"Are you the young master of this family? There is your faith." The postman saw Nishikito Kugahara open the mailbox, and after confirming the word "Nishikito" on the door number hanging outside the gate, he handed him the letter.
"Thank you." Nishito Kushihara took the letter from the courier and was excited when he saw that the shipping address on the envelope was Chunqiusha.
After opening the envelope, I saw that it was a handwritten letter, and the person who signed it was Sima Guitai.
"Mr. Nishikito, congratulations on your successful challenge and solving the mystery of Asod. And you were one of the first ten people to send the correct answer to the newsroom."
"In that case, I should also keep my promise. We sincerely invite you to visit the Fukuyamadai headquarters on the first of next month and visit the on-site filming of "Renzaburo Furuhata". In the evening, I will have dinner with you and the other nine victors."
"Respect again."
"Keita Sima."
γYESοΌγ Nishikito couldn't help but shout, he had seen countless reasoning and solved countless tricks, but this was the most rewarding time for him.
