Two days later, Momoka Kamiya saw Eiji Sakurada when she was attending an academic exchange meeting, and the two chatted for a while, and Eiji Sakurada suddenly talked about Kei Fujiwara.

"By the way, that famous writer, Fujiwara-sensei, does Kamiya-sensei know him?"

"I've met once, Shirai-kun ......" Kamiya Momoka subconsciously paused, Eisi Shirai was her boyfriend, and now it was an open secret, and there was nothing to hide, but after all, in this somewhat conservative social environment, middle-aged people always have a sense of shame when they fall in love again.

"Matsuhi Pictures is working on the film project of "White Night Walking", and I met under his recommendation." Momoka Kamiya said, "What's wrong? Professor Sakurada?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the old man likes Fujiwara-san's works very much, and when I heard that he was only 24 years old, I was very surprised and wanted to meet him."

"It's ...... like this," Momoka Kamiya said, there is nothing wrong with this, with the social influence of my teacher Sakuradabe, it is not easy to meet a junior in the literary world.

"I'm really bothering you, I've suddenly become like a child at my age." Eiji Sakurada smiled helplessly, "The reasoning you gave him last time, he liked it very much, and it was painful to watch at night, which frightened the nurse, for fear that he would be emotional."

Momoka Kamiya was startled, thinking that Eiji Sakurada was here to investigate, so she hurriedly asked, "Hey, Sakurada-sensei is okay?"

Eiji Sakurada hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry, I'm exaggerating......

The advent of "The Devotion of Suspect X" once again dropped a bombshell in the mystery world. Even many well-known mystery writers are recommending this book, for example, Junyama Hattori, who once awarded the Naoki Award to Kei Fujiwara, half a month after the publication of "The Devotion of Suspect X", when participating in a TV show, when the host asked when the new work would be published, he said:

"Heck, writing is hard work after all, and I'm old after all, so the idea of retirement has been on my mind for a few years. But I have not made up my mind to retire, mainly because the readers who feel sorry for me, maybe they haven't read enough of my work, so they just take a break for a year or two, pick up the pen again, and write until I can't hold the pen."

"But this thought, knowing that two days ago, after watching Fujiwara-kun's new work "The Devotion of Suspect X", disappeared without a trace. It's really scary for a newcomer now, how long has it been since she debuted to be able to write such a work...... After reading this book, I'm not too embarrassed to write a new book, so forget it, haha."

Hattori Junyama said this kind of thing, there must be a lot of modesty, his status in the world of speculative literature is no less than the status of Shimada Shoji in parallel time and space, but it is precisely because of such a high status that no matter what he says, he will not appear timid, but it is a kind of virtue to support the younger generations.

Of course, some readers said that this was Hattori Junzan's behavior to excuse his addiction to mahjong. This old thing hasn't had a new book for several years, but he's a regular visitor to a mahjong parlor in Tokyo, and last year he took the first place in a mahjong contest held by the Tokyo Writers' Circle, and the prize was a brand new electric mahjong table.

….

The good reviews of critics and senior writers, as well as the reading of the book by readers who had already read it, contributed to the good reputation of "The Devotion of Suspect X," which had already sold well under the celebrity effect of Kei Fujiwara, and as a result, the market response became even better.

The sales rankings of major bookstores have not changed much for four consecutive weeks, almost all of them are "Hanzawa Naoki" ranked first, and "The Devotion of Suspect X" ranked second. However, in just over this month, the gap between the two books has narrowed and narrowed, and "The Devotion of Suspect X" has a tendency to surpass "Naoki Hanzawa".

There is more discussion on the Internet about "The Devotion of Suspect X", not only because the reasoning is already discussed and topical, but also because "Naoki Hanzawa" has been discussed almost after the TV series is broadcast, so the enthusiasm for the version discussion is not so strong.

"I really didn't expect the ending, the identity of the murderer explained at the beginning can still be so surprising at the end, Sima Guitai, the author of reasoning...... It's just too strong.

」

"I read this book, I didn't sleep well all night, and I felt a very sad mood. That emotion held my heart like a big hand, and whenever I was about to fall asleep, it squeezed it so hard that it made me feel very painful. The last time I watched "White Night Walking", I felt this way, but this time it was even stronger than the last time."

"That's right, although Yukiho Karasawa and Ryoji Kirihara are also pitiful, they are bad people, which weakens my sympathy for them to a certain extent. But Tetsuya Ishigami is different, he is really a very good man, although he also kills people......

"I hope I'm the one who rings the doorbell of the stone god house that day, and I like this kind of honest, calm, and intelligent man."

"He dares to kill, can he still be considered an honest man...... Even though it's just a character in it, I still think it's better for people not to empathize with this kind of criminal character."

"Ishigami is a good man, he must have apologized to the deceased, so don't blame him anymore."

"I have to say that Mr. Sima Guitai is more like an author who is good at writing love than reasoning, whether it is the mutual snuggling of people in the cold night in "White Night Walking", or the unswerving dedication and love until death in "The Dedication of Suspect X", I am afraid that no author in love can compare to him."

"That's right, I don't really like reasoning, I just like to be in love. This book was recommended by my husband to read it, and this book is the best love I've ever seen."

"I'm a big fan of the character of Mitarai, and I don't feel sad to think that Mitarai lost to such an opponent."

"Why did the heroine turn herself in in the end, she was really angry with me, angry with me, angry with me, angry with me, angry with me, angry with me, angry with me......

"That's right, you're going to turn yourself in and go as soon as you get into trouble, and you're going to get on the cute stone god for nothing......

"And the cute homeless ......"

"It's incomprehensible that this book is not selling as well as 'Naoki Hanzawa'."

"I guess it's because of the influence of the TV series."

"I'm angry when I say this! Why didn't Kei Fujiwara concentrate on writing and write those TV dramas that didn't have nutrition? What a waste of his talent!"

"Don't say that...... Kei Fujiwara's TV drama works are also very good, and "Naoki Hanzawa" is also a good ......."

"It's nowhere near as good as 'The Devotion of Suspect X', it shouldn't have such high sales."

"Hmph, I think "Naoki Hanzawa" is better."

Originally, it was just a forum to discuss "The Dedication of Suspect X", but as he spoke, Lou suddenly crooked, and began to discuss which book was better, "The Dedication of Suspect X" or "Naoki Hanzawa", which book was better, and it was also a lot of quarrels. Mystery lovers prefer "The Devotion of Suspect X", but "Naoki Hanzawa" has a huge number of fans, and the battle situation is anxious for a while.
