The day before the final selection, the online judging seats of the Neon Mystery Writers Association Award closed the voting entrance, and the total number of votes reached 500,000, which is unprecedented and appalling.

As the oldest award in the neon mystery industry so far, and the highest award for neon reasoning, the Neon Mystery Writers Association Award has received far more attention than most people imagine.

It can be said that if the waist cover of a book reads "Neon Mystery Writers Association Award - Long Form Award", then the book will still be a classic even after another fifty years, and the rewarded works may not necessarily suit everyone's taste, but there is absolutely no parallel import, this is a throne built with one god after another from 1948, and every mystery writer is proud to receive this award.

A prize that can only be won once in a lifetime!

And such an award, which has a long history and is almost equivalent to the history of neon reasoning, has actually changed like a joke, pushing the selection system that has been inherited for more than half a century in an unpredictable direction.

The oldest awards combine the latest technology, and it's like using a coffin board to customize a solid wood keyboard, to paraphrase a veteran mystery writer in the newspaper of these days-

"If Mr. Edogawa knows, I'll have to jump out of the ground and knock your turtle grandson's brain with a pipe!"

There are countless similar comments, and although the attention of this year's Mystery Writers Awards has shocked everyone, this has not stopped them from criticizing this reform.

In this regard, Kenzo Konno, who is in power, is also extremely tough and directly reported back-

"Mr. Edogawa is the father of neon reasoning, who created the history of neon reasoning, and is a first-class pioneer and innovator. If any of you can bring my reform to the Mitsukawa River and let Mr. Edogawa know, he will surely think that I am a righteous son......"

This gentleman sprinkled a large number of words, and he dragged the dead man Edogawa Ranbu to endorse his actions, and he boasted and compared himself to the second place, and every word of his witty and interesting words was impudent.

If it's so literate, of course, Hojo Kyosuke's advice is indispensable, in fact, that counterattack article is from the pen of Hojo Kyosuke, and the two are now completely on the same front, and anyone who wants to attack Konno Kenzo and the Reasoning Association just can't get along with him. However, the ghostwriting fee still has to be charged, and after being the president for so many years, Kenzo Konno has collected a lot of good things. Even Matsumoto Kiyohari and Edogawa Ranbu have a lot of original manuscripts, and Hojo Kyosuke took the opportunity to ask for a few.

This brazen remark has caused a lot of seniors in the literary world to scold more than once, not only in the reasoning world, but also in the serious literary world, and the perennial judge writer of the Naoki Akutagawa Award has also made comments on newspapers and television programs, without exception, they are all saying that Kenzo Konno is acting recklessly in disregard of tradition.

During this period, the major newspapers and weekly magazines can be regarded as living a life of celebrating the New Year every day, and the daily sales are rising a few points or more, and the sales department is happy to come from the sky at home, and sensible newspapers have taken the initiative to increase the remuneration of these writers who participated in the scolding war. Well, yes, although it is not a serious thing to publish, there is still a manuscript fee to be paid, and this is the happy life of a neon writer. On the other side of the sea, only writers could be so happy during the Republic of China.

Readers across the country thought that the scolding battle between Matsumoto Motohiro and Jiraiya Futami stood on their own side of Hojo Kyosuke was exciting enough, and they were laughing at Hojo Kyosuke's direct warning on TV with a stomachache, but they didn't expect that there would be a big drama behind, and Hojo Kyosuke, a newcomer in the literary world, actually dragged many neon literary giants into the water with his own strength, and everyone put down their dignity and threw away their shame and teared it fiercely.

Although he is not a person with discipline, such a direct scolding battle still makes a group of readers addicted to watching it.

Do you understand what the traditions and inherent institutions of this country represent? Lifetime employment is repressing, but why not immigrate? Maybe it's just that ordinary people don't feel too deeply when they look at the five words "lifetime employment system", so in other words, "employees of state-owned enterprises", the two cannot be said to be exactly the same, but can only be said to be basically no different.

It seems that the reform of the review system by the Neon Reasoning Association is just a matter of their enclosure, but it is not.

"Dare to vote online today, will you burn down the Capitol live tomorrow?"

The spark of reform and innovation should be extinguished in the bud, and the Neon Reasoning Association, which is thriving because of the change in the judging system, is like a mirror, revealing the original form of the traditional awards on the other side.

While the organizers of the major awards envy the national attention and credibility of the Reasoning Association, they only feel that they are on fire under their buttocks. Although they don't rely on the general public to raise funds, the publishing houses and magazines behind them need the support of readers, and in the past few days, many people have called or sent letters to ask if they have any plans to reform, and some will quickly open a voting website, and they want to vote for Kyosuke Hojo.

Kyosuke Hojo and Kenzo Konno are not without allies, such as the Honya Grand Prix and a number of emerging awards, taking the opportunity to launch an attack, taking the opportunity to promote their own awards when the people are questioning the traditional awards, not to mention that the effect is really good.

The artistic is still popular, and the literary is still popular, this is an enduring topic. For example, the title of "teacher" seems to be called "teacher" by both manga artists and voice actors, but in fact, these teachers don't dare to call themselves teachers in front of serious literary writers, and they will laugh off their big teeth.

"Weekly Shonen High", as the Bole of Kyosuke Hojo, is also a comic magazine famous for its voting and book system, which will not be outdone, and will be very active in telling them all kinds of innovations to embrace the new era, rubbing a wave of east wind, and also placing an advertisement, suggesting that a mystery comic will be launched after the Neon Mystery Writers Association Awards.

In and out of the words, he almost said that the winner of the big award, Kyosuke Hojo, has prepared a new work, and he is waiting for the award to start the serialization after the award.

Under the watchful eye, the online voting channel of the Reasoning Association Award was officially closed, with a total of 500,000 votes, and the first place was undoubtedly "The Devotion of Suspect X", with 320,000 votes, more than the votes of the other four candidate works combined, showing a cliff-like lead.

The final selection has even officially begun to lock in a crucial vote, and Kyosuke Hojo's fans have already begun to celebrate.

The Neon Mystery Writers Association also celebrates, with two awards, the Edogawa Ranpo Award, which focuses on new writers, and the Mystery Association Awards. Both awards have a tradition of attracting general audiences to the community. Before the age of the Internet, it was to publish information and address in newspapers, and ask people who were interested in watching the award ceremony to send letters to sign up, and they would return with tickets, free of charge. After entering the Internet era, it was much faster and changed to sending emails.

There has always been a rule that if too many people sign up, a lottery will be used, and the staff who used to be responsible for handing out tickets to the people who sent letters were very easy. But this time, the statistics of the letter writer alone made the scalp of the person in charge tingle, and he had to seek help from his colleagues in the technical department. Because there are so many, the identity information of the letter shows that there are even many Chinese, South Korean, and American ...... and other countries.

When the person in charge saw those messages, he thought that someone was playing a prank, but after selecting a few emails to verify, he found that they were all true, and some people directly asked if they could directly pay for tickets, they just wanted to witness the glorious moment of Hojo-sensei's award.

As we all know, diplomacy is no trivial matter, let alone such a long-faced matter. Backward countries have a common problem - admiring the foreign and flattering the foreign. This problem is especially obvious in the citizens of occupied and colonized countries, and Neon, who has received the emperor's "Yuyin Broadcast" declaration of surrender, has broken his spine and then developed under the care of his American father, which is even more vividly brought into full play.

Even if there is no crooked kernel, the audience has to pay to invite a few extras to come, and the force will rise in an instant, not to mention this kind of real fans to watch the ceremony. Doesn't this mean that the influence of their Neon Mystery Writers Association has spread to the world? In the past, the influence of their association was actually good, and the awards and candidates were favored by foreign publishers, but they were mainly from several countries in the Han cultural circle in Asia. The popularity of the words in Europe and the United States is not so high, and it is only spread among mystery fans, far from reaching the same degree of spread as neon and Huaguo.

So as soon as I heard the report of the person in charge, Chairman Kenzo Konno immediately gave instructions to give priority to crooked nuts for tickets, well, the kind of crooked nuts that live in a foreign country, and the kind that don't work in neon. In this way, when waiting for media interviews, it can be more realistic, and it can also add some gold content to Kyosuke Hojo's award. In fact, even if there was no such accident, he had prepared other means to establish his authority.

Just like the Hojo Kyosuke Gang Association is helping himself, and the Kyosuke Kyojo Gang is helping himself, he wants to tell the outside world that the Neon Reasoning Association reward has not only not declined because of his reforms, but has become more and more authoritative.

Even Motohiro Matsumoto, who has been satirizing Kyosuke Hojo, and a group of antique writers who jumped out against the Reasoning Association, all seem to have seen the picture of Kyosuke Hojo winning the award, and they all lamented that he was going to destroy the neon reasoning, and even sat down directly on the Fuji TV program, crying bitterly and saying that he was sorry for Mr. Matsumoto Kiyoshi, and did not protect the neon reasoning prosperous world pioneered by his old man, and asked Master Matsumoto Kiyoshi Zhang to possess him and take Hojo Kyosuke away like a conjuring.

Therefore, Neon's respect for ancestors is really very strange, on the one hand, the tradition is not weighted, and the ten family laws are hung on the wall and the whole family recites three times in the morning and evening. On the other hand, he moved his ancestors out as weapons at every turn, before it was Edogawa Ranbu and now it is Matsumoto Kiyohari, and then I am afraid that I will bring Edgar Allan Poe to fight the landlord together.

Kyosuke Hojo wanted to laugh when he saw it, and he felt as if he saw the monk Jidian holding his arhat golden body to feed the wild buffalo, and laughed loudly.

But Hojo Kyosuke is not a person who doesn't fight back just by being scolded, the ancestor has used this thing, and I will use it too! directly and neatly earned a manuscript fee, and let the editor of "Asahi Shimbun" thank him vigorously.

"The social reasoning created by Mr. Matsumoto Kiyoshi Zhang has realized the popularization of reasoning, so that reasoning can appear in the eyes of more people, so that reasoning has such a special status today, if I am an evil demon and evil god, what is Master Matsumoto Kiyoshi Zhang?

A considerable number of my readers are not simply mystery fans, not because they can enjoy the fun of reasoning and the charm of trickery, but simply like the feelings in my works and the world they describe. This kind of me, as you said, has lowered the threshold of reasoning reading without limit.

However, what is I doing now different from that of Matsumoto Kiyohari? ”

Wanton, flamboyant, wild......

Kyosuke Hojo changed his previous artistic scolding, not humble at all, but full of youthful madness. Especially the last sentence, the confidence that is about to overflow the paper between the lines makes everyone who sees it gasp and feel extraordinary.

Mad! It's so arrogant!

Actually compared to Matsumoto Kiyozhang, this guy is really rampant, and the appearance of the villain is not hidden at all.

Whether it was for money to come to the black Hojo Kyosuke, or the literary bigwig who really wanted to hammer this young man who was too prominent, he was taken aback by Hojo Kyosuke's outburst, so he launched a more fierce attack, and even said that he would go directly to the award venue tomorrow to protest.

Kyosuke Hojo didn't speak again, but posted the video of the last time he wielded a knife and slashed on the TV station, and added another picture.

The picture shows a katana with a sheath of lacquerware-like black wood with light brown lines that resemble lightning bolts. The blade is round in shape and is carved with a maple leaf pattern. Except for the black scabbard, the blade, the handle, and other ornaments are silver.

The copywriting is an introduction: the name of the knife is "Silver", given by my friend Lily, and cast by Mr. Sadaichi Tsukiyama, a treasure in the world, and I have never been tired of wiping it day and night.

Some literary bigwigs who haven't learned to use the Internet have been told about this by their nephews and disciples, and they are trembling with anger, this guy's meaning is not too obvious, just say that if you dare to spoil my good deeds, I will hack you to death, this time it is not a prop knife!

Kenzo Konno and Osaka just laughed when they saw it, saying that if they really scared those old-timers to death, Kyosuke Hojo would be a big sin.

"Friend Lily" hid in the room and laughed so much that she was smug. Because the poster is written with her stage name~

The only problem was that she didn't come home tonight from her chores.

Thank you for the monthly passes, recommended tickets and tips for your support, thank you.
