Chapter 62 Chi Yan’s counterattack

"I have something to ask Teacher Zhang." Chi Yan spoke with a somewhat alienated tone, "In the postscript of "The Third Person" III, you mentioned that every book will have a small easter egg, and the combination of these easter eggs It sounds like it’s actually a hidden case. So, have you left any easter eggs in the new book?”

As soon as Chi Yan finished asking the question, a heated discussion broke out in the crowd.

"Yes, yes, I told my friends after reading the new book that there seems to be no hint of a hidden case this time!"

"Yup……"

"Zhang Yida, what's going on? Have you forgotten that every book will bury clues to hidden cases, or do you have other new plans?"

The people who came to the book signing were all loyal readers of "The Third Person". Before the new book came out, they had discussed the hidden case online. Now someone suddenly asked related questions, and of course they all looked at the stage eagerly. The original work is waiting for the answer to be revealed.

Zhang Yi was suddenly stunned. To be honest, there were too many things going on recently, and he hadn't read the newly released books at all.The questions reporters asked during interviews were drafts given by the editor early in the morning...

He couldn't answer Chi Yan's question at all.

He hesitated and looked at the editor beside him as if asking for help.

——Unexpectedly, the editor was also a little confused.

"Yes, there is a new plan." Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment, then quickly put on a professional fake smile, "Every time after the book is released, everyone seems to pay more attention to the hidden cases in addition to the case itself... The story in the new book is It’s a story that I like very much, and I didn’t want to steal the limelight by hiding the case, so I made the decision privately.”

"As for the hidden case... the answer will be revealed in the next book." Zhang Yi added.

"That's it." Chi Yan seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice reached the ears of the readers accurately. "I thought there were no easter eggs because the hidden case was over."

"After all..." He raised his head and stared at Zhang Yi, looking at him with a half-smile. "The victim in the last case in the previous book left a small clue that he was the murderer."

"Look, what I said is right!" A fat man next to him suddenly pushed the person next to him, "Did I tell you when I finished reading the last book that the author used the Spring and Autumn style of writing this time? The murderer hiding the case is revealed in a subtle way!”

"Yes, yes, half a maple leaf tattoo on my wrist!"

"The symbol of the black rose in the bookshelf!"

"Ah! It's really like this..."

"By the way, in the first case of the new book, when the male protagonist appears, he is worshiping the girl named Xiao Wei in the cemetery. Isn't she the dead victim in the hidden case?"

"Yes, yes! When the second male lead went to find the male lead, he also said that Xiao Wei can finally rest in peace!"

"This is clearly a subtle hint that the case has been closed."

Zhang Yi didn't expect this at all. He listened to the words of the people in the audience and broke into a cold sweat nervously.

"Wait a minute!" Someone in the crowd asked, "Zhang Yida, our guess is right! Otherwise, why did the second male lead say that at the beginning of the new book?"

"Then what does it mean when you just said that the murderer will be revealed in the next book? Has the case not been solved? Impossible! That's not..."

Zhang Yi didn't expect that Chi Yan's few words would arouse so many questions.

As the declared original author, he didn't know how to answer the readers' questions for a while.

Chi Yan stared into Zhang Yi's eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

The editor was also panicked. Chi Yan had mentioned it to her before about hiding the easter egg, but he didn't pay any more attention to it at that time.

The crowd exclaimed.

"Could it be that... the ghostwriting incident was not groundless?!"

"It can not be?"

"Oh my god! It's impossible! I used to quarrel with others online because of this. I...if it were true...wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face!!"

The ghostwriting incident that had been silent once again stirred up a stir in Chi Yan's few words, leaving Zhang Yi at a loss.Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, the editor hurriedly said loudly: "Thank you all for coming to today's autograph session. We specially prepared a poster signed by Zhang Yi for everyone." As he spoke, he motioned to his colleagues to hurry up. Give out the posters to change the topic, "Then, in order to express our gratitude to all readers, we have a new news to announce here. - That is, the "Third Person" series will come to an end for the time being, because Zhang Yi Next, we will bring you a brand new suspenseful story, I hope you will pay more attention to it."

"What does it mean to come to an end temporarily? Is this series no longer going to be written?"

"Why don't you write?"

"No, but I have another story that I am eager to share with you. The seventh book in the "Third Person" series will be restarted after the new story is released." Zhang Yi quickly understood what the editor meant, and he immediately Following the editor's words, only other topics that can attract more attention can temporarily stop readers from discussing the ghostwriting incident.

Apparently, they did.

Not long after, Zhang Yi was trending on Weibo again. This time, the title was that the well-known writer Zhang Yi announced the suspension of the "Third Person" series at a book signing...

Of course, along with hot searches, there are also ghostwriting incidents.

After the autograph session, Zhang Yi did not leave, but found Chi Yan angrily.

In the warehouse, Zhang Yi looked very unhappy, "What do you mean? You agreed to become a gunman yourself, and you also got the royalties, and now you suddenly dismantle me in front of the readers?"

Chi Yan was too lazy to pay attention to him. If he hadn't embarrassed Xiao Xiu at that time, Chi Yan would not have stood up to embarrass him.

The more Chi Yan behaved like this, the angrier Zhang Yi became. He picked up the drink on the table and drank it. After drinking, he continued to pester Chi Yan: "Don't think that I don't know the purpose of doing this. "

"Isn't it just because your mother abandoned you and married my dad that you hold a grudge against me?" A sarcastic smile flashed across Zhang Yi's lips, "You don't want your own son, you lick your face. Entering our family, if she hadn’t taken good care of me, my stepson, over the years, how could she have a place in my family?”

"Chi Yan, Chi Yan." Seeing Chi Yan's expression change, Zhang Yi became even more proud, "The mother you have worked so hard to keep, but you still greet me, your stepson, every day..."

Chi Yan pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes gradually darkened.

But suddenly-

"Bam—"

Chi Yan watched helplessly as Zhang Yi fell straight behind him...

Xiao Xiu and the publishing editor finished packing their things and saw this scene as soon as they came in.

"Chi Yan~ Are you okay!" Xiao Xiu passed directly over Zhang Yi who was lying down and ran towards Chi Yan.

"Zhang Yi! Zhang Yi!" The editor of the publishing house looked pale and shouted to his colleagues at the door, "Call 120! Call 120 quickly!"

Soon, the ambulance came and Zhang Yi was carried away...
