Of course, those are all things after returning to China.

In short, as long as domestic affairs do not go out of control, Luoyang can be at peace.

In the next few days, Luoyang also paid attention to the news about Endōma. The public provocation in "White Night Journey" did not seem to make Japan's number one mystery writer respond. However, Luoyang was not discouraged, but found it more interesting. .

"Since "White Night Journey" didn't explode you."

"Then "The Devotion of Suspect X" comes out, can you still remain silent?"

Endōma had publicly criticized "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" before, and had a not-so-good relationship with Luoyang. As a person who pursues clear ideas, Luoyang did not mind single-handedly destroying Endōma's Japanese literary world.

…

One week later, Kadokawa Publishing House.

Editor-in-chief Yoshino is sitting in front of the computer reviewing manuscripts.

A young male editor who was intern suddenly knocked on the door and then entered the conference room: "Editor-in-Chief, Theking's new work has been sent over."

A hint of surprise flashed across Yoshino's face when he heard this: "How could it happen so quickly? I'm sure I'm not mistaken. "White Night Journey" is very popular. If his new work is not polished carefully, it may be overshadowed by the light of "White Night Journey", resulting in Just ruin your own popularity.”

Generally speaking, writers don’t publish books very frequently because people’s energy is ultimately limited.

Some writers who can publish one work a month are enough to be called productive writers.

And Luoyang has written a new work in less than half a month since the submission of "White Night Journey". Yoshino will inevitably feel inappropriate. After all, Theking's new book is related to the interests of the magazine and to himself as the editor-in-chief. personal performance.

The male editor said: "It is indeed Theking's work, and it is still a long novel."

Yoshino frowned slightly: "Is he really a newcomer? Hearing that the magazine raised his price, he couldn't wait to earn the royalties?"

He thought so in his heart but did not say it out loud. After asking the male editor to put Theking's new work on his desk, he continued to work.

Time passed bit by bit, and it was 11:20 noon, only ten minutes before getting off work. Yoshino finally dealt with the matter at hand. After stretching, his eyes fell on Theking's new work.

"Suspect X's sacrifice?"

Is this the name of Theking's new work?

Yoshino felt a little weird, but it was undeniable that this other book title also attracted Yoshino's interest. He recalled the scene when he first encountered "White Night Journey", and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of expectation——

I’m not asking you to surpass “White Night Journey”, just don’t make too much difference all at once!

This is Yoshino's request for Theking's new work. Because in his many years of publishing career, Yoshino has seen too many unparalleled brilliance that eventually became short-lived.

Therefore, even if Theking's works after "White Night Walk" become mediocre, Yoshino will not be surprised at all, because this is the norm in the industry. A newcomer becomes famous with one book, then disappears with the second book, and then never comes back. climb up……

"Watch for ten minutes first, just in time to get off work."

Opening the title page, Yoshino read this work called "The Devotion of Suspect X".

[At 7:35 in the morning, Shi Shen left the apartment as usual.

Although it was already March, the wind was still quite cold. He buried his chin in his scarf and walked out. Before walking onto the road, he glanced at the bicycle parking lot. There were a few cars there, but there was no green bicycle that he cared about.

Walk about twenty meters south and you will come to the main road, which is Xindaqiao Road. If you go left, that is, eastward, you will go towards Edogawa Ward, and if you go west, you will go to Nihonbashi. In front of Nihonbashi Bridge is the Sumida River, and the bridge across the river is the New Ohashi Bridge.

To get to Shi Shen's workplace, walking south is the shortest route. Just walk a few hundred meters and you will reach Kiyosumi Garden. The private high school in front of the park is where he works. In other words, he is a teacher, teaching mathematics...]

Yoshino can read quickly, which is not to say that he is not serious. In fact, reading manuscripts quickly is a basic skill for an editor.

As the editor-in-chief, Yoshino was naturally not slow in reading the manuscripts. Of course, although he turned the pages quickly, the plot at the beginning of "The Devotion of Suspect X" still clearly appeared in Yoshino's mind.

The same writing style as "White Night Journey", this was Yoshino's first reaction.

As an editor or even the editor-in-chief of a magazine, I undoubtedly have a more thorough understanding of things like work style than the average person.

Of course, writing style is relatively unimportant.

In mystery novels, the storyline is the most important thing.

Time passed bit by bit, and the sound of turning pages sounded from time to time in the editor's office.

As the plot progressed, Yoshino's plan to read for ten minutes was forgotten, and Yoshino read slower and slower.

And his expression changed from relaxed at the beginning to relatively serious. The plot of "The Devotion of Suspect

Two hours later, the watch on Yoshino's wrist pointed to 1:30, and he finally finished watching this new work called "The Devotion of Suspect X".

"Theking..."

"Theking..."

"Theking..."

Yoshino stood up and murmured softly.

No one knows what kind of thought storm he just experienced in "The Devotion of Suspect X"!

Yoshino has always believed that the happiest moment as an editor is to be able to see a work that has the potential to become famous nationwide before ordinary readers.

It is almost every editor's instinct to dig it out and let it shine with its own brilliance. After all, no one can bear to see a real famous pearl covered in dust.

Recalling the ending of the story, Yoshino was filled with emotions for a moment - Ishigami killed an innocent man to pretend to be his dead husband for the woman he had a crush on, and carefully created an obviously fragile but irrefutable alibi. The perfect trap.

He shouldered everything on his own, and in the end would rather ruin his reputation and just want her to be well.

However, in the end she surrendered, and all the truth was revealed. She loved her so deeply and without regrets, she was willing to kill for you, and she laid the most exquisite trap to silently bear everything for you. This is the shocking finale of "The Devotion of Suspect X"!

As for telling the reader the truth at the beginning, how do you continue?

This mystery novel called "The Devotion of Suspect X" can tell you the best answer!

I have never seen a mystery novel that can describe deception to this extent, and I have never seen a mystery novel that can describe love to this extent!

Yoshino could still remain calm on the surface, but he was already applauding in his heart. He was sure that "The Devotion of Suspect Branches!

It doesn’t matter whether Theking is a newcomer or an old-timer.

Being able to write classic mysteries such as "White Night Journey" and "The Devotion of Suspect X" at the same time is definitely an extremely terrifying existence!
