Tokyo Literary Godfather

The day has finally arrived for the official broadcast of "Naoki Hansawa".

The students who filmed "Suddenly Looking Back" together at Tokyo University of Literature and Art also formed a deep friendship because of their experience of filming movies together and forming a crew.

They have even discussed setting up a crew next year to shoot a film to participate in the peer film festival.

"Looking Back" has had a lasting impact. More and more people have watched the film and are full of praise for the film's concept, plot, and even the language of the shots.

Many filmmakers had high hopes for the film's director, Ono Nagaharu, and were also looking forward to Fujiwara Kei's entry into the film industry to create films.

"Looking Back" once again set off a boom in independent films. Many college students began to plan to create their own independent films. During this time, the sales of cameras on Akihabara Electric Street also increased a lot.

Kei Fujiwara's new work is about to be broadcast, so the gang made an appointment to hold a party at night to watch Fujiwara-senpai's new play while drinking.

Ogata Shinyo and Togata Nanako did not accept the invitation. Togata Nanako took a writing training class for a long time and also wrote many short works. Her writing level improved a lot, so she prepared a full-length novel some time ago. I submitted the outline and the first chapter and finally got the serialization qualification.

Therefore, during this period, I am revising the article over and over again in preparation for the official publication of the work.

Togata Nanako's parents went abroad during this time, so she was the only one living in such a big house. She felt a little scared, so she called Ogata Mayo to sleep with her.

On the evening of Sunday, Ogata Mayo sat at the computer desk and continued to play the love game, while Togata Nanako was writing her novel.

The first chapter has been revised several times under the suggestion of editor Itagaki, and it finally looks good. It will be officially published next week. Togada Nanako is excited and worried at the same time.

What's exciting is that I finally took the first step as a writer - I have my own serialized work. But the worry is, what if the work is not liked by readers? She does not insist on being as loved by readers as "White Night Journey", as long as she does not rank too low in the reader's popularity survey.

After finishing writing a chapter, Togada Nanako opened the latest "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" and turned to the page where "The Devotion of Suspect X" was serialized. She read it again and couldn't help but feel emotional in her heart.

Mr. Fujiwara...is it true that there is no creative slump?

For most creators, it is normal for the level of their works to fluctuate. If one-third of their works in their creative career can be sold well and become recognized as masterpieces, they are already great writers.

As for being recognized for every book... this may be every writer's wish, but wishes often never come true.

"The Devotion of Suspicious Person

The plot of this book is also exciting. It can be said to be the first to catch the reader's attention from the beginning.

From the very beginning, readers are told the identity of the murderer - a middle school mathematics teacher who is frustrated and has suicidal tendencies, but is a mathematical genius on par with Yu Shoujie.

They are obviously the same genius, but one is brilliant, while the other is depressed, which arouses the sympathy of the readers from the beginning. Readers also follow the perspective of this mathematics teacher named Tetsuya Ishigami and enter the plot.

Ishigami Tetsuya has always had a crush on his neighbor's single mother with her daughter, and even makes a special detour to the store where the female neighbor works every day to buy lunch.

He is not good at words and communication, and he has never even thought about developing a romantic relationship with his female neighbor. He just wants to see her every day, and that is enough.

However, one day, a man came to the door and broke this warm and peaceful life.

This man is the ex-husband of the female neighbor’s second marriage, and the daughter is not his child. Because of the bankruptcy, his temperament changed drastically. After the divorce, he often came to harass me and asked for money. If he didn't get the money, he would punch and kick him at every turn.

That day the man came again, and this time in addition to asking for money, he even had an idea for his stepdaughter. Seeing her stepdaughter growing up day by day, he started to make moves.

In order to protect her daughter, the female neighbor made the man angry. During the quarrel, the daughter hit the man on the head with a copper vase. The man was angry. In order to protect her daughter, the woman strangled the man with a wire.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, becoming overwhelmed. Just then, the doorbell rang.

Ishigami Tetsuya's voice came from behind the door: "Miss Hanaoka."

The woman knew that the noise of the murder she had just made had alerted the neighbors, so she ran to open the door. The stone god Tetsuya outside the door had an expressionless face, which was scary.

"I heard a loud noise, what happened?"

"It's...cockroaches...we are fighting cockroaches..."

"Killed?"

When she saw this, Togada Nanako felt numb all over, realizing that Tetsuya, the Stone God, already knew what had just happened in this room.

Sure enough, after the woman left Ishigami Tetsuya perfunctorily, she and her daughter discussed countermeasures. Should she surrender? Or what to do? But once she goes to jail, who will take care of her daughter when she is still young?

Just when the two were at a loss, the phone rang. It was Tetsuya Ishigami calling.

"I wonder how your discussion went."

"I mean, if you call the police, I have no problem with it. If you don't plan on it, I might be able to help."

After some ideological struggle, the mother and daughter accepted the help of Tetsuya Ishigami.

Tetsuya Ishigami dragged the corpse away and began to think about how to deal with the corpse. When the screen turned, the text shot came to the protagonist Mitarai again.

The police discovered an unidentified body by the river, and the investigation reached a deadlock, so they invited the detective who had solved countless cases, hoping to help them find the murderer.

After some investigation, the police's investigation turned to the mother and daughter, but nothing suspicious was found on the mother and daughter. And Mitarai saw his former friend Tetsuya Ishigami.

Tetsuya Ishigami went to meet this former friend, originally just to reminisce about old times, but Tetsuya Ishigami's words aroused Mitarai's vigilance, and completely kicked off the showdown between geniuses.

When we went to buy bento together, Ishigami sighed at the glass window, lamenting that his hair had become thinner. Although Mitarai was calm on the surface, she was surprised inwardly.

In his impression, Ishigami is a person who is not interested in anything other than mathematics. How could he suddenly care about his appearance?

A middle-aged man with a big belly suddenly starts exercising, that is a sign of cheating. That genius who was only interested in mathematics suddenly cared about his image. Does this mean that he has someone he cares about?

This also reminded Mitarai of the mother and daughter who were previously regarded as suspects. He didn't have much interest in this case, but because of Ishigami Tetsuya, he decided to investigate the case.

And this is also the only fatal mistake Ishigami Tetsuya made in this duel of geniuses...

Nanako Togata read the newly serialized chapter again, still feeling unfinished. This book is only halfway through serialization, but it has already gained quite a lot of popularity, ranking first among readers in every issue.

This is not only due to the star power of Kei Fujiwara, but also because the book itself is so exciting.

Kei Fujiwara once again went against the conventional means and informed the murderer's identity from the beginning, concealing only part of the method, allowing the detective and the criminal to begin a wonderful and unusual intellectual game.

And who will win the showdown between the genius detective and the stone god Bodhidharma?

According to common sense, the protagonist cannot lose...

But unfortunately, this Fujiwara-sensei is not a conventional writer.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ogata Shinyo turned on the TV and greeted: "Nanako, come on, Fujiwara-sensei's new drama "Hansawa Naoki" is about to start. Don't you support your Fujiwara-sensei?"

"My Fujiwara-sensei..." Nanako Togada muttered, then stood up and said, "Here he is."
