Tokyo Literary Godfather

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

"By the way, that famous writer, Fujiwara, does Mr. Kamiya know him?"

"I met him once, Shirai-kun..." Momoka Kamiya paused subconsciously. Shirai Eiji is her boyfriend. It is an open secret now. There is nothing to hide, but after all, in Japan, this is a somewhat conservative social environment. Among them, middle-aged people always feel a bit ashamed of falling in love again.

"Matsuni Pictures is working on the film project of "White Night Walk", and I met him once 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. I was very surprised to hear that he was only 24 years old and wanted to meet him."

"In this way..." Momoka Kamiya said, there is no problem. With the social influence of Teacher Sakuradabe, it is easy to meet a junior in the literary world.

"It's really troublesome for you. You suddenly become like a child at such an early age." Sakurada Eiji said with a helpless smile, "He liked the mystery novel you gave him last time very much. He was so painful that he shed tears after reading it at night. The nurse was even frightened, fearing that he would become emotional."

Kamiya Momoka was startled, thinking that Sakurada Eiji was here to investigate, and quickly asked: "Oh, Sakurada-sensei, are you okay?"

Sakurada Eiji waved his hands quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry, I was too exaggerated..."

The release of "The Devotion of Suspect X" once again dropped a blockbuster in the reasoning world. Even many famous mystery authors are recommending this book. For example, Hattori Junshan, who once awarded the Naoki Award to Kei Fujiwara, participated in a TV show half a month after the publication of "The Devotion of Suspect X" , when the host asked when the new work would be published, he said:

"Oh, writing is a very hard physical labor after all. I am old after all, so the idea of ​​retirement has been lingering in my mind a few years ago. But I have never made up my mind to retire, mainly because Readers who feel sorry for me, maybe they haven’t read enough of my works, so I might as well take a break for a year or two, pick up the pen again, and write until I can no longer hold the pen.”

"But this thought disappeared without a trace after I watched Fujiwara-kun's new work "The Devotion of Suspect X" two days ago. The newcomers nowadays are really terrible. How long have they been debuting? To be able to write such a work... After reading this book, I am too embarrassed to write a new book, so I might as well forget it, haha."

When Hattori Junzan said this, he must be very modest. His status in the world of mystery literature is no less than Shoji Shimada's status in parallel time and space. However, precisely because of such a high status, no matter what he says, It 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 Junshan’s behavior to excuse his addiction to mahjong. This old guy hasn’t published a new book for several years, but he is a frequent visitor to a mahjong parlor in Tokyo. Last year, he participated in the mahjong competition held by the Tokyo Writers Circle and won first place. The prize was a brand new electric mahjong table.

The good reviews from critics and senior writers, as well as the readers who have already read it, have contributed to the good reputation of the novel "The Devotion of Suspect X". Originally, this book sold well due to the celebrity effect of Kei Fujiwara, so As a result, the market response became better and better.

The sales rankings of major bookstores have not changed much for four consecutive weeks, with "Naoki Hansawa" ranking first and "The Devotion of Suspect X" ranking second. However, in just over a month, the gap between the two books has become smaller and smaller. "The Devotion of Suspect X" has a tendency to surpass "Naoki Hansawa".

There are more discussions on the Internet about "The Devotion of Suspect , so the enthusiasm for discussing the novel version is not so strong.

"I really didn't expect the ending. The identity of the murderer was explained at the beginning, but it was so surprising at the end. Sima Keita, the mystery author... is really too strong."

"I read this book and couldn't sleep well all night. I felt a very sad emotion. That emotion held my heart firmly like a big hand. Whenever I tried to fall asleep, it Just pinch it hard and it made me feel very painful. I had this feeling the last time I watched "White Night", but this time the feeling was stronger than last time."

"Yes, although Karasawa Yukiho and Kirihara Ryoji are also very pitiful, they are bad people, which weakens my sympathy for them to a certain extent. But Ishigami Tetsuya is different. He is really a good man, although he also killed people... …”

"I hope it was me who rang the doorbell of Shi Shen's house that day. I like this kind of honest, steady, and wise man."

"He dares to kill people, how can he be considered an honest man... Although he is just a character in a novel, I still think it is better for everyone not to empathize with such criminal characters."

"Shi Shen is a good man. He must have apologized to the deceased. Please stop blaming him."

"I have to say that compared to mystery novels, Mr. Sima Keita is more like an author who is good at writing about love, whether it is the cuddling of the hero and heroine in the cold night in "White Night Journey", or the death in "The Devotion of Suspect X" For his undying devotion and love, perhaps no author of romance novels can compare with him.”

"You're right, I actually don't like mystery novels, I only like romance novels. I read this book on the recommendation of my husband. This book is the best romance novel I have ever read."

"I am a loyal fan of the character Mitarai, and it doesn't feel sad to think that Mitarai lost to such an opponent."

"Why did the heroine surrender in the end? I'm so pissed off. I'm pissed off. I'm pissed off. I'm pissed off."

"That's right, if you surrender yourself and go there as soon as the trouble starts, you'll have nothing to do with the lovely Stone God..."

"And the cute tramp..."

"But the sales of this book are not as good as "Naoki Hansawa", which is really incomprehensible."

"It's probably because of the influence of the TV series."

"I get angry when I say this! Why doesn't Kei Fujiwara concentrate on writing novels, but instead writes TV dramas that are nutritious? It's a waste of his talent!"

"Don't say that... Fujiwara Kei's TV series are also very good, and "Hansawa Naoki" is also a good novel..."

"It's far worse than "The Devotion of Suspect X". It shouldn't have such high sales."

"Huh, I just think "Naoki Hansawa" is better."

Originally it was just a forum to discuss "The Devotion of Suspect , it was also very noisy. Mystery fans prefer "The Devotion of Suspect X", but "Naoki Hansawa" has a huge number of fans, and the situation is anxious for a while.
