Chapter 600: Shocking Ending

Of course, those are things that happened after returning home.

In short, as long as domestic affairs are not beyond the control range, Luoyang can be at ease.

In the next few days, Luoyang also paid attention to the news about Endo Jian. The public provocation in "White Night Walk" did not seem to make this Japan's top mystery writer respond, but Luoyang was not discouraged, but found it more interesting.

"Since "White Night Walk" did not blow you up."

"Then when "The Devotion of Suspect X" is published, can you still remain silent?"

Previously, Endo Jian had publicly fired at "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", and had a not-so-good relationship with Luoyang. As a person who pursues the understanding of ideas, Luoyang does not mind single-handedly killing through the Japanese literary world where Endo Jian is.

...

A week later, Kadokawa Publishing.

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

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

Yoshino's expression flashed with surprise when he heard this: "How could it be so fast? Are you sure you are not mistaken? The popularity of "White Night Walk" is booming. If his new work is not carefully polished, it is likely to be overshadowed by the brilliance of "White Night Walk", which will ruin his popularity."

Generally speaking, writers do not publish books frequently, because people's energy is limited after all.

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

From the time Luoyang submitted his work to "White Night Walk" to now, he has written a new work in less than half a month. Yoshino can't help but feel that it is not right. After all, Theking's new book is related to the interests of the magazine and his personal performance as the editor-in-chief.

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? He couldn't wait to earn the royalties after hearing that the magazine raised his price?"

Thinking so in his heart, he didn't say it out loud. After letting the male editor put Theking's new work on his desk, he continued to work.

Time passed by bit by bit. At 11:20 in the morning, there were only ten minutes left before the end of get off work. Yoshino finally dealt with the things on hand. After stretching, his eyes fell on Theking's new work.

"Suspect X's Devotion?"

Is this the name of Theking's new work?

Yoshino felt a little strange, but it is undeniable that this somewhat different title also attracted Yoshino's interest. He recalled the scene when he first encountered "White Night Walk" before, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of expectation--

I don't ask you to surpass "White Night Walk", just don't be too far behind at once!

This is Yoshino's requirement for Theking's new work. After many years of publishing career, Yoshino has seen too many brilliant works that turned into short-lived works.

So 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's first book becomes popular, and the second book is forgotten by the public, and then never gets up again...

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

Turning the title page, Yoshino started reading this work called "The Devotion of Suspect X".

[At 7:35 in the morning, Ishigami 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 first glanced at the bicycle parking lot. There were a few bicycles there, but there was no green bicycle that he cared about.

About 20 meters south, you will come to the main road, Shin-Ohashi Road. If you go left, that is, go east, you will go to the Edogawa District, and if you go west, you will reach Nihonbashi. In front of Nihonbashi is the Sumida River, and the bridge over the river is the Shin-Ohashi Bridge.

To get to Ishigami's workplace, the shortest route is to keep walking south. Just walk a few hundred meters and you will reach the park of 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 reads very quickly, not to say that he is not serious. In fact, reading manuscripts quickly is a basic skill for editors.

As the editor-in-chief, Yoshino naturally reads manuscripts quickly. Of course, although he turns the pages quickly, the beginning of "The Devotion of Suspect X" still clearly emerges in Yoshino's mind.

The same writing style as "White Night Walk" is Yoshino's first reaction.

As an editor or even the editor-in-chief of a magazine, he undoubtedly has a more thorough understanding of the style of the work than ordinary people.

Of course, the writing style is relatively unimportant.

For detective novels, the plot is the most important thing.

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

As the plot progressed, Yoshino had forgotten his plan to read for ten minutes first, and he read slower and slower.

His expression also changed from relaxed at the beginning to relatively serious. The plot of "The Devotion of Suspect X" was intertwined in his mind. A series of carefully planned scams made Yoshino's back straighten up quietly.

Two hours later, the watch on Yoshino's wrist pointed to half past one. He finally finished reading this new work called "The Devotion of Suspect X".

"Theking..."

"Theking..."

"Theking..."

Yoshino stood up and murmured softly.

No one knows what kind of storm of thoughts 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 works that have the potential to become famous nationwide before ordinary readers.

It is almost the instinct of every editor to discover it and make it shine with its own brilliance. After all, no one can bear to see the real pearl covered in dust.

Recalling the ending of the story, Yoshino was filled with emotion for a while-for the woman he secretly loved, Ishigami killed an innocent person to pretend to be her dead husband, and carefully created an alibi that was obviously fragile but irrefutable, which was the most perfect trap.

He took everything on his own, and in the end he would rather ruin his reputation and just ask her to be safe.

But in the end she turned herself in, and all the truth was revealed. The deep and unrepentant love, willing to kill for you, set up the most exquisite game and silently bear everything for you, this is the shocking ending of "The Devotion of Suspect X"!

As for telling the truth to the readers at the beginning, how to 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 write a scam to this extent, and I have never seen a mystery novel that can write love to this extent!

Yoshino can still maintain calm on the surface, but he has already begun to applaud in his heart. He is sure that "The Devotion of Suspect X" has a god-level ending that is enough to be recorded in the history of mystery novels, and it also has branches that are not inferior to "White Night Walk"!

No matter whether Theking is a newcomer or an old senior.

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