Chapter 644 Red Hair Society (11/100)

Finally, Kadokawa Publishing adopted the decision of Teacher Theking.

The person who was interviewed was the president of Kadokawa Publishing, whose face was extremely serious when facing countless reporters.

"Teacher Theking attaches great importance to privacy. He refuses to disclose any information about his nationality. Even our publishing house does not know the real nationality of Teacher Theking. We respect Teacher Theking's privacy and hope that everyone does the same."

As soon as the news came out, the whole RB exploded!

Teacher Theking, who was recognized by everyone as a RB, turned out to have a mysterious nationality?

In other words, Teacher Theking, who is regarded by many as the future hope of the RB reasoning world, may not be a RB?

It exploded, completely exploded, and the Suspense House Forum even collapsed briefly because of too many posts discussing this matter. The keyword Theking appeared at the highest frequency in history!

At this moment, whether it was the Internet or reality, whether it was newspapers or magazines, they all reported on this matter in a literacy-style manner. The news even spread to other Asian countries in the end. You should know that Teacher Theking is quite famous throughout Asia.

Reasoning enthusiasts from all countries were extremely surprised by this.

"That Theking, isn't actually from RB?" - Singaporean readers.

""White Night Walk" and "The Devotion of Suspect X" are also set in RB, but now it seems that Theking may be British." - Malaysian readers.

"In the World Mystery Competition, Theking successfully advanced to the second round, and the work he wrote in the second round was a detective mystery novel set in 19th century Britain!?" - South Korea.

"My brother is amazing, who would have thought that a foreigner could know the background culture of RB so well, write works that all RB readers would think he was from his country, and also achieve bestsellers throughout Asia?" - Readers from Dragon Country.

Of course, these people are relatively small.

Because in terms of fame, Theking is only in the limelight in RB.

In other countries, only mystery enthusiasts know that Teacher Theking is from their country.

So this incident has the greatest impact in RB, which is directly reflected in the followers of Teacher Theking on Twitter. Overnight, Teacher Theking lost more than 100,000 followers, and his "White Night Walk" and "The Devotion of Suspect X", which were selling well in RB, also saw a sharp drop in sales.

Kadokawa Publishing could only smile bitterly at this outcome.

As for Luoyang, he acted quite calm when he saw some angry messages from readers on Twitter.

Many people left messages on Twitter saying that they would never believe in Teacher Theking again. Teacher Theking was simply a big liar who deceived everyone's feelings, so in the future, they would definitely boycott all of Teacher Theking's works.

Some people still firmly believe that Teacher Theking is actually a RB.

Because although Teacher Theking did not say that he was a RB, he did not deny it, which left a lot of room for speculation.

Of course, among the fans who stayed, more of them remained rational. They believed that art has no borders. As long as Teacher Theking's works are good, they will continue to support him and will not be unhappy because of Teacher Theking's nationality.

"You still have time to play?"

Lu Yuer looked at Luoyang in disbelief.

When the news was overwhelming, Lu Yuer was afraid that Luoyang would be upset, so she went to Luoyang's residence as soon as possible to comfort him.

But in the end, when she arrived at Luoyang's house, Lu Yuer saw Luoyang teasing Miguru with a cat teaser, and occasionally he laughed very happily, as if the Theking teacher who was talked about by the outside world was actually someone else.

"If you go out and tell others about my nationality, I'm afraid there will be a fuss."

Luoyang was tired of playing, lying on the sofa and laughing. Seeing that his master didn't play with him, Miguru glared at the uninvited guest Lu Yuer, then jumped onto Luoyang's belly and rubbed his little head on Luoyang's clothes.

Lu Yuer rolled her eyes: "Yes, you are the best. You are from both Japan and the UK, and the whole country is guessing your true nationality."

Luoyang ignored Lu Yuer's teasing, stretched his neck, stood up and went into the study, and threw his third mystery novel to Lu Yuer: "I have sent out the second round, this is the entry for the third round."

Lu Yuer lowered her head and took a look at the work called "Red Hair Society": "The length has become much shorter!"

Of course, Luoyang would not say that he actually chose a short story from "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" in order to make time to write martial arts novels. His expression was full of mystery: "Short and sharp, there may not be anything wrong."

Of course, Luoyang did not choose a mystery story casually.

In fact, the quality of "Red Hair Society" is only higher than that of "The Sign of Four".

People often rank the stories in the "Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes". Everyone's ranking is naturally different, but the story translated into Chinese as "The Red-Headed Society" is often ranked in the top ten.

The media once conducted a special investigation on this.

In 1927, among Conan Doyle's favorite twelve short stories, The Red-Headed Society ranked second.

Then in the reader survey conducted by Baker Street Magazine in 1959, this story called The Red-Headed Society also ranked second, which shows that the popularity of this story is not limited by the length.

Of course, Lu Yuer didn't know the quality of The Red-Headed Society at this moment.

After she took over The Red-Headed Society, she said, "Your stories are a series, right? The protagonists of the first two are Sherlock Holmes..."

Luoyang seemed to know what Lu Yuer was going to ask, and said directly, "The protagonist of this Red-Headed Society is also Sherlock Holmes, and the name of this series is The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes. I have many more stories about Sherlock Holmes."

"I really don't know what your head is like."

When Lu Yuer said this, her mood was quite subtle.

In Longguo, his romance novels have touched countless readers time and time again. There are even readers who are moved by the stories who often leave messages for him, asking what his brain is made of and how he came up with those touching stories.

Today, Lu Yuer also asked Luoyang the same question.

Only then did she understand how readers felt when they asked this question.
