Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 224 Can You Kill Everyone in Front (4000 words)

"Lemon" has already been recorded, so I turn my gaze a little and put it back on Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death".

After another warm-up of the fifth chapter, the sales volume of the third volume of "Unnatural Death" by Higashino Division remained at around 150 million.

This value did not surprise the publishing house or those in the industry. They have already admitted that "Unnatural Death" is indeed a phenomenon-level comic, so it is normal for its average volume sales to remain at more than 150 million.

But on this basis, someone put forward a new idea. Can Higashino maintain the sales of "Unnatural Death" and continue to increase the average volume sales?

Many people just think about it and say no to this.

The average sales volume of 150 million volumes is already a phenomenal level. Is it too much for you to continue to climb?Do you not take other publishers seriously?

The unanimous thought of many people in the industry is that unless "Unnatural Death" has a hand in it, it is impossible to continue to go up.

And even if you climb up, so what?

The sales history of Japanese manga is there. The average sales volume of 150 million volumes is just enough to enter the top ten. If you go further up, the average sales volume of 200 million volumes is the ceiling for Japanese manga. Do you want "Unnatural Death" to set that record?

There are positive ones and negative ones, and of course the majority are negative.

But this is just a very common discussion, and not everyone in the industry is staring at "Unnatural Death".

And at this time, the event of Happy Cake Factory, which was carefully prepared by Higashino Division, finally began to be officially serialized.

Compared with the first three episodes, the plot of this episode is actually relatively straightforward, and the reasoning process is relatively simple.

Since the reasoning process is relatively simple, in turn, in this episode, the scenes about people's feelings and how people survive in society have greatly increased.

This is also the most important reason why this statement is so sensational.

Sano is an employee of a factory called Happiness Honey Cake Factory, but because Happiness Honey Cake is very popular on the Internet and on TV, various orders keep coming, and he often works until midnight before going home to rest.

And one day, Sano suddenly died in a traffic accident, but because the motorcycle insurance had expired, and Sano did not purchase life insurance, the Sano family had no way to claim compensation from the insurance company, which also made Sano's wife Kanako There is no way out, she has two children, she is a housewife, and has no source of income, so it can be said that she is desperate.

to help.In order to help the family, Sansumi Mikoto's mother hopes that the Unnatural Death Institute can investigate the real cause of Sano's death.

Because according to Kanako, her husband often works until midnight, and there is a possibility that Sano may die due to overwork and overtime at the Happy Honey Cake Factory.

During the investigation, the director of the happy honey cake factory felt that overwork and overtime were nothing but empty talk and unreasonable trouble, and mentioned that the cause of Sano's death was caused by brake failure.

But the motorcycle shop also stated that the brakes had been completely repaired, and the cause of Sano's death was an accident that occurred because of illness and discomfort while driving, and had nothing to do with him.

The hospital responsible for examining Sano's body heard this and said that there was nothing abnormal in the examination, and Sano's death was due to simple overwork.

The three parties quarreled violently, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and no one was willing to pay tens of millions of yen in compensation.

Chapter 16 of "Unnatural Death" ended here. At the same time, Higashinoji also quietly put the song "Lemon" into the list of online distribution downloads.

This is a fee-paying website. Downloading a full digital version of a song on this website will cost [-] yen, and the authenticity of its downloads is naturally beyond doubt.

Higashino just put "Lemon" on it and continued to draw the next plot of "Unnatural Death".

After all, any song has a period of word-of-mouth fermentation. Although Dong Yesi brazenly added a theme song of "Unnatural Death" later, it was not like most novels, which became popular on the first day and became popular the next day. All over the world so exaggerated.

Of course, there are also reasons why Higashino Division has not yet publicized on "Unnatural Death".

Another week has passed, and Chapter 17 of "Unnatural Death" is released!

After repeated evidence collection by Sansumi Mikoto's mother, she finally received a report from the Happy Honey Cake Factory. She learned that there was indeed overwork and overtime in the factory, and she had a heated debate with the cake factory manager.

During the debate, the director of the factory fell down emotionally. At this time, everyone knew that the factory director was the employee who had been processing the longest. to any overtime pay.

The peace talks on compensation have come to an impasse, and Sansumi Mikoto has made no progress in the autopsy, because the final result of the autopsy shows that Sano died of traumatic vertebral artery dissection, but that is an old injury 30 days ago. If you want to investigate, you must To investigate 30 days ago.

They learned from Sano's wife, Kanako, that Sano did have an accident a month ago. At that time, the president of the Happy Honey Cake Factory asked Sano to deliver the cake. If the president asks to work, he can claim compensation from Honey Cake Company in accordance with overtime accident death.

But the previous question was put back in front of everyone. It was an old injury from 30 days ago. To use it as evidence, it is necessary to confirm where and when Sano was involved in the accident. At least there must be surveillance video just work.

The incident stagnated again, and everyone was a little helpless, because it was an old injury from 30 days ago

Under this sense of helplessness, Chapter [-] of "Unnatural Death" ends.

Unlike the smooth ending of the previous chapter, the content of the chapter "Unnatural Death" has aroused heated discussions among many people.

In Japan, there are many social animals who work overtime until the early hours of the night before returning home, which are the so-called company slaves.

Some people have never received overtime pay, and they dare not ask the company for overtime pay. Japan has just emerged from the economic crisis. There are many unemployed people in the society. There are not many people who are more than you in the company, and many who are less than you. .

Someone posted like this: In fact, regardless of whether there is overtime pay or not, I actually understand Sano a little bit. For him, there are wives, sons, and daughters who need living expenses at home. Even if he doesn’t want to, he has to become a slave of the company. Similarly, simply working along the line and processing along the line, maybe one day, I will really die from overwork.

As soon as this post was posted, many people responded to it below.

Because as long as people who have been in the workplace for a while have basically worked overtime, companies with a little conscience will pay overtime pay, while unscrupulous companies don't care about their employees' life or death.

This made many people continue to look forward to the next plot of Higashino Division's "Unnatural Death".

A week passed quickly, and Chapter 18 of "Unnatural Death" has officially started serialization on "Aversion to Chill".

Sansumi Mikoto and the others finally found a breakthrough.

After confirming the composition of the asphalt on the edge of the motorcycle and the color of the bruises, everyone set their sights on West Musashino City.

Because only the sewer manhole covers there have such blue, yellow, and blue colors, as long as you pass through the manhole covers, you can find the location of the incident.

But this is undoubtedly a particularly difficult task. You must know that there are a total of [-] sewer covers in the entire Nishi-Musashino City. It takes several months to confirm each one by the number of people from the Unnatural Death Institute.

It was at such a desperate time that the director of the Happy Cake Factory appeared.

He didn't want his subordinates to die unjustly, and he didn't want to accept the unfair terms of long-term overtime. He ordered more than 100 workers to go on strike, and came to help Sano's family find evidence. He must defeat the black-hearted president of Happy Honey Cake Factory!

This is an extremely passionate story.

Two thousand manhole covers, the factory director who is not afraid of power and decides to go on strike even if he is fired, is all twisted into one rope.

Discussions on the Internet are gaining momentum again - although such things do not exist in real life, this does not prevent them from imagining in comics.

It is worth mentioning that Higashino has discovered one thing, that is, at some point, the number of downloads of the song "Lemon" he uploaded on the Internet has gradually increased.

Now there are [-] downloads, and if you only look at the background data, you will find that this number does not rise in a slash, but skyrockets almost in a straight line.

Today is [-] downloads, and tomorrow there may be [-] downloads.

After deducting the website's handling fee and tax expenses, it is estimated that Higashino can get 200 million yen.

Of course, this small amount of money is secondary!

The most important thing is - the song "Lemon" did not disappoint Higashino!

And there are already some comments below.

Because many people have seen that the lyrics and composers are all Higashino.

He is now the author of the phenomenon-level comic "Unnatural Death", and of course many people have heard his name.

but

This is too exaggerated, right?

When did comic authors extend their tentacles into the field of music?

Two-thirds said the song was a good song!Worth a listen!

About one-third of the people left a message in the comment area asking if it was Higashinoji himself. This group of people is considered the most heated discussion.

They don't think it's Higashinoji himself. They probably don't know which Internet singer came here to play around under the guise of Higashinoji, but using the name "Unnatural Death" has already infringed the copyright. I hope the author pays attention.

When he saw these comments, Higashino just smiled cheerfully and didn't pay too much attention. After closing the distribution and downloading website, he continued to draw the next plot of "Unnatural Death".

With the help of the workers on strike at the factory, the place where Sano met the accident was finally discovered.

Everyone also saw in the surveillance video what happened to Sano that day.

Sano, who was riding a motorcycle, was in a relaxed mood, because he had finished his work today, and then he only needed to hand over the cake to the president to complete the day's heavy work.

Thinking of the delicious and warm meals cooked by his wife at home, he smiled.

Because it was a cake for the president's party, he rushed it urgently. After stopping the motorcycle, he hurried upstairs and handed it to the president of the Happy Cake Factory.

"Really, it's too slow!" In a sentence full of complaints, the cake was taken away by the president, the door was closed, and the smile that Sano was originally wearing slowly disappeared from his face.

He couldn't help shrinking his neck at the other party's cold eyes.

"Okay, let's go home."

He took a deep breath, finally nodded, muttered to himself, went downstairs, and drove away on his motorcycle.

Getting into the car again, Sano narrowed his eyes several times.The sleepiness of being forced to work overtime continuously made his body heavy, and the exhaustion made him crumbling.

In the end, he was driving a motorcycle and fell heavily to the ground.

"it hurts"

With an extremely painful face, he groaned and struggled to get up.

But in the process of struggling, he looked up at the night sky again, as if something was attracting him

Those are the fireworks for the festival.

But at this time, in the president's apartment, the cake that Sano painstakingly delivered was just pushed to the ground and smashed to pieces. These two scenes are used crosswise to make the comic picture of "Unnatural Death" full of irony.

Only when he was in an accident and was unable to lie on the ground, Sano could take a breath and take time to watch the fireworks in the sky, while on the tall buildings, the president of the Happy Cake Factory could have a carnival with men and women

Sano's wife, young son and daughter seemed to be feeling something and looked out the window. They smiled contentedly, as if looking forward to tomorrow.

In this situation, Sano could only look at the fireworks and take a deep breath: "I have to go back."

Yeah gotta go home.

Until this time, Sano still didn't know that this was the cause of his death a month later.

Back home, Sano smiled and stroked his child's cheek. With hope on his face, he said softly but stubbornly: "I hope they can live happily when they grow up, become happy, become happy."

This is the story of a factory called happiness and a family suffering from misfortune.

It can be said that this remark really made many people cry back then, coupled with the sound of "Lemon", it made people taste the "bitter aroma of lemon".

This episode belongs to the special issue, the thickened one, and it can be regarded as two episodes published together as one episode, divided into (Part [-]) and (Part [-]).

At the same time as the release, Higashino Division also disclosed the fact that the theme song "Lemon" of "Unnatural Death" had been released on the side page of the manga and the cover of "Aversion to Chill".

This time he used the ability to describe the sound and record the sound.

Higashino Division can indeed hear the singing of "Lemon" at the end of the manga.

This made Higashino Division very satisfied, and began to wait for the specific statistics of "Unnatural Death" this time.

The theme song "Lemon" is also equipped. Let's see how far "Unnatural Death" can go!

Can you kill all the people in front of you!What about rushing directly to the ceiling of Japanese manga sales?

　Thank you for the reward of [-] starting coins for whoever can be alone!Thank you so much!Thanks to Tanya Degurechaff for the reward of [-] starting coins!Thank you so much!Thanks to Bai Yanning, Who Can Be Alone, Tianyu Reina, Tianyu Tianze, 咴咴AS, Faith in Xuefeng Bar for their rewards!Thank you so much!
