Chapter 92 It's All About His Arrangement, A Book Confers God

"The Devotion of Suspect X" has attracted the attention of many readers because of the publicity of Daxia Publishing House.

Generally, new writers cannot get such good promotion resources for their first book.

Publishers will sell it on a small scale, looking at reader feedback.

If the feedback is good, the sales will be increased.

If the response is mediocre and there is no potential, the publishing house will stop losses in time.

It is the first time for a new work like "The Devotion of Suspect X" to be promoted on such a large scale.

This is entirely because the editor Hu Liang is optimistic.

The editors of Daxia Publishing House, each editor has a "main push" opportunity every quarter.

The so-called main promotion opportunity means that if the editor has a very promising book, he can submit a "main promotion application" to the editorial department.

After receiving the main push application, the editor-in-chief and associate editors of the editorial department will convene for a "reading meeting".

Read, review, and evaluate the "mainly promoted works" recommended by the editors.

If more than half of the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief are optimistic about the book and think it has great sales potential, the "main push application" will be considered a success.

Each editor has only one chance to be featured in a season!
Editing will also be very careful.

If it is not a particularly brilliant work.

Editors will choose to be steady.

The most important thing is that this time the main promotion opportunity has been used, no matter whether the main promotion application is successful or not, the main promotion permission will not be obtained again until the next quarter... Can't be sloppy.

If the main push application is unsuccessful again and again, it will leave the impression that the editor has no vision in the minds of the editors.

Therefore, editors do not easily use the main push authority.

And this is also the third time that Hu Liang has used the main promotion authority since he started his career.

And it was unanimously approved by the editors! !
It is precisely because the entire editorial department is optimistic that this book has won unprecedented promotion resources for newcomers and new works.

Ye Youshen is a newcomer writer, posting his pen name would do more harm than good, so after weighing the pros and cons, he simply omitted the writer's pen name in the publicity.

Instead, it creates a sense of mystery.

Arouse readers' curiosity and discussion.

now,

On Xiaguo's largest reader exchange website "Golden House", readers are actively discussing "The Devotion of Suspect X".

Dongjin is a little hot: "Which big guy is this new work? Such a card. The wind blows (Da Feng pushes)~~"

Chrysanthemum is a bit sweet: "It's not like the big brother's new book. The big brother's new book doesn't even have a pen name? The persuasive power of the big brother's pen name is ten thousand times stronger than this strong wind."

Flammulina velutipes is not a mushroom: "Could it be that I forgot to type my pseudonym?"

Needle's Eye: "Looking at the title of the book, it should be a work of reasoning. It is reasonable to play a game of guessing the author of a work of reasoning!! I guess the author is An Yuan."

A Qiang who sells fish: "Anyuan did say in the interview before that the new book will meet with readers at the end of June or early July. But he did not disclose more information and details."

Three buns in one bite: "Could this be a special promotional event arranged for Anyuan? It's related to the content of the book."

Readers have guessed all kinds of things.

But readers generally agree that "The Devotion of Suspect X" is the work of well-known reasoning writer An Yuan.

As for why Anyuan didn't disclose any information about the release of the new book, it may be a "special plan".

Readers automatically make up their minds.

But at this moment in the capital, he locked himself up and concentrated on writing a new book, but he was very puzzled.

Since two o'clock in the afternoon, he has been receiving calls from friends and writers.

Ask him if he has a new book out.

Congratulations to those who come up directly.

An Yuan was confused.

He learned about The Devotion of Suspect X from these friends who called.

This is not what I wrote...

He went to the "Golden House" to take a look, and the discussion posts of "Suspect X's Devotion" were already on the top.

There are more than [-] comments under the topic.

So terrifying.

And most readers guessed that this is his new work by An Yuan, because he mentioned in the interview that the new book might be available to readers at the end of June or early July...but it's not even the end of June yet.

After reading the comments, An Yuan didn't want to write a book anymore.

He also became very curious about who the author of the book "The Devotion of Suspect X" was.

I called Xu Zhi, editor of Daxia Publishing House, who I have been cooperating with for a long time, "Old Xu, who wrote "The Devotion of Suspect X"? The Golden House is all discussed."

"A newcomer." Xu Zhi didn't hide anything from An Yuan.

"Newcomer?" An Yuan was surprised.The rookie is so good-looking?What kind of newcomer?Is the editor-in-chief's son?

Xu Zhi briefly explained the "main push" matter, "I have read the manuscript of this book, and it is different from most mystery novels. It is a coincidence. Brother Yuan, is your new book finalized yet?"

An Yuan: "The last round of refinement and finalization is just a matter of the last day or two. Just as planned, I will meet readers at the end of the month or early July."

Xu Zhi: "Well, you don't need to be so anxious."

An Yuan: "What?"

Xu Zhi: ""The Devotion of Suspect X" will go on sale tomorrow. If there are no accidents, this book will be a hit. I suggest that the new book's online plan be postponed to avoid the edge for the time being."

An Yuan: "Is this rookie so strong?"

Xu Zhi: "The first print of this book is 50 copies. I have two sample books in my hand. I will send them to you after get off work. You will know after reading it."

An Yuan: "Waiting for you at home."

After hanging up the phone with editor Xu Zhi, An Yuan's heart became restless.

He couldn't help but think about what kind of strange book "The Devotion of Suspect X" is.

Even Xu Zhi asked him, a mature writer, to postpone his new book plan for last year.

Is it so exaggerated?

But if you think about it carefully, he has also been on the editor's main page, and the works that he has been promoting for sale are indeed quite fierce.Moreover, only after the evaluation of the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of the entire editorial department can the main resource be selected.

Based on this alone, "The Devotion of Suspect X" is not simple.

An Yuan felt itchy all afternoon.

Until [-]:[-], editor Xu Zhi sent "The Devotion of Suspect X".

"Thank you, Old Xu." An Yuan took the book and said.

He wanted to stay with Lao Xu for a sip of tea and a meal together.Xu Zhi refused. "I have to go back for my daughter's birthday today. Brother Yuan, this book hasn't been released yet. Read it for yourself, don't spread it to the outside world."

An Yuan: "Don't worry, I understand."

Xu Zhi: "Then I'll go first."

An Yuan sent Xu Zhi to the elevator.

After the elevator closed, An Yuan hurried home and opened "The Devotion of Suspect X".

I'd like to see if this book is any good.

"The Devotion of Suspect X", like many successful novels, begins with a brief introduction to the time, place and characters...

Ishigami is a gifted mathematics teacher who is not good at speaking and not good at communication. He has a crush on Yasuko Hua Gang.Even the owner of the convenience store knows about this.Yasuko Huagang realized it later.

"The beginning is quite satisfactory." An Yuan felt that this book was not as magical as Xu Zhi said.

At least that's how it started.

Continue to read, Hua Gang Yasuko's ex-husband appeared and entangled Hua Gang Yasuko's mother and daughter.The ex-husband went to the home of Jingzi Huagang, and there was an unpleasant dispute between the two parties.

Yasuko Grano and her daughter Misato Grano accidentally killed her ex-husband Shinji Tokakina!

Seeing this, Anyuan felt that his nerves were being teased.

"Tell the reader the murderer at the beginning? How do you write this next?" An Yuan's curiosity was suddenly aroused.

No wonder Xu Zhi said that this book is a trick.

This is completely out of the routine of ordinary mystery novels.

The murderer is known, and there is no suspense for mystery novels... If it were me, what should I do next?An Yuan racked his brains to guess the next plot.

After Fujian Shinji was killed.

The mother and daughter were in shock.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Miss Huagang, Miss Huagang."

Huagang Yasuko kept herself as calm as possible, "May I ask who is it?"

"I am the stone god next door."

"can I help you?"

"I heard a lot of movement. Did something happen?"

"No, nothing..."

Huagang Yasuko made up a reason casually, saying that there were cockroaches in the house, and she and her daughter killed the cockroaches together, so there was a lot of noise.And apologized to Ishigami for disturbing Ishigami.

Ishigami: "Have you killed it?"

Yasuko Huagang: "Huh?"

Ishigami: "Have the cockroaches been wiped out?"

Huagang Yasuko almost peed in fright, "Oh... yes, it's been resolved, no problem, um."

After Shishen left, Yasuko and her daughter struggled with whether to call the police.

Then the phone rang.

Ishigami.

Ishigami: "That... I was thinking, what are you going to do?"

Yasuko Huagang: "How to do what?"

Ishigami: "I mean, if you guys want to call the police, I won't say anything. But if I don't have that plan, I think I should be able to help."

Huagang Yasuko was stunned when he heard this.

He...does he know all about it?
I only heard Shi Shen continue: "Miss Huagang, it is very difficult for two women to handle the corpse."

When An Yuan saw this, his nerves tensed up.

This paragraph is so well written! ! !
The sense of fear and panic of killing people and being smashed overflowed from the text.

An Yuan felt nervous about Huagang Jingzi's mother and daughter.

But the context of the story has gradually emerged. Because of his secret love for Yasuko Huagang, Shishen planned to help the two of them dispose of the corpse... There is a description in the book that Shishen knew at a glance that Yasuo Huagang had killed someone.That description is very detailed, and it also shows that Ishigami is a person who pays attention to details and has strong logical thinking ability... This is very in line with the personality of the math teacher.

So what will Ishigami do next?
Why is the title of the book The Devotion of Suspect X?
Suspect X... you mean not sure?
With many questions, An Yuan continued to read.

The day after Togashi's death, on March 3, the police found the naked body of a man with his entire face mutilated and his fingerprints burned.

Not far from the body was a bicycle with many fingerprints on it.

On the other side was a pile of unburned clothes.

The face was destroyed, the fingerprints were burned, and there were no items left to prove the identity of the deceased... It was difficult to confirm the identity of the deceased for a while.

On March 3, a nearby hotel reported that a guest was missing.

After the police intervened in the investigation, they compared the hair and fingerprints left by the guests with the fingerprints on the deceased and the bicycle.It was found that the deceased was the missing guest.

And the information that this guest stayed in the hotel was named Fujian Shinji!

The police quickly found Jingzi Huagang.

Under the guidance of Shishen, Huagang Yasuko produced a perfect alibi.

"Let the policeman dizzy, how did Ishigami do it?" An Yuan was already convinced by this book at this moment.

The beginning tells you who the murderer is!

But it still keeps you entertained to watch.

Cattle! !

And next! !
The plot turns tensely.

The police suspect Ishigami, Yu Chuanxue points out that if Ishigami is an accomplice, as long as the alibi of Ishigami is found, the truth will be revealed.

Shishen knew that the matter could not be concealed, so he left three letters to Yasuko Huagang and surrendered to the police station.

And confessed the details of the murder to the police.

After the police finished Shishen's transcript, they collected criminal evidence according to Shishen's description. The evidence was convincing, and the case was finally solved. !

However, Yu Chuanxue couldn't be happy... because this is not the truth at all!

An Yuan also knew that Shi Shen was not the murderer.

Because the murderer has already told the readers at the beginning! !
Thinking of this, An Xin suddenly felt a chill go down her spine, "Could it be... Could it be that all of this was set up by the God of Stone?"

Numerous goose bumps appeared on An Yuan's body.

Even the voice trembled.

Suspect X's devotion... devotion!Suddenly An Yuan seemed to think of something, could it be...

His expression changed.

Keep looking down.

Things really turned around!
The truth of the case finally surfaced.

In order to create an alibi for Yasuko Huagang on March 3 (the ex-husband died on March 10), Ishigami actually killed another person!

Ishigami drew up all the plans and prepared another suicide corpse, which made the police mistakenly think that it was Fujian Shinji who was killed by the mother and daughter. That corpse was not killed by Huagang Yasuko...

"Sure enough!!! Sure enough, all of this is a trap designed by Ishigami!"

"It seems to be creating an alibi for Yasuko Huagang, but the core is to hide the identity of the deceased!"

"From the very beginning! He was ready to sacrifice himself as a scapegoat!"

"crazy!"

"too crazy!!"

At the end of reading, An Yuan was deeply shocked!

The whole book is the layout of Shishen.

Is this written by a rookie writer?

Better than I can write! !
Are all rookies this strong?
This book is going to explode.

Originally, he didn't take Xu Zhi's words about delaying the launch of the new book to heart, but at this moment, he took the initiative to contact Xu Zhi: "Old Xu, my new book has to be revised."

Xu Zhi: "Understood."

The next day, "The Devotion of Suspect X" was released in the self-operated bookstore "Daxia Bookstore" of Daxia Publishing House.

Because of the promotion of various online channels, the popularity of this book was pushed out.

But because they didn't know who the author was, many readers were on the sidelines and didn't buy the book immediately.

There is no scene of queuing up to buy.

But it's not like ordinary newcomers and new books, no one cares about it on the day of release.

There are still many curious readers who make a special trip to the bookstore to buy this book.

"Night wandering god?"

"I've never heard of this writer."

"My God... this is not the work of a newcomer, is it?"

"What's the origin of this guy? The Daxia Publishing House spent so much resources on promoting his debut novel."

"Great God vest?"

"Suddenly I don't want to buy it... You should try the poison first."

"It's all here, forget it, buy a copy. I still trust Daxia Publishing House."

Some readers saw that the author's name was "Night Tour God", but they could not find any information on the Internet, so they resolutely gave up buying.

There are also people who bought it home with the mentality that they can’t buy it for tens of dollars and can’t suffer a loss and can’t be fooled.

An Yuan has been following the release of the book from the moment he finished reading "The Devotion of Suspect X".

Visit the Golden House from time to time to see the reactions of readers.

But in the morning, only a small group of people posted photos in the Golden House.

"I bought it back, and it turned out to be a newcomer writer."

"I didn't buy it, you guys test the poison first."

"Try to read it... I don't understand why Daxia Publishing House spends so much resources pushing newcomers and new books."

"It might be really good."

Readers leave a message in the Golden House.

An Yuan really wanted to say: Just wait and scream!
Time goes by minute by minute.

An Yuan picked up his mobile phone from time to time to see if there were any new developments and discussions about "The Devotion of Suspect X" in the Golden House.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon, probably when the first batch of readers who bought the book finished reading it, that they continued to post in the Golden House.

"After watching "The Devotion of Suspect X", I just want to say shit!! I was shocked! Good grass!! Hematemesis recommended."

"It's hard to imagine that this is a new work by a newcomer! I cried to death when I saw it at the end."

"This book should be called "The Devotion of Licking Dogs""

"Reverse, reverse and reverse again!!! The author's thousand-layer routine is really amazing."

""Detective: The Beginning Tells You the Real Murder""

"He really, I cried to death."

"God's work!"

“Wall Crack recommended!”

"A clear stream in mystery novels."

As more and more readers read "The Devotion of Suspect X", more and more people recommended this book by Golden House.

Word of mouth gradually accumulated.

Some readers who were on the sidelines went to the bookstore to buy after get off work.

Before three o'clock in the afternoon, of the 50 copies printed, less than [-] copies were sold nationwide.

until seven o'clock in the evening!
All bookstores are sold out.

"And "The Devotion of Suspect X"?"

"Sorry it's sold out, we've already placed an order with the publishing house, and it may take two days. Or can you go to another store?"

"This is already the third bookstore I have run."

At the same time, Daxia Publishing House also received an endless stream of orders.

……

Kyoto, Daxia Publishing House.

Hu Liang: "Editor-in-Chief! Editor-in-Chief!! "The Devotion of Suspect X" is selling like crazy! Every bookstore is sold out one after another! We have to reprint it."

Editor-in-Chief: "50 volumes, all sold out?"

Hu Liang: "All sold out!"

Editor-in-Chief: "My god! Newcomer king!! This is the rhythm of the newcomer king! Reprint. Reprint now!"

Newcomers and new works sold 50 copies in one day, which Hu Liang and the editor-in-chief never thought about.

Although the promotion resources are tilted towards the new book "The Devotion of Suspect X" by the God of Night.

However, Hu Liang and the editor-in-chief estimated that it would take about one to two weeks for the first printed 50 volumes to be consumed.

But what they didn't expect was that there were 50 copies! !Only sold for one day.

This never happened.

It can be said that it has created a record for a rookie's first start.

too crazy.

……

Golden House.

There are more and more readers discussing "The Devotion of Suspect X".

"When I didn't watch it, I was very resistant. After watching it, the stepmother smells really good."

"Yeyoushen is scheduled to be the rookie king this year!"

"The rhythm of conferring gods in a book!"

……

……

The first volume is over.
