Aoba Office

"You don't seem to be injured?"

"No, the master saved me... He saved me and dragged me out... I was not crushed. He told me not to leave him too far and to leave the house first. We took two steps and really left. After taking two steps, the TV exploded! It exploded! That pendulum... that pendulum was going to hit me, but the master... he pushed me away, he pushed me away, and he was... I... I ran away come out……"

"He died like this?"

"Aren't you going to die like this? That pendulum went straight in! It happened to be in the heart, just like... exactly where he stabbed her... It's really exactly the same! Later the police came... It was the property owner or a neighbor who called the police. The police Here we come... They said it was an accident... No! It's the ghost who wants to kill me! She wants to kill me!"

"Please calm down, Mr. Xi."

"How do you want me to calm down? I almost died. If it weren't for me at that time... If it weren't for me, I would be lucky, Master, he, save me... I..."

"Mr. Xi, can you tell us now the fact that you plagiarized?"

"...You guys, are you going to hold on to this matter? I was almost killed!"

"If you don't want to say it, we can investigate it ourselves, but as far as we have found before, the total number of works you have plagiarized is one or two hundred, and the number of authors involved reaches seventy or eighty. Some professional authors are relatively easy to contact. , but others are just diaries, news reports, government announcements, jokes published on the Internet...these authors are difficult to contact. For another part, the authors are deceased writers and can only be found from past materials or contact their family members Friends came to investigate. With all due respect, this project is very huge. It is too difficult to find out which character you copied has just passed away. If you are lucky, you may find it soon. If you are not lucky, you can never find it. Also a possibility."

"I paid the money, can't you think of a solution? Look at the master, he, he even risked his life to save me..."

"We don't know which master you are looking for. In terms of style, there are very few people in our circle who risk their lives to save others. Even if they are willing to take risks, they will not die like this."

"He really...really blocked it for me. He took the initiative to block it for me!"

"...Now that he is dead, your problem is still unresolved."

"I...I really...don't know...I..."

"..."

"Don't you have any other options?"

"At the moment, it seems there is nothing we can do. You may be able to avoid being killed by your own efforts."

"What?"

"I mentioned it before on the phone. This ghost has spiritual power. It should be your readers using their own thoughts... To put it simply, it is their impression of your character that is projected onto the ghost. As long as you change What you, the reader, think also has an impact on ghosts.”

"I want it, how can I change it?"

“We are not writers and can only provide you with ideas.”

"Tell me, how to change it?"

"Rewrite the contents. It is best to change all the characters in your book to be peace lovers, kind-hearted, and not harming human lives. Another way is to make your readers hate and despise your characters. The latter may have the opposite effect and allow the ghost to gain more power, so the risk is relatively high, so please choose carefully.”

"Are you kidding? Do you know how many books I have written and how many characters I have created? Named ones and unnamed ones..."

"If a spirit can appear, at least the character has a certain degree of popularity and a fan base. It is very likely that it will be the protagonist or an important supporting role."

"That's too much! Those characters have so many scenes, and the protagonist directly runs through the whole story..."

"How you change it is your business. We don't know how to write."

"Impossible, this is simply impossible, you can't change it!"

"Then, the third option..."

"Is there a third kind?"

"Yes. Please publicly admit plagiarism, publicly explain that the characters you write are not your original creations, and make readers hate you and those characters. Or publish other scandals about your private and public ethics and lose fans..."

"Impossible! That's even more impossible!"

"Mr. Xi, if you don't cooperate in anything, it will be difficult for us to solve this matter. Or are you willing to wait until we complete the investigation thoroughly and find out the true identity of the female ghost? During this period, we cannot guarantee your safety. "

"I...I want to think about it...you guys check it out first, you guys check it out first..."

On December 27, 2008, a list of plagiarism commissioned by netizens was found, confirming a total of 79 known plagiarized authors, and the true identities of 61 authors have been found so far. Attached: A list.

On December 28, 2008, I received a call from the client. Telephone recording 200812280346.mp3.

"Hello, Mr. Xi."

"... Huchi... Huchi..."

"Mr. Xi?"

"……call……"

"What happened?"

"...Haah...ha..."

"Do you need us to call the police for you?"

"Don't...gu...don't, don't call the police...don't first..."

"what happened?"

"I...my mother...my mother passed away...she just..."

"Did that female ghost do it?"

"Yes, it's her, that's her!"

"what happened?"

"I don't know...I don't know...I moved. My parents and I are now living in a newly rented house outside, but...that female ghost appeared again...my mother, she...she got an electric shock...no , it’s fire...I don’t know what happened...she..."

"How did your mother die?"

"...cut...she had her throat slit..."

"Where is your father?"

"I don't know... maybe, maybe still sleeping..."

"Can you see the female ghost now?"

"No, no...I didn't..."

"You should contact the police now and deal with the death of your mother first. We can't help in this regard."

"..."

"Mr. Xi?"

"I...I want to call the police?"

"Of course. Any questions?"

"No, no, no."

On December 29, 2008, I was contacted by the police. Audio file 05320081229.wav.

"...These are two letters of attorney, which are the progress of our investigation. In addition, there are also recordings of our phone calls and conversations with Mr. Xi. Our actions should not have violated any laws."

"Yes. Judging from your contact, does Xi Rong have any mental problems?"

"No. We think he did encounter a ghost."

"..."

"So, do you have any suggestions for him to take any measures?"

"We suggested that he revise his previous works, or publish some of his scandals to change fans' impressions. This is a recording from that time."

Click...

"...Another way to make your readers hate and despise your characters. The latter may have the opposite effect,... scandal, loss of fans... Impossible! Even less likely!..."

Click.

"only these?"

"Yes. According to our analysis, the ghost that Mr. Xi encountered was mainly because his characters were too popular and gained powerful power that was difficult to deal with."

"cough……"

"Oh, um, so... you... how long have you opened this office?"

"...Two police officers, may I ask what happened? The phone call from Mr. Xi did not explain the details of the matter. His words were inconsistent and evasive. In addition, he was supposed to contact us again, but so far, he There is no contact.”

"He is now in custody. What did he say when he contacted you?"

"We have recorded the phone call. If the police need it, we can copy it to you."

"How did his mother die?"

"……this……"

"Was he killed?"

"How did you..."

"Guess. If it was an accident, he should have called the police at that time."

"..."

"His mother's throat was cut directly, and the place of death was in front of his bed. Judging from the scene, his mother should have entered his room in the middle of the night and walked to his bed. He hid the knife on the bed... …According to him, this is your recommendation.”
