She lowered her head, saw the manuscript in her hand, and felt much more confident in her heart.

Teacher Akihara, whether "April Youth" can turn the situation around depends on your work!

[Chapter 170.169 The Invisible Customer (Free Chapter)]

Time passed quickly, and under the arrangement of the editorial department of "April Youth", Hiroto Akihara's manuscript quickly completed many tasks such as proofreading and typesetting, and was sent to a printing factory for printing and sale.

By Monday morning, this batch of "April Youth" books had been sent to bookstores across Tokyo through the logistics system of the Kejiao Museum.

……

Setagaya Ward, Yamazaki Bookstore.

Sugihara Aisa took a stack of books, walked to the literature and art books area she was in charge of, and started her daily work.

Looking at the different types of books on the display stand and bookshelves, she began to think.

Where should these books be today?

She first put the stack of books in her hand on the display stand, and tidied up the bookshelf.

Then, after taking a cursory look, he moved the "New" periodical, which was originally placed on the middle and lower shelves of the bookshelf, to the bottommost position.

After all, this journal has become increasingly difficult to sell recently, and readers have even reported that the quality of the articles in it is also very bad.

That being the case, it should give up its position to books that sell better.

After tidying up the bookshelves, Sugihara Aisa turned her eyes to the display stand again and thought again.

On this display stand are single volumes and periodicals with relatively high popularity and sales in the near future.

But the tastes of readers and the market tend to change, so the position of the display table is not always the same.

For example, the four booths in the lower right corner of the exhibition stand originally had the popular writer Sudo Shuichi's "Mystery of the Hidden Things".

However, due to a series of news from Hiroto Akihara recently, the sales of "Death by Negligence", "Death of a Reasoner" and "Devotion of Suspect X" became even more popular.

Therefore, in order to increase the overall sales, Sugihara Aisa compressed the display space of "The Hidden God" to only one, which can be used to display the three works of Hiroto Akihara.

Sugihara Aisa picked up a copy of "Death by Wrongdoing", and on the waist of the book was written the words "Award for Newcomers in Reasoning Literature".

When seeing this line of words, Sugihara Aisa's thoughts were a bit complicated.

Two months ago, she also accompanied everyone in Anjiu Bookstore to hold a signing event for Mr. Qiuyuan inside the bookstore.

Unexpectedly, not long after that, the other party won such an honorary title again.

Sure enough, he is indeed a "genius writer" recognized by book reviewers!

Just as she was feeling emotional, the store manager's voice came from behind.

"Sugihara, the new issue of "April Youth" has arrived, and you are responsible for arranging the placement."

Sugihara Aisa turned around, then bent down to take the books handed over by the other party.

"Understood, let me arrange it here, put it on the bookshelf, right?"

In her opinion, the recent sales volume of "April Youth" is also terrible, so it is a bit of a waste of space to put it on the booth, just put it on the bookshelf.

But to her surprise, the store manager didn't respond, but smiled instead.

"Where to arrange it is up to you, but I suggest you take a look at the cover of this book first."

After saying this, the store manager waved his hand and left.

Sugihara Aisa who took the book was puzzled.

After thinking about it, she put the stack of "Youth in April" on the display stand, and took out a copy to read.

On the cover of this magazine, there is a gray dark cloud, and under the dark cloud is a man who only covers half of his face.

Right above these pictures, there is a line of words ""The Invisible Guest", written by Akihara Hiroto".

After seeing this name, Sugihara Aisa was surprised.

Isn't Mr. Akihara just published a booklet?

Why did you publish another work immediately? !

Doesn't he need to conceive when he writes?

Having said that, why did he cooperate with "April Youth" again?

With doubts, Sugihara Aisa opened the magazine, found the work by Akihara Hiroto, and began to read it.

But when she looked at it, she found that she was addicted to it.

……

The story takes place in Setagaya, Tokyo.

At 6 o'clock in the morning on this day, a lady wearing a high-end dress walked into a luxury hotel and pressed the elevator to the 13th floor.

When the elevator door was slowly closing, the lady, who seemed to be in her 40s, straightened her clothes and checked her appearance.

The elevator door opened, and the lady stepped out of the elevator and walked along the corridor with ukiyo-e paintings to the end, which is where the presidential suite of this hotel is located.

The lady took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Soon the door opened, and behind the door was a man with sleepy eyes.

After seeing the man, the lady bowed and said, "Is this Mr. Nobuyuki Sugo? I'm the lawyer in charge of your case, Watanabe Saki. I was introduced by Matsui. It's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

The man named Nobuyuki Sugo hadn't woken up yet, and just nodded in response.

"Give me a few minutes to change."

After saying this, Nobuyuki Sugo opened the door and signaled Watanabe Zaoji to come in and wait first.

As for himself, he went to the bathroom in the back of the suite and closed the door.

Watanabe walked in early, she first closed the door behind her, and then looked around: right in front of the presidential suite, the TV was on.

On the TV screen, a news broadcast live by NHK is being reported.

"Today's headline news is Morita Makiko's funeral. According to the Metropolitan Police Department's speculation, the suspect who killed her is likely to be her wealthy lover Nobuyuki Sugo, but the latter claims that he was framed..."

Watanabe Sakiji was looking at the screen when a voice came from behind.

"Lawyer Watanabe, I thought you would come later."
