After a pause, he said again: "Just kidding, I will call the police. After all, I was a policeman."

The man was silent for a while, then slowly reached into a bag he was carrying, as if he was groping for something.

After driving for a while, the driver asked, "Where are you going?"

The man's hand clenched something, but he still responded calmly: "The trouble is a little bit ahead, that secluded path."

The driver said "OK" and continued to drive.

The taxi drove forward slowly, into the distant night...

……

Seeing the end, the hairs on Uesugi Sonoko's back stood up!

What does it mean?Will the driver be killed?Or could he kill the man instead?

In addition, is the driver the murderer who killed the female anchor?But if he turned out to be a policeman, how to explain the death of the female anchor?

However, this short story is really good to watch. If it is made into a film and television drama, it will definitely be even scarier!

No, I have to let more people see it!

[30.Chapter 30 Good News]

Hiroto Akihara didn't know anything about the idea of ​​a girl in Yokohama wanting to set up a fan club for him. He was busy with his work at the moment.

After going to the Internet cafe to check the information a few days ago, he summarized the relevant information to avoid mistakes and omissions when writing the script.

Later, he sat at the desk and wrote hard, planning to write the stage play script of "Seven Rooms" as soon as possible.

According to the format of the script, the first part is the general background of the story, the second part is the character and characteristics of the actors, and the last is the dialogue and actions of the actors.

As he wrote, he put down his pen from time to time to think about it, and then felt that the effect of writing this way was not good, so he crumpled the entire draft paper and threw it into the wastebasket.In this way, I wrote from the morning to 12 noon, and my stomach became hungry.

Speaking of rushing to the publishing house now, can I still eat the bento brought by Aiko Asano?

……

Asano Aiko didn't know that someone in the distance was thinking about her lunch, and she was carefully looking at the statistics in her hand at the moment.

This data was sent by the statistics section of the Publishing Bureau. It was directly compiled based on the sales of dealers and some bookstores, including sales on the first day, sales on weekdays, and the final estimated sales.

She looked at the graph from Monday to Friday on the data sheet, and found it strange no matter how she looked at it.

When it was released on the first day on Monday, the sales volume of "New Novel" was still about [-] copies. According to the decreasing trend of decreasing day by day, the total sales volume of this issue should fluctuate around [-] copies.

By Tuesday, the sales data had sold more than 7000 copies.

She thinks this part is okay. After all, the book reviews on the half page of "Tokyo Mainichi Shimbun" are still useful, but the effect of book reviews is generally only 1-2 days.

But in the next few days, she couldn't understand it a bit.

On Wednesday, sales fell slightly, but remained at around 6000 copies, the same as when it was first released.

On Thursday, the sales volume unexpectedly rose against the trend, and it became more than 7000 copies.

Then until the end, the sales curve has also maintained an upward trend, and reached a full 8000 copies on Friday.

She put down the statistics sheet, rubbed her brows with her hands, and thought involuntarily, maybe by the end of the weekend, the first edition of 4 copies might be sold out.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps, and Asano Aiko was frowning and wondering who was so rude, but when she looked up, she found that it was Kikuchita, the editor-in-chief of "New Novel".

Kikuchi was probably walking too fast, his face was flushed and he was a little out of breath.But his eyes were extremely bright, and the joy on his face couldn't be concealed at all!

She was a little puzzled as to why the editor-in-chief was in a hurry, but the other party suddenly raised a report in his hand, and said loudly to everyone in the editorial department, "Reprint! We're republishing it!"

Aiko Asano didn't recover for a moment.After hearing this, the rest of the editorial department couldn't help standing up one by one.

Kikuchi looked at the crowd and couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He didn't expect that the publishing bureau suddenly informed him today that the previous 4 volumes had been sold out, and 2 volumes would be reprinted later.

Although he didn't figure out what was going on, it was undoubtedly good news, so he couldn't help but get excited.

After all, "New Novel" has not been reprinted for too long!

Matsushima and Hiro were also a little surprised when they heard the news, and felt a little bad foreboding.

Asano Aiko didn't care about that, and smiled from the bottom of her heart.She sincerely hopes that "New Novel" will sell better and better, whether it is because of her own credit or not

The surrounding editors were also very excited, and the reprint meant that their salary and performance would also increase, so they all applauded or high-fived the people next to them.

Because of the large number of people, the entire office suddenly made a lot of noise, shaking half the floor, causing people to keep looking sideways.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Asano Aiko thought of Akihara Yuto, and she was going to make a phone call to tell him the good news!

But before that, she had to figure out the specific reasons for the soaring sales.

……

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Akihara Hiroto, who was writing, heard a phone call.

He put down his pen, stood up, went downstairs and picked up the microphone: "I'm Yuto Akihara, who is it?"

"Akihara, it's me."

Hearing Asano Aiko's voice on the phone, he smiled and said, "Asano, why did you call suddenly?"

"Qiuyuan, there is good news, "New Novel" is republished!"

Hiroto Akihara was dubious for a moment.

Reprints refer to books and periodicals that are reprinted and republished for sale. This means that the periodicals previously released by "New Novel" have been sold out, but isn't "New Novel" always at the bottom?

Asano Aiko on the microphone seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and immediately explained: "Since Tuesday, people from various bookstores have come to ask about "New Novel". By yesterday afternoon, the inventory of "New Novel" was emptied. , and even many bookstores called to ask for replenishment.”

After a pause, she said with a smile, "Qiu Yuan, you are the hero this time."

Akihara Hiroto was confused, but he still listened to her continue talking.

It turns out that the reason for this reprint is still in the half-page book review.

A couple bought the second issue of "New Novel" because of the book review, and were moved by the story between parents and children depicted in "So far".

At the same time, they also learned about the little boy who was abandoned by his parents in Iwate Prefecture.

The couple were social workers. After inquiring about the location, they immediately went to Iwate County to visit the poor child.

But they didn't expect that after getting in touch with the little boy, they were moved by his cuteness and understanding.

So they contacted the social organization that is now in charge of the matter, planning to adopt the child.
