……

In the fifth week, "New Novel" sold 1 copies on the first day, and the subsequent daily sales fluctuated little.

When I counted the sales volume for a week in the statistics class, I found that a total of 7 copies had been sold!

In the sixth week, the first-day sales of "New Novel" exceeded 2 copies. The new sales mainly came from the Yokohama area, where it seems to have a group of fans.

In addition to the sold out of 4 copies of the first edition, it was also reprinted 3 times in the follow-up, with a total sales volume of more than 8 copies in a week!

On the day when the weekly sales data of "New Novel" was released, Juchi was so ecstatic that he gave everyone a half-day off.

He privately found Aiko Asano and asked her to further deal with Akihara Hiroto.

In addition, Kikuchita also asked Asano Aiko to tell Akihara Yuto that he would strive for more favorable conditions in the future, including the manuscript fee per page and subsequent booklet royalties.

After Hiroto Akihara heard the news over the phone, he was not as excited as he was at the beginning, and now he was mainly thinking about other things.

Through the microphone, Asano Aiko seemed to hear Yuuto Akihara's absent-mindedness, and asked curiously: "Akihara, did you encounter any difficulties, do you need my help?"

She wondered if the other party had encountered some problems, and wanted to see if she could give him some advice.

After all, caring about the situation of writers is also an important duty of editors.

Hiroto Akihara did not expect the other party to offer to help. After all, what he is encountering now is a creative matter, and the main problem is the lack of material accumulation.

He thought about it, and the previous idea popped up again.

Asano seems to be a native of Tokyo, maybe some connections can help?

He thought for a while, and then asked directly: "Asano, do you know the police from the Metropolitan Police Department? It's better to be from the search department?"

He didn't really have much hope, but he asked anyway.

After all, if you want to write a mystery novel, you can't do without the description of the police system. Among them, the most important thing is the search class.

The Search Division is the most valued practical unit of the Metropolitan Police Department.

According to the type, it can be divided into the first investigation department responsible for violent crimes such as murder, robbery, and rape; the second investigation department responsible for intelligent crimes such as fraud and corporate crime; the third investigation department responsible for cases such as theft; Search four lessons.

Like the police officer Megure in "Detective Conan", it is the police department of the First Investigation Section.

When Aiko Asano heard this request, she was a little surprised for a moment. She thought that Hiroto Akihara needed to call the police because of some trouble, and asked nervously, "Akihara, did something happen?"

Hiroto Akihara knew from her tone that she had misunderstood. He originally wanted to explain, but for some reason, he suddenly wanted to tease her.

He coughed, pretended to be serious and said, "No, I want to surrender myself."

Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of the microphone falling to the ground...

Not good, the joke is too big.

[47.Chapter 47 Disappearance and Trial]

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is the police department in charge of public security in Tokyo, which is directly supervised and managed by the Neon Police Department.There are more than 4.3 police officers and directly manage 102 police stations in Tokyo, which can be said to be a behemoth.

It is located in Chiyoda District, which is the political, administrative, and judicial center of Neon.

Hiroto Akihara came all the way in Aiko Asano's car.

Through the car window, he saw the Metropolitan Police Department building in the distance.

To be honest, there is nothing special - it consists of two buildings with about 20 floors, a bit like some county-level city government buildings I have seen in previous lives.

Asano Aiko parked the car in a nearby parking lot, and took Akihara Yuto to a nearby coffee shop - today they are visiting in a private capacity and can only wait nearby.

Because it was almost the appointed time, the two of them walked into the coffee shop and ordered 3 cups of coffee first.

Akihara Yuto looked at Asano Aiko, and found that she didn't want to talk to him, and felt helpless for a while.

Yesterday he asked Asano Aiko to help him find a policeman, but suddenly he became playful and fooled the other party, saying that he had done something wrong and was going to surrender.

He had already made up a reason: In order to get inspiration for writing, he strangled a homeless man in the dark, and threw the other's body under the bridge to forge suicide marks.

But when he realized that Asano Aiko was panicking, he immediately gave up the joke and explained it to her.

Aiko Asano realized that she had been cheated, and hung up the phone angrily.

Akihara Hiroto realized that he had played too much, and immediately called to apologize, but it took 3 calls to get through.

After Asano Aiko answered the phone, she was silent for a long time. Later, she accepted the apology verbally and promised to help find a related person from the police.But when we met today, she still showed a look of not wanting to talk to herself.

Akihara Hiroto looked at her profile, thinking about how to express his apology.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a gray uniform came to the table.

Asano Aiko immediately stood up and saluted, and said politely, "Uncle Tsutsuko, please excuse me."

Hiroto Akihara also stood up and looked at the man at the same time.

This middle-aged man is about 40 years old, about 1 meters tall, with a thin body, a bit like a bamboo pole.He has an ordinary appearance, the kind you can't find in the crowd, but the expression on his face looks very serious.

But after seeing Aiko Asano, the serious expression on the man's face disappeared without a trace, and he said with a smile: "Asano-chan, based on my relationship with your father, you don't have to be so polite."

Asano Aiko smiled, and then began to introduce each other to the two sides: "Uncle Tsutsuko, this is Mr. Akihara Hiroto, the writer I am in charge of now; Mr. Akihara, this is my father's friend, Uncle Tsutsumi Kohei, who is also a police officer. Inspector of the inspectorate."

Akihara Hiroto was a little surprised, he didn't expect Asano Aiko's family to have such a relationship.

Although the position of chief inspector is generally given to those unlucky people who have spent 10 years without becoming the inspector general, it can be regarded as a local snake with little power.

He didn't think much, bowed to the police officer Tigen and introduced himself, and explained that he wanted to know the situation of the Metropolitan Police Department so that he could carry out literary creation.

Di Gengping was a little puzzled when he learned of his intentions: "Mr. Akihara, I have a good relationship with the Asano family, so if you have any questions, please speak up."

He was really curious. He had been in the police business for many years, and he dealt with either the parties to the case, or the local media, and it was the first time he was asked for advice by a mystery novelist.

It's strange, and drinking with colleagues at night can have a new topic.

Hiroto Akihara heard what he said, and he was not polite, and asked bluntly: "I want to write a story about the disappearance, so I would like to ask Officer Tsutsuko to tell you about the disappearance... If it is convenient, Please tell me more about what the outside world doesn’t understand.”

"It's not a problem." Di Gengping pondered for a moment, passed through his mind, and found that there were no secrets that could not be revealed, and asked directly: "Mr. Qiuyuan, do you know what the procedures for filing a missing person case in Nihong are?"

"Isn't it enough to call the police immediately after finding out that he is missing?" Akihara Yuto was a little puzzled.

"No." Seeing Yuuto Akihara took out a pen and paper and began to record, Kohei Tetsu told him carefully.

In fact, he kept a lot of things in his heart and didn't say anything. This time, he can talk about it. Anyway, the other party was recommended by Aiko Asano, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

In his introduction, Hiroto Akihara began to understand more about Neon's disappearance reporting procedure.
