The night view of Kyoto is often seen on a seat called a "cool bed" - a restaurant or tea room near a river.Guests can enjoy the night view of Kyoto that is lit up next to the river bank one by one, while enjoying the unique banquet food of Kyoto.

Actually, it's the second round now.

Oda Sakunosuke just finished attending the meeting of editors and authors organized by the Bungeishunju editorial department.

At the exchange meeting, he was quiet and tall, standing in the corner of the banquet with a paper bag on his head, giving people an unspeakable pressure.Unless it is intentional to make friends, there are not many people who take the initiative to talk to him.Both Masashi Hengmizo and him were born in Yokohama, and they debuted at the same time. Since they won the Naoki Award together three years ago, they have kept in touch.So it was no surprise that Oda and Henggou chatted as if no one was there whenever they had free time.

The content of the chat is nothing more than trivial matters in all aspects of life and matters related to novels.Henggou recently wanted to write a reasoning theme with the thief as the prisoner. After all, the reputation of the thief Kidd is getting more and more popular, and Henggou has not written a story about the thief until now.

It is not surprising that novelists like to use realistic subjects.

Two years ago, there was an 88-day gang fight in Yokohama, dubbed the "Leader's War of Resistance" by the mafia. Even the local government was unable to control the situation for a time.Because of this incident, the literary world produced many literary works that reflected people's hearts or social phenomena. At that time, there was a so-called "Yokohama fever" phenomenon in literary works in the second half of the year.

The official history of Henggou went abroad to participate in the activities of the World Association of Mystery Literature, which happened to be completely staggered, so I didn't plan to write it.But I heard that Oda didn't write about it either. Henggou asked curiously like Oda's editor-in-charge why he didn't write about this ready-made social theme.

In fact, generally speaking, the responsible editor does not care what specific subject matter or background content the author writes.It's just that Oda hasn't published any other works within a year since he won the Naoki Award, and the competition in the literary world is fierce, with countless eye-catching works appearing every year, every month, every week, every day.Without you, there would be others, so the popularity that Oda had accumulated was slowly worn away over time.

The editor in charge of Kawai was naturally anxious for Oda, and even gave him advice.

Oda Sakunosuke thought about what he had done at that time.

Because there were too many lonely and helpless children in the Longtou Anti-Japanese War, Oda Sakunosuke also temporarily built a rescue center, solicited funding everywhere, and also used his identity as a novelist to raise funds online according to Akashi's suggestion.Hong Kong and Heilongjiang have also helped a lot. If children are found on the road, they will be sent directly to rescue centers. Some children are even only one or two years old.Fortunately, the director of the orphanage at Tsurumi helped out with advice, otherwise Oda would not be able to manage so many children.He was so busy that he hardly had time to concentrate on writing, and he didn't write much other than writing.

Editor Kawai naturally did a lot to verify Oda's identity and promote his charitable deeds of raising funds for orphans.However, he feels that Mr. Oda has completely forgotten his own job.Therefore, it was not until after the Yokohama Dragon Head War of Resistance ended that Oda began to serialize the reasoning and adventure story "Zi Shou Ge" in Bungeishunqiu Weekly, a total of twelve stories, and the editor of Kawai regained his smile.

Because of the return of the author, readers responded well in the first issue of the series, but halfway through because of the problem of the rhythm of the story, it once fell into a low ebb, hovering in the last three near the cut-off.By the fourth-to-last issue, which is the tenth story, a large number of foreshadowings emerged, and analysis posts appeared frequently, directly attacking No.1 from the end.

By the time it was finished, not only was it firmly at No.1, but it was also news that it would be published as a booklet.News of reprints came out one after another in the first month after the booklet was issued.At the end of the year, Oda's "Ko Shou Ge" also won the annual "Motoya Grand Prize"-the most wanted book selected by bookstore staff across Japan.Receiving this award symbolizes the popularity of his work.As of this year, the sales volume of this book has exceeded 200 million. It is an excellent achievement without any catalytic effect in terms of film and television or animation.

"Shouge" means lullaby in Japanese.

Twelve famous lullabies from all over Japan are included in this story, and based on this background, "Zi Shou Ge" is created. The protagonist is also a boy.The only difference is that the image of the protagonist in each story is different. When everyone thought it was a unit story, in the penultimate story, someone discovered that the protagonist has always been the same person.Only then did everyone frantically search for foreshadowing, and directly found the third story in front, which has already hinted that this series of stories is all about a person, and the reason why he has so many images is related to his body. The secret is related and will be unlocked in the last three stories.

This time the booklet is still unexpectedly ingenious - it adopts the design of "backed book", the whole book appears to be short stories serialized in weekly magazines, but in fact each page is also a stitched page design, readers can follow along When the pages of the book are opened, there is new content inside, and the direction of the story has completely become another coherent and brand-new long story.

If the first book is because the illustrations complement each other and achieve each other, this time the author once again showed his sincerity and responsibility to the readers.This is an interesting book that "buying one is equivalent to buying two", which is very worth collecting.

Readers directly urged Oda Sakunosuke to just publish a single book, and they will definitely buy it.

This strong return began to establish Oda's reputation as a best-selling author.

Editor Kawai even thinks that Oda is actually a genius of the publishing house, who not only knows how to write books, but also sells them.

Oda didn't think about it that much, it was simply because Dazai casually said that he felt that he had read it once, and bought another collection to read the repeated content, which would be boring.He also thought about it. For other readers who have read it, it shouldn't be interesting to read it again.Therefore, because of this sentence, Oda expanded the story into a novel, added new content, and increased the possibility of the ending of the story.

Oda said it simply, but it is a test of the author's writing skills and logical ability. If it collapses in the middle, it will be completely destroyed. There is no need to spend effort to write a book.

Now, Oda is writing "The Counter-Evidence of Youth", and has directly signed a booklet for publication, and even has the highest drawing with Majo, the artist of the popular manga artist Ajoki Yumeha in Yueisha, the largest manga publishing house in Japan. Signed a publishing contract for synchronous updates of manga.

Yacheng Mu Mengye is a combination of Kanban cartoonists of Yourongshe.Writer Takagi Akito is in charge of original writing, and artist Majoko is in charge of turning text into manga content. The two made their debut as a group at the age of 14. At the age of 24, they established their status in Yurongsha with the animation of "REVERSI".Three years later, Yacheng Mumenye's sequel "PCP Complete Crime Continued" has become one of the new four major pillars of Yourongshe, and animation is also on the agenda.

As soon as the news came out, readers and fans were very excited.

Now, Oda can just finish his new work.

……

The official history of Henggou is very worrying. After the first round of banquets, I privately asked Oda to have another drink and discuss the direction of writing.In fact, the official history of Henggou has been the well-deserved uncrowned king in the publishing of literary works in the past few years. It is not only high-yield, but also exquisite.It's just that he has high demands on himself, so he has all kinds of troubles.

"Oda, do you know any thieves?"

Henggou found that Oda was always surrounded by people with various magical professions.

He thought he couldn't meet Kaito Kidd, so he could only start with other similar people.

"There are no thieves, but I have a friend who is very good at picking locks." Oda thought of Dazai Osamu, but Dazai Osamu pursued the creed of "my friend's friend is not my friend". It is estimated that Yokomizo wanted to learn from him. It will be difficult to obtain materials. "However, he probably won't agree to meet with you. What do you want to ask, can I ask for a little help?"

"Well, I mainly want to find a thief. If I can pick a lock, I can also find a locksmith..."

Henggou was a little drunk, lying on the table, as if he was about to fall asleep drunk, but suddenly coughed non-stop, hadn't caught his breath for a long time, and his face turned red.

Oda patted him on the back to comfort him.

Henggou Masashi waited for a long time, and then slowly said: "...Oda, I tell you one thing, don't tell others."

Oda's attitude also became serious, and he responded softly: "Yes."

Henggou Masashi smiled wryly, looked at the dark river and said, "I was found to have a tumor in my internal organs. When I suddenly found out about this, I felt like I was squeezing a tram during rush hour. Move, everyone is squeezing and pushing themselves, hurry up and move forward."

Henggou paused, and said: "I am still pursuing the "ultimate mystery novel", I am afraid that I will not be able to complete it independently in the end, Oda, can you help me? "

Oda didn't want Henggou to give up so quickly, and instead of responding positively, he asked, "What did the doctor say about your illness?"

Henggou said: "In the mid-term, I am in a position of neither good nor bad, neither awkward nor awkward." Henggou suddenly realized that his mood was too depressed, so he corrected his words, raised his spirits and said: "I Afterwards, I will go to the hospital for long-term treatment. You will come to see me then, right? I don’t know what I’m doing, and I always see him so busy that I don’t see anyone.”

"I'll see you." Oda said solemnly.

"Thank you, that's enough." Henggou lay down on the tatami on the seat, looking at the velvet sky, stretched out his hands and tried to catch the wind in his hands. "I will work hard. Once your new book is finished, don't forget to show it to me!"

"I know."

Oda should come down, but he didn't tell Henggou about himself.

As if in response to the prediction made by Aunt Natsume Reiko and the fortune teller - "It is difficult to live beyond the age of 24", Oda has encountered various car accidents and accidents since he was 23 years old. Recently, I also have the illusion of counting down the days.

After parting from Henggou, the silver-haired boy who had been following in the dark consciously parked the antique car in front of Oda Sakunosuke.

"Mr. Oda, where are we going next?"

"Go to Tokyo, I may have to see Mr. Suzuki."

So far, the one who has the financial resources to meet Kaito Kidd is the well-known Mr. Suzuki.

"I see."

The silver-haired boy didn't hesitate much, and drove straight to the direction of the Tokyo Expressway.

Oda glanced at the silver-haired boy who covered half of his face with bangs——

He continued to drive forward with a straight face.

The boy's name is Kurosawa Jin.

After Oda picked him up from the rice flower market two years ago when he was seriously injured, except for remembering his own name, he has not recovered his memory so far.Compared with the life of ordinary people, he prefers the way of working in Hong Kong and Hei, so he was recommended by Oda to go to Hong Kong and Hei.Now Kurosawa is Dazai Osamu's right-hand man.Osamu Dazai once said that about him, he has a cold personality and ruthless methods. Before he lost his memory, he should have done a lot of murder and robbery.However, even Osamu Dazai couldn't find out the background of such a person.

"Mr. Oda, if you have anything to say, you can speak directly. If you are worried about the driver's license, I have already got one." Kurosawa saw that Oda was always looking at him, so he spoke in advance.

He has been with Oda for two years, and he knew that Oda had the habit of speaking surprisingly, and he has completely adapted to it.

Oda pointed to the direction of his bangs, and said earnestly: "Your bangs can't always cover half of your eyes. This will increase the fatigue of your eyes, which is not good for the health of your eyes, and will affect your vision. Why don't you cut your hair short? Or just find a hairpin, and you'd better find some time to have your eyesight tested and get a pair of glasses if necessary. What do you think?"

"........."

Kurosawa found that it was too early to speak of what he said had been adapted.
