I don’t want to be a star, I became famous

The Devotion of Suspect X has gained a lot of readers' attention due to the publicity of Daxia Publishing House.

Most new writers don’t get such good promotion resources for their first book.

The publisher will release the book on a small scale to see readers’ feedback.

If the feedback is good, we will increase sales efforts.

If the response is mediocre and there is no potential, the publishing house will stop the loss in time.

This is the first time that a new work by a newcomer like The Devotion of Suspect X has been promoted on such a large scale.

This is entirely because editor Hu Liang is optimistic about it.

Editors of Daxia Publishing House, each editor has a main promotion opportunity every quarter.

The so-called main promotion opportunity means that if the editor has a book that he is very optimistic about, he can submit a main promotion application to the editorial department.

After receiving the main promotion application, the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department will convene a reading meeting.

Read, review, and evaluate the main works recommended by editors.

If more than half of the editors and associate editors are optimistic about the book and think it has great sales potential, the main recommendation application will be considered successful.

Each editor only has one chance to be featured in a quarter!

Editors will also be very cautious.

If it's not a particularly outstanding work.

Editors will all choose to stay safe.

The most important thing is that this time the main promotion opportunity is used, no matter whether the main promotion application is successful or not, you will have to wait until the next quarter to regain the main promotion authority... You can't be careless.

If the main recommendation application is unsuccessful every time, it will leave the impression in the minds of the editors that the editor has no vision.

Therefore, editors do not easily use the main push authority.

This is also the third time Hu Liang has used the power of promotion since he started his career.

And it was unanimously approved by the editors-in-chief! !

Precisely because the entire editorial department was optimistic about it, this book received unprecedented resources to promote new works by newcomers.

Ye Youshen is a new writer, and posting his pen name would do more harm than good, so after weighing the pros and cons, he simply omitted the writer's pen name in the publicity.

Instead, it creates a sense of mystery.

Arouse readers' curiosity and discussion.

now,

Readers on the Xia Kingdom's largest reader exchange website Golden Room are actively discussing The Devotion of Suspect X.

Dongjin was a little enthusiastic: Whose new book is this book? Such a good name. The wind blows (big recommendation)~~

The chrysanthemums are a little sweet: It's not like the new book of the big brother. The new book of the big brother doesn't have a pen name? The persuasive power of the pen name of the big brother is 10,000 times stronger than the strong wind.

Flammulina enoki is not a mushroom: Did you forget to write a pen name?

Eye of the Needle: Looking at the title of the book, it should be a mystery work. It makes sense to play guessing the author game for mystery works!! I guess the author is Anyuan.

Aqiang, the fish seller: Anyuan did say in the interview that the new book would be available to readers at the end of June or early July. But he did not disclose any more information or details.

Three steamed buns in one mouthful: Could this be a special promotion event arranged for Anyuan? It's related to the content of the book.

Readers' speculations ranged.

But readers generally agree that The Devotion of Suspect X is the work of the well-known mystery writer An Yuan.

As for why Anyuan didn't reveal any information when he released his new book, it may be a special project.

Readers automatically figure it out.

But at this moment, Bao An, who is locking himself up in Kyoto to concentrate on writing a new book, is very confused.

He has been receiving calls from friends and writers since 2 p.m.

Ask him if he has released any new books.

Some people came up directly to congratulate them.

Anyuan was confused.

He learned about The Devotion of Suspect X from these friends who called.

This is not what I wrote...

He went to the Golden Room to take a look, and the discussion thread The Devotion of Suspect X was already pinned to the top.

There are more than 10,000 comments under the topic.

So scary.

And most readers have guessed that this is his new work by Anyuan, just because he mentioned in the interview that the new book may be available to readers at the end of June or early July... but it is not yet the end of June.

After reading the comments for a while, Anyuan no longer wanted to write a book.

He also became strongly curious about the author of the book The Devotion of Suspect X.

I called Xu Zhi, the editor of Daxia Publishing House, who I have been cooperating with, Old Xu, who wrote The Devotion of Suspect X? The discussion in the Golden House exploded.

A newcomer. Xu Zhi did not hide anything from Anyuan.

Newcomer? Anyuan was surprised. Is the newcomer so good? What kind of unconventional newcomer is he? Is the editor-in-chief’s son?

Xu Zhi briefly explained the main recommendation thing, I have read the manuscript of this book, and it is different from most mystery novels. It is a trick. Brother Yuan, has your new book been finalized?

Anyuan: The final revision was completed in the last day or two. It's just as planned, and I will meet the readers at the end of the month or the beginning of July.

Xu Zhi: Well, there's no need to be in such a hurry.

Anyuan: What?

Xu Zhi: The Devotion of Suspect X will be on sale tomorrow. If nothing else happens, this book will be a hit. I suggest that the launch of the new book be postponed to a later date to avoid the spotlight for the time being.

Anyuan: Is this newcomer so strong?

Xu Zhi: The first printing of this book is 500,000 copies. I have two sample books in my hand now. I will send them to you after get off work. You will know after reading them.

Anyuan: Waiting for you at home.

After hanging up the phone with editor Xu Zhi, Anyuan's heart became restless.

He couldn't help but think about what kind of strange book The Devotion of Suspect X was.

Xu Zhi even asked him, a mature writer, to postpone his plans for a new book from last year.

Is it that exaggerated?

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that he has also been promoted by editors, and the works he promotes for sale are indeed quite powerful. And only after the evaluation of the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of the entire editorial department can the main promotion resources be obtained.

Based on this alone, The Devotion of Suspect X is not simple.

Anyuan felt itchy all afternoon.

It wasn't until 6:40 that editor Xu Zhi sent The Devotion of Suspect X.

Thank you, Lao Xu. Anyuan took the book and said.

He wanted to stay with Lao Xu to drink tea and have a meal together. Xu Zhi refused. Today is my daughter's birthday and I have to rush back. Brother Yuan, this book hasn't been released yet. You can read it for yourself and don't tell anyone about it.

Anyuan: Don't worry, I understand.

Xu Zhi: Then I'll leave first.

Anyuan sent Xu Zhi to the elevator.

After the elevator closed, Anyuan hurried home and opened The Devotion of Suspect X.

I'd like to see if this book is that good.

The Devotion of Suspect X, like many successful novels, begins with a brief introduction to the time, place and characters...

Ishigami is a gifted mathematics teacher who is not good at talking and is not good at communication. He has a crush on Yasuko Hanagano. Even the owner of the convenience store knows about this. Hanagang Yasuko realized it later.

The opening chapter is quite satisfactory. Anyuan felt that this book was not as impressive as Xu Zhi said.

At least that's how it started.

As you continue reading, the ex-husband of Kagome Yasuko appears and entangles Kagome Yasuko and her daughter. The ex-husband went to Hanagang Yasuko's home, and the two parties had an unpleasant dispute.

Then Yasuko Hanagang and her daughter Misato Hanagang accidentally killed her ex-husband Togashi Shinji!

Seeing this, Anyuan felt that his nerves were aroused.

Tell readers the murderer at the beginning? How to write next? Anyuan's curiosity was suddenly aroused.

No wonder Xu Zhi said this book was clever.

This completely breaks out of the routine of ordinary mystery novels.

Now that the murderer is known, there is no suspense left in mystery novels... If it were me, what would I do next? Anyuan racked his brains to guess the next plot.

After Togashi Shinji was killed.

The mother and daughter were in shock.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Miss Hua Gang, Miss Hua Gang.

Kagome Yasuko tried to stay as calm as possible, Who is it?

I'm the stone god next door.

can I help you?

I heard a lot of noise. Did something happen?

No, it's nothing...

Kagome Yasuko casually made up an excuse, saying that there were cockroaches in the house, and she and her daughter exterminated the cockroaches together, so they made a lot of noise. He apologized to the Stone God for disturbing the Stone God.

Shi Shen: Killed him?

Hanagang Yasuko: Huh?

Stone God: Have the cockroaches been eliminated?

Kagura Yasuko was so frightened that she almost peed, Oh... yes, it has been solved, no problem, eh.

After Ishigami left, Kagome Yasuko and her daughter struggled with whether to call the police.

Then the phone rang.

It's the stone god.

Shi Shen: Um... I'm thinking, what are you going to do?

Hanagang Yasuko: What to do?

Ishigami: I mean, if you want to call the police, I won't say anything. But if you don't have that plan, I think I should be able to help.

Kagome Jingzi was stunned when he heard this.

He...did he know everything?

Just listen to Shi Shen continue: Miss Huagang, it is difficult for two women to handle the corpse.

Anyuan's nerves became tense when he saw this.

This paragraph is so well written! ! !

The sense of fear and panic of someone being killed overflows from the text.

Anyuan felt nervous for Hua Gang Jingzi and his daughter.

But the context of the story has gradually emerged. Because Ishigami has a crush on Yasuko Nagaoka, he plans to help them dispose of the corpses... There is a description in the book where Ishigami knew that Yasuko Kagome had killed someone at a glance. That description is very detailed, and it also shows that Shi Shen is a person who pays attention to details and has strong logical thinking ability... This is very consistent with the personality of a mathematics teacher.

So what will Stone God do next?

Why is the book called The Devotion of Suspect X?

Suspect X...does that mean he's not sure?

With many questions, Anyuan continued reading.

On March 10, the day after Shinji Togashi's death, police discovered the naked body of a man with his entire face destroyed and fingerprints on his hands burned.

There was a bicycle not far from the body with many fingerprints on it.

There was a pile of unburned clothes on the other side.

The face was destroyed, the fingerprints were burned, and no items were left to prove the identity of the deceased... It was difficult to confirm the identity of the deceased for a while.

On March 11, a nearby hotel reported a missing guest.

After the police intervened in the investigation, they compared the hair and fingerprints left by the guests with the fingerprints on the deceased and the bicycle. The deceased was found to be the missing guest.

And the information this guest left at the hotel was named Togashi Shinji!

The police quickly found Kagoya Yasuko.

Under the guidance of Shishen, Hanagang Yasuko came up with a perfect alibi.

How did Shi Shen do it to make the police officers confused? Anyuan was already impressed by this book.

The opening chapter tells you directly who the murderer is!

But it still makes you enjoy watching it.

ox! !

And next! !

The plot twists and turns.

The police suspect Shi Shen, and Yukawa Manabu points out that if Shi Shen is an accomplice, the truth will be revealed as long as the loophole in Shi Shen's alibi is found.

Ishigami knew that the matter could not be concealed, so he left three letters to Kagura Yasuko and then went to the police station to surrender.

and confessed the details of the killing to the police.

After the police completed Shi Shen's notes, they collected criminal evidence according to Shi Shen's description. The evidence was conclusive, and the case was finally solved. The truth was revealed, which was very satisfying! !

However, Yukawa Manabu is not happy... because this is not the truth at all!

Anyuan also knew that Shi Shen was not the murderer.

Because the murderer has already been told to the readers at the beginning of the chapter! !

Thinking of this, An Xin suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, Could it be...could it be that all this was arranged by the Stone God?

Countless goosebumps appeared on Anyuan's body.

Even the voice was shaking.

Suspect X’s devotion…devotion! Suddenly An Yuan seemed to have thought of something, could it be...

His expression changed.

Read on.

Things have indeed turned around!

The truth of the case finally emerged.

In order to create an alibi for Kagome Yasuko on March 10 (her ex-husband died on March 9), Ishigami actually killed another person!

Ishigami made all the plans to prepare another homicide corpse, making the police mistakenly believe that it was Shinji Togashi who was killed by the mother and daughter. As long as the police investigate deeper, the suspicion of Yasuko Hanaoka will become smaller, because, That body was not killed by Kagome Yasuko in the first place...

As expected!!! As expected, all of this is a trap designed by the Stone God!

It seems like they are creating an alibi for Kagome Yasuko, but the core is hiding the identity of the deceased!

From the beginning! He was ready to sacrifice himself as a scapegoat!

crazy!

too crazy!!

Anyuan was deeply shocked after reading it to the end!

The whole book is the layout of Stone God.

Is this written by a new author?

You can write better than me! !

Are all newcomers this strong these days?

This book is going to explode.

Originally, he didn't take Xu Zhi's suggestion of delaying the release of the new book to heart, but at this moment, he took the initiative to contact Xu Zhi: Old Xu, my new book needs to be revised again.

Xu Zhi: Understood.

The next day, The Devotion of Suspect X was first published in Daxia Bookstore, a self-operated bookstore of Daxia Publishing House.

Due to the publicity through various online channels, the popularity of this book has been promoted.

But because they didn’t know who the author was, many readers were in a wait-and-see state and did not buy the book immediately.

There was no queue to buy.

But it’s not like ordinary newcomers’ new books, where no one cares about them on the day they are released.

There are still many curious readers who make a special trip to the bookstore to buy this book.

Yeyoushen?

I've never heard of this author.

Oh my god...this isn't the work of a newbie, is it?

What is this guy's background? Daxia Publishing House has spent so many resources on promotion of his debut novel.

Great God's Vest?

Suddenly I don't want to buy it...you should try the poison first.

You're here, forget it, just buy a copy. I still trust Daxia Publishing House.

Some readers saw that the author's name was Yeyoushen, but could not find any information on the Internet, so they decisively gave up buying it.

There are also people who bought it home with the mentality of not being able to buy it for tens of dollars and being cheated.

Anyuan has been paying attention to the sale of this book since the moment he read The Devotion of Suspect X.

Check out the Gold Room from time to time to see readers’ reactions.

But throughout the morning, only a small group of people posted photos in the Golden House.

I bought it back, and it turned out to be a new writer.

I didn't buy it, you should test the poison first.

Try to take a look... I don't understand why Daxia Publishing House spends so many resources to promote new books by newcomers.

Maybe it's really good.

Readers left messages at Golden House whether they liked it or not.

Anyuan wanted to say: Just wait and scream!

Time passes minute by minute.

Anyuan picks up his phone from time to time to see if there are any new developments or discussions about The Devotion of Suspect X in the Golden House.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon, probably when the first batch of readers who bought the book had finished reading, that they started posting in the Golden House one after another.

After watching The Devotion of Suspect

It's hard to imagine that this is a new work by a newcomer! I cried to death when I saw it.

This book should be called The Devotion of Dog Licking

Reversal, reversal and reversal!!! The author's thousand-layer routine is really amazing.

Detective: I'll tell you the real murderer at the beginning

He really made me cry to death.

Masterpiece!

“Wall Crack Recommended!”

A breath of fresh air in mystery novels.

As more and more readers read The Devotion of Suspect X, more and more people in Golden House recommend this book.

Word of mouth gradually accumulated.

Some readers who were in a wait-and-see state went to bookstores to buy after get off work.

Before three o'clock in the afternoon, of the 500,000 copies printed, less than 50,000 were sold nationwide.

to 7 p.m.!

Every bookstore has sold out.

Is there any more The Devotion of Suspect X?

Sorry it's sold out. We have already placed an order with the publishing house and it may take two days. Or can you go to another store to have a look?

This is already the third bookstore I've visited.

At the same time, Daxia Publishing House also received a steady stream of order calls.

…

Kyoto, Daxia Publishing House.

Hu Liang: Editor-in-Chief! Editor-in-Chief!! The Devotion of Suspect X is selling like crazy! Every bookstore has sold out one after another! We have to print more copies.

Editor-in-Chief: Half a million copies, all sold out?

Hu Liang: “All sold out!”

Editor-in-Chief: Oh my God! Newcomer King!! This is the rhythm of the Newcomer King! Print it. Print it now!

Hu Liang and the editor-in-chief had never imagined that a new work by a newcomer could sell half a million copies in one day.

Although the promotion resources are tilted towards the new book The Devotion of Suspect X by the God of Night.

However, editor-in-chief Hu Lianghe estimated that it would take about one to two weeks to consume the first 500,000 copies printed.

But what they didn't expect was 500,000 copies! ! Only sold for one day.

This has never happened.

It can be said to have set a new starting record.

too crazy.

Gold house.

More and more readers are discussing The Devotion of Suspect X.

I was very resistant when I didn't watch it. After watching it, it smells so good.
