Would it be too hasty to write it this way?

The first conflict happened soon. Hanaoka and her daughter killed their ex-husband because of the conflict, and Ishigami took the initiative to help them. Then, the police found the body and confirmed that the body was the ex-husband through the hotel records.

This plot caught Uesugi Yuanko's heart at once, and made her put aside her original doubts and became nervous involuntarily.

Then, the police investigated the case and determined when the victim was killed, but when they questioned the mother and daughter, they found that they had alibi.

What is the method used by Ishigami?How did he do that?

Huh?When Shishen saw Yasuko Hanaoka dating another man, he threatened her, what the hell, how could he do such a thing, isn't that the same as her ex-husband!

Mr. Akihara, what kind of protagonist do you want to write?

With her trust in Akihara-sensei, Uesugi Sonoko held back her impatience and continued watching.But she watched and found that she was moved by the rhythm of the plot step by step.

Time passed bit by bit, and 5 hours passed quickly, and Uesugi Yuanzi also turned the book to the last page.

Following Yasuko Hanaoka's confession, the picture freezes on the scene where Ishigami kneels on the ground and wants to vomit his soul.

At this time, Uesugi Yuanzi came back to his senses and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

I was worried that this new work would not be able to reach the level of "ZOO", but looking at it now, the structure of the entire plot and the depth of humanity are already superior.

The proficiency of the writing, the ingenuity of the plot, and the interpretation of human nature all express the unusualness of this work. To be honest, this "Devotion of Suspect X" is enough to occupy a place in today's mystery fiction world.

Even if he won the Uemura Award, it wouldn't be too surprising, would it? !

Uesugi Yuanko admired secretly in her heart, she closed her eyes, and thought about other aspects.

But it's still a bit strange. From the previous book, Mr. Akihara's writing style was still a little immature, but from this book, he suddenly became a lot more proficient.

In addition, from the perspective of style, there are still subtle differences between the two works.

However, the theme of the book is still based on human nature, which is consistent from beginning to end.

Uesugi Sonoko thought for a while, feeling more and more excited.Although the story ended in tragedy, she had to admit that the ups and downs of the story gave her a feeling of joy!

Sure enough, it was a surprise!

No, I have to post on the Internet to promote this book well so that more fellow readers can read it!

……

At 7:[-] p.m., the headquarters of Mantanshe, the editorial department of "New Novel".

As the new editor-in-chief, Kazuhiro Matsushima sat at the desk, staring at the book in his hand in a daze.On this black-covered book, the words "Devotion of Suspect X" are clearly written.

This afternoon, when the statistics department was investigating the bookstore, they accidentally discovered this book written by Hiroto Akihara.Immediately afterwards, he contacted himself conveniently and informed him of the situation.

With a skeptical attitude, Matsushima and Hiro immediately arranged for someone to go to a nearby bookstore to buy the book.

In fact, Matsushima and Hiro had speculated about Hiroto Akihara's recent statement that he had no inspiration and could not write a book, wondering whether the other party would go to the other three major publishing houses.What he didn't expect was that the other party found a small publishing house.

Looking at the words "Anjiu Bookstore" on the back of the book, Kazuhiro Matsushima smiled disdainfully, thinking that Hiroto Akihara was really too young.

It's just a little bit of grievance, can't you just bear it, and even if you want to change the family, you need some large-scale platforms.As for Anjiu Bookstore, what is that?

Matsushima and Hong shook his head, he opened the book, intending to take a closer look at what was written in the book...

In his opinion, this work may not be very good. After all, talented writers who have exhausted their talents are not uncommon in the RB literary world every year...

As for this Mr. Akihara, he is also a part of it.

With contempt, Matsushima and Hiro looked up.

From Ishigami's suicide to being moved by his mother and daughter, from his ex-husband being killed to Ishigami's voluntary visit, from the frustration of the police in solving the case to Yukawa's coming to seek evidence, from Ishigami's decision to surrender himself to Hanaoka Yasuko's voluntary plea...

As time passed, the sky became darker, and even the traffic on the road outside the window became less and less.

By the time Matsushima and Hiro put down their books, the clock in the office had already pointed to 1 am.

Matsushima Kazuhiro put down the book and narrowed his eyes involuntarily. He was surprised to find that in the process of reading, he himself was deeply moved by the plot, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.

Since even a professional like myself thinks so, then ordinary readers might think so too, right?

In this case, the sales volume of this book may exceed my expectations.

This might cause him a lot of trouble!

Matsushima and Hiro stood up, and at the same time, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists.

Damn it, Kihara Daigo and Takei Kohei, it's all your fault for doing good deeds!If you hadn't manipulated the award selection, why would the other party not cooperate with "New Novel".

No, Hiroto Akihara is still a signed writer of "New Novel", so all the responsibility lies with himself.

From this point of view, the better the book sells, the greater the criticism and pressure I will receive.

It seems that we still have to talk to Hiroto Akihara!

[105.1 Chapter [-] sales on the first day]

On October 10, Anjiu Bookstore.

Hiroto Akihara stepped on the creaky stairs and walked into the office on the second floor. In the office, all the employees, including Goichi Akutsu, had already arrived.

As soon as An Jiujin saw that Akihara Yuto had arrived, he announced the start of the routine meeting. He coughed and was about to announce the first-day sales of "The Devotion of Suspect X".

Everyone on the field was a little nervous for a while. After all, whether the book sells well is related to the operation of Anjiu Bookstore, and it is even more related to everyone's salary and bonus.

Hiroto Akihara looked around and found that the faces of the two female employees, Satake Maki and Itakura Naka, were tense. Oka Yuto and Nagao swallowed their saliva. Sota Nishijima also narrowed his eyes.

As soon as An Jiujin didn't hold back, he opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper, took a deep breath, and read out: "According to the feedback from the direct sales bookstore and distributors, the sales volume on the first day was 1200 copies."

After saying this, he bowed: "During this time, everyone has worked hard!"

Akutsu Goichi felt a little uneasy in his heart. Although he judged that this work of Akihara Hiroto had the potential to sell well, but the judgment was only a judgment after all, and it was difficult for him to relax before seeing the actual sales data.

Now that the data is released, it proves that his vision is correct!

Hearing this result, everyone on the field was also relieved, Hiroto Akihara smiled, the expressions of Maki Satake and Naka Itakura relaxed, Yusho Oka and Teppei Nagao glanced at each other, Nishijima Zongtai clenched his fist.

The office was quiet for a moment, followed by applause and cheers!

The sales volume of 1200 copies on the first day means that this book will not be subject to a large number of returns like those published before. In other words, everyone does not have to worry about facing salary cuts and layoffs.

Just as An Jiujin stood up and smiled, he clapped his hands and said, "The first week's sales won't come until next Monday. Before that, I hope everyone will do their jobs well."

Then, he announced the dissolution of the meeting, but turned to Akihara Yuto and said, "Teacher Akihara, please stay here for a while."
