After Hiroto Akihara left, Oshiro Toshika lowered his head, looked at the title written on the manuscript - "Pokohata Rensaburo from the Police Department", and fell into deep thought.

Beat the other three publishing houses and become the number one in the industry? !

Teacher Akihara, you really set a goal that is full of temptations and frustrations!

[Chapter 185.184 Mystery Novelist's Ace]

After bidding farewell to Dashiro Lixiang, Akihara Yuto immediately walked out of the classroom and stopped a taxi by the side of the road.

He was walking in the back seat, looking at the scene outside the window that was constantly receding backwards, and remembered the manuscript he had just submitted - "Poko Hata Ren Saburo of the Police Department".

This work is a classic and well-known police detective reasoning work in Japanese history, with a total of 43 episodes.

In each episode, a complete clue can basically be formed: from the setting of suspense, the motive of the criminal, the clues discovered by the detective, and the conclusive evidence.

It has a beginning and an end, and progresses layer by layer, making many people feel happy after watching it.

On Douban in the previous life, many domestic viewers directly gave this work a high score of 9.2 points, and some even called it the most unmissable work in their evaluations.

Although wonderful, it is not that no one has raised objections.For example, some people say that the reason why this work became popular is because both the protagonist and the supporting actors are top-notch actors.

Having said that, no matter how good an actor is, he cannot be separated from his work.If there is a problem with the reasoning logic of the work, or if there is a flaw in the plot, then no matter how star halo supports it, it will not be able to support it.

In addition, although it is two different forms of expression from film and television dramas, the former may not be inferior to the latter in terms of the charm of characters.

For example, in the Sherlock Holmes series, how many people are directly moved and attracted by the protagonist in the book after watching the show.

This is also one of Hiroto Akihara's goals, which is to set up his own "Detective" series.

Many well-known reasoners often construct a detective who can continuously appear in different works, and describe it from his perspective, bringing readers into the fun of solving and deciphering the case.

For example, Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series, Agatha's Poirot Detective series, Higashino Keigo's Kaga Kyoichiro series, and Henggou Masashi's Jintian series.If it is not strictly divided, Conan can actually be counted.

Once an impressive "detective" can be established, the reasoner, as the creator, will undoubtedly hold a trump card IP.

With the operation of this IP alone, you can eat and drink in your next life without worrying about it!

Hiroto Akihara raised his head and looked at the street outside the car window.It is now the first ten days of December in Tokyo, and the temperature has begun to drop sharply, the lowest can reach 12 degrees Celsius.

But many women walking on the street are still wearing short skirts with their knees exposed.

Akihara Yuto couldn't help complaining, wearing so little, isn't he afraid of getting rheumatism and arthritis when he gets old?

Forget it, this has nothing to do with me, should I continue to consider other advantages and disadvantages after the release of the work "Poko Hata Ren Saburo", right?

Hiroto Akihara lowered his head and continued to think.

In terms of readers, this work has completely followed the path of short serialization, which greatly lowers the reading threshold, so there is no need to worry about some readers saying that they are impatient.

It's hard to say what the book reviewer said.After all, this work is purely for the market, so the difficulty of reasoning has been reduced.

All in all, there are pros and cons.

But trying to please everyone is undoubtedly a wrong idea, how could everyone like a work!

In the previous life, the domestic sales of Keigo Higashino's works alone can surpass the sum of all other Japanese reasoners combined.

But this does not mean that the works of other reasoners are much worse than his.

Therefore, this can only illustrate the fact that the content of Keigo Higashino's works greatly conformed to the tastes of readers in the domestic market at that time, so it formed the continuous recommendation of the public and public opinion.

But there are also many reasoning fans who think on the Internet that the things written by Keigo Higashino are not considered works of reasoning at all. After all, tricks and so on are too simple.

However, in Akihara Hiroto’s view, storytelling comes first for reasoning, so as long as it satisfies most readers, it’s fine!

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and he was also relieved about whether he chose this work as appropriate.

Now that the manuscript has been submitted, all that remains is to continue to ensure the quality of the manuscript, and then cooperate with the editorial department.

"Guest, we have reached our destination." Hearing this voice, Akihara Yuu came back to his senses.He looked out the car window and found that he had arrived at the door of his house at some point.

He immediately said "Sorry", then paid the money and left the taxi, walked into the house and went straight to the desk on the second floor, sat down and continued to write the manuscript behind "Furuhata Ren Saburo".

Although the next week's manuscript has been submitted, the more manuscripts are saved, the better.

In this way, he wrote from Saturday morning to Sunday 7:[-] pm, in addition to sleeping, he simply ate the bento brought by Asano Aiko.

But also because he never stopped writing, he finished the manuscript for the next two weeks.

Just when he was considering whether to take a break and go out for a night run, the phone from the entrance rang.

Who would call me at this time? Could it be that the editorial department has any comments on my manuscript? Yuuto Akihara was puzzled for a moment, then walked off and picked up the phone, "Hi, I'm Yuuto Akihara, may I ask... "

"It's me, Akihara." There was a noise from the microphone first, and then Shinta Kawai's voice, "I want to ask you something here, see if it's convenient for you to accept."

Hiroto Akihara was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded: "Chairman Kawai, please tell me."

He didn't directly answer whether to accept it or not, but he was still going to listen to what the president of Hehe had to say. If it was too troublesome, he would still find a reason to reject it.

Kawai Shinta coughed dryly, "It's like this. A friend of mine is a professor in the Department of Literature at Kyoto University. His research field is mainly film literature. He wants to invite you to give a lecture there."

Hiroto Akihara was slightly surprised, and then asked: "What is the lecture about?"

"The other party said that your "The Invisible Guest" used a very different writing method, so I would like to invite you to talk about your conception and design of the plot in the creation of this work."

Hiroto Akihara hesitated for a moment, then reacted immediately.

The work "The Invisible Guest" has been concerned by many people in the academic circles, and some related academic research articles have been published.But for this work, I have never disclosed my thoughts.

So maybe the professor of literature at Kyoto University probably wants to know the opinion of the original author?

"Akihara, think about it, and if you think it's appropriate, call me again." Kawai Shinta didn't intend to ask Akihara Hiroto to agree directly.

As the vice president of the Reasoning Writers Association, he has met quite a few writers over the years, but in his opinion, different writers have different ideas.

Some writers are so overjoyed that they want the whole world to know about them after being praised for a few words by book reviewers. They even take the initiative to contact them to give a series of lectures, trying to show their talents.

But there are also writers who are quite withdrawn, not to mention giving lectures, wishing not to even meet their family members.Some of them even went to the mountains to stay alone for the first half of the year in order to find creative inspiration.

Although Kawai Shinta was entrusted by others, he still felt that this kind of matter should be decided by Akihara himself.

After all, if the other party is not sure, they will only make a fool of themselves even if they give lectures on stage.

Hiroto Akihara also fell into hesitation, not knowing whether he would accept it, but just said "Think about it yourself".

"That's it for now. By the way, the time is next Tuesday morning." After Kawai Shinta said this, he hung up the phone. Anyway, he had fulfilled his duty of notification, and the rest was Akihara's own choice.

Hiroto Akihara also put down the microphone, walked back to the room, sat cross-legged on the tatami, and thought about the pros and cons of the lecture for him.
