"Akihara, the signing time is scheduled for 1:[-] in the afternoon, and the venue has been set up." Asano Aiko took two steps forward, ready to take the luggage from Akihara Hiroto, and then added: ""April Youth" "The editorial department has also booked a hotel, why don't you go to the guest room to rest and come back later."

Hiroto Akihara handed her the luggage smoothly. Actually, there were not many things, just souvenirs and a luggage bag with some manuscripts inside.

He waved his hand and said, "No, just help me keep my belongings. It's too troublesome to run back and forth from the hotel to here."

Asano Aiko nodded, and did not continue to persuade her. She is now the assistant of Akihara Hiroto, and she only needs to do auxiliary work.

"By the way, where's the editor-in-chief Oshiro?" Yuto Akihara looked and found that there was no shadow of the other party. According to the previous statement, Oshiro Lixiang would also come over in person.

Awazu Hideki immediately answered: "Mr. Akihara, there is a little delay with Oshiro's editor-in-chief, but she will come over in the evening."

After a pause, he said politely, "Would you like to take a look at the venue? Or sit in a nearby coffee shop?"

"Coffee shop." Hiroto Akihara thought for a while, the signing venue was the same, no matter how beautiful it was, it would be meaningless if no one came.

In contrast, publicity is the top priority of the signing.

Awazu Hideki nodded, then took out his mobile phone and made a call, and then a black business car drove over and took the three of them to a nearby high-end coffee shop.

It is said to be a high-end coffee shop, but in fact it is better decorated, and the price is twice as expensive as that of ordinary coffee shops.

Hiroto Akihara sat on the seat, motioned for Asano Aiko to take out a pen and paper from the gift bag, and began to create the next manuscript of "Furuhata Rensaburo", "The Kabuki Actor Murder Case".

……

"The Murder of a Kabuki Actor" is the second episode of the Guhata series, and some people call it the most classic episode of ordinary episodes.

The plot of the story is roughly as follows: Before the performance, the famous kabuki performer Ukon Nakamura had a dispute with a security guard who had previously collected money from him and helped to conceal the time of his crash. During the dispute, the security guard’s head hit the corner of the table and died .

Nakamura Ukon hid the body behind the dressing room, then continued to perform on stage as if nothing had happened, and moved the body to the basement after the performance.When no one was around, he used a lift to transport the body to the ceiling, pushed it down and faked the scene of falling to death.

After receiving the alarm, Guhata came to the scene with his assistant Imaizumi, and met Nakamura Ukon who wanted to slip away.Guhata pretended to be a fan of the other party, spied on the information, and expressed his confusion as to why the security guard climbed to the ceiling.

Nakamura Ukon explained that many stray cats have settled in theaters recently, and they may have fallen to catch cats.But when explaining why the deceased went up to the ceiling without a flashlight, Nakamura Ukon's explanation made Guhata even more suspicious...

Immediately afterwards, the two started a battle of wits and courage under their respective plans...

After about 3 hours, Hiroto Akihara wrote the entire plot from scratch, and it took almost 25 pages, which is about 1 words.

At this stage, Aiko Asano and Hideki Awazu didn't speak, but just lowered their heads to deal with work or read books - it is a major rule of the editor not to disturb the writer when he is creating.

"It's finished," Hiroto Akihara put down his pen, and then handed the manuscript to Hideki Awazu, "Editor Awazu, this is the manuscript for the next issue."

Awazu Hideki, who was dealing with work, opened his eyes in surprise when he saw the thick stack of manuscripts handed over by Hiroto Akihara.Asano Aiko, who knew about Akihara's writing speed, also showed a faint smile after seeing Hideki Awazu's expression.

Awazu Hideki still couldn't believe it. He thought Akihara Yuto just wanted to write a draft first, but he didn't expect to push out the first issue of the article. Is this too scary?

Having said that, is the quality of the manuscripts rushed out in such a hurry guaranteed?

He hesitated to accept the manuscript, and said helplessly: "Teacher Qiuyuan, if you change it again, just give it to me the day after tomorrow."

He is still not at ease, after all, the serialization of "April Youth" will mainly focus on the other party's work.If Hiroto Akihara just provided a work in a perfunctory manner, it is very likely that the reputation of the series "Furuhata Ren Saburo" will be ruined!

At that time, let alone becoming the number one in the industry, it is estimated that readers and book reviewers will hang up and scold it!

"Editor Awazu, please take a look first, and I'll modify it if you think there are any problems," Hiroto Akihara said confidently. After all, everything was in his head, so he just copied and pasted it with human flesh.

The speed at which he can write Japanese now is many times faster than when he first traveled here!

Seeing that the other party said so, Awazu Hideki could only nod his head, and then read the manuscript intently.He made up his mind, if Akihara Hiroto was really perfunctory, he would not accept this manuscript even if he let the next issue of this series be suspended!

Time passed bit by bit, and after about 20 minutes, Awazu Hideki finished reading the manuscript in his hand.

But after reading it, he couldn't help but froze.The story advances smoothly, and the reasoning and tricks are set up very reasonably. Even the "psychological warfare" between Furuhata and Nakamura Ukon is vividly depicted.

Such a work with a well-written plot may take other writers a week, but Mr. Akihara only takes 1 hours? !

He looked down at the manuscript, then looked up at Hiroto Akihara, who was drinking coffee nonchalantly, and a bigger doubt appeared in his heart.

How did this person's brain grow!

[Chapter 196.195 Enthusiastic Osaka people]

After delivering the manuscript, Hiroto Akihara followed Hideki Awazu to a nearby western restaurant for lunch.

He didn't dare to eat too much, so as not to get sleepy during the signing meeting - Japan doesn't have the habit of taking a nap, so he can't ask others to accommodate him, after all, the time has been arranged.

At around 1:[-] p.m., he sat in the black car arranged by Hideki Awazu and returned to the large bookstore, which was the site of the signing.

Different from the situation in the morning, there is now a long queue in the shape of an "L" on the street in front of this bookstore.

Hiroto Akihara made a rough estimate, and found that the number of people present exceeded 600, and it was still increasing.

Not only that, but on the road next to the crowd, there were even two police cars parked, and three inspectors in police uniforms waved their batons and shouted "Pay attention to order."

Hiroto Akihara was very puzzled when he saw this scene. After all, there were quite a lot of people at the signing event in Tokyo before, but the police were not dispatched, right?

But Hideki Awazu immediately explained, saying that the Metropolitan Police Department issued an order to ask the police stations in various places to take precautions against the society to avoid stampede accidents like those in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Stampede?

Hiroto Akihara recalled the recent news, and remembered the report of this incident - because of the chaos of the fireworks display, two streams of people at the venue stampede, resulting in the death of 9 children and 2 elderly people...

This is indeed a bit unfortunate...

Knowing the situation, Hiroto Akihara sighed inwardly, followed by Hideki Awazu and walked into the bookstore from the back door with a nod, and sat on the signing table of the signing event.

Immediately afterwards, Hideki Awazu informed the staff of the bookstore, announcing the start of the book signing.

……

The signing session started at 1:10 and lasted until [-]:[-] p.m., with people coming continuously in the middle.

In addition to "April Youth" which is the main body of the book signing, there are book fans who brought the booklet issued by Hiroto Akihara before, hoping to sign it.Naturally, Hiroto Akihara agreed to all the requests of book fans.

In order to speed up the process of the signing meeting, Hideki Awazu shortened the individual meeting time for each book fan, and gave small gifts to avoid the other party's dissatisfaction.

Even for book fans who were waiting in the cold wind, steaming hot tea was delivered.

But even if the speed is accelerated, there are still many book fans who have not obtained signatures by the end of the signing session.

In order to appease these book fans, the editorial department of the organizer sold a batch of signed books prepared in advance to the other party at a low price of 7% off.The employees in work uniforms kept bowing and apologizing to each other.

When it was time to leave at 10:20, whether it was Yuto Akihara, Awazu, Asano, the bookstore staff and temporary recruiters who were in charge of ordering the scene, none of them felt tired.

In order to reward everyone on the field, Hiroto Akihara skipped the editorial department, took out money and asked everyone to have a meal at the nearby teppanyaki, and then dispersed.

……

After saying goodbye to everyone, Hiroto Akihara and Aiko Asano returned to the hotel booked for them by the editorial department of "April Youth".
