tokyo writer

For example, his reasoning work "Points and Lines" established a form of socialist reasoning, but there is a certain gap with some later works in terms of tricks and logical design.

If he writes his works again, maybe it will be reduced to the point where only some readers appreciate it, just like the works of Edogawa Ranpo before.

After all, this is no longer the age when reasoning was just sprouting.

If none of them are suitable, what about Miyabe Miyuki?

Akihara Yuto weighed it and found that it was a very good choice.

First of all, Miyuki Miyabe made her debut in 1987 and has been active in the forefront of the field of reasoning literature. Her works are undoubtedly very "down-to-earth" and do not need to consider contemporary issues.

Moreover, in the neon literary world, she is also one of the few female writers who can rival Keigo Higashino in terms of sales volume and word-of-mouth, and has won the Mystery Writers Association Award and the Naoki Award.

After much deliberation, he finally set his goal, and the car just happened to send him downstairs to the apartment.

He pressed the elevator back home, made a cup of coffee, sat at the desk in the study, and began to write Miyuki Miyabe's masterpiece "The Train".

This "Yomiuri Shimbun" called it "the greatest reasoning and suspense in Japan in the past 20 years". Although the words are exaggerated, the plot is indeed very good.

It tells the story of a policeman on suspension, Honma, entrusted by his nephew Kazuya to help find his fiancée Akiko who suddenly disappeared.

Zhangzi's education is not high, and he is disliked by Kazuya's family members, but the two have a good relationship and have made a private decision for life.

The cause of the incident was that He wanted to help Zhangzi apply for a credit card, but unexpectedly discovered that Zhangzi had filed for personal bankruptcy before.

Then he went to ask Zhangzi, and there was some unhappiness between the two, and Zhangzi disappeared the next day.

As a policeman, Honma started the investigation. The first step was to go to the place where Zhang Zi worked.

It was a small company with only 3 people. The boss, Imai, and a girl named Xiaomi. Honma heard about Akiko's general situation from them. After the quarrel with He Ye, he never went to work again.

Honma got her resume when she joined the company and planned to find more information, but after a telephone consultation, it was found that the companies filled in the resume were all false information.

In desperation, Honma found the law firm where Zhang Zi had declared bankruptcy before, and consulted the lawyer who handled her case at the time.

Lawyer Mizoguchi knew a little bit about Zhang Zi's previous situation, and even knew that Zhang Zi had worked in a nightclub before. Zhang Zi fell into a debt crisis because of excessive use of credit cards, and finally had to declare bankruptcy.

In order to understand clearly, Honma specially brought Zhang Zi's photo here today.

But a creepy thing happened. After looking at the photo that Honma took for 10 seconds, Mizoguchi clearly told Honma that the person in the photo was not Akiko Sekine, and he did not know the person in the photo...

With this confusion in mind, Honma and Kazuya re-inquired about the place where the fake Akiko lived before he disappeared, found the previous photo album of the fake Akiko, and found that the fake Akiko used gasoline to wash the exhaust fan.

At the same time, Honma asked a colleague from the police station to help inquire about the fake Zhangzi's household registration information.

In the household registration information, they found that Sekine Akiko had newly established a household registration in Fangnan Town, and her name was the only one on the household registration, and both parents had passed away.

Judging from the new household registration information, this fake Sekine Akiko is not only trying to borrow the household registration, she actually wants to completely replace this identity.

So, who is Sekine Akiko?

Immediately afterwards, the two began their journey to find out the true identity of the fake Zhangzi and where the real Zhangzi was.

After a series of investigations, they found that the fake Zhangzi was named Xincheng Qiaozi, a native of Koriyama, Japan.

His parents borrowed money to buy houses and spent too much in the early years, so they had to take out usury loans. Finally, because they could not bear the urging of debt collection companies, the family fled from their hometown of Koriyama.

In order to prevent the debt collection company from getting her whereabouts, Xincheng Qiaozi's family went their separate ways, but the debt collection company still learned that her mother was forced to prostitute herself, took drugs, and eventually died tragically;

After my father managed to escape from the clutches of the debt collection company, he was no longer able to work and disappeared after a phone call from the Bridge of Tears;

Xincheng Qiaozi finally met Prince Charming and got married, but was chased by the debt collection company again because of changing her household registration.

Because the debts of their family belonged to their fathers, they legally did not need Xincheng Qiaozi to repay, but under the pervasive coercion of debt collection companies, it was impossible for Xincheng Qiaozi to stay out of the matter.

Under the coercion of the debt collection company, the marriage came to an end.

After the marriage failed, Xincheng Qiaozi began to think, is it possible to obtain happiness as long as I remain anonymous?

So she killed someone else, used someone else's household registration to start a new life, but she was still exposed.

But when she was exposed, she still wanted to hurt another innocent person to continue her escape...

It took a week for Hiroto Akihara to finish writing this work and bring it to the publishing house for publication.

[310.3 Chapter Nine: The New Peak of the Socialist School]

Because it had to be published before the review and selection deadline, Hiroto Akihara's "Train" was rushed to the market after proofreading.

Even for the cover, a fixed template was used to save time.

And the number of first editions is also rare, only [-] copies, no more than the [-] copies of the first edition of the previous reasoning works.

However, for Hiroto Akihara's return to reasoning, the managers of the cooperative bookstore in Tokyo are full of joy, although the traditional literary works written by Hiroto Akihara before are not bad.

But in terms of audience, traditional literature is still far inferior to reasoning.

Therefore, at the trial reading meeting, [-] copies of the [-] volumes were quickly sold out, which is equivalent to almost [-] copies sold in every bookstore.

As for the remaining [-] copies, half of them were handed over to the two distributors, Tokyo Sales and Neon Sales.

But that doesn't mean a change in attitude for the two dealer giants.

In fact, during the settlement of the payment, the Tsutaya Bookstore was embarrassed by the other party and delayed the payment.

Generally speaking, book trading companies such as distributors usually have financial functions.

When they order books from the publishing house, they will first pay a sum of money as the purchase price, and then sell the ordered books to the bookstore to collect all the money.

After the shipment payment is fully collected and a certain period of time (beyond the book return time), they will return the remaining payment to the publisher.

For such a "disgusting" little action, Akihara Yuto didn't take it seriously.

After all, after "Memories of Murder" was released, the funds collected at the box office greatly supplemented the amount on the account, so Tsutaya Bookstore Publishing House is currently not short of money.

And when his plan is actually implemented half a year later, he will kick off these two distributors and completely realize his direct connection with bookstores across the country.

However, despite this small episode, the [-] copies of the first edition of "Train" were successfully launched and entered the display stands of various bookstores.

Yokohama, Hodogaya Ward, Akari Bookstore.

As usual, Uesugi Sonoko came over to look for the reasoning works she liked to watch.

When passing by the literature and art books, she lowered her body and began to read step by step.

"Hey, why are there no new reasonings after reading this batch?"
