"Good morning, Mr. Marple."

"I'm Trithick, editor of the Hestings Clarion."

"It's an honor to meet you."

When Goethe's eyes swept over, the other party began to introduce himself.

"Hello."

Goethe responded kindly.

Goethe naturally knew why the other party came.

He had been promoting his new book so hard yesterday that the papers in Hestings would know what to do if they weren't fools.

However, it was beyond Goethe's expectation that the other party had been waiting here so early.

"Come to my drawing room, if you can."

"My maid is very good at cooking and can also make tea. You should need a cup of hot tea."

Goethe sent an invitation.

"That really couldn't be better!"

Trishick let out a sigh.

He felt Goethe's kindness.

Why did he come so early.

Isn't it just for this kindness?

In order to prevent this kindness from being consumed for no reason, the editor-in-chief said directly after sitting down in the reception room: "As long as there are no problems with your manuscript, the "Clarion" will give you the highest level of treatment, and you will also be given the highest level of treatment." Your freedom will not be restricted, and you don’t need to agree immediately, you can consult the treatment of other newspapers in Hessetings, they will come soon.”

"You are an honest man."

Goethe took the tea offered by Maria.

Just plain tea.

But this is enough.

He never wants to eat scrambled egg sauce again.

"Because, compared with other newspapers, the strength of our "Clarion" is not an absolute advantage, so we need to be honest to win your favor."

Trishick said with a smile.

smart people!

Goethe evaluated from the bottom of his heart.

The other party knew very well that after his propaganda yesterday, the initiative was no longer in the hands of the newspaper.

At least, that's the case at this stage.

Rather than being harsh and losing, it is better to gain generously and honestly.

Afterwards, the two chatted.

Between about 08:30 and [-]:[-], people from seven or eight newspaper offices with considerable strength in Hessetings arrived one after another.

And the end result?

Goethe chose the Hestings Daily.

After reading the manuscript, the other party gave them the same freedom as the "Clarion", and the treatment was more than double that of the "Clarion".

Of course, the most important thing is that the other party is the number one selling newspaper in Hessetings.

"Hope we can work together next time!"

At the time of farewell, Trithick shook hands with Goethe without the slightest irritation.

"Of course!"

Goethe nodded affirmatively.

Now he needs 'attention' too much.

Having overcome the immediate difficulties, Goethe does not mind cooperating with the other party.

"I need to rest, wake me up in the evening."

"Don't bother me if it's not necessary."

Goethe ordered the maid.

"Okay, master."

Maria nodded repeatedly.

Goethe walked to the bedroom on the third floor.

After closing the door, he went to the closet.

Pulling open the closet, several money bags just fell out.

How could it be possible to write a book overnight!

Naturally, I'm going to do some side business!

At this moment, Goethe's wardrobe is full of banknotes!

With such a harvest, Goethe is also a little surprised!

In the beginning, Goethe just asked a few gang members to ask where the five people he killed yesterday afternoon came from, just to keep people from thinking about him, but the first few waves of people didn't know.

Therefore, he had to travel a few more places before completing his goal.

Goethe, who had made outstanding contributions to the law and order of Hessetings unknowingly, glanced at the wealth that reached '5', began to carefully count the extra gains, and then began to clean up the last tail.

"There are 150 gold crowns and 21000 banknotes."

"And 40 silver crowns and 20 copper crowns."

"Except for gold krona, silver krona and copper krona are getting rarer... Are banknotes becoming the mainstream currency in the true sense?"

Goethe keenly noticed the difference through the 'contribution' of several small gangs around him.

"It should be a regulation at the national level. Is there anything that can be used?"

Lying on the bed, Goethe thought.

Then, he heard Maria's footsteps.

Very hurried, and a little flustered.

The next moment, the door was knocked——

"Master, two police officers want to see you!"

Chapter 62 Occasionally there are accidents!

First floor, living room.

Goethe did not use the drawing room.

The reception room is open to friends.

The two policemen in front of them were far from being guests.

When one of them walked into No. 11 Kimmel Street, Maria's face turned pale with fright, and Goethe stepped forward and patted the maid's shoulder lightly, signaling that they don't need to entertain them.

Then Goethe just sat down.

He neither invited the other party to sit down nor ordered tea.

Goethe just looked at the two of them and asked indifferently.

"What's up?"

"Last night you..."

"We are here to visit you. I am really sorry for what happened yesterday—I hope you can understand that not everyone is like that."

The aggressive policeman spoke in a bad tone, and was about to question Goethe, but was interrupted by another policeman.

Goethe looked at the policeman.

Young, with soft facial features, those eyes that looked like fox eyes were squinting at the moment, and the other party sitting there maintained a casual posture, as if he was visiting a friend, not the police.

Goethe frowned secretly.

He wasn't worried about the aggressive guy next to him. This guy had everything written on his face, and his personality could be called simple, so he was easy to deal with.

On the contrary, it is this kind of smiling guy who deserves vigilance.

When I was in my hometown, there was an apt description for this kind of guy: a smiling tiger!

This guy in front of him gave Goethe this feeling.

"I'm Sheriff Lanster, and this is my partner Ge Gen."

"It's a great honor for you to receive us. You must know that you are now a celebrity in Hessetings. I read a lot of newspapers this morning, and they all reported your deeds."

Lanster complimented Goethe.

In this regard, Goethe remained indifferent.

He knew why the other party came.

There are both yesterday's events and last night's events.

As for celebrities?

Glancing at 【Fame: 2/100】, Goethe is very clear about his position.

Different from the fast-paced hometown, the popularity of traditional paper media such as newspapers is 'not fast' - when there was an accident in my hometown today, everyone ate melons and was filled with righteous indignation, and then the reversal came tomorrow, everyone was confused and felt like being tricked .

The paper media is different.

It takes several days, or even more than ten days, for a piece of news to ferment. This matter is still fresh.

because……

Not everyone reads newspapers, and newspapers have limited circulation.

Especially people who read newspapers have a habit: most people will choose a newspaper to read!

And read a lot of newspapers?

Naturally, there is a picture!

"You care about me?"

Goethe asked.

"Of course!"

"Because of what happened yesterday, I really hope to meet you!"

"So, I hope to get to know you through the newspaper!"
