The Advent of the Infinite King

The editor continued: "Of course, this is what we wished for, so we quickly stopped the new serialization work and started publishing the stories of the Zuowen series."

"I see." Mori Kogoro nodded, but still felt that this clue was not enough, "Is there anything else?"

Xie Chen also felt that it was impossible to find Xinming Xiangbaoli's father with this little thing.

The editor crossed his arms and thought for a while, and after a while, he patted his thigh and said, "I remembered, but in fact, it has nothing to do with the teacher himself."

Mori Kogoro straightened up, beckoning him to continue.

The editor said: "He specifically wrote this passage at the beginning of the story."

He raised a finger and said seriously: "Attention all famous detectives in the country, if you want to get over my head, just try to solve the mystery of this incident."

Xie Chen frowned slightly. He felt that this passage was not as simple as the content of the novel, but was implying something.

Mori Kogoro said: "This statement is indeed full of provocation."

"That's right." The editor said with a smile: "Because of this, in the first issue of our serialization, we received a lot of phone calls and letters from a certain guy who was very suspicious and what the murderer's methods were."

He scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "From the standpoint of the publishing house, I'm very happy, but I still think it's unusual for a gentle person like Mr. Xinming to do this."

"But this time, fans of mystery novels have been waiting for ten years, and finally published the latest series of works. It is not surprising that there will be such a big response."

Mori Kogoro remembered what he said when he was eating, and said with a smile: "Looking forward? Are you really looking forward to it?"

"Yes."

The editor nodded, "About half a year ago, a radical detective fan said that if the book was not re-serialized, our publishing house would be set on fire. We have also received such troublesome calls."

Mori Kogoro couldn't think of anything for a while, so he said, "This person is too radical."

The new Nakahori sitting next to him was a little disappointed, and there was no hope this time around.

"That's right, that's right." The editor suddenly said, "To talk about something unusual, I remembered one more thing."

Mori Kogoro and Shinna Kabori's eyes lit up, looking at him expectantly.

The editor said: "The teacher himself also appeared in the novel, and the new teacher appeared in the story as an old friend of Zuo Wenwen."

"However, in the story, he is described as a novelist who lives in France and is not very popular. There will be more than 40 stories in this series. This is the teacher's first initiative."

"I think at the end of the story, the previous cases should all end with the words the teacher heard from detective Zuo Wenwen. If you look at Holmes, he is equivalent to Watson."

He is very talkative, and he can't stop talking about Xinming Teacher's novel. After he finished speaking, Xie Chen asked, "Can we see this scene?"

"Yes." He agreed without hesitation, and got up to get the manuscript.

Chapter 260 Three Deep Sorrows

"It is mentioned in the story that Zuo's words must refer to the reasoning and opinions of the novelist who lives in France, so he made a phone call to France."

The editor handed the manuscript to Xie Chen, and introduced them in detail: "This is the scene where the new teacher first appeared. It is very interesting to describe the teacher as a dull old man."

Xie Chen took the manuscript, he was not interested in the plot of the story, he nodded perfunctorily while flipping through the pages quickly.

After flipping through more than ten pages in a row, he stopped and said, "This is too strange. You can see for yourself that twelve here at twelve o'clock is a Chinese character, but at one o'clock it becomes a number. Teacher Xinming doesn't like that." As for being so confused."

The new name, Xiang Baoli, leaned over with a happy expression on her face. She was unwilling to let go of any clues, no matter how subtle, and also secretly admired Xie Chen's meticulous observation skills.

Mori Kogoro took the manuscript paper, read it carefully, and murmured, "It's really not right, could it be that it was a typo?"

He raised his head, smiled and said, "I don't think there will be such a thing."

"That's impossible."

The editor quickly said: "In my opinion, I think the teacher changed it to make it easier for us to read. The teacher said that the performance of words is the life of a novelist, and it must not be changed at will."

He scratched his head, his tone very sure.

"Before the serialization, he called us several times to warn us. He also said that if we didn't publish the novel according to his wishes, he would immediately stop the serialization of the novel. There was absolutely no mistake."

Xie Chen frowned slightly. If it was true what he said, it would be even more suspicious. This novel seemed to hide some secret.

Thinking of this, he walked to the table, looked at the manuscripts on the table, and fell into deep thought. The most suspicious thing was actually the autograph of Teacher Xinming. If he was right, Teacher Xinming might have...

Just then, the fax machine rang.

The editor was pleasantly surprised: "Great, the teacher's manuscript has been delivered."

Mori Kogoro rushed to get it, but was stopped by the editor, "You can't read it yet, these are stories of reasoning. If you want to read it, you can buy it and watch it after we publish it."

Xie Chen didn't care about these, and grabbed two chapters directly, and just took a look at it, and was taken away by Kogoro Mouri.

"What are you doing?" Mori Kogoro took away the manuscript paper with a serious face, but read it himself.

Xie Chen said helplessly, "I think his signature is very strange."

Xinming Xiang Baoli stood aside silently, hearing Xie Chen's words, his eyes showed anticipation again.

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro looked at the manuscript paper just passed in puzzlement.

Xie Chen said sternly, "The signatures from the sixth to the eighth episodes are all exactly the same."

Mori Kogoro faced the manuscript paper to the light, and the signatures overlapped.

"Every episode from episode [-] to episode [-] is a little bit different, why is that?"

"That's not easy." Mori Kogoro opened his mouth and said, "Of course the new teacher overshadowed the previous signature."
