This new series of magazines about Detective Zuomonji has only four episodes published so far. Hanyu Kiyosu flipped through the last three magazines and found out all the lines for his character, Nina Rentaro, little by little.
Thanks to his free time, he had watched literacy programs on TV with Yuzi before, otherwise he would have really had to work hard on this Japanese word splitting game.
The first episode seems to be a guide for readers to get started, so it is not that difficult. There is no use of the sentence about not pronouncing H. The translation is [please save me quickly].
In the second episode, after solving the word puzzle, you need to use the rule of silent H. Remove HA, HI, HU, HE, HO in Japanese, and the result is [where I am currently].
The clue we got in the third episode was [Kido Municipal Hotel]. Hanyu Kiyosu was stunned for a moment after explaining it, and then he suddenly realized that this was the Acupo Municipal Hotel next door.
There seems to be another rule here, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, the one with the closest name is Aipado Municipal Hotel. He worked backwards after knowing the conclusion, so he didn't need to get too hung up on the details. If it was generally correct, it would be fine.
The clue in the fourth episode is [Room 2047]...
Hanyu Kiyosu felt that this was really obvious. If the author was really kidnapped, and had the level and margin to design crossword puzzles, there would be no need to write a letter of help in four episodes. He could just explain it in the first episode and be done with it.
Already.
Hanyu Qing'an and Conan were playing charades here. The editor over there also finished reading Mao Lilan's manuscript. He said with some hesitation: "I've finished reading. Please wait."
"No, no, it should be." Mao Lilan said quickly.
"How about it?"
"Is it ready for serialization?"
Mouri Kogoro and Suzuki Sonoko were even more anxious than Mouri Ran himself. They both leaned forward and asked one after another.
The editor was so frightened by the two of them that he leaned back in his chair, took out a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and stammered:
"This... I have to say that the cases you experienced, Detective Maori, are really bizarre, and your reasoning is also wonderful."
Mouri Kogoro raised his head and laughed proudly, causing other people in the hall to look over. Maori Lan quickly pulled his sleeves and asked him to sit down and be quiet.
However, Suzuki Sonoko frowned. What the editor said sounded too familiar. Recently, when someone came to her father to ask for a guard, he chatted in the same way, and after the conversation, he began to refuse.
After the editor praised Mouri Kogoro, he started to praise Mourilan again.
"Miss Maori's writing style is also very delicate. The most rare thing is that the description of the reasoning is very organized, the logic is very clear, and the process is rigorous enough. It is rare for girls to be able to achieve this in both aspects at the same time.
."
The corners of Mouri Kogoro's mouth were pulled to the base of his ears, and it was obvious that he was happier than when the editor praised himself.
"only……"
Sure enough, the editor began to change his mind, and Suzuki Sonoko narrowed her eyes.
"Just what?" Mouri Kogoro stretched his head to listen.
The editor quietly stayed away from him, "However, the problem also lies here. In the narration of the background of the case, the advancement and development of the case, and the final emotion and sublimation, it is obvious that there is a unique perspective and delicate emotion of women.
describe."
"I'm not saying that it's not good to write like this, but it's just that this style of writing seems a little disconnected from the ruthless and absolutely rational logical inference style of the most exciting reasoning part."
"In addition, at the end of each case, it can be seen that the author wants to use the case to expose some social phenomena and arouse readers' resonance, but the writing is too direct and a bit too preachy."
The editor was embarrassed to say it directly, it was a bit like a student writing an essay.
"Where are you talking about?" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly asked, "Can you give me an example?"
Mao Lilan also nodded quickly. She was not discouraged. It was a rare opportunity to get guidance from a professional editor.
And what the other party said was very accurate. The reasoning part was indeed not written by her. Although she re-described it in her own words, the pure rationality of that part was still very obvious, and the sense of separation still existed.
The editor flipped through it, found the most impressive paragraph, and pointed it out to the people across from him.
"This paragraph is the speech of the grandmother of the deceased - no one in this world deserves to die. I say this not to mean that I forgive the mistake made by the young lady, but no matter who dies, there will definitely be someone who is sad.
Yeah, it's enough for me to suffer this kind of pain alone, I don't want to harm others..."
"This kind of preaching is too obvious. It might have been fine a few years ago, but recent readers may not be able to accept it."
Mao Lilan explained in a low voice, "But this is true. It was said by the person in that case. Although I have changed the names and backgrounds of the characters, I have not changed this sentence at all.
."
"That's it..." The editor coughed a little uncomfortably, and then explained:
"This... things in novels are still different from reality. There are various possibilities in reality, but certain rules must be followed in novels, so that your novel can be more attractive to read."
Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Kogoro both leaned forward and looked at each other with unkind expressions, and the editor quickly changed to the next topic.
"In addition, as mentioned just now, let me first state that this is a fixed process in our industry. Every author must verify and confirm. There is no special meaning."
"That is, you have to ensure that you own the complete copyright of your own work and cannot plagiarize other people's works. Do you understand this?"
Seeing Mao Lilan nod, the editor relaxed a little and continued to explain:
"This work of yours... because this is too obvious, I need to confirm with you more. Did you complete the reasoning part that is obviously different from the overall writing style independently? Miss Maori?"
"If not..."
The editor looked at Kogoro Mouri next to him and thought that the famous detective probably helped his daughter perfect this part. In this case, it would be best to sign the names of two people.
Although the gimmick of a beautiful high school student mystery writer is very useful, it was later revealed that her father who is a detective co-wrote it. How popular it was before, it will be difficult to explain later. After working in this industry for a long time, he still sees it
Clear.
Mao Lilan suddenly realized that she had said that she would add Shinichi's name before, but just now she was so concerned about the editor's evaluation that she even forgot to mention such an important thing.
"Ah, sorry, I forgot to mention that the reasoning part was written by Shinichi and me."
"Shinichi?"
"Shinichi?!"
Both the editor and Kogoro Mori were very puzzled, and the latter was even more angry. Why was there something about that brat when his daughter wrote a book for him?
"It's my... friend. I don't know if you have heard of him. He has been frequently reported in newspapers and TV before. High school student detective Kudo Shinichi."
Mao Lilan explained a little embarrassedly that although she did not ignore this matter on purpose, to outsiders, it might look like she was deliberately concealing it and wanted to sign only one person's name on the book.
"Oh? You mean Kudo Shinichi?"
The editor's eyes instantly lit up. This is so interesting. The father and friends of the beautiful girl writer are both well-known detectives. This is great publicity.
