Chapter 515 Draw All the Judges in Their Original Form!
"Weekly Shonen High" is a comics magazine, but the business scope of the company it belongs to, Eishu, covers the entire publishing industry, novels, teaching materials, children's books, and of course, mystery novels.
Let's not talk about Hojo Kyosuke's own "The Devotion of Suspect X". The person that Eishu helped him find as an introducer for joining the company, Tsuyoshi Oosaka, is a mystery novelist who has been tied to the publishing house for many years.
However, this time, when Tetsuya Shimomura asked the author of mystery themes, he did not ask Tsuyoshi Oosaka, who is an acquaintance, but another mystery novelist. Then, I don't know how the general content of the comics was leaked. There will be no trouble in terms of copyright. Japan's copyright protection is quite strict. Ordinary citizens will be considered "digital theft" if they just take pictures of comics with their mobile phones in bookstores, not to mention the works of the top writers of this magazine.
The scope of dissemination is not wide, but it just happened to cause trouble for Hojo Kyosuke, but it will not rise to the legal level.
There are five judges for the Neon Mystery Writers Association Award, among whom Tsuyoshi Osaka is a staunch supporter of Hojo Kyosuke. From the beginning, he actively helped his friend to lobby other judges, giving up the one vote of the aberration faction that he absolutely could not get, and the one vote of the new orthodox faction that would be very troublesome, and focusing on attacking the votes of the remaining two social factions.
Why is it difficult to win the first two votes? The former is because the work he supports was selected for the final selection. The author is Ohsaki Go, who has been a candidate twice. The famous work "Yuanxia" is about an elderly man living alone who is targeted by a man with bad intentions. In the end, the old man killed the bad guy and buried him under the corridor at the edge of the house. Detectives and policemen step over the corpse every day, but they get nothing under the old man's unskillful and even simple design.
Although the sales performance is not as good as that of Hojo Kyosuke, this work can be regarded as excellent in terms of trickery, plot and character settings, so the recommender, Tetsu Ogawa, naturally refused to hand over the vote in his hand easily, and even had to persuade Tsuyoshi Osaka to turn against him.
Another judge of the new orthodox school, Osamu Nishizawa, really didn't get along with Osaka Tsuyoshi. Every time when the selection meeting was held to discuss who should be awarded the prize, he would almost say something to Osaka Tsuyoshi. So the so-called selection was all a deal under the table.
As for Hojo Kyosuke, the two social judges had loosened their mouths because of the Metropolitan Police Department official Naito Akifumi who came up to do free work some time ago. They just waited for Kenzo Chino to hold a banquet, and Hojo Kyosuke personally said a few good words to the two to give them enough face, and the two votes were taken.
But now there is a mystery comic. If it was like the hot detective comic "Immortal Shuichi" next door "Shonen Magic", it would be a serious orthodox reasoning. The protagonist would not die except for his super reasoning ability. Every time he used his life to verify the feasibility of the trick. If it was such a serious mystery novel, there would be no problem, but the key is what kind of comic outlines Hojo Kyosuke gave.
The opening is a suspected gangster deal, which is fine. There are many hard-boiled novels involving the underworld. Even the representative work of Kurokawa Toyomasa, one of the two social judges this time, is about the underworld. But what happened next? The protagonist directly changed from a high school detective to an elementary school detective, and then used a tranquilizer gun to find a substitute doll to solve the case? Although the body has become smaller, the lust has not diminished at all. Xiaolan can only belong to me forever! Enjoying the admiration of elementary school classmates and the ambiguity of the evil scientist who has become smaller.
If you say this is a mystery comic, there will definitely be doubts, but if you say this is a love story, it is not quite accurate. Action? Spy war? Science fiction? Even if Qin Shihuang suddenly appeared, no one would be surprised.
It's just a hodgepodge, which is also what Shimomura Tetsuya is worried about. Can this comic be good?
The two previous comics of Hojo teacher, "One Punch Man" and "Attack on Titan", do not conform to the orthodox hot-blooded comics, but all the popular factors are gathered. The former is an unconventional hero comic that abandons the routine of fighting monsters and upgrading. Although he has the strongest power in the universe, he is busy fighting with aunties for discounted food every day, and most of the time he ends up in a miserable defeat. But he doesn't want to use this method to make everyone think about what ordinary people will become after they have power. On the contrary, he is just simply relaxed and funny, but at the same time he is also passionate, so his success is not surprising.
"Attack on Titan" has a very evil world view and setting, and even the first episode will eliminate most of the audience, but the character setting of the protagonist is very passionate, the plot of the whole story is very attractive, and the character creation is top-notch...
Of course, these are all summarized by relevant personnel after Mr. Hojo's success.
With these two pearls in front, seeing a hodgepodge work like Death God Elementary School, it's no wonder that Shimomura Tetsuya is confused. Who wouldn't worry about it?
The two social judges are also people who know about Hojo Kyosuke's new comics. When they heard it, they frowned fiercely, and the gap between their eyebrows could be used for flies to play hide-and-seek.
Can this be called reasoning? You have already come up with the small pill, why not just invent the "Truth-telling Pill" and give one to each suspect, and let the criminal tell the story directly. The reasoning of high school students is because the world knows that high school students in Japan are very good, but you, an elementary school student, are here, isn't it too frivolous?
In the news that Aisaka had just received, the two judges almost pulled their grandson in front of Hojo Kyosuke and asked him, do you think it is appropriate for a child like him to point fingers at a police uncle at the crime scene? A former criminal police officer in the First Investigation Division was shot unconscious with a tranquilizer gun every day without noticing it, and he happily accepted the praise from the media and the public. Do you think it is appropriate?
They are not nosy. Although the candidate for the award is "The Devotion of Suspect Love, science fiction, action, spy, comedy, mystery comics, people will doubt the authority of their association!
No, let’s discuss the matter of voting again. If you vote for an old man to kill someone, you won’t give death to a primary school student!
In addition, Tsuyoshi Aisaka also told Kyousuke Hojo. The two committees knew that someone had specifically told this matter. Needless to say, the purpose was to target Kyousuke Hojo. It’s not surprising. It’s such a best-seller, and it’s about to win awards as soon as it debuts. Even people who have no stake in it will be jealous and want to step on it. If you succeed, you will naturally feel good. If you fail, you will feel disgusted by Hojo Kyousuke.
No, seeing Eiriri's worried look, Hojo Kyousuke's mood actually became a little bad.
But this news has long been limited to a very small area. There is no reason for Eiri to know about it. This is the strange thing about Hojo Kyosuke.
"Don't worry, it's not as serious as you think Yinglili. It's just a small matter. I will solve it soon." He said with a smile.
"Who are you worried about? I just don't want to see you crying after losing the election. Then as your assistant, I will feel very embarrassed. I just happened to hear it. During this time, my father often had meetings with the award committee. Director Kitamura plays golf with men, but I keep hearing about it even though I don’t care at all!”
Ying Lili muttered in a low voice. She didn't seem to care about the chores, but she kept bothering her father for information, making it seem like she was nervous about him. If she told him, this guy would definitely raise his tail to the sky with pride!
"Oh~~It turned out to be a coincidence~~" Hojo Kyosuke teased Eiri in a protracted tone.
As soon as the word "coincidentally" came out, the blond girl immediately remembered the scene in the restaurant where she was squeezed into silence by Hui, and she was furious.
Well, you idiot Kyosuke, people are paying attention to your affairs at this moment, but you still laugh at me and die twice!
The little mouth opened, and a flash of light flashed on the pointed little tiger teeth.
Aww!
"You have to die twice!"
A muffled sound came from Eri's mouth biting Hojo Kyousuke's arm.
Hojo Kyousuke, who was being bitten, was controlling his body well and not using force to harden his muscles, so as not to break his princess's little tiger teeth.
It doesn't hurt at all. You can feel the tips of the tiger teeth. Compared to Shiba-senpai, Mitsuha, Sakura and Glass, Eiri's tiger teeth are indeed sharper and a bit dangerous. You need to pay more attention in the future, but there are more corresponding ones. Playfulness?
In addition, Hojo Kyousuke can clearly feel the girl's saliva slowly moistening his shirt. Ah, it must be cola-flavored, right?
The play between the two did not affect their walking at all. Eiriri was almost hanging on Hojo Kyousuke's arm.
When the crowd gradually started to increase at the next subway station, the girl let go of someone's arm.
Shi Shiran took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the saliva from her mouth gracefully and calmly. Unfortunately, she had never been in the habit of putting on makeup, otherwise she would have taken out her lipstick and touched up her makeup at this time, but even so, the girl's This series of actions is also full of aristocratic style. No wonder she can be called the perfect eldest lady by the ignorant boys and girls in Toyosaki.
After finishing arranging her hair, Erili wanted to hold Hojo Kyousuke's arm again as if nothing had happened, but as soon as her face came closer, she felt a burst of moisture.
Alas! !
saliva! So dirty!
The girl slowly wiped her face vigorously, then turned around and took Hojo Kyousuke's other arm.
"Is it really okay? My father can be dispatched at any time if necessary, just like he did with Akane Kurisaka last time."
She raised her little face slightly, her big bright eyes flashed with seriousness, and she didn't say anything else like I would be embarrassed if you didn't win the award. This time, the embassy could not use the poor business environment as a reason to lodge a protest, but it was possible to ask my father, as a British aristocratic diplomat, to endorse Kyousuke's novel in the newspaper.
Do you know Sherlock Holmes or Conan Doyle? They are all part of our empire! Even the British Ambassador said that this novel is loved by all the British people. If you don’t read it three times a day, you will lose your taste in fried fish. Why don’t you give him an award?
When she came home last night and heard her father talking about the news, Yinglili made a lot of plans in her mind.
Hearing these words, Hojo Kyosuke's mind immediately thought of the Mr. Spencer he saw in the reception room of "Carbonic Acid" last time. An awkward but polite smile, although I don’t understand the purpose of being there, but because my baby girl has spoken, I must go all out.
"Hahaha, spare Uncle Robin."
He smiled and grabbed Yinglili's little hand and squeezed it gently. He had no doubt that Yinglili could do such a thing, and he had no doubt that Mr. Spencer would really help, but it was too dishonorable.
More importantly... if you accept more help now, you will have less confidence when you are scolded in the future...
"When you encounter difficulties, I will help you with the family tree. Now you tell me that you like more than just my daughter?"
Such words, even a thick-skinned person like Hojo Kyosuke can't stand it.
"It's just a small matter. Wasn't it also scolded badly when "The Devotion of Suspect X" was first released? There is no need to listen to those people. Results are the basis of everything. Don't you believe me, Eriri?" He smiled...
"What are you laughing at! Laugh all day long. If there is no problem, tell me earlier. I've been worried for a long time!"
Eriri, who was in a good mood, opened her mouth and wanted to bite someone to celebrate, but considering that if both sides were covered with saliva, she would have no place to hug, so she finally used her head to hit the arm in her arms hard, using a lot of force, which made Hojo Kyosuke's body shake, and even the girl herself shook with it.
I know you know this! Hojo Kyosuke grinned.
Eriri, the idiot, has been suffering every day for the next fan exhibition, although most of the suffering occurs in her sage time after watching the new anime and eating potato chips. But such a heartless idiot, who knows that she secretly cares about Hojo Kyosuke's award-winning cause every day.
"I will tell you the first time next time!" He could only promise so much, and most of the problems really occurred because of the lack of information.
"Remember!"
"Yes!"
Can it be solved? Hojo Kyosuke doesn't know, anyway, he copied this comic... It's set, the comic that has been popular from the Heisei era to the Reiwa era, is this a comic? This is a money printing machine!
If others don't know, how can Hojo Kyosuke not know? He has no say on whether it is a mystery comic or not, but at least it can become a banner of Japanese comics, right?
Although he is not sure that if the world and time change, "Detective Conan" will not be as popular as the original track for more than 20 years, but he chooses to believe in Mr. Aoyama! Other authors worry that the failure of their new work will affect their appeal and the next work, but he doesn't have such concerns. If one work doesn't work, we can just switch to another one.
"The dress for the award ceremony was made half a month ago. If you can't wear it and walk into the award ceremony happily, I won't forgive you!"
Eri issued a final death warning. She spent so much time and energy. If Kyosuke didn't win the award in the end, she must spend all the judges on the next book!
Sorry it's a little late
