In September, the weather has turned colder.

In addition to the start of school, there are some important things.

Kigo and "Secret" are still often discussed, and the same is true for Mr. Miyabe's works.

But the heat also dropped as the weather.

Everything is normal, and it seems that it is inevitable to return to peace.

But there are always people who are unwilling to be calm.

"The strongest shock! Murakami Haruki's new work was released!"

"How will "Kafka by the Sea" sweep the Japanese literary world?"

"This is a world-class masterpiece!"

"Kafka by the Sea" has finally come out, and Haruki Murakami's latest masterpiece has suddenly brought all the attention to him.

For a moment, public opinion was in an uproar again.

It seems that the best-selling players this year will still see variables.

...

In the suburbs of Tokyo, early in the morning.

The trees by the river have begun to turn yellow, but the weather is not cold and the leaves can still support them.

Higashino Qiang was wearing a sportswear and ran slowly along the path.

The scenery looks quite comfortable and I control my steps properly.

I bought sportswear for a long time and I am too busy.

It is really not necessary to ignore the movement.

I went to Shibuya, got into Adidas's store, and bought a complete set of sportswear.

Adidas's three-bar decoration will make people look slimmer.

Afterwards, I bought a pair of professional running shoes.

At this time, ASIC is a very outstanding running shoe brand.

The K series is still very good, and the foot is very soft and comfortable.

But, from the perspective of Higashinoko's future generations, the disadvantages of this shoe are also very obvious, that is, it is heavy.

I can't help but sigh that when this shoe developed for more than ten years and was released to more than 20 generations, it was still so heavy.

This shows that many inherent problems in Japan are sometimes really impossible, and this country is so stubborn and conservative.

Just be more heavy. This kind of preparation makes you look very professional.

With his handsome face, the sports boy Higashino Kok will definitely be very popular.

But running here is not just for exercise, nor is it about building an image of a boy in any sports department.

Not long after, a runner came from behind.

"Hey, so you are so handsome."

"Oh, Mr. Murakami, did you recognize me so simply?"

"Hahaha... what's the problem? Look at your back and your posture. Also, we made an appointment. There are no people running here. Who else can you be if you are not?"

"It seems that my mask is of no use either."

"Haha... Come on, see if you can keep up with my speed."

"Mr. Murakami, please show mercy."

"Haha... talk less and run more!"

This runner is nothing else, it is Haruki Murakami.

Didn’t Higashino Koto complain before that Haruki Murakami was like a farmer, but in fact this matter was nothing, and this couldn’t even be said to be a complaint, because Mr. Murakami does look like a farmer.

Haruki Murakami likes running so much. Under his daily running, the sunlight leaves many traces on his skin.

The most direct manifestation of aging is the increase in darkening of the skin and wrinkles. The strongest and fastest result is ultraviolet rays.

Of course, Mr. Murakami doesn't care about this. He likes running, which is enough.

He is worthy of being a person who can participate in a marathon.

Koto Higashino soon found out that he could not keep up.

He is young and has a good sports foundation. He used to run a lot in Ori Village, but now, compared with Mr. Murakami, he can't hold on for even ten minutes.

My breathing is getting more and more uncontrollable, and my steps are getting more and more empty.

"Haha..." Mr. Murakami slowed down when he saw this, "You guy is pretty good, you can actually be with me for so long."

Higashino Qiang blushed a little, but he still took a few steps to form a side by side, "Thank you, Mr. Murakami for saving me face."

"Hahaha... no, I'm telling the truth. You guy is very good at running." Murakami said, and simply stopped running, but instead left.

Koto Higashino was relieved and his breathing was more comfortable. "Thanks to Murakami."

"You said too much thank you, it seems very disgusting."

"Oh, then, I'll just be a little bit."

"That's what it should be."

"So, I want to ask Mr. Murakami, do you have anything to give me advice on the current situation?"

This was very strange and even a little confused, but Higashino Kok understood that he had to say this.

how so?

Or, why did you run with Mr. Murakami this time?

The reason is also very simple. Although Kotoshi Higashino had not received any news before, when he saw "Kafka by the Sea", he knew something was going to happen.

This "Kafka by the Sea" was published by Kadokawa Bookstore.

It must be emphasized that a family chooses to publish their own publishing house, which is the freedom of the family.

Even in Japan, there are no special terms to limit the freedom of the family.

It seems that there is only comics, that is, "jump" will restrict comics, that is, give a contract exclusive to "jump". Of course, this contract has money, but not much money.

Generally, newcomers can only earn 240,000 yuan a year, which is 20,000 yen per month, which is not much different from that. As for great-level cartoonists, it is naturally different, but relatively speaking, there are very few.

Therefore, there is no problem with Mr. Murakami publishing at Kadokawa Bookstore.

But what happened at the same time was that the editor-in-chief Tanaka changed the house.

Kokushi Higashino understood very well that this was the continuation of the previous battle surrounding Naoki Sang.

Now, the result is probably coming out. Such a new-style figure led by Tanaka is still inferior to those stubborn old men in the literary and artistic spring and autumn.

Tanaka ran away from Kakugawa Bookstore directly. Now, Kokoshi Higashino has received the latest news that Tanaka has taken over as deputy editor-in-chief there.

There is almost no change in the position, because the traditional literature at the Kadokawa Bookstore is relatively average now, and there are some other things to do when it comes to light.

By the way, in fact, Kakugawa Bookstore's funds are relatively tight and they have to be just enough, so they have vigorously developed lightly, which is also related to some domestic incidents.

Kokoshi Higashino didn't pay attention to this matter, but he would understand just by looking back at history.

"Jing Ke Assassination of the King of Qin", this blockbuster is a masterpiece made by Director Chen Da for many years. The male lead is changed, not to mention the huge investment.

A Qin Palace was simply built in Hengdian.

As a result, the box office crashed as soon as it was released.

Not even a splash was made.

It was OK to be released in Japan later, but the overall box office was not high.

The investor is Kakugawa.

I guess I will not be able to recover this money for a while.

Of course, maybe this investment is not the main reason, but it definitely has some impact.

As for the other side, it is the profitable side. Maybe the box office was a failure, but starting from the Qin Palace, Hengdian has been developing continuously.

This Qin Palace later filmed "Hero".

I'm afraid only Higashino Kok would do such an association, but at the moment, his situation is not good.

Tanaka is the person who knows Teacher Guigo's true identity.

This run today is definitely not as simple as it seems.

"Haha..." Mr. Haruki Murakami heard Higashino's question, and his face was full of smiles, "You must have considered it. Tanaka may use this opportunity to threaten you and let you come to Kakugawa, right?"

Higashino Qiang smiled and nodded, "It's strange if you didn't think so."

"Very good, direct enough." Mr. Murakami smiled even deeper.
