Kotoshi Higashino originally planned to visit Tokyo for three days.

On the one hand, I met Kuki and talked about novels.

The other side, that is, I want to see the school.

There are many high schools in Tokyo. Which one is Higashino’s goal? It needs to be decided now.

Kosuke Higashino had previously formulated a plan, which is a Tokyo private high school with a deviation of more than 60.

This range is quite large.

Within the range of the deviation value of 60 to 70, there are many schools in Tokyo, with hundreds of schools in appearance.

Which one is really not easy.

Fortunately, there is Teacher Dahe.

Today, get up early.

After leaving the hotel, take the Marunouchi line heading west, pass through Shinjuku District, and arrive at the Kawanancho Station at the end.

After walking for a while, we arrived at a place called Hequan.

Hequan, also known as rbquan, has a city named after it.

And in Tokyo, there are several roads called Waizumi.

Hequan 2nd Road is located in Shanbing District. There is a school called Shirokao Private University on this road.

This is the goal of Higashino Koto’s school, and this school is also recommended by Teacher Okawa.

Dahe said that this school meets the requirements, and there is another point, that is, there is a scenery on the way to this school.

Cherry blossoms.

Shanbing District is famous for its many cherry blossoms, and many streets are planted with cherry blossoms on both sides.

People like this kind of flower very much. In terms of Tokyo's climate, March and April of each year are the season for cherry blossoms to bloom.

Walking on the path full of cherry blossoms on both sides, the spring breeze is light, and the light pink petals fall with the wind and stick to the clothes.

It's really artistic.

Unfortunately, the season is wrong at this time, and Dongye Qiang was walking on the road, and the petals were gone.

The beautiful scenery is gone, but there is a similarity, and we will follow you all the way.

"Saikyo, this time you must not be careless. That "Thirteenth Level" is a bit amazing."

"Saikyo, do you have any solutions?"

"Ah, you are talking, otherwise, if I don't become a Buddha, I will chat in your ears all day long!"

Mr. Keigo really made Koto Higashino speechless.

In fact, after parting with Kuki yesterday, Koto Higashino returned to Kamibocho and bought a copy of "Thirteenth Levels".

After all, this is an opponent, at least you have to know what they wrote.

So, in the hotel last night, one person and one ghost read this novel.

After watching it in one night, both Higashino and Mr. Keigo were surprised.

The extended meaning of the title "Thirteenth Level Ladder" is the death penalty.

Then, it should be a hot topic nowadays.

The death penalty is abolished.

The abolition of the death penalty has been discussed in Western countries for many years. In Asia, RB and South Korea have even begun to take action.

Thirteen chapters are needed to be sent to the gallows, which is originally a rigorous attitude towards the death penalty.

However, this novel does not make a very rigid legal discussion, but writes a very complex story.

The male protagonist, Junichi Miki, is a man who has killed anyone, but in the end he did not go to the gallows, but instead was released on parole.

This was a settlement between his family and the victim's father. The Miki family also paid a very high price. The house was gone and he still owed huge debts, exceeding 30 million yen.

The whole family was very hard-working by Junichi, and my younger brother also had to go out to work.

After Chunyi was released on parole, he apologized to the victim's father, which was very uncomfortable.

But what's even more strange is that Junichi soon received a special job. The Nanxiang police officer whom he had met was found and did something.

Help a person and clear the charge of murder.

This person can be said to be the suspect. His situation is very special. After being seriously injured, he can only say a few words.

The ladder there.

There are only a few words, but there is no staircase in the murder scene.

The person killed by this suspect is a local gentry, whose main job is to help those who have been released from prison become human again.

Anyway, the story is very bizarre.

What is the final truth?

The person who commissioned Nanxiang to do this investigation was the father of the man Chunyi killed!

That's right, what this father wanted to do was to kill Junichi in the process.

The murderer who killed the gentry also had another person, and the reason was very interesting. It turned out that this so-called gentry actually relied on extortion of prisoners who were released from prison to accumulate property, and was known by other people, and then killed.

This novel has a particularly classic scene.

That is a temple that has been covered by soil. In this temple, there is evidence left by the murderer that year. The stairs are actually the steps of the temple.

The father of the man who Junichi killed was trying to kill Junichi with a gun. Moreover, the father also copied Junichi's fingerprint and blamed him for killing the gentry.

Until the truth was revealed in the end, especially why Chunyi wanted to kill that person was because that person was stronger than Chunyi's female classmate who was not a girlfriend.

Why is this female classmate so complicated?

It is because after this female classmate was aggravated, she fell in love with that person... she was a little nervous on weekdays.

But that man abandoned her.

To be honest, when I saw this, Kotoshi Higashino really wanted to scold Jun one by one.

Dog licking cannot house.

In short, the plot of this novel is very complicated.

There are so many reversals that reveal a lot of things.

As for the issue of death penalty, this book also has a clear attitude.

The policeman in Nanxiang was originally a supervisor of the execution, and he hated the death penalty very much.

Chunyi was escaping from death. He could have been executed, but he also had a righteous side to kill people. Moreover, he was very regretful of the sins he committed and showed great repentance.

The suspect was already unconscious. If no one cared about him, then he would be considered the murderer who killed the gentleman and was executed.

So, it can be seen completely.

This novel by Kazuaki Takano supports the destruction.

After watching it, Mr. Keigo couldn't stop.

If Kotoshi Higashino had not needed to sleep, this ghost would have been nagging.

Obviously, Mr. Keigo felt the crisis, "I didn't expect that novelists today could put such thoughts into writing such a wonderful plot."

Kokuro Higashino's reaction was quite strange. He did not scold Mr. Keigo for his nagging, but he did not say anything discouraged, as if he was thinking about something.

Mr. Keigo didn't go too far. He didn't keep saying, "Saikyo, tell me what you think, please."

One person and one ghost, walking on Hequan 2 at this time is quite interesting.

Koto Higashino seemed to have thought of something and smiled: "Mr. Keigo, have you not noticed the writing style of this novel?"

"Writing style?" Mr. Keigo recalled after hearing this, "It seems that his writing style is relatively good, and there is almost no nonsense. The description of scenery and the description of characters' appearance can only be said to be ordinary... Wait, saikyo, what do you mean is that this guy will lose to us because of his writing style? That's great, hahaha..."

This ghost changed his face too quickly.

When it comes to the problem, Koto Higashino's "After School" was naturally guided by Mr. Keigo.

Keigo Higashino's novels have some of their own characteristics.

For example, even the critics of RB always say that his novels are not very similar to mystery novels.

Even Mr. Keigo has written many novels that are not mystery novels.

His writing has a plain taste and is more inclined toward pure literature.

Koko Higashino was guided by Mr. Keigo, so he naturally had this style.

And this Kazuaki Takano's writing is relatively turbulent, giving readers a stronger sense of oppression.

In fact, this is a serious mystery novel.

After all, cases, murders, and various techniques will bring great pressure to readers.
To be continued...
