"The youth of the orioles suddenly shattered like glass.

When beautiful, pure, real things are destroyed, and the memories and dreams that are reproduced are shattered, hatred begins to sprout and spreads freely...

In this Tsinghua girl’s school, some people like me and some people hate me.

On Saturday morning, someone suddenly hit me from the side on the station platform, and I almost fell off the railroad tracks;

After school on Monday, I went into the shower room to rinse after swimming, and almost died of electrocution in the Chinese government;

After school on Tuesday, a pot of sky blue sun fell from the third floor of the teaching building until it hit my head;

After school on Thursday, a teacher was poisoned to death in my commonly used locker room. Did he die for me?

I realized in a daze that I seemed to have no way to escape.”

The above is the introduction of the story written by the author himself. After seeing the book titled "After School" and reading such an summary, the editors in the conference room were silent.

"Alice Wang, who traveled thousands of miles, was a writer who contributed from Los Angeles, the typical Chinese American name, and this combination... As far as I know, only one person matched it."

Qingzhi, who has been in the industry for five years, faced with a pair of dark circles and a look of tiredness. Under the gaze of everyone who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he said to everyone with a serious look: "It's that Alice King."

Tsukamoto was unhappy, so he patted the table: "Who? Aochi, your statement is incomprehensible."

Qingzhi thought for a while and said, "The new best-selling American author, the author of "Jurassic Park" and "Blood Fairy Tales", is the one that is closest to our industry."

"Ah, that one!"

With Qingzhi's words, Chunzi immediately looked like she suddenly realized it, but then she was confused again: "But... is this identity? I don't care much about the American book market. Are you sure that Alice-Wang is already very good in the American literary world?"

Qing Zhi looked at Chunzi with an innocent look on his face: "Is there a second one?"

Junzi is forty years old. When she frowned because of doubt, the number of head-up lines is much higher than that of Qingzhi: "But the Alice-Wang I remember is the director of "The Ghost Record"!"

"Ah, by the way!"

At this time, Hongzhi also thought of something and clapped her hands and said, "The boss of Cisco! Microsoft shareholders, have you seen the press conference after Microsoft went public? She will appear!"

Chunzi looked confused: "What Cisco... Microsoft's? I'm fine with what I do for press conferences of those big companies?"

Several conversations between colleagues completely confused Tsukamoto. He looked at everyone with a confused look: "I say to you, this name seems to have not spread to the level of John Smith or... or Tom, Harry and Jack? He is both a writer and a director. Now that he has even the business owners come out, there should be a limit for the rename, right?"

Yamamoto, who had not spoken, spoke silently.

"So, they are all the same person."

As he said that, he photographed a magazine on the table.

Undoubtedly, it is the American edition of Time magazine.

Although he is not the most popular figure of the year, there is indeed an Asian girl in a white suit printed on the cover of this magazine a few months ago.

"Nani!?"

"Hey, hey, don't be so surprised, okay? You've sat down and took your head back."

The information in the core editor was only lower than that in the editor-in-chief Tsumamoto, Yamamoto, who waved his hand carelessly, which made everyone on the table, sit back.

Tsukamoto stared at the cover of this issue with his eyes straight: "So, the situation is... an American genius is going to enter our Japanese market?"

Chunzi was really confused. She picked up the book "Time" and flipped it out. When she opened the relevant page, she immediately stopped.

Qingzhi looked at her with a gaze: "How is Chunzisang?"

Chunzi's eyes were as if they were bull's eyes, and her mouth was like a hippo: "The debut work and the second book have been on the New York Times bestseller list and have been ranked first for a long time. At the same time, she is also the most profitable movie in history, the screenwriter, director and producer of DreamWorks "The Ghost Record", Cisco and Microsoft... Is this girl a monster??"

"I think that's what it is, Tsukamoto Kan."

Yamamoto stood up and put the magazine away from Junko's hand. Seeing that the editor-in-chief still had the attitude of continuing to be dazed, he shook the manuscript and said, "Look, how about we read the story first? It is rare that the other party's writer who has two top best-selling books in a row actually posted books to our Japanese mystery literature community. It will definitely not disappoint everyone, right?"

That's certain, and there are not many people who can be editors who don't like reading books. After knowing Alice's achievements, who can say that they are not interested in her first mystery novel?

You know, these two novels have become bestsellers in the United States, and they are the debut and the second one that follows. They have been on the bestseller list continuously and stayed on them for several weeks in one go!

And the most important thing is that these two novels are in different fields!

"Times" cannot be put away just by Yamamoto, especially the editor-in-chief Tsukamoto is interested in this girl.

"Science fiction thriller novels, and magic vampire love thriller novels... Haha, what are the categories? Everyone says, what do they have in common?"

"Thriller and suspense."

Qingzhi said: "Especially this book "Blood Fairy Tale", which is very serious and detailed in the book, and the policeman's case solving. This is obviously preparing for the creation of mystery novels. Everyone says, has Alice wanted to contribute to us a long time ago?"

"What I'm most concerned about now is... what are Alice San's plans for it."

Tsukamoto thought a little more: "Overseas writers publish books in Japan, from the perspective of publicity, it is indeed a natural advantage. In particular, we can also promote her achievements in the United States. The key point is... Every book is a new category, and each book is very popular, so even if it is the first time to create a mystery novel, it will definitely not disappoint everyone!"

This "big guy" naturally refers to readers, and the editors agree with it.

"But she is still a big boss after all... what are her plans?"

However, Tsukamoto was only halfway through the introduction of Alice's career in "Time", as if he was telling it to everyone, and as if he was telling it to himself: "There are indeed many European and American capitalists investing in Japan now. Is this little girl planning to interfere?"

"Editor-in-Chief..."

Hongzhi lay on the table, tapping his fingers on the table: "It's work, let's read novels together. Whether it's investment or business, it has nothing to do with us, right?"

"Well, it makes sense, so let's see what kind of work Alice has brought to the Japanese people!"

So, after a passionate mobilization speech, more than a dozen editors in the conference room, each of whom began to carefully read the mystery debut of this amazing girl.

"After school"...

This is Alice's debut work copied from the famous Japanese contemporary mystery novelist Keigo Higashino. A work that should have won the Edogawa Ranbu Award in 1985.

After a year and a half, Alice had already quietly launched an investigation into the literary world of Japanese reasoning. There is no doubt that the originator of Conan Jun Edogawa exists, and some senior writers have also been in the industry all day long, but Keigo Higashino, let alone this book "After School", does not even exist "The Magic Ball", which was shortlisted for the 1984 Lucky Award.

She couldn't help but be moved. If she wanted to copy a few famous novels to make herself a literary girl style, with Conan's Ming Dynasty, she would never let go of Japanese mystery novels. Then since she wanted to copy mystery novels, since the opportunity was in front of her, Keigo Higashino's daimyo would not let go...

After all, as a writer who should have started writing books in 1985, every book of his book is not only in line with the times, but also in line with Alice's life...

For all the editors present at Kotanshe, this "Plainted Version of Keigo Higashino's Award-winning debut work" imported from the United States immediately brought them a novel experience.

First of all, exactly like many Japanese novels, especially mystery novels, is that this novel is called the perspective from the first person.

Moreover, at the beginning of the book, it gave all readers a strong medicine: the introduction said, "After school on Tuesday, a pot of sky blue sun fell from the third floor of the teaching building until it hit my head", which was staged in the first two paragraphs of the book.

"What a straightforward method!"

Tsukamoto nodded with satisfaction, sighing inwardly that Alice's technique was so clever.

You should know that any reader must read the introduction before reading the book, and the introduction provided by Alice is particularly charming. After reading such an introduction, most readers first have the idea that they have left in their minds. They want to know when the accidents listed will happen.

Then, it happened immediately!

Just in the first two paragraphs of the book!

Clean and neat!

The plot afterwards was also very compact. "I" who was almost hit by a flower pot hurriedly ran to the third floor to find out, but after exploring the two only classrooms, "I" found nothing.

Tsukamoto raised his head and interrupted, "Two classrooms, six students, do you think the murderer will be among them?"
Chapter completed!
