The middle-aged man sitting across from him had a kind face and a faint smell of alcohol. He looked at the manuscript in Maijo Kyousuke's hand with a longing look on his face.
This made Maijo Kyousuke's face show a defensive expression.
Because I don't understand the other party's intention at all.
It's not that Maijo Keisuke doesn't want to share it, it's just that mystery novels are a type of "idea literature" in the final analysis.
Especially for the genre of original mystery novels, the entire book revolves around the core conspiracy.
My book has not been published yet. If others read it and copy it, the core trick will be copied.
Then my book will completely become a pile of waste paper!
When the middle-aged man saw the defensiveness and resistance on Maijo Kyousuke's face, he naturally understood the other party's concerns.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man smiled kindly at Maijo Kyousuke.
He immediately took out a business card from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Maijo Kyousuke:
"Mr. Wucheng, this is my business card, please accept it."
When Maijo Kyousuke saw the other party offering the business card with both hands, he immediately took it politely:
"Sir, I'm sorry, I don't have a business card yet."
The middle-aged man shook his head with a kind face:
"It does not matter."
Maijo Kyousuke took the business card, looked at it, and found that the white business card was very simple.
Just name, company, phone number, and position.
But when Maijo Kyousuke took a closer look, he realized that the kind-hearted old man in front of him actually had a lot of background!
The deputy editor-in-chief of the 3rd Publishing Department of Kodansha Literature and Art Museum, Uyama Hinodeomi!
For this editor, Maijo Kyousuke, who is familiar with more than ten thousand Japanese mystery books, is naturally very familiar with it.
Ayatsuji Yukito, Maya Yusuke, Arisukawa Arisu, Hogetsu Runtaro, Seiryoin Ryuzu, Mori Hirotsugi, Maijo Otarō, Nishizawa Yasuhiko, Nishio Ishin...these stars who will shine in the world of mystery literature in the future are all written by Discovered and promoted by the editor Uyama Hinodeomi!
Maijo Kyousuke never expected to meet Uyama Himideomi in this way!
You must know that Uyama Hinideomi is the deputy editor, not the editor-in-chief who can be met casually.
This is a rare opportunity for Maijo Kyousuke!
Although the excitement in his heart was indescribable, Maijo Keisuke did not express joy. He just calmly placed the manuscript in front of Uyama Hinodeomi and said:
"Mr. Yushan, please take a look."
Uyama Hiideomi looked at the manuscript in front of him and did not open it directly.
Instead, he first took out a stack of wet wipes from his bag and wiped his hands carefully. After the moisture on his hands evaporated, he opened the manuscript of Maijo Kyousuke.
[As far as I know, this is the most incredible incident. Perhaps looking at the entire world, it is difficult to find a perfect crime that can compare with it.
The incident took place in Tokyo in Showa 11 (1936). It was a series of bizarre murders, but every character could not have committed a crime. The police had no clues about the murderer.
As a result, the investigation naturally came to a halt, and the case remained dormant for more than forty years. Fanatics all over Japan are competing to analyze the case, racking their brains, trying to find the murderer. However, until I first came into contact with this incident in the spring of Showa 54 (1979), the mystery remained unsolved.
Moreover, this incident left detailed records and all clues have been made public. But the result is still like this. I can only say that the degree of difficulty is incredible! 】
Maijo Keisuke's manuscript lives up to the expectations just expressed by Uyama Hinodeomi!
The prologue of just a few strokes has already demonstrated the magic power that can suck the soul!
Uyama Himideomi cheered in his heart, took a sip of coffee, raised his head and looked at Maijo Keisuke in front of him, with a very appreciative look on his face:
"Mr. Wucheng, I didn't expect that you are so sophisticated in writing even though you are young!"
"You dare to write such a crazy prologue at the beginning, claiming that it is difficult to find a perfect crime that can match it in the whole world!"
“Let’s not talk about the quality behind this book.”
"This innate madness alone makes people feel very charming!"
After Uyama Himideomi finished speaking, he lowered his head and immersed himself in the story again. As soon as he lowered his head, he was completely immersed in the story. Unknowingly, he forgot about the passage of time...
——The story of astrological killing magic begins with the crazy notes left by a painter named Umezawa Heikichi.
At the beginning of the note, the painter claimed that his body was controlled by the devil.
The devil's thoughts eroded his brain and asked him to create a perfect goddess who was omniscient and omnipotent and named her "Asod".
In order to create the perfect goddess Asod.
The painter thought of Western astrology, which believes that the human body is a projection of the universe and its reduced form, so everything in the universe has a guardian star.
As for how to identify the guardian star? Astrology also gives reasonable answers.
For Aries, the head will be strengthened, Cancer will strengthen the chest, Virgo will strengthen the abdomen, Scorpio will strengthen the waist, Sagittarius will strengthen the thighs, and Aquarius will strengthen the calves!
So, follow the astrological approach.
As long as you kill six girls corresponding to the above-mentioned constellations, let them swallow the corresponding alchemical materials, and then cut off their parts with guardian stars and put them together, you can create the perfect goddess Asoud!
After all, normal people will only have one guardian star, but the "Perfect Goddess Asod" made according to astrology will have six guardian stars!
It just so happened that the painter had four daughters and two nieces. Their blood types were the same, and they corresponded perfectly to these zodiac signs!
So an evil plan came into being!
The crazy contents recorded in the notebook were already over forty years ago.
What people didn't expect was that the case recorded in this crazy diary actually happened!
The painter's four daughters and two nieces suddenly disappeared one day more than forty years ago!
When their bodies were discovered one after another in six mines all over Japan, they found that all six bodies had been brutally dismembered!
Each corpse is the same as what was recorded in the artist's notes, but it lacks the part of having a guardian star, as if the artist really took action!
As the protagonists in the story, the astrologer Mitarai Zeke and his friend Ishioka Kazuki inadvertently mentioned this shocking and mysterious case that had not been solved forty years ago.
The surprising result is that there is a huge discrepancy between what actually happened and what was recorded in the notes.
Before the six girls died, the painter who wrote the notes died in his studio first!
But no one has read the painter's notes. Who is using the notes to kill people?
What is the murderer's purpose? What is the truth behind the murder case 40 years ago?
