Eryumi stepped up the stairs and came to the door of the room where Maijo Kyousuke was on the second floor.
Before entering, I heard a strange noise coming from the house through the door.
The sound was like the tip of a pen sliding rapidly across the paper.
This made Eryumei a little curious. Is Maijo Kyousuke writing a new mystery novel? ?
Looking in through the crack in the door.
As expected, Eryumi saw Maijo Kyousuke sitting at the table, writing furiously on the paper!
Maijo Kyousuke's writing speed was very fast, and he wrote a whole page of manuscript paper in less than a few minutes.
Seeing Maijo Keisuke's writing without thinking, Eryumei finally understood why Maijo Keisuke was able to write "A Platycodon Flower" overnight!
——
Maijo Kyousuke is sitting at the table, writing a mystery novel about monsters, folklore, psychology, and brain science.
As for why I wrote this novel, it started when Myojin Kiyone left her room five days ago.
Because I misunderstood Myojin Kiyone that day, I felt a little guilty, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to explain it to Myojin Kiyone.
But maybe he hurt the other person too deeply?
Every time I see Myojin Kiyone, I greet him with a smile.
Will be turned a blind eye by Myojin Kiyone.
It was as if I was a transparent person, and just thinking about it made me feel a little tortured.
So, Maijo Kyousuke had insomnia for the first time since he traveled through time!
Whenever I lie in bed and close my eyes, tossing and turning.
Maijo Keisuke could always think of what Myojin Kiyone said in front of him with tears in his eyes:
"When you and Miss Jiang Liu were on the second floor, I saw Sister Jiang Liu sitting on the corridor downstairs!"
"How could someone sitting on the porch leave their socks in your room?"
"Unless you can explain it to me, the world seen by human eyes is not real."
"The human eye can make mistakes!"
"Otherwise I will never believe a lie you say again!"
Whenever these words appear in my mind.
Maijo Kyousuke felt like he recalled a well-known story fragment.
After two days and two nights of sleepless thinking, Maijo Kyousuke finally thought of what story he would write for his next long mystery, to shock the Japanese literary world!
[Is the world you see with your eyes necessarily real? 】
[If the brain lies because it has no choice but to tamper with the memory in order to be reasonable, then will it be able to answer the statement that seeing is not true? 】
Myojin Kiyone's words awakened Maijo Keisuke's memory, and the book with the plot surrounding this idea also clearly appeared in his mind!
Maijo Kyousuke believes that as soon as this book is published, it will definitely cause an uproar in Japan!
Maybe it will also set off a fanatical folklore monster reasoning and open up a new era of its own!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The knocking on the door drew Maijo Kyousuke out of the story.
"The door is unlocked, please come in."
As soon as Maijo Kyousuke finished speaking, he saw Eryumi wearing a white dress walking in.
The beauty of Eryume, who was carefully dressed up, made Maijo Kyousuke look surprised.
But what puzzles Maijo Kyousuke the most is why Eryumi dresses up like this?
"Miss Jiang Liu? You are dressed up so nicely. Are you going to attend some important ceremony?"
Hearing the compliments from Maijo Kyousuke, Eryome felt that her dressing up today was not in vain.
"Of course it's an important ceremony, Teacher Wucheng, do you know?"
"Today is the award ceremony for you to receive the 'Edogawa Ranpo Climbing Dragon Award'!"
Hearing Eryu's beautiful words, Maijo Kyousuke was a little surprised:
"Edogawa Rampant Climbs the Dragon to See You?"
"Don't the Edogawa Ranpo Prizes only start being awarded around September every year?"
"This Dragon Climbing Award? What is it again?"
Maijo Kyousuke didn't quite understand what Eryumi was talking about.
Eryumei also knew that the Dragon Climbing Award was a bit sudden, but she still patiently answered Maishiro Kyousuke:
"Teacher Maishiro, after your "Astrology Killing Magic" was shortlisted, it was appreciated by many editors and senior executives of Kodansha. At the same time, there is another dark horse movie called "Sarumaru Vision" that was also well received."
"So, the top management of Kodansha decided to add a special award to you and the writer named Izawa Motohiko, this time the Climbing Dragon Award, one hundred days after the last Edogawa Ranpo Award. "
"The purpose is to let "Astrology Killing Magic" and "Sarumaru Vision" compete!"
"The results are as expected! Mr. Maishiro, your "Astrology Killing Magic" successfully won the Edogawa Ranpo Dragon Award!"
"Today, I am here to pick you up to attend the award ceremony of the 'Dragon Climbing Award'!"
When Maijo Kyousuke heard what Eryumei said, he finally understood what was going on.
At the same time, I also felt a little emotional that because of my appearance, the parallel world had undergone great changes.
In the impression, in the original time and space.
"Astrological Killing Magic" actually lost to Izawa Motohiko's "Sarumaru Vision" in the 26th Edogawa Ranpo Prize, but this time, it won a big victory!
It's just that Maijo Keisuke didn't know that he could win the "Edogawa Ranpo Climbing Award". In addition to the excellent quality of "Astrology Killing Magic" and "A Platycodon Flower", he also had the beauty of Edome. Working silently for him behind the scenes...
——
Ginza, Tokyo.
Maijo Kyousuke was wearing what looked like a newly made crisp suit, with a meticulously combed hairstyle. He looked at the exaggerated top hat in his hand, looked at Eryumei next to him, and asked doubtfully:
"Ms. Edogawa? Is Edogawa's style of walking around on the Dragon Boat Festival a costume dance?"
"Do I really have to wear this exaggerated top hat?"
Maijo Keisuke put the top hat on his head and looked at himself in the mirror. He felt that he was just one pipe away from becoming a modern version of Sherlock Holmes.
Eryumi stood next to Maijo Keisuke. Although she felt that Maijo Keisuke's outfit was a bit too out of the ordinary, she still asked Maijo Keisuke to do this:
"Teacher Wucheng, this is my only request, and you must satisfy me no matter what."
"Just because I've been shopping with you for so long and bought so many clothes, please help me!"
Seeing Eryumei's expression begging him, Maijo Kyousuke couldn't refuse.
He could only nod his head and put the hat on his head.
When Eryumi saw Maijo Kyousuke agreeing, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
——
A red BMW M1 speeds through the streets of Tokyo.
Maijo Kyousuke sat in the passenger seat and twirled his hat with his fingers. He still didn't understand Eryumi's intention of doing this, so he could only ask curiously:
"Miss Jiang Liu? Are you so insistent that I wear this hat? Does it have any special meaning?"
When Eryumei saw Maijo Kyousuke asking again and again, she reached out and took out a magazine from her bag and handed it to Maijo Kyousuke.
Maijo Kyousuke took the magazine, and what caught his eye was the painting on the cover.
On a very exaggerated top hat, there is a white platycodon flower.
Jiang Liu's beautiful answer also came:
"I originally planned to give Teacher Wucheng a surprise when the magazine was released."
"But since Teacher Wucheng asked, I'll tell you."
"Teacher Wu Cheng, as a mystery writer, you should know that the origin of mystery novels actually started with the publication of "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allan Poe."
“But the people who really pushed mystery novels into the world of literature are Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie’s Poirot, and Dickson Carr’s Dr. Phil. Series" and Ellery Queen's "The Tragedy Series."
"It is precisely because of these literary giants who are engraved in the history of mystery that they created charming detectives and formed the golden age of classical mystery. Through this, mystery novels have become best-selling books all over the world!"
"Maybe it's a problem of the times, or maybe it's a stereotype, but these great writers seem to have discussed it."
"Whether it's Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Dr. Gideon Fell or Jerry Wren, they all have a top hat in their wardrobe!"
"When I first launched the magazine, I was very confused about the name of the new magazine, because I wanted it to be easy to understand so that everyone could understand that it was a short mystery magazine, and I also wanted everyone to be impressed by the name of the magazine."
"So after much thought, I finally decided to name the magazine Top Hat."
"Because in today's society, unless there is a special request, few people will wear a top hat, and once you think of top hats, you will think of those famous detectives. This is why I want Teacher Wucheng to wear a top hat to participate in the award. "
When Maijo Kyousuke heard Eryu's beautiful words, he also felt that the name of the magazine "Top Hat" had a very good meaning.
But when it comes to top hats, as a fan of Japanese mysteries, Maijo Kyousuke does not think of Sherlock Holmes or Poirot first.
But the evil detective who also wears an exaggerated top hat and holds a cane, who is dubbed the worst moral character!
Thinking of this, Maijo Kyousuke turned his head and looked at Eryumi who was driving:
"Miss Jiangliu, for the next issue of the magazine, I want to create an image of a famous detective who also wears a top hat, and it will be a series."
"I hope you can give me an important space in Top Hat magazine."
When Eryumi heard what Maijo Kyousuke said, she had a look of surprise on her face!
Because 99% of the writers I see on weekdays are mostly the ones who can’t even start writing until the last day of the deadline, let alone take the initiative to write!
But now that he has a fast-writing writer like Maijo Kyousuke, Jiang Liumei is too late to be happy, so he naturally agrees with joy.
It's just... Eryumi never thought that because of the birth of "Top Hat" magazine, Maijo Kyousuke would actually create the most confusing image of a detective in history...
