Maijo Kyousuke's arrogant words immediately caused an uproar in the audience!
Because of everyone present, except for the great writer Matsumoto Seicho, almost no one dared to say such arrogant remarks!
After all, Edgar Allan Poe published "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" in 1841, establishing the system of mystery novels.
Mystery novels have gone through one hundred and thirty-nine years now.
This has developed numerous system branches such as trick flow, logic flow, tough guy faction, etc.
Except for the socialist faction founded by Matsumoto Seicho in 1956, no new faction has been born in mystery novels for twenty-four years.
Now that Maijo Keisuke has just won the Newcomer Award, he is talking wildly about creating a new genre. Naturally, he will be scorned and criticized by everyone in the audience!
After all, it started in 1923, the "first year of Japanese reasoning".
In the entire history of Japanese reasoning, there have only been three great mystery writers who spanned the ages: Edogawa Ranpo, Henmou Masashi, and Matsumoto Seicho.
Even if Maijo Keisuke is the much-anticipated "Dragon Award" rookie tonight, it is very rare to be a talented mystery writer who can control multiple styles.
But no one wants to believe that this guy will become the fourth mystery writer after Matsumoto Seicho!
Everyone in the audience was in an uproar, and the boos were endless.
Even if the great writer Matsumoto Seicho stood on the stage, he could not stop the commotion of the mystery writers in the audience.
Only Maijo Kyousuke stood on the stage and remained motionless, not feeling anything wrong with his words at all.
Matsumoto Seicho did not start writing mystery novels until he was forty-seven years old. During this period, he worked in an electric company, sold rice cakes, and was an apprentice in a printing factory. He was also beaten by the police for borrowing magazines and was detained for more than ten days. The first half of his life can be said to be Being displaced from place to place is extremely miserable.
But it was this cruel experience that turned him into a living legend!
He also developed the ability to turn things around in any situation!
Seeing that Maijo Keisuke's arrogant words caused an unstoppable commotion in the audience, Matsumoto Seicho reached out and patted Maijo Keisuke's shoulder, smiled and said:
"Teacher Wucheng? I am old and my ears are deaf."
"You mean? You've written a mystery novel that all the writers here can't write? And you've never read it?"
"The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention!"
"When you say something like this in front of nearly two thousand famous mystery writers, doesn't it amount to a blatant provocation to everyone here?"
Matsumoto Seicho thought that Maijo Kyousuke heard his hint and would take back his arrogant words.
Unexpectedly, Maijo Kyousuke would do something in the next second that even a seventy-year-old man would be stunned!
Maijo Keisuke reached out and grabbed the microphone, with a very indifferent expression on his face and said to Matsumoto Seicho:
"Ms. Matsumoto heard you right. The book I am going to write is definitely something that none of you here have ever read, heard, and can't write!"
"I believe that once my book is published, it will definitely become a brand new genre in the history of reasoning!"
Before Maijo Kyousuke finished speaking, a huge roar came from the audience!
Even though the man didn't have a microphone, the roar he made caused echoes in the lobby of the Tokyo Palace Hotel:
"Kyousuke Maijo! Don't go too far, you guy!"
"You just got lucky and won the Edogawa Climbing Dragon Prize!"
"Don't really think that you are the chosen one!"
"What do you mean by writing a brand new genre that no one else has heard of or seen?"
"Where did you put the seniors here?"
"Not to mention Mr. Seicho Matsumoto who is standing next to you, even Mr. Seiichi Morimura and Mr. Fuutarou Yamada in the audience dare not say such arrogant words!"
"You don't really think that creating a new school of reasoning can be done just by talking about it, do you?"
These few questions about Maijo Kyousuke made everyone in the audience stop whispering instantly.
Everyone looked towards the location where the sound came from!
I saw a man with high eyebrows and a very angry expression standing in the audience and glaring at Maijo Kyousuke.
Obviously he is very dissatisfied with what Maijo Keisuke just said arrogantly!
Others may not recognize this man with high eyebrows, but Maijo Kyousuke has a photographic memory of him.
Because this man with high and low eyebrows is the editor who rejected Maijo Kyousuke's manuscript in the cafe, Matsuura Jun!
Although ten days have passed since that day, Matsuura Jun's words in the cafe are still engraved in Maijo Keisuke's mind!
"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Mr. Matsuura Jun, the editor-in-chief of the first publishing department of Literary Books of the Kobunshe?"
"Long time no see? Mr. Matsuura Jun, how are you?"
Maijo Keisuke held the Sherlock Holmes trophy in his hand and shook it vigorously a few times:
"It's really unfortunate, Mr. Matsuura Jun, that your expectations have been disappointed."
"Ten days after Mr. Matsuura Jun rejected my manuscript and made some mocking remarks to me, I actually stood at the award ceremony of the Edogawa Rampan Dragon Award."
"Life is so unpredictable!"
"Although, I had known for a long time that such a day would come, but it did come much earlier than I expected."
Maijo Keisuke's words made Matsuura Jun's face turn pale in the audience:
"Kyousuke Maijo, don't be a villain!"
"Do you really think that you will win the Edogawa Ranpo Climbing Dragon Award with your crappy book "Astrological Killing Magic"?"
"I heard that during the Denglong Award selection five days ago, Miss Jiang Liu, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, who was standing behind you, would rather give up her career than have a fierce confrontation with the five judges!"
"You talk nonsense on stage, as if winning the grand prize is all your own fault!"
"But what's the reality? It's because of women. You, the guy, got the Climbing Dragon Award by relying on soft food!"
"How can a guy like you think you can create a new school of reasoning?"
"How can anyone write a book that can influence the history of Japanese reasoning?"
Matsuura Jun's words made Maijo Kyousuke frown involuntarily.
He immediately turned his head and looked at Jiang Liumei behind him.
Jiang Liumeili didn't know that things would develop like this, and there was an angry expression on her face.
It is obvious that what he has always wanted is to make Maijo Kyousuke become the much-anticipated supernova of reasoning!
But now... I am making things more and more complicated.
Seeing the whispers of everyone in the audience and the flashing lights of the reporters, Jiang Liumei felt a little uncontrollable!
He immediately stepped forward, intending to scold the guy with low eyebrows in the audience!
At this time, Uyama Hinodeomi, who was holding Matsumoto Seicho's signature, noticed something strange about Eryumei, and wanted to reach out and stop Eryumeimei.
But he took action a step too late. The hand he just extended was immediately thrown away by Jiang Liumeili!
Fortunately, Matsumoto Qingzhang had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed Eryu's beautiful backpack strap.
Eryumi was caught by the strap of her backpack. She turned around and saw Matsumoto Seicho, the anger in her eyes was suppressed:
"Teacher Matsumoto, what do you want? Can you wait a moment?"
Matsumoto Seicho pulled Eryumei to his side and whispered to Eryumei:
"Miss Jiang Liu, the reason why reporters are reporters is to report news that everyone likes to hear."
"Things have become chaotic enough. It won't help if you go up there, because the top priority now is not to deal with the people in the audience, but to control the current situation!"
"And this time, you can't interfere!"
"You can protect Teacher Wucheng for a while, but you can't protect Teacher Wucheng for life. If a man wants to grow up, he must solve this crisis alone!"
After hearing what Matsumoto Seicho said, Jiang Liumei understood what Matsumoto Seicho meant.
I also understand that no matter how I explain my relationship with Maijo Keisuke now, it is impossible not to explain it.
Early tomorrow morning, there will definitely be news about the relationship between himself and Maijo Kyousuke.
And Maijo Kyousuke will also fall into the so-called "peach scandal"!
Jiang Liumeili bit her lower lip fiercely, and even though blood oozed from her lips, she stared at Matsuura Jun in the audience.
She wanted to engrave this guy with high eyebrows in her mind!
Sooner or later, this arrogant guy will have to pay the price he deserves!
Because no matter what, I will never allow Maijo Kyousuke, the superstar who is about to shine in the history of reasoning, to be dusted!
