The Ainu are the aborigines of Neon's native land.Many historians believe that it originated from Ezo in the northern part of Honshu. As of today, there are still about 20 people, mainly distributed in Hokkaido.

Because they are not the main ethnic group, the Ainu people are discriminated against politically, institutionally and culturally in Neon’s native land.

During the Meiji period, the government forcibly changed the name of "Ezo" to "Hokkaido", and moved in a large number of new immigrants from the Yamato clan.To this end, even a large amount of land belonging to the Ainu was confiscated and allocated to new immigrants.

Later, under the protests of the Ainu people, the government's attitude improved, but it still defined all Ainu people as "old natives" and distinguished them from the neon mainstream group "Heren".

This difference has caused the Ainu people to be squeezed out by the neon society until now, so that they are classified as "tribes" who are considered to be the pariah class, and they are discriminated against in terms of job hunting and life.

Keito Sakaguchi sighed. As a student who graduated from Tokyo University, his original life plan should be to enter a larger newspaper, but because of identity checks, he was repeatedly rejected when applying for a job, so that he could only go to "Adachi News", the worst newspaper in Tokyo.

After the silence, he let go of his mind and continued to watch the "Death of a Mystery Novelist" on the screen.

This morning, another Ainu compatriot told himself that a novel with Ainu as the protagonist appeared on the Internet.

This surprised him very much!

You must know that because of the status of the Ainu people, there are not even a few Ainu people in any cultural works in recent years.

So the author of this article may be an Ainu?

Keito Sakaguchi frowned and thought about it. Based on this, no matter what the other party wrote, he had to support the author.

After all, the Ainu are a vulnerable group in the neon society, and keeping warm in groups is the way to survive!

Keito Sakaguchi made this decision, and started to watch it carefully from the first issue.

But when he watched, he found that the story was more exciting than he had imagined!

[Chapter 128.128 Irony?Satire! ]

Before reading this novel called "The Death of Mystery Fiction", Keito Sakaguchi thought that this work was just mediocre.

After all, truly excellent works are nothing more than published through publishing houses, and earn high manuscript fees and royalties.

If it is serialized on the Internet, the work usually does not get a penny of income, and it can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

In addition, if the work is not well written, it may be scolded by some trolls.

But Keito Sakaguchi found that as he continued to read, he completely overturned his previous ideas.

The suicide of the mystery novelist, the complex relationship of the family of the deceased, the accusations of all parties after the announcement of the will, the absolute reversal of the final plot...all of these made Keito Sakaguchi completely addicted to it.

After reading all the stories in the 6 serials, he began to think deeply.

Keito Sakaguchi is not a reasoning fan, but because of the special environment of the neon society, he has more or less watched some reasoning TV stations and movies.

However, "Death of a Mystery Novelist" is not very complicated in terms of trick design. Compared with some other unconstrained and unconstrained works of Benge School, it can only be regarded as an upper-middle level.

But behind the trick, there is a satire on society, class and human nature!

The son of a mystery novelist, he nominally helps his father manage the company, but actually publishes two of his father's books every year.

The eldest daughter claims to be self-made, but actually relies on her father's free loan of 1 million yen.

The eldest son-in-law said that he was friendly to the female nurse, and at the same time handed her the dirty dishes in his hand. Subconsciously, he still regarded the female nurse as a servant.

After the incident was revealed, the eldest grandson yelled at the female nurse angrily, wanting to prevent the female nurse, an outsider, from taking away the inheritance of his family, but the detective pointed out that the land of this house was forcibly expropriated and auctioned by the government from the tribal people .

Compared with these people, the female nurse, the protagonist of this book, was born in an Ainu family in the Thousand Islands and belongs to the "old natives", but her kindness and sincerity far surpassed all the "and" people in this family. people".

At the end of the story, under the arrangement of the author, the female nurse also successfully accepted the inheritance of the mystery novelist and drove out the group of hypocritical and ugly vested interests from the house.

In Sakaguchi Keito's view, this story is simply delightful!

It not only represents the oppression of the tribal people including the Ainu by the main body of neon society, but also implies that this oppression will be overthrown sooner or later!

This "Death of a Mystery Novelist" can no longer be measured by a mystery novel, but should be regarded as a social satire!

Thinking of this, Keito Sakaguchi became more and more curious. Who is the author of this work, and is he an Ainu?

He continued to slide the mouse down, and saw a line of words "Author: Akihara Yuto."

Hiroto Akihara?Have you seen this name before?

Keito Sakaguchi frowned, resting his chin with his hand and couldn't stop thinking, as if it had been reported in the newspaper before.

Thinking of this, he said hello, then left the editorial office and went to a review room on the second floor of the newspaper office.In this reference room, there are newspapers of various other media.

After more than 20 minutes of searching, he finally found information about "Akihara Yuto" in several newspapers published in the past few months.

Looking at the words "Thrilling Genius" in the newspaper, Keito Sakaguchi couldn't help but mutter: "Yuto Akihara, a native of Hokkaido, born in an orphanage in the suburbs of Hokkaido."

He looked down, thinking.

If it is Hokkaido, maybe it is really my compatriots?Even if it is not, it may be related people who have sympathy for the suffering of the Ainu people.

Never mind, the next newspaper interview will be him!

It just so happens that this week's manuscript task has not been completed.

After Keito Sakaguchi made this decision, he clenched his fist, put the newspaper back where he had brought it, and then returned to the office.

Next, he will write an interview outline, and report his selected topic to the chief reporter in the afternoon, so as to obtain permission for reporting and interviewing.

……

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Keito Sakaguchi returned to the Social News Department with the interview outline in his hands, and knocked on the chief reporter's office.

In "Adachi Shimbun", due to the different reporting directions, all the pages are assigned to different reporters, and the chief reporter and editor-in-chief are responsible for making decisions on related reports and topic selection.

After a while, after hearing "Come in", Keito Sakaguchi walked into the office, bowed, and handed over the manuscript in his hand to the chief reporter sitting in front of him.

"Chief, I want to submit a topic, interviewing a writer named Hiroto Akihara."

The chief reporter in a loose suit raised his eyebrows, and instead of looking at the interview outline immediately, he asked, "Any news?"

Keito Sakaguchi nodded, "As a debut writer, the other party has recently serialized a novel of more than 10 words for free on the website. I think it has certain reporting significance."

The chief reporter thought for a while and replied: "As social news, this news is not prominent enough."

He paused, then continued to ask: "Is there anything special about this writer and his works?"

Keito Sakaguchi cleared his throat and replied, "The other party was called a genius for horror works by some other newspapers before, and the articles he published on the Internet closely fit the current social situation."

"Social status?" The chief reporter was a little puzzled.

Keito Sakaguchi explained: "He published "Death of a Mystery Novelist" on the Internet, satirizing the experience and discrimination of Burakumin in the neon mainstream society, and thousands of people responded to this article."

His voice became firmer, "I think it's worth reporting!"
