Hiroto Akihara, who sat down under the stage, was a little puzzled. After all, isn't the chairman usually responsible for this kind of award ceremony?Why is the vice president to preside?

And the surname Hehe reminded him of the sentence he was conveyed just now... don't worry too much...

Murata Xingxiang, who was sitting on the side, seemed to see his doubts, and said in a low voice: "It is said that because the current president is unwell, this vice president Kawai will soon take up the position of the next president."

Hearing these words, Akihara Yu suddenly realized that if this is the case, then everything is reasonable.

While the two were whispering, Shinta Kawai, who was holding a microphone, continued to speak: "...As an organization with a history of more than 80 years...we are very grateful to all the writers for the association...Therefore, we specially set up... .”

After speaking for nearly an hour, Kawai Shinta finally finished the official cliché, and said the content that interested Hiroto Akihara the most, "Next, we will present this Mystery Writers Association Award and Reasoning Literature Newcomer Award."

After saying this, he didn't continue immediately, but paused for a moment. Another man in a suit hurried onto the stage and handed him a list.

At this moment, many reporters with long guns and short cannons came to the bottom of the ceremony platform and began to squat down to take pictures and shoot.

Hiroto Akihara sat up straight and looked ahead, feeling nervous in his heart.The other two candidates beside him, Murata Xingxiang and another gloomy man, also showed apprehensive expressions.

After 3 minutes, Kawai Shinta, who was standing on the stage, held the list and announced the results of the selection into the microphone: "The authors who won the Mystery Writers Association Award and Mystery Literature Newcomer Award this year are Sudou Shuichi and Akihara Hiroto."

Hearing this result, Akihara Hiroto was completely relieved, and he clenched his fists tightly.The two people beside him couldn't help showing disappointed expressions.

Immediately afterwards, some guests in the auditorium began to applaud, and after a while, the applause became louder and louder.

Listening to the applause, Kihara Daigo and Takei Kohei, who were sitting in the partner's seat, were a little unbelievable for a moment, especially Takei Kohei, whose expressions suddenly became extremely rich.

Doubt, suspicion, surprise, discomfort, all kinds of emotions can be found on his face.

Why did Hiroto Akihara, a writer who was clearly banned by himself, win this award?

You must know that the difficulty of winning the Newcomer Award is actually greater than that of the Mystery Writers Association Award!

Although the Mystery Writers Association Award sounds more powerful, but the scope of selection is relatively small, and it has extremely strict regulations. The requirement is to be a writer who has debuted for more than 15 years and has not won the same award.

Although the Newcomer Award for Mystery Literature bears the name of the Newcomer Award, the scope of selection is all writers who have debuted for less than 15 years, and even those who have not debuted can still submit.Because of the low threshold, the number of manuscripts received is uncountable.

Due to such harsh regulations, almost all the writers contracted by the four major publishing houses were wiped out, and none of them were shortlisted.

On the other hand, Hiroto Akihara was able to be shortlisted and won an award under such circumstances, which is simply unbelievable. Is he a monster?

Kohei Takei bit his lip tightly, he quickly realized a fact.

Hiroto Akihara, after receiving the Newcomer Award for Mystery Literature, is bound to become a candidate strongly recommended by the Mystery Writers Association.

This also means that the previous ban on the opponent must end as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it is likely to be dissatisfied by the Reasoning Writers Association.

Takei Kohei frowned and made a decision.

After going back tomorrow morning, I must immediately communicate with the PR Bureau and ask everyone to deny that they blocked Akihara Yuuto before...

Akihara Hiroto didn't know about Takei Kohei's plan, and his current mood was full of joy.

He stood up, smiled and gestured to the two people next to him, and then, together with the writer named Sudou Shuichi, was brought to the podium by a kimono woman in charge of etiquette.

During this process, Hiroto Akihara subconsciously surveyed this Sudou teacher a lot, and found that he was about 40 years old, with a thin figure, a serious expression, and a serious look.

Hiroto Akihara has other thoughts at the moment.

When I first debuted, I was rated as the second "Sudo Shuichi" by some people, and I didn't get rid of this title until a long time ago.As a result, now he and the other party have won the Mystery Writers Association Award and the Newcomer Award respectively, and it is estimated that they will be rumored to be "second".

What a headache.

Together with the woman in kimono, the two were brought to the middle of the stage.Immediately afterwards, the Kawai president received two certificates of commendation symbolizing honor from the woman in kimono.

In the sight of the lights and hundreds of people in the audience, he delivered these two certificates of commendation to Sudou Shuichi and Akihara Hiroto one after another.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, Akihara Hiroto always feels that the eyes of the Kawai president looking at him have an inexplicable meaning.

After the award was over, the audience applauded again, and the reporters kept pressing the shutter with long guns and short cannons,

After waiting for a full 3 minutes, the applause slowly became sparse.

Chairman Hehe looked around the audience for a week, and then said: "Next, I would like to invite the two awardees to give their speeches."

After saying this, he handed the microphone to Sudou Shuichi, who nodded his thanks, took the microphone, and started talking.

"Thank you for the review by the Neon Reasoning Writers Association, thank you to the guests and friends present, it is a great encouragement for me to be awarded the Reasoning Writers Association today...

"The essence of literature is to find the possibility of exploring one's own development on the basis of previous generations. During this process, I realized what I want to write and what I want to do..."

"Finally, I would like to express my gratitude again to the Mystery Writers Association."

After speaking, the audience applauded again. Amidst the flashlights that the reporter kept pressing the shutter, Sudou Hideichi took two steps back and bowed deeply.

Then, he handed the microphone to Akihara Yuto, and squeezed a smile from his unsmiling face.

Hiroto Akihara nodded his thanks, then took the microphone and began to express his thoughts.

"Thanks to the Neon Mystery Writers Association and all the guests for your encouragement, I am honored to be in this position today."

Speaking of this, a series of things that happened today suddenly appeared in his mind.

The letter received at the door of the house, the words conveyed by Takeda-san in the auditorium, the last inexplicable look of Chairman Kawai, and his last speculation.

He paused for 2 seconds, and then continued to speak under the suspicious eyes of everyone in the audience:

"In addition, I would also like to express my deep gratitude to Mantansha for 'supporting' me!"

[Chapter 146.145 Don't spread rumors! ]

Thank you Mandanshe?

Hearing these words, many guests from the Reasoning Writers Association in the audience showed puzzled expressions.

According to the routine award acceptance speech, the general writers’ speeches are mainly to thank the association and family members, or the editor-in-chief. It is rare to specifically thank a company by name.

Because in this case, people often feel that this writer is too utilitarian, which will create a bad impression...

In addition, if you are particularly grateful to a certain publishing house, other publishing houses will often be regarded as the crowd of this publishing house, making it more difficult for other publishing houses to deal with.

Moreover, if the cooperation does not go smoothly and job-hopping, some people will be regarded as ungrateful because of the excuse.

This is not a wise decision, or in other words, what did Mandansha do to make the award-winning Akihara-san say that?

All of a sudden, many guests sitting near the partner's seat turned their attention to the three people who came to the award ceremony from Mantanshe.

However, in the eyes of some insiders, there is a hint of "watching a good show".

"Minister Kihara, I remember you saying that Mr. Akihara has already canceled the cooperation, and he has spoken harshly to our editor many times?"
