My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 593 Congratulations, Conan finally calmed down

Editor-in-Chief Lin smiled and said, "Ah, my cold is gone after I slept last night, and my bloodshot eyes are gone too. I guess it must be because I was too tired."

At this time, Chief Editor Lin suddenly raised his voice and said, "Inaba, a criminal is calling to see you."

"Hey, Detective, what's the matter?" Inaba Atsushi said in confusion, but still walked over and answered the phone.

Takagi Wataru quickly said, "Mr. Inaba, we will come to pick you up later. Please stay in the editorial office and wait for us. Don't leave."

Afterwards, Takagi Shigeru called Maruta Ayumi and others who had already driven to find Inaba Atsushi. Upon hearing this, Maruta Ayumi immediately turned the car around and drove towards Xingrongguan.

Aoki Matsu just discovered something and asked Shiratori Renzaburo to investigate.

After a while, Atsushi Inaba was taken to the crime scene by Maruta Ayumi and others.

Inaba Atsushi walked in and saw the body in the room and was shocked, "Mr. Sugimori, how could it be..."

Aoki Matsu looked at Inaba Atsushi and asked, "Mr. Inaba, the murderer committed the crime between 11:22 and 25: yesterday morning. Where were you at that time?"

"Hey, I was in the editorial department at that time." Inaba Atsushi was stunned, then replied: "You should have heard my message. I remember I asked the editor-in-chief about the time. The editor-in-chief's voice should have been recorded as well."

Aoki Matsu asked Takagi Wataru to play a message from Inaba Atsushi.

After listening to this, Inaba Atsushi immediately said, "Look, officer, I was right. Even the editor-in-chief's voice was recorded. There should be no problem now, right?"

Aoki Matsu frowned when he heard this. Why did Inaba Atsushi's words sound so deliberate?

"No, on the contrary, the problem is with Editor-in-Chief Lin's recording." Aoki Matsu looked at Inaba Atsushi and said, "In your message, Editor-in-Chief Lin said that he went to the Toudou Stadium to watch the evening game today. But the problem is that there was no game at the Toudou Stadium yesterday, and today's evening game will not be held at the Toudou Stadium."

At this time, Shiratori Renzaburo also looked at Inaba Atsushi and said, "I just called the person in charge of the Toudou Stadium, and they confirmed that there will be no games at the Toudou Stadium in the past three days. But yesterday last year, which was April 4, Toudou Stadium held an evening game."

"So the matter is clear at a glance. You must have found an opportunity last year to use a recorder to record Editor-in-Chief Lin's words. After killing the victim, you used the play button to play the recording. Then you used your mobile phone at the crime scene to call the victim's home landline and recorded a message." Aoki Matsu looked at Atsushi Inaba and said.

The seemingly unsolvable murder method becomes a boring and simple game of finding the difference as long as you believe in science.

"And you probably didn't notice that there were blood splatters on the answering button of the landline, so when you pressed the button, the gloves you were wearing were also stained with blood. You can get new gloves, but it will probably take some time to get new ones on the handlebars of your car. Mr. Inaba, do you plead guilty?" asked Aoki Matsu.

Upon hearing this, Atsushi Inaba lowered his head. Faced with the evidence provided by Aoki Matsu, he could only plead guilty.

And Atsushi Inaba's motive for murder was indeed the insider report he mentioned in the message on his landline.

Atsushi Inaba and Masato Sugimori spent three years finding out that a well-known politician was suspected of corruption. Atsushi Inaba was going to publish the news in his own magazine, but Masato Sugimori sold it to another magazine that offered a higher price without Atsushi Inaba's consent.

Although Masato Sugimori also gave some money to Atsushi Inaba, it was not just a matter of money. It was also a problem that the other party did not respect his opinions at all. In addition, there was also the problem of Atsushi Inaba's own beliefs.

Atsushi Inaba was a die-hard fan of Koeikan. He only wanted to be published in Koeikan's magazine, but Masato Sugimori desecrated him with money.

But what neither Aoki Matsu nor Conan expected was that... Masato Sugimori would take the initiative to interview and report on the Junior Detective League, and it was actually Atsushi Inaba who took the initiative to ask Masato Sugimori to do so.

This is really...ignorance is fearless!

He actually dared to provoke the god of death.

Of course, with the death of Masato Sugimori and the arrest of Atsushi Inaba, the interviews and reports on the Junior Detective League naturally came to nothing.

This makes Sayuri, Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko very frustrated.

Fortunately, the big meal that Shiratori Renzaburo treated them to later soothed the little ones' young hearts.

After all, what Shiratori Renzaburo treated us to was a real dinner, not like Aoki Matsu who said he was going to have a dinner, but was actually a buffet.

Fortunately, after this case was over, Conan, the god of death, finally had some peace and quiet.

As far as Aoki Matsu knows, during this period, the three Maori people have been handling cases related to their relatives and friends.

For example, the commission from a good friend in the past and the commission from Xiaozi from the Polo Cafe downstairs.

Aoki Matsu also got some breathing space and attended a celebration party with Shinaka Haruri.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tansho." Aoki Matsu said to an elegant young man.

Tadokoro Shunya turned around and saw that it was Aoki Matsu. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Aoki, thank you for coming to my celebration. Miss Niina, congratulations on the success of your new book."

"Thank you." Shinname Kaori responded with a smile.

"There are quite a few people from the industry here today, but I think there's no need for me to introduce them to you," said Tadokoro Toshiya with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shinname Kaori looked around and said with a smile, "Indeed, there is no need. I know most of the people."

"Brother Aoki, Niina, you are here too." At this time, Suzuki Sonoko appeared out of nowhere, walked in front of the three people, and then squeezed in close to Niina Kaori, and said in a bored tone: "Alas, Xiaolan had something to do today and didn't come with me. I am so bored alone. Niina, let's go over and talk."

Shinna Kaori glanced at Tadokoro Toshiya and Aoki Matsu, and seeing that they had no objections, she followed Suzuki Sonoko this time.

"Why is Yuanzi here too?" Aoki Matsu asked curiously.

I took a look at Toshiya Tadokoro, and yes, he is indeed a handsome guy.

Hearing this, Tansho Shunya shrugged and said, "I don't know either. I just sent the invitation as a courtesy, but I didn't expect Miss Suzuki to actually come."

He is now well-fed and well-clothed, and his sister is gradually recovering from her illness, all thanks to the help given by Aoki Matsu, who later introduced him to Suzuki Sonoko, who signed his book to a publishing house and subsequently sold it like a hot commodity.

Therefore, every time Toshiya Tadokoro held a banquet, he would send invitations to Matsu Aoki and Sonoko Suzuki, but not every time they would attend.

"I guess he's free." Aoki Matsu shook his head, then looked at Tadokoro Toshiya and asked, "How's Chie?"

Chie is Toshiya Tadokoro's sick sister.

Speaking of this, Tadokoro Toshiya smiled even more. "The doctor said that after a period of chemotherapy, if everything goes well, I will be able to recover by the end of this year. After that, I just need to pay attention to my daily life."

"That's great." Aoki Matsu said with a smile.

But Qing Mu Song already has a fiancée, so he didn't continue to ask about Qian Hui to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. "By the way, I heard before that you were going to take a break for a while, so how come you quietly came up with another best-selling work?"

Tansho Shunya said helplessly: "I was indeed planning to take a break for a while. After all, Chie's chemotherapy was at its most critical stage, and I wanted to accompany her. But who can blame the famous vampire horror novelist Torakura Daisuke for his accident?

I happened to be writing a book of the same type as him. After the editor found out about this, he urged me every day, saying that this was a huge opportunity to seize the market, and asked me to write the new book as soon as possible to earn more money so that I could buy more supplements for Qianhui.

I thought about it and decided that this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I had just finished looking for information for my new book, so I started writing.

Then, Tadokoro Toshiya looked around and said in a low voice: "My editor is right. This is indeed an opportunity to seize the market. This book has sold 200,000 more copies than my previous book in the same period."

Aoki Matsu felt complicated when he heard this. If he hadn't helped Tadokoro Toshiya, the unlucky guy who killed Torakura Daisuke and went to jail would have been Tadokoro Toshiya.

"So that's how it is. This is indeed a good opportunity." Aoki Matsu agreed.

After chatting with Aoki Matsu for a few words, Tadokoro Toshiya went to entertain other people. After all, he was the absolute protagonist today.

Aoki Matsu is not a member of the literary circle, and he is not part of the extended literary circle either.

Just when Qing Musong was about to take a glass of wine and sit on the sofa in the corner, someone patted his shoulder.

Aoki Matsu subconsciously turned his head and saw Kobayashi Shigero and Kobayashi Chikako standing on him with smiles on their faces.

Seeing this, Aoki Matsuya smiled and said, "Shigero, Chikako, you are here too."

"Senior Tansho, you are also our senior, and don't forget, we are both contracted authors of the same publishing house," said Shigeo Kobayashi.

Yes, Shigeo Kobayashi also signed a contract with the publishing house under the Suzuki Group, also through Suzuki Sonoko.

"Of course I remember. I was just thinking that you might not have finished your honeymoon yet." Qing Musong said with a smile, "I don't know who said that you should travel around the world on your honeymoon."

"Well, something unexpected happened and we ended our honeymoon early." Shigero Kobayashi said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Surprise!?" Aoki Matsu didn't know what he was thinking about, and subconsciously looked towards Kobayashi Chikako's abdomen.

Could it be that someone was killed?

Seeing this, Xiaolin Chikako quickly said, "A Song, you are wrong, it's not that I am pregnant."

"Oh." Qing Musong withdrew his gaze after hearing this and stopped gossiping.

Seeing this, Kobayashi Shigero quickly changed the subject, "Miss Shinmei, she didn't come with you?"

"Kaori is here too, she was taken away by Sonoko." Aoki Matsu looked around the entire venue, and then found Shinna Kaori and Suzuki Sonoko in a corner, chattering.

Kobayashi Shigero also followed Aoki Matsu's gaze and said with a smile, "I heard that Miss Shinmei's new book is selling well again. When will you hold a celebration party?"

Qing Musong shook his head and said, "There won't be a celebration banquet this time."

"Ah, why?" asked Chikako Kobayashi in confusion.

Shigeo Kobayashi was also a little puzzled.

Holding a celebration banquet is not just a simple celebration, but a large-scale show.

It is done for one's readers and reporters to see, and to consolidate one's position in the public's mind.

It is also made for publishing houses, production stations, producers, directors and others to see, in order to sell more copyrights.

"Kaori's new book is 'Detective Samonji D Jusan'. She always felt that she was relying on the fame of teacher Niina, and she always felt a little uncomfortable, so even if it sells well, she won't hold a celebration party." Aoki Matsu explained.

If a book written independently by Shinna Kaori that has nothing to do with "Detective Samonji" becomes a big hit, she will definitely hold a celebration party and make a big fuss about it.

But even writing a sequel to the "Detective Samonji" series requires strong skills, but Shinname Kaori just couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart. After all, she is really talented.

"Is that so?" Kobayashi Shigero seemed to be thinking about something. Although he was not a second-generation writer, he also had the nobleness of a scholar and could understand Shinna Kaori's thoughts.

At this time, a young man suddenly came over, nodded to Aomatsu Kobayashi Chikako, and then said to Kobayashi Shigero: "Teacher Kobayashi, when will your new book be written? The editor-in-chief said that your honeymoon has ended."

"It's almost done. I'm almost done." Kobayashi Shigero replied with a complicated expression.

"Teacher Kobayashi, don't try to fool me. What do you mean by 'soon' or 'about to'? Give me an exact time." The other party saw through Kobayashi Shigeo's perfunctory rhetoric at a glance.

Kobayashi Shigero rolled his eyes and said, "I'll give you the manuscript before May 5th, that's all right."

"Okay, then we have a deal. Teacher Kobayashi, I won't disturb you from talking to your friends." After saying that, the other party left.

Qing Musong looked at the other person's back and asked, "Are you the editor?"

Kobayashi Shigero nodded. "He is very professional and responsible, but he likes to push for manuscripts too much. He wants his authors to write a new book every day."

Aoki Matsu didn't say anything after hearing this. He just smiled and said to Kobayashi Shigero, "It seems that your third book will be published soon. Shigero, you are quite fast."

Kobayashi Shigero smiled when he heard this, and he put his arm around his wife's waist and said with a proud smile: "My third book is based on me and Chikako. When I was writing, I wrote as if I was assisted by God. I finished all the content in one breath, and the only thing left was to check and adjust the structure.

I think I can write several more books about this kind of pure campus romance. One book is not enough to describe everything between Chikako and I. The editor also said that if this book sells well, we can try to make it into a series. "

As we all know, novel series are the most profitable.

"That's good, Maolang. I wish you success." Aoki Matsu raised the wine glass in his hand with a smile.

"Thank you." Shigeo Kobayashi and Chikako Kobayashi smiled and clinked their glasses with Aoki Matsu, then drank it all in one gulp.
