How long does it take to conquer a Fuso and make him shout from the bottom of his heart: Squaw!

Kumata Yamada can now answer this question.

Give him time for a book.

When reading the book "Astrology Murder Magic", he was careless at first, but as the plot developed, his mind was constantly thinking along with the author's words.

Later on, I couldn't stop watching and was eager to know the truth, but I was also afraid that the final revelation would not be amazing enough.

Until the moment the mystery was finally revealed, I felt like I had been outside in the sun for an entire afternoon in the summer and then drank a bottle of ice-cold cola. I shivered from head to toe and felt refreshed.

Having worked as an editor of a mystery magazine for more than ten years, Kumata Yamada never thought that mystery novels could be written in this way.

The concepts that were once shackled in the system of detective novels were shattered in an instant.

The shock that came from the heart was like the moment when he was a child and his parents took him to China for the first time and he saw the Great Wall.

It was from that moment that the seed of wanting to study in this country was planted in his heart.

The author of this book carefully weaved a magnificent trick from an angle that no one else had ever thought of.

The key is that the tricks here do not sacrifice logic at the expense of the absurd school, and the plot and puzzles are too abstract.

Although this book has a whimsical theme and the plot setting deviates from the traditional outline of the Ten Commandments of the Book of Knox, its core logic still adheres to rigorous reasoning and realistic evidence.

The gorgeous mystery and the unexpectedness of the final revelation made Yamada Kumata love it very much.

Perhaps it was because he had read too many mystery novels, and it had been a long time since he had seen such a refreshing story.

Yamada Kumata had a vague feeling that if this book appeared in Fuso, it might change the current stagnant mystery novel landscape in Fuso.

This novel is so different

The situation he had worried about, where the Fuso story would be written from a Chinese perspective, did not occur.

The author named Lu Qingfeng obviously has a deep understanding of the culture and customs of Fusang.

The details in the book, such as the layout of the house, the relationship between children and parents in the family, the location and the way of speaking, are all Japanese.

Kumata Yamada admitted that he had preconceived ideas and prejudices, so much so that he almost missed a good book.

The prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain.

"This is a good book! (What a good book!)"

In the quiet reading room, Yamada Kumata couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at "Dear, Killing for You", which he thought would win the award yesterday, he felt a little regretful.

I'm sorry, although you are good too, he is better than you.

He picked up the manuscript, stood up and walked out of the room quickly. He wanted to meet the author of the book.

-

"Please, Zhao Sang, please let me meet with Teacher Lu."

In Japanese, the word "sensei" is a respectful title. On a social level, it is generally used for people such as teachers, lawyers, and authors.

This word can be translated as teacher or sir.

Just like in China, some respected people are called teachers or sirs.

The word "Mr." is generally used to refer to men in modern times, but in fact, in traditional Chinese culture, the word "Mr." has never had any gender connotation.

The earliest source of this word comes from "The Book of Songs·Da Ya": The birthday is in its full month, and the teacher is as wise as a scholar.

The meaning is very simple, that is, if the pregnancy is full-term and the delivery is smooth, the person who is born first will learn more knowledge and be better than the one who is born later.

Thus, the word "Sir" became a respectful title for people who are knowledgeable and skilled.

In ancient private schools, teachers were called "Xiansheng". There were some female teachers in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Because they were rare, the word "female" was added in front of the name, and they were called "female Xiansheng".

Many words in Fusang come from China, and the pronunciation of [せんせい] is not much different from that in Chinese.

Yamada Kumata's attitude was too enthusiastic, and Zhao Tantan was startled.

After realizing what was going on, a smile appeared on his face.

"I can't make the decision on this matter, but I can help you contact someone."

"Who?"

"You did."

Zhao Tantan contacted Yang Xiuxiu.

……

It was three days later that Yamada Kumata officially met Lu Qingfeng, because when they contacted each other, Lu Qingfeng was filming the sixth episode of the show.

Only after it is over will I have time to meet him.

The meeting place was agreed to be a dessert shop near Peking University.

Before meeting, Yamada Kumata had imagined many things about Lu Qingfeng in his mind.

Because he knew from Yang Xiuxiu that this young writer was still in college, he thought that Lu Qingfeng must be a young man who wore glasses, didn't talk much, but was talented.

But when they actually met, his imagination was overturned.

This talented writer in his mind is even more handsome than Fukuzawa Masato, the most popular idol in Japan.

In the Japanese media, Masato Fukuzawa was praised to the sky as a man with a stunning appearance, a prince who traveled from a magical kingdom, and the top face people wanted to have. If they could have him as their boyfriend, they would die immediately.

As a man, Yamada Kumata felt that this was too exaggerated.

After seeing Lu Qingfeng, he thought, perhaps these terms were not excessive, but they should be used on the young man in front of him.

After a brief moment of daze, he remembered what he was here for, stood up, took two steps forward, and stretched out his hand.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu, for meeting with me despite my presumptuous request. Your agent told me that Mr. Lu is still working on music and is very busy."

Lu Qingfeng took a look at the Japanese magazine editor.

He is about thirty years old, with a typical Yayoi appearance. He is not too tall and has crooked teeth. His hair may be due to his job, not as Shamatte as one might imagine.

Look at Yang Xiuxiu who accompanied him.

The girl next door nodded.

"You're welcome, Mr. Yamada."

"It's our first meeting. Teacher Lu is completely different from what I imagined. Your appearance is even better than that of an idol."

Yamada Kumata was very enthusiastic because he saw more commercial value in Lu Qingfeng.

Japanese people are very crazy about chasing stars, even crazier than South Koreans.

In South Korea and China, there are more young people chasing stars, while in Japan, apart from young people, the largest group of star chasers is actually housewives.

Yamada Kumata couldn't even imagine what the scene would be like if Lu Qingfeng showed up in Fusang.

At the very least, the book "Astrology: The Little Magician" will surely be a bestseller.

Don't forget that Kobunsha's main business is women's magazines.

With some joint promotion, the half-dead "Novel Gems" may have a chance to make a comeback.

I originally thought that this business trip to China was just a routine matter and I would just do it perfunctorily. Who could have imagined that I would gain so much?

A groundbreaking mystery novel, written by a writer who is both talented and beautiful.

Kumata Yamada felt that the time had come for him to get a promotion and a raise.
