Chapter 131
If you don’t stand up, you will lose your fandom.
What is the most effective damage to a star?
There is nothing better than the public removal of fans and accusations from big fans.
This is the conclusion Kei Fujiwara came to after many observations in his previous life.
No matter how many gossips there are from outsiders, they are not as powerful as a small essay written by a senior fan of a star before he quits being a fan. Sometimes, it can even beat many popular stars to the point of paralysis.
The reason is easy to understand. Compared with passers-by and ordinary fans, big fans are more familiar with the lives of celebrities, and their public withdrawal from fans makes it easier for the public to question the celebrity.
The people who like you the most are openly against you, so you must really be a bad person, right?
And Kei Fujiwara and Shinichi Chiba are a bit like the relationship between celebrities and big fans.
Chiba Shinichi was the first book critic to praise Kei Fujiwara in newspapers. He was a well-known critic in the circle, and the books he recommended usually boosted sales, so his recommendation was also given to this book in the early stages of "White Night Journey"
The sales of this book have increased significantly.
Later, he was invited to attend the Naoki Prize Awards Ceremony, and even before the award ceremony, he said bluntly: "White Night Walk" is the best among all the shortlisted works.
Even at that time, not many people believed that "White Night Walk" would win the Naoki Award, because the Naoki Award is not a pure newcomer award after all, and it is rare to award it to newcomers, but Chiba Shinichi still said that. Compared with other awards
The icing on the cake that some book reviewers praised "White Night Journey" only after "White Night Journey" won the award is more convincing.
Therefore, in the hearts of readers, Chiba Shinichi can be said to be a staunch supporter of Sima Keita.
But now, even this influential person who has always supported Sima Guitai has begun to rebel. Has Sima Guitai really exhausted his talents?
Three chapters of "Genius Detective Mitarashiyoshi" have been published so far. Judging from the current story, it is indeed not that good. At least it is still far away from Keita Sima's famous work "White Night Journey".
Soon, the fourth chapter was officially published, and the second case of "Genius Detective Mitarashi Kyous" officially entered the reader's field of vision.
The name of this new chapter is "Astrological Killing Magic".
When Togada Nanako passed by Ono Bookstore, she bought the latest issue of "Spring and Autumn Literature Appreciation" in the bookstore.
Ohno Bookstore is near Ueno Park, just a few stops away from Tokyo University of Literature and Art. I heard that Keita Shima worked as a librarian here before writing "White Night Journey", which made this bookstore famous among some literature lovers.
Loud noise.
There has even been a superstition formed recently in the school, saying that this bookstore has good feng shui, and people who have worked here will be successful in their careers...
The owner of Daye Bookstore is a long-haired man in his twenties, who looks like a literary young man. He used to be seen at the counter, but recently he has disappeared. A new store manager has come to take care of the bookstore.
The owner of the bookstore has gone somewhere.
Togada Nanako went home after buying the magazine. After eating, she took a comfortable bath, then lay on the bed and read the magazine, and she took the lead in turning to the chapter "Genius Detective Mitarashi Kiyo".
She has also read recent discussions about Teacher Sima Keita in newspapers, forums, and magazines. Most people are not very optimistic about the fate of Sima Keita's new novel.
In fact, "The Man with a Bandage" is not that bad, but who made Sima Keita turn into a king like "White Night Journey"? In comparison, it seems inferior.
Will the new chapter of the story be better?
Thinking in her mind, Togada Nanako started to read.
[Among the many cases I know, this is the most horrific and bizarre one. I think this almost impossible crime may be the first time it has happened in the world - Preface]
This time Mitarai was not facing a case that happened in front of him, but a murder that happened forty years ago and was full of weird colors. The scale of this case was so large and the plot was so weird that it caused a sensation in the whole of Japan.
However, no one has ever cracked it, and it has remained an unsolved case for forty years.
Forty years later, the truth of this case and the identity of the murderer are still an unsolved mystery.
Just by looking at this setting, Nanako Togada's interest was piqued. Is this case actually an unsolved case from the past? Such a story is difficult to write. I don't know how Mr. Keita Shiba will handle it.
The case begins with a notebook.
The owner of the notes is a painter named Umezawa Heiyoshi. The notes are full of evil content and weird religious terms.
In this notebook, the painter Umezawa Heiyoshi said that there is a demon in his body that has always been against him, constantly tormenting his body and spirit.
Gradually, a desire deep in his heart became stronger and stronger. That is, he wanted to create a perfect woman in his inner world. He also gave this perfect woman in his fantasy a name: Assold.
The human body can be divided into six parts, namely the head, chest, abdomen, waist, thighs and calves.
In Western astrology, the constellations corresponding to these six parts are: Aries, Cancer, Scorpio, Virgo, Sagittarius and Aquarius.
So Assold needs the head of Aries, the chest of Cancer, the abdomen of Scorpio, the waist of Virgo, the thighs of Sagittarius and the calves of Aquarius.
And these parts must be female limbs.
Umezawa Heiji discovered that six girls in his family just met the conditions for making Asoud, and all six girls were virgins, making them perfect materials for making Asoudo.
Therefore, Umezawa Heiji brutally killed these six girls, took out the corresponding body parts, and spliced them into Assword.
After the production of Assold was completed, the remaining body parts of the "raw materials" girls were divided into pieces by Umezawa Heiyoshi and buried in the land representing each constellation in Japan. The constellation attributes of the land were determined by the metal composition contained in the land.
The perfect woman Asoud will be stored in the center of Japan after being created.
In reality, the six girls were indeed brutally murdered as the notes said, and their body parts were indeed buried in those six places.
Seeing this, everyone may have thought that the painter Umezawa Heiyoshi was the murderer, but that painter was also dead.
And she was killed before the girl was killed.
The way the girls died was exactly the same as what was recorded in the diary. This could not be a simple coincidence. The person who killed the girls was either the person who wrote the diary or had read the diary.
However, the police investigated all the people involved in the notes, but found that none of them had the time or ability to be involved in the case. The investigation of the case came to a standstill.
The prisoner should be an outsider. He escaped investigation because he did not come into the police's sight. However, there is no evidence of who this person is.
