Chapter 66 is also good news

"But that is not included in our package." Gu Jiayu hesitated.

There are rows of prefabricated houses in the playground, which are used as shops or for games such as ring tossing and balloon shooting.

"It's okay, you invited me to the amusement park, I'll treat you." Gu Lu said.

"Really?" Gu Jiayu jumped and ran to the stall.

The stall owner was an enthusiastic middle-aged man. He had a rag hanging on his shoulder to wipe his sweat at any time and a flattering smile on his face. When he saw someone approaching, he would immediately go towards them.

"Two kids want to play? I'll give you a discount." said the rag stall owner.

"What's the price?" Gu Lu asked.

"There are two types. One is to use this rifle to shoot bullets, twenty shots are 5 yuan, and the other is to use a bow and arrow to shoot, fifteen arrows are 5 yuan." The rag stall owner introduced.

The entire shooting range is covered with a white cloth as an arrow shield, with colorful balloons hung in rows on it.

"If you shoot 20 balloons with 18 bullets, you can choose a stuffed toy. If you shoot 15 balloons with 13 arrows, you can also choose a toy." The rag stall owner said, "Come and try, I can give you two more bullets or an arrow."

So this is the discount. Strictly speaking, it is more expensive than the stalls outside, but considering that there will definitely be a price increase inside the amusement park, it is understandable.

Gu Lu said, "Then let's start with the 5 dollar one."

He turned his head and asked, "Jiayu, air rifle or archery?"

"Of course I know how to shoot arrows." Gu Jiayu added in her mind, how could a female warrior use a gun?

The bows and arrows sold at roadside stalls were definitely not very professional, at most they were slightly better than plastic children's toy bows. After Gu Lu paid, his sister also took the bow and 16 arrows from the stall owner.

She believed that she was so heroic that she could definitely shoot and pop sixteen balloons in a flash, but the fact was that Gu Jiayu's first two arrows went astray.

It wasn't until the sixth round that Gu Jiayu finally found her form.

Record: 16/7
Not bad, almost halfway. Seeing that his sister was still not satisfied, Gu Lu asked, "Do you want to play another round?"

"No, it's too expensive. Five dollars can only get me a dozen arrows." Gu Jiayu shook her head.

In that case - Gu Lu looked at the trophy cabinet next to the stall owner and said, "Boss, how much is this bow and arrow toy?"

"This? Fifty yuan. Since you are all students, I will sell it to you at a lower price, 45." The rag stall owner waved his hands generously, as if he was giving away a huge profit.

Before the brother even opened his mouth, the sister couldn't sit still anymore, "What do you mean forty-five? I saw a similar toy in the supermarket before and it was only thirty-five. How can it be so expensive?"

"Supermarkets have a lot of stuff, so they sell at a low profit but in large quantities. Our products are too cheap and we can't make any money at all." The rag stall owner said, "I'll take a loss. Forty yuan is the lowest price."

To be honest, Gu Lu was not good at bargaining, either in his previous life or this life, and he had no idea about the price of a toy bow.

So he glanced at his sister, and seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Lu paid for it.

The moment Gu Lu took the bow and arrow from his boss——

[Edogawa Ranpo Award] [Detective Death] [First Place in Weekly Bunshun’s Mystery Annual Ranking] These three labels were transformed into a book, “After School”.

Details: This is a campus youth mystery novel. Its tricks are very authentic and the final motive is even more shocking. The story takes place on campus.

It turned out to be this book. Gu Lu slapped his head. Why didn't he think of it at all? Indeed, the "I" who deduced the truth was killed by his wife in the end.

Among Keigo Higashino's four masterpieces, "Malice", "White Night Walk" and "The Devotion of Suspect X", this is the last one, which can be said to be Higashino's masterpiece.

But this novel is impossible to write! First of all, its tricks include sliding doors and archery clubs, two keywords that are hard to find in domestic campuses.

Secondly, the motive for murder is too inappropriate for children, Gu Lu covered his forehead. "That's right, it's impossible for all the triggering books to be used, such as "When the Stars Shine" and "After School."

Gu Lu thought of the bright side. At least the list was cleared, so that both the item sequence and the dialogue sequence were empty, making it easier to trigger other works.

Holding "The Little Prince" and "Mr. Sherlock Holmes" in his hands, Gu Lu was not panicked at all.

"This is for you, Jiayu. You can buy balloons and play with them at home in the future," said Gu Lu.

"Thank you, brother." Gu Jiayu took the gift with both hands, her eyes curved and she smiled very happily.

Then the two continued to play the remaining items in the package...

Speaking of which, Gu Lu has not been idle during the past twenty days of summer vacation. He has been busy typing.

And he fully realized two things:

First, he had no talent for drawing, and his speed in copying the original painting was very slow.

There are 63 pictures in total, and only 24 of them were finished in three weeks, about one picture a day. Fortunately, the original pictures did not require too advanced techniques, and even looked like children's paintings, otherwise I would really have to ask for help.

Think about it, when "The Little Prince" becomes a hit book, the copyright issue will be really troublesome, so Gu Lu is slow, but he is also willing to take his time.

Second, his typing speed has improved from two to three thousand words per hour to three to four thousand words per hour. Practice makes perfect.

"worn out!"

Gu Jiayu slumped on the sofa without paying any attention to her image, but the mahogany sofa was a little bumpy, so she sat up straight after a while.

The two played in Nanping Amusement Park until seven in the evening.

After returning home, Gu Lu prepared a simple meal of one meat and one vegetable. After finishing his dinner, Gu Lu made a bed for himself on the mahogany sofa.

I don’t know if all mahogany sofas in the world have the same shape. The backrest has semicircular protrusions, and there is a big gap at the connection between the cushion and the backrest. Gu Lu stuffed it with cotton wool little by little.

The newly rented house has one bedroom and one living room. He couldn't let Gu Jiayu sleep in the living room, so he chose to give up the master bedroom.

"Brother, good night!" Gu Jiayu fell asleep after saying that, and slept soundly. In fact, after a crazy whole day, it was hard to have any extra energy, so of course she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

The next morning, Gu Jiayu left at 9:30 because she had to go back to Suokouqiu in advance and wait for Uncle Xiao to pick her up so as not to expose the news of her brother's move.

Although Gu Jiayu is young, she is quite thoughtful.

"Take this 20 yuan and buy whatever you want to eat. I'm rich now." Before leaving, Gu Lu gave him some pocket money.

It’s not that Gu Lu is a money-grubber, because even if he gives too much, his sister won’t accept it.

In the following days, Gu Lu returned to his "self-disciplined" life of going to the nearby black internet cafe.

I get up at 8:30 every day, draw illustrations for The Little Prince in the morning, type in the internet cafe in the afternoon, usually for two hours, and read books in the evening.

After leaving Teacher Li, Gu Lu could only go to the Sha District Library to read books. He could get a membership card and rent books for free.

Finally, in mid-July, Gu Lu sent the 5-word manuscript of Mr. Holmes to Han Zang. Of course, this was definitely not the full text.

The full text has more than 100,000 words. Although I am confident, I still need the editor to take a look at it first. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Han Zang, who was very annoyed by the crappy manuscript, received this document.
