When Luoyang saw the shortlist for the Edogawa Ranpo Award, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Why was he eventually selected as a finalist for the Edogawa Ranpo Award even though he refused to reveal his personal identity?

He frowned slightly, and then seemed to remember something. He went directly to the backstage of Twitter and contacted the contact person at Kadokawa Publishing House: "Is there something wrong? Why was I shortlisted for the Edogawa Ranpo Award?" list?"

"This is the sincerity of our Kadokawa Publishing House!"

The other party seemed to have guessed that Teacher Theking would look for him, so he received a reply within ten seconds of sending Luoyang's message.

Seeing the other party's reply, Luoyang understood the reason. He frowned and thought for a while, then typed quickly on the keyboard: "It may be a pity, but I still think I should tell you something, because it seems that everyone has a certain problem. Common misunderstanding, actually, I am not Japanese.”

He may also have some cooperation with Kadokawa Publishing House in the future, so being open and honest earlier will make it easier in the future.

As for the other party refusing to cooperate with him because he is not Japanese - this chance is too small for Japanese capitalists who put their interests first. After all, qualified capitalists do not consider moral integrity in the face of interests.

However, it is worth mentioning that this time, Luoyang's message was sent for two full minutes, but there was no reply from the other party.

Just when Luoyang was about to lose his patience and was about to turn off the computer and go out to feed Mi Gulu, Luoyang saw another reply from the other party.

"Teacher Theking...don't be joking...you can write mystery novels with Japanese characteristics such as "White Night Journey", "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "Summer of the Bird"...how could you not be us? What about the Japanese..."

The other party seems to be a bit arrogant, which can be seen from the dense ellipses.

However, Luoyang felt that even if he told the people at Kadokawa Publishing House about this matter, they would not publicize it.

Taking a step back, even if this matter is exposed, it will not cause much loss to him, so Luoyang feels that the impact of this matter is not that serious. He affirmed: "I am not joking, I really am not Japanese, you don’t need to ask any more questions.”

When Yoshino, who was responsible for contacting Teacher Theking, saw Teacher Theking reiterate that he was not Japanese for the second time, Yoshino was really confused.

What is going on? Is it true that Mr. Theking, who single-handedly created "White Night Walk", "The Devotion of Suspect , this is really incredible!

Even some Japanese people don’t have a deeper study of Japanese culture than Mr. Theking, right?

Ah no, no, that's not the point. The point is - Teacher Theking, who defeated the number one person in Japanese reasoning, Mr. Endōma, and is regarded by countless Japanese people as the future hope of Japan's reasoning world, is actually not a native of Japan, but a crook... …

Bah, bah, bah, teacher Theking is a foreigner?

This news was so shocking that Yoshino's head suddenly lost the ability to think and turned into a mess.

What he can be sure of is that if this news spreads, it will probably cause an uproar. Even Mr. Endōma, who was recently defeated by Mr. Theking, will make a comeback unwillingly, because Mr. Theking's victory represents the defeat of Japanese reasoning!

Although everyone was a little bit sad about the failure of Mr. Endōma, it was more of a feeling that there was a generation of talented people in the Japanese reasoning world.

This is based on the fact that Mr. Theking is Japanese. If Mr. Endōma loses to other Japanese, this shows that there are successors to Japanese reasoning. If Mr. Endōma loses to people from other countries, the meaning will no longer exist. same!

"Then which country are you from?"

Yoshino asked this question with almost trembling fingers.

Even though Teacher Theking had told himself not to ask any more questions, he couldn't help but ask.

So he was destined to not get the answer, because Teacher Theking had no intention of telling himself: "You should know that in terms of reasoning, it would be meaningless to tell the truth in advance. Of course, I will let Japanese readers accept this in the most gradual way. of."

Describe this matter with reasoning?

Yoshino really wanted to complain that your "White Night Journey" and "The Devotion of Suspect X" did not tell the truth in advance.

Of course, he only thought about this and did not dare to say it out loud. No matter which country Mr. Theking was from, he could bring huge benefits to Kadokawa Publishing House and add a lot of color to his career. Pen.

Therefore, he did not dare to offend Teacher Theking.

Besides, if you only think about profit, it doesn't seem to matter whether Mr. Theking is Japanese or not.

Thinking of this, Yoshino's tight pressure eased a lot. He said to himself: "This matter still needs to be reported to the company, but based on my understanding of the president and the others, I'm afraid this secret will only rot. In the minds of company executives, the poor Edogawa Rampo Award is probably going to be cheated, after all, this award has never been awarded to a foreigner.”

At this moment, Yoshihiro had a decision.

The Edogawa Ranpo Prize can only be cheated. Who would have thought that Mr. Theking, who wrote works with very Japanese characteristics, is not Japanese?

Of course, Yoshino is also a bit lucky. He thinks that maybe Mr. Theking is Japanese and he just doesn't want to admit it because of some unknown reason. If that's the case, that would be great.

Or, it’s okay if Teacher Theking is a mixed race, as long as he has Japanese ancestry.

In the end, Yoshino could only shake his head with a wry smile. In fact, he also knew that the possibility of his guess was too small.

Teacher Theking's two statements clearly illustrate this point. There is no need for the other party to make up lies to deceive himself, because this kind of deception is meaningless.

However, what will Japanese book fans think when they discover that the all-powerful Teacher Theking is not actually Japanese? Will they feel like they have been fooled, even though Teacher Theking has never acknowledged his nationality——

Yes, Teacher Theking has never acknowledged his nationality.

Kadokawa Publishing House is not responsible for this. They just need to pretend not to know, right?

Anyway, I take Teacher Theking as a matter of course as a Japanese, a fan of countless books, and an old-timer in the field of reasoning. OK, I successfully passed the blame!
