Chapter 60 Writing in the Republic of China (59)

The night watchman was assassinated while giving a lecture at Peking University!

This major news swept the entire city of Peking with overwhelming force, and the whole city was in a sensation.

All the reporters in Peking loved the night watchman to death.

He alone supported countless tabloids and reporters in Peking.

The aftermath of "The Animal Path" was still in the ascendant, and the news of the night watchman's assassination came out again!

Such a writer who creates hot spots for them to write articles from time to time is really considerate!

At this time, if you open any newspaper in Peking, the front page headline is the news of the night watchman's assassination.

Major newspapers such as "Chaoyang Daily" and "Gongyi Daily" are still relatively moral. They reported the whole process of the assassin's escape after the failed assassination of the night watchman, and the injured night watchman was protected by the human wall formed by Peking University teachers and students. Among them, the words shouted by President Yang Jusi, "Please kill me Yang first" were mentioned in many reports.

This incident caused great panic in the literary circle.

Some people are so crazy that they assassinate on campus in broad daylight. This incident itself can cause great insecurity to the writers.

If someone can assassinate the night watchman openly today, then someone can assassinate them openly tomorrow! The night watchman was lucky enough to escape, so can they be so lucky? !

So many bigwigs chose to speak out.

"Chaoyang Daily" published such an incident:

A professor named Liu Shuomei from Peking University had always disliked the night watchman. When "The Animal Way" was first published, this old professor even wrote articles for a week to scold the night watchman and his articles. But when the night watchman was assassinated and injured, he was one of the first professors to stand up and form a human wall. Afterwards, he even spoke out on many occasions to denounce this despicable and terrifying assassination, and his words showed a lot of sympathy for the night watchman.

So the reporter of Chaoyang Daily interviewed Professor Liu Shuomei and asked him why his attitude towards the night watchman changed so much.

Professor Liu Shuomei said: "I hate Night Watchman because I don't agree with his articles, which is a personal grudge. But I am now running for Night Watchman for justice."

In addition to people like Professor Liu who put aside their personal grudges and run for justice, there are also some people who are also speaking out for Night Watchman. They are fans and friends of Night Watchman, and they are furious when they know that Night Watchman was assassinated.

For example, Ding Hui, Le Jing's deskmate, his father is the deputy director of the police department. As the son of the deputy director, he abused his power and ordered the police to solve the case as soon as possible and arrest the murderer as soon as possible.

There are also some book fans who are common people and have no powerful family. Some of them only have three inches of green hair in their hands, so they hold the pen tightly to vent their emotions and write about the righteousness of the world.

Under the unremitting efforts of these people, the direction of public opinion on this matter in serious newspapers is focused on supporting Night Watchman, criticizing the mastermind behind the assassination, and calling on the authorities to arrest the murderer as soon as possible.

But some tabloids don't have such high moral integrity. In many news reports, Le Jing is dead, and the cause of death is varied, including a gunshot to the head/knife-slashed/poisoned... The most bizarre one is that Le Jing was strangled to death by a female student because of a romantic debt.

In some news reports, Le Jing is not dead, but has become a vegetable/seriously injured and dying/paralyzed in bed...

And the speculation about the identity of the murderer is even more varied. Some say it is a senior official in the party, some say it is a gang member, some say it is a literary giant, and some even say there is no murderer at all, and all this is just a self-directed and self-acted by the night watchman.

"I'm really fine. It's just a scratch, I wasn't shot, and I'm not paralyzed." Le Jing stood up and turned around to show his intact body to Zheng Yiliang who came to visit him.

Zheng Yiliang looked Le Jing up and down, and found that he was really alive and kicking, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Do you know what the newspapers are saying about you now? Many newspapers say that you are dead, and many newspapers say that you will die soon."

Le Jing said helplessly: "These are all gossip tabloids that make up stories for sales, and they can't be believed."

After knowing that Le Jing was fine, Zheng Yiliang mentioned the business: "What did the police say? Has the murderer been found?"

Le Jing shook his head, "With so many people present, the murderer had already escaped in the chaos, and it is definitely impossible to catch him now."

Zheng Yiliang frowned. Le Jing raised his eyebrows, his eyes were angry and worried: "Do you have any suspects in your mind?"

Le Jing shook his head again and laughed at himself: "I have offended many people."

Hearing Le Jing's words, Zheng Yiliang's eyes flashed with pride and admiration: "They hate you because you told the truth and you exposed their hypocritical faces, so they can't wait to get rid of you." He raised his head high: "Their hatred for you and this failed assassination are precisely the most successful tribute and admiration for you!"

Le Jing looked at Zheng Yiliang, who was proudly looking up, and thought of the assassination against him two years later.

He was still thinking about whether he could prevent Zheng Yiliang from dying in an assassination, but he didn't expect that he would be assassinated earlier than Zheng Yiliang.

It's just that he successfully avoided this assassination, can he avoid it next time? And the assassination that led to Zheng Yiliang's death in the future, can he really prevent it?

Zheng Yiliang didn't know what Le Jing was thinking. He was still sighing: "You were lucky to dodge the bullet this time, but you won't be so lucky next time. I have several guards at home who are good at guarding the house. I will lend them to you to protect your safety during this period."

Le Jing nodded and thanked Zheng Yiliang for his kindness. This "luck" is indeed difficult to replicate.

After he escaped from danger, he also carefully analyzed the whole process of the incident. Then he came to a conclusion-someone was saving him.

First, the timing of his trip was too coincidental, and then someone shouted after he hid, creating a chaotic situation for his escape. These two things combined made it seem like someone was saving him.

Who was it?

Is there an internal conflict among the masterminds behind the scenes?

Or is it some "Robin Hood" who sees injustice?

Just at this time, Nakamura Ryota suddenly came to visit.

The first thing he said when he saw Le Jing was: "Sir, leave China."

Le Jing was stunned for a moment, and he thought of something in his mind. He pondered for a few seconds and asked calmly, "I will die, right?"

Ryota Nakamura's eyes immediately turned red, he closed his eyes painfully, and nodded imperceptibly.

"Who is the murderer?"

Ryota Nakamura lowered his head, bit his lips hard, and sobbed and squeezed out a weak voice from his throat: "I... don't know."

Le Jing nodded knowingly.

Just like he didn't know who the murderer of Zheng Yiliang was, Ryota Nakamura from another world line would not know who killed him.

A hundred years is too long, so long that his and the murderer's bodies have become bones, so long that all grievances and joys and sorrows have no meaning. Only time can create the greatest desolation.

Ryota Nakamura raised his head and met the boy's eyes as calm as the lake. He didn't know what Li Jingran was thinking at this time, just like he never knew that there would be someone who could be so calm after knowing that he would be killed.

"But there are suspects. I've seen decryption programs on TV - you can think of them as small movie projections. The program says that there are two organizations that are most suspicious."

Nakamura Ryota whispered two names word by word. One is the secret service within the main party that currently rules the country, and the other is the huge black shadow Qing Gang entrenched in the underground of the country.

The common point of these two forces is that they have monstrous power.

Le Jing was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed.

"I didn't expect that a few small articles written by me, Li, would become a thorn in the eyes of those two organizations. I'm really flattered."

"Sir! I'm not kidding!" Nakamura Ryota growled anxiously: "It won't be long before those people will kill you! You have such great talent, you shouldn't die so young!"

Le Jing looked at the angry boy in front of him gently. In the eyes of this boy lived an angry but desperate lion.

He patted his shoulder soothingly, smiled at him, and said softly: "No one should not die. As long as their death is valuable, then there is nothing to be afraid of."

"But this could have been avoided! As long as I tell you the date..."

"Is it really avoidable?" Le Jing shook his head, calmly and cruelly revealed the truth to this boy who could not change his innocence despite two lives: "As long as they want to kill me, they can send someone to kill me at any time. Even if I can escape once, I can't escape the second time."

Nakamura Ryota was stunned on the spot, and the desperate lion in his eyes let out a painful low roar: "Then... Is there really no way? Can I only wait for them to kill you?"

Le Jing shook his head again, and he spread his hands barely: "There must be a way, but I haven't thought of it for a while, and I need to think about it again."

"By the way, how long will it take before I am killed?"

Nakamura Ryota accurately burst out a series of clear numbers: "There are still 185 days."

Half a year.

That means he may only have half a year to write.

There is only half a year left to turn the tables.

Le Jing thought, he needs to think carefully about what to do.

First of all, he needs to figure out their motives.

Is it the content of "The Animal Path" that violates taboos? Or is it his previous works that have planted the seeds of disaster.

Or maybe...

"The Rise of Dynasties".

Le Jing raised his eyes and looked at the rolling clouds in the sky. The sharp edge that burst out of his eyes in an instant made the anxious Nakamura Ryota suddenly feel relieved.

The young man closed his eyes slightly, and there were flashes of light in them.

If it is really "The Rise of Dynasties", then what did you see from this unfinished book?
