Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Love novelist Huo Pu Jingwu, 48 years old.

With a bald head, double chin, and a shoehorn face, you can't see how handsome you were when you were young, but it is indeed very popular in the field of romance novels, especially after hiring a female assistant Chiaki Minazuki last year, thanks to the young assistant, she burst out again new inspiration.

Houra lives on the 30th floor with Sera Masumi, so Sera knows better, because recently I can see editors waiting for drafts almost every day.

At this time, Huo Pu warmly entertained the three editors who were waiting for the manuscript in his own suite.

"There are quite a lot of meals!"

Several editors stared at the large table of food in front of them.

"No wonder there are always all kinds of people coming and going in the teacher's room..."

"Okay," Huo Pu greeted with a smile, "you're welcome, eat as much as you can."

"But……"

"Hello, room service!" A waitress knocked on the door outside, "Here's the red wine you asked for."

"Oh, here we come," Huo Pu happily opened the door and checked the wine aisle, "This is it, I've been waiting for a long time!"

"Teacher Huopu!" The editor behind said anxiously, "Isn't it time to drink now?"

"It doesn't matter if you drink less," Huo Pu laughed, and told the waiter, "Bring it to my room first, and bring a decanter later."

"OK."

The waiter carried the wine bottle into the bedroom, and Huo Pu turned to the editors again and said, "Everyone, please enjoy the feast to your heart's content. This is also my heart, and I want to thank you for taking care of me all the time."

"But it's too much..."

"Knock knock!" There was another knock on the door outside.

Gao Cheng led Yuanzi and his party to stand outside the door. When Huopu Jingwu looked at the door in doubt, he quickly introduced himself: "Hi, we are all your fans..."

"Oh?" Huo Pu smiled understandingly before Gao Cheng finished speaking, "Would you like me to sign it? Of course."

Houra caught a glimpse of Conan behind him.

It's unexpected that even such a little boy is fascinated by his novels...

"Ah, signature..."

"Hello," another deliveryman came over and said, "I'm Rice Flower Sushi..."

An editor who had been silent in the room couldn't help but stare and said, "Teacher, do you still have something to send?"

"Of course," Huo Pu quickly helped Gao Cheng sign the signatures, and said of course, "There will be pizza, Chinese food and donuts for takeaway after that, please everyone!"

"Ah?"

"Just when you guys are eating, I'll take a bath and sort out my ideas."

Looking at a group of startled editors, Huo Pu smiled mysteriously.

"For me, whichever publishing house eats the most, I will give priority to finishing his manuscript."

"why is it like this?"

Several editors were taken aback.

"It's actually based on the appetite..."

"But how do you judge this?"

"Shouldn't it be enough to just weigh yourself before and after eating? Anyway, there are scales here," Houra said casually. "Be careful, and don't let me sneak out of this room to do anything bad."

"That..." Gao Cheng couldn't help opening his mouth at the door.

I don't know if it was stimulated by the smell of the food in the room, and my stomach suddenly deflated a lot. Speaking of which, I just kept making soy sauce and listening to gossip at Shiliang Zhenchun's side, so I didn't eat much at all.

"What's the matter?" Huo Pu realized that Gao Cheng and the others hadn't left yet, "Is there anything else?"

Gao Cheng came back to his senses: "Actually, about your novel "Phone, Sea, Me\

,"us……"

Shiliang Zhenchun laughed at Gao Cheng and interjected with his little tiger teeth: "The main reason is that the senior said that he solved the meaning of the title of the book, and then we wanted to ask you to confirm."

"Huh?" Huo Pu looked at Gao Cheng in surprise.

When he was cleaning, he accidentally found an old envelope sent to him by a primary school student, and reorganized a story attached to it to create a novel.

However, the novel "Telephone, the Sea, Me" is precisely thanks to his assistant. It was the female assistant who took the initiative to name the book, and carefully revised the manuscript to create the following story.

So in fact, he didn't know the meaning of "phone, sea, me", and he didn't know the identity of the man who sent this email.

"How is it possible?" Huo Pu laughed, "Let's wait until the last chapter is published, and then we'll know..."

"It means 'I love you'," Gao Cheng smiled and interrupted confidently, "I think the person who sent this email should be the heroine's future boyfriend or something."

"Ah? Why, why?" Facing Gao Cheng who made a judgment, Huo Pu felt very convincing for some reason, and suddenly broke out in sweat.

"These three words are changed into English and reversed, 'i, sea, tel', it reads like I love you in Japanese..."

"Haha? How could it be a code that such a child can think of?"

Huo Pu's smile was stiff, and there was a trace of uncertainty in his denial, all of which Gao Cheng saw in his eyes.

Although I don't want to think so, this uncle novelist seems to have a problem.

When the deadline was reached and the three editors urged the manuscript at the same time, I was still in the mood to pull the editors in to play a game of eating, and whoever ate more would submit the manuscript first.

The most important thing is that just by asking a few casually, the uncle himself exposed a lot of problems.

Gao Cheng looked at the several editors who had started to scramble for food, and asked softly when Huopu was about to close the door: "Did you really come up with this code, Mr. Huopu? Why did you name the heroine Jun Ota?" "

Huo Pu froze, and his face was a bit unsightly. The waiter who brought the wine just now was actually the female assistant who lived in the room downstairs, and she was still waiting for him inside.

And this person...

Huo Pu carefully looked at Gao Cheng, who seemed to be looking for trouble, and suddenly his face changed slightly.

It seems to be that famous detective, could it be...

He really planned to take this opportunity to kill the female assistant.

The story of the novel "The Telephone, the Sea, Me" was basically conceived by that woman, and later almost became the other's work.

He didn't understand why the other party was so devoted, no matter how he asked the woman, he just replied with a smile, "I will know one day.".

It wasn't until the news about his mistress broke out in the weekly magazine that he finally realized that this woman simply wanted to take away his family, status, reputation and money, and planned to make him doomed forever.

Indeed, when he was young, he liked to flirt, so it is not surprising that he would plant the seeds of disaster.

But why would a famous detective come here? He's just started planning...

The sweat on Huo Pu's head became more intense, he laughed dryly and said, "How could it be? But the inspiration came from a letter from a fan twenty years ago. I promised the heroine to use the name of that elementary school student..."

"So that's how it is," Gao Cheng stared at the guilty Huo Pu for a while, and said, "Doesn't Mr. Huo Pu know? The reason why I'm sure of the meaning of the email 'Telephone, Hai Hai, I' is because of Ota Jun's words. Name, your assistant Minazuki Chiaki, Minazuki is June, Chiaki's Autumn is AUTUMN...

"Also read it backwards, it's Ota Jun. I'll tell you later that you named the heroine because of this."

"how come?"

Huo Pu was completely dumbfounded, and stared blankly at Gao Cheng.

If he was a famous detective, he probably wouldn't make fun of him, and it made sense, if it was just a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.

"Y-that is to say, Minazuki is that elementary school student Ota Jun 20 years ago? Minazuki is only so devoted to her because of that letter..."

Speaking of which, Minazuki has indeed maintained a working relationship with him, even if he pestered him, he would always smile and say "your wife will be angry", it has always been like this.

It turned out that everything was because of that letter twenty years ago.

The reason why Minazuki invested so much is because he wanted to fulfill the promise made at that time, a novel with Ota Jun as the heroine.

Huo Pu returned to the bedroom in a daze, and opened his mouth to face the female assistant who was still waiting for him in the room, trying to squeeze out a gentle smile.

"Let's discuss the plot of the last scene."

Maybe God also wanted to stop him from doing stupid things, so he met a detective.

What a failure, he, a well-known romance novelist, needs a detective to remind him that he was right not to be a reasoning writer.

In the living room of the suite, Gao Cheng, who was eating and drinking with a group of editors, burped, and said to Xiao Ai beside him, "Are you satisfied now? At least this novel is pure love."

Xiao Ai gave Gao Cheng a white look.

Yuanzi and the others are all ladies, even Conan is gentle, only Gao Cheng doesn't pay attention to his image.

People's editors eat desperately to get the manuscript, why are you a detective with a big appetite joining in the fun?

"So?" Xiaolan kept smiling, "Senior Kido's guess is right?"

Unexpectedly, because of Gao Cheng's interpretation, they would find the truth behind the scenes. They also became the first readers to know the answer to the puzzle, even before the author himself. It is so happy, but it is a pity that it is not easy to share.

"I guess..."

"Ding!".

Gao Cheng was startled suddenly.

The system inexplicably drew a writer card... What did he do?
