Chapter 193 Continue to write the rest of my life in the book

"Yeah."

Standing behind Gao Yuan, a man with an elegant moustache and a pair of glasses said calmly.

"I have admired your name for a long time, Yusaku-san."

Turning around, Gao Yuan said hello - there is no doubt that the person in front of him is the father of Kudo Shinichi, the world-renowned mystery novelist, Mr. Kudo Yusaku.

"I didn't expect that you already knew about Mr. Suinaga Hiruhei."

"Hey."

Feeling a bit disappointed, Yusaku Kudo said, "I went back to Japan this time, I just wanted to get some old materials. But I didn't expect to see the news of Mr. Suinaga's death as soon as I arrived in Japan. So I went to visit the people I knew. The president of the publishing house has seen the unpublished posthumous manuscript of Mr. Suinaga."

"Just looking at a posthumous manuscript, you have noticed the truth of the matter?"

Gao Yuan asked in surprise.

"Because, I've noticed it a long time ago, about the secrets hidden in the non-series works of Teacher Suinaga."

Kudo Yusaku said, "You have already seen it."

"Well, yes, but I only found out after seeing the first edition dates of all Mr. Suinaga's works."

Gao Yuan said, "As long as all the works of Mr. Xu Naga are in the same series, their first edition dates are all in the same month, and this is true for all 22 series. If you look at it according to this rule, you will find that those that are not in the series The works are also published in the same month, so, according to the previous rules, these non-series works may also form their own series!"

In this regard, Yusaku Kudo nodded, but did not speak, motioning Gao Yuan to continue explaining.

"However, all the non-series works, at first glance, have different protagonists, different main characters, and completely different themes and types. So I didn't realize that there was anything in it when I watched all the non-series works for the first time. connect."

Gao Yuan said helplessly, "But when I noticed the clues of the publication date, I began to deliberately look for the connection in the non-series works, and the hidden connection emerged in front of my eyes-there is a supporting role that appeared in all the works. In non-series works!"

As he said that, Gao Yuan couldn't help feeling a little emotional - if this was just an easter egg, it would be too hard!
"In the first work, a girl appeared in the protagonist's sister's class. It was a character that was almost briefly mentioned. It only hinted that the student number was very close to the protagonist's sister, and her surname began with M. And in the first work seven years later, In the second work, a young woman who appeared as a witness to the murder appeared, but because she was only a witness, she did not describe it in detail, and only pointed out the surname 'Momota'."

After a while, Gao Yuan recalled the details.

"Nine years later, in the third work, the protagonist of the policewoman has a pen pal named 'Sang Tian'. In the fourth work the next year, the protagonist asks a housewife named 'Chaomei' for directions at the destination of the trip. Another nine years Finally, in the fifth work, a character called "Aunt the Counter" appeared. Seven years later, in the sixth work, the protagonist's children gave up their seats to an elderly woman who called herself "A Chao". Finally, this is In this posthumous manuscript after 12 years, an old farm woman who distributes cornmeal to the protagonist's family appears."

After talking about the supporting roles in the seven non-series works at once, Gao Yuan began to summarize:

"Seven works, seven seemingly unrelated supporting roles, but if you connect all the publication years, you will find an extremely wonderful detail: the girl who is a schoolgirl in the first book, the second book seven years later Books are for young women, then nine, ten years later book 30, 40 are housewives in their 50s...then another 12 years, book 60 is 'auntie' in [-]s , seven years later, the sixth book is an old woman in her [-]s, and [-] years later in the seventh book, it is an old woman in her [-]s."

Somewhat shocked, Gao Yuan continued:

"If these characters are regarded as the same person, this is simply the life of an ordinary woman who grows with real time and lives in the story in the book-the beginning of the surname of the first 'M' can correspond to the second. The surname 'Momota' in the first part. In the third part nine years later, the surname was changed to 'Sang Tian' because of marriage, and the name of the character finally appeared in the fourth part. Ah Chao'..."

"As the supporting role of the story, a girl named Momota Asami, in her life in the story, nothing major goes wrong, just making friends, getting married, working, entering into a family, having children... just living like this in Suinaga Hirubei-sensei's works spanned more than 40 years."

Yusaku Kudo also said with some regret.

"So, Momota Asami...does this character really exist?"

Puzzled, Gao Yuan raised this question.

With a sigh, Kudo Yusaku said slowly:

"It was when Mr. Sunaga Hiruhei was 17 years old, a girl who lived near his house and was the same age as him. At that time, they had promised each other for life, but Momota Asami died of terminal illness after that. And since then, Mr. Suinaga Hiruhei has never married."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little sad—in the book, the continuation of the rest of her life, the romance in the world, is probably nothing more than that.

"This was 12 years ago. I visited Mr. Suinaga Hiruhei. After asking him about the easter egg in the non-series works, he was silent for a while and told me the story calmly."

Kudo Yusaku said, "The month when the non-series works are published is Momota Asami's birthday month."

"In the posthumous manuscript, Ms. Asami is still very healthy. If you want to write about a person's life, it will be considered as the end of life until the end of life. Therefore, the non-series works are not over yet, and Mr. Xu Yong's wish has not been fulfilled, so it will never be written. It's suicide, it's just..."

"Sunaga Hirubei-sensei himself, but he couldn't last until then."

Kudo Yusaku completed Gao Yuan's words.

"However, there is one more problem."

Gao Yuan said, "How did you know that I was investigating Mr. Suyong's affairs?"

"I went to the publishing house today, and the president told me that they commissioned a white-haired female detective to investigate this matter six days ago, and it just so happened that the female detective left your house today, I think you should be together Let's look into this."

Yusaku Kudo said.

In other words, Yusaku Kudo already knew the answer to the things we investigated these days 12 years ago...

Gao Yuan felt very helpless about this.

"Hey! Yusaku! You still haven't come back to dress up, didn't you agree to give Xiaoxin a surprise together!"

At this time, Yukiko Kudo's voice came from inside Kudo's house, but the person who came out was a fat middle-aged woman with glasses and curly black hair.

"Ah! Xiao Gaoyuan, you are here!"

With this face on her face, Kudo Yukiko couldn't help saying when she saw Takato who was talking with Kudo Yusaku.

"You... Miss Xizi?"

A little surprised, Gao Yuan said hello in this way-this is the face of Edogawa Fumyo that the Kudo couple changed into makeup later, after Kudo Shinichi became smaller, in order to scare the smaller Kudo Shinichi?

"Well, it's me!"

Kudo Yukiko was very satisfied with Gao Yuan taking the initiative to call herself a sister.

"By the way, don't tell Xiaoxin about our return to China! Otherwise, we won't be able to surprise him!"

Kudo Yukiko reminded.

Gao Yuan nodded in agreement naturally, and after exchanging a few pleasantries with the Kudos and his wife, they said their goodbyes.

However, after returning to the room, Gao Yuan locked himself in the basement—wait a minute, at this time, he met Kudo Yusaku returning to China to retrieve old materials. If he remembered the original plot correctly, according to the current time, the If it becomes smaller, it will be tomorrow!
In this case, tomorrow, I have to do something!

However, after thinking all night, Gao Yuan didn't come up with any good solution. On the next morning, when he was about to secretly follow Kudo Shinichi and the others to set off together, a character appeared, disrupting all Gao Yuan's ideas——

In the morning, a figure came to Gao Yuan's house and rang the doorbell.

Gao Yuan, who was woken up, looked out the window and saw the person standing at the door of his house, it turned out to be - Miyano Akemi!
