I am a literary giant in Japan

Chapter 186: Disciples who strive to do well!

"It's because the team leader is sure of this that he doesn't dare to say it out loud. And we, like the team leader, have to pretend we don't know."

At the end of the serialized part, the words that policeman Mano said to rookie Oribe made Hara Bunbei empathize and sigh.

Once upon a time, after graduating from the University of Tokyo and passing the national civil service examination to join the Metropolitan Police Department, he had similar doubts as Oribe.

This includes the question that Oribe had previously asked to the veteran detective Hisazuka, why he didn't tell the victim's family the truth, which was also a question he had asked during his rookie period.

One can tell at first glance that the author of this novel put a lot of effort into selecting the material, and the description of police work is very realistic.

He is worthy of being Mr. Beichuan’s disciple!

The writing level is also very high!
Yuan Wenbei exclaimed in his heart.

In addition, the death of Ema Nagamine in the story also touched Hara Bunbei's nerves.

Because he, like the male protagonist Nagamine, also has a beautiful daughter in her youth.

He also hated the three juvenile delinquents in the novel who flouted the law and exploited legal loopholes to do all kinds of evil.

Product D has always been a difficult problem that Japan dares not mention but cannot solve.

As a high-ranking official, he knows better than anyone that this country is deformed and chaotic.

A country that allows underworld organizations to exist legally and allows gray industries such as the sex industry and gambling to operate legally cannot be free of rampant drug use.

On the surface, the Japanese government requires all civil servants to speak with one voice, saying that in our country, it is difficult for ordinary people to find such contraband.

In fact.

Just as it is written in the book "The Wandering Blade", even those half-grown kids have a way to get the prohibited item "ice cubes".

"Not only did he take advantage of his age to do what he wanted, he was also so audacious as to send the video of the victim being killed to his heartbroken family."

Yuan Wenbei slapped "Literature" with his hands, feeling sick. He wished he could get into the book himself and catch those three lawless guys and beat them up!
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the behavior of the three juvenile delinquents in "The Wandering Blade" was very similar to the recently sensational "The Rose Saint War".

In the book, they sent the videotape to the male protagonist Nagamine, which recorded how they tortured and killed his daughter Ema-chan step by step.

In real life, the boy A placed Jun Tsuchi's head at the school gate and wrote an identical apology letter to the victims' families.

What they have in common is that they all disregard the law and have no intention of repenting.

This suddenly reminded Hara Bunbei of what the heroine Moriguchi Yuko said in "Confessions".

If the Juvenile Law and age limits can only add fuel to the fire, then what is the point of their existence?

"The meaning of existence"

Suddenly, Hara Bunbei felt that the meaning of these things became a little vague.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the office door.

The secretary came in with a pile of documents and reminded him that he had several meetings to attend soon and that he had to visit several congressmen's homes in the afternoon to discuss the next election.

As the Superintendent of Police, his daily work only involves attending meetings, listening to the teachings of the Minister of Justice and the Prime Minister, and socializing with various political and business elites.

I don’t know how long it has been since I last participated in frontline work, and I rarely even touched on work related to police work.

Yuan Wenbei waved his hand, glanced at the "Literature" in front of him, and suddenly wanted to read it all.

"Please postpone all these trips for me." Hara Bunbei did not give a reason. Giving orders was his job, but how to execute the orders well was the secretary's job.

The secretary, feeling troubled, could only bow and leave. He really couldn't understand why the Superintendent of Police, who was always keen on socializing, suddenly became so listless.

Before leaving, the secretary suddenly caught a glimpse of Hara Bunbei picking up a book called "Literature and Art", and immediately caught something in his mind, but he said nothing and quietly left the office.

Another person who secretly reads magazines at work is Nako Hikigaya, who has been doing nothing recently.

She was previously transferred to the special investigation team to handle the "Drunken Rose Saint Fight" case, and after the case was stuck in the Family Court, she also got stuck with a bug for unknown reasons——

Because she was in the special investigation team, she couldn't go back to her original job. Even if she was in the police station, her superiors and colleagues didn't dare to send her to do business, because she now had the title of deputy team leader.

In the workplace of various industries in Japan, the level of position is an insurmountable obstacle, just like seniority.

Sending someone who is higher in position than you to do something is seeking death.

The case could not be closed, the police had nothing to do, and the entire special investigation team was stuck.

So now Nako Hikigaya is forced to slack off and read newspapers and magazines at her workstation all day.

After the new issue of "Wenyi" was released, she immediately bought thirty copies and distributed them to her colleagues in the police station.

Ever since she met Kitagawa Hide and others, Nako Hikigaya has become the well-known "Kitagawa fan girl" in the Kokubunji City Police Station. She quotes Kitagawa's famous sayings every day and promotes her idol to everyone she meets, just like the brainless female fans on TV.

There was no "Confessions" to read in this issue of "Wenyi", but there were new novels by Mayumi Aso and others, and Hikigaya Nako immediately began to read them with great interest.

The opening of "The Wandering Blade" dealt her a heavy blow.

I didn’t expect that Mr. Keigo Higashino, who is usually so amiable and looks very shy, actually has such sharp writing skills!
The death of Ema Nagamine made Nako Hikigaya dream back to the "Rose Saint War" case.

After finally finishing watching "The Wandering Blade", she took a sip of water, feeling uncomfortable.

This novel is interesting, but it is also really depressing. I don’t want to read it a second time.

After "The Wandering Blade", there is "Youth Story: Everything About Lily Chou-Chou" by Dango Shirou.

The title of the book looked like a romance novel, which was very much to Hikigaya's liking, so she began to read it curiously.

"The ether connects to the blue world. Perhaps it is an important transitional period for me."

"Blue ether means eternity and silence. People try to fly in the blue ether world on white gliders, which is called 'gliding'." Hikigaya Nako knew that ether was a substance conceived by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle.

He believed that all things in the material world exist within it, and that it is the fifth element in addition to the four basic elements of water, fire, air, and earth.

With the development of science, these ideas of Aristotle have been falsified one by one, but their concepts have been preserved to this day.

Today, Ethernet is generally referred to as Ethernet, an Internet-related technology.

The beginning of the story left Hikigaya Nako confused, but the fresh and pleasant writing style soon captured her heart.

As a disciple of Mr. Kitagawa, Mr. Keigo Higashino's brushstrokes are cold and serious, completely unlike Mr. Kitagawa's.

On the contrary, Mr. Shirou, who looks carefree and like a hippie, has a delicate writing style that is somewhat similar to Mr. Kitagawa.

Nako Hikigaya really couldn't understand how Sensei Kitagawa could teach two disciples with completely different styles!

It is said that disciples are the embodiment of some part of their teacher.

Is it true that Mr. Kitagawa can easily master various writing styles?

Nako Hikigaya became more and more respectful and curious about Kitagawa Hide.

As she read on, she was surprised to find that the novel "Lily Chou-Chou" was also about juvenile offenders.

However, the story written by Shiro Dango starts from school bullying, and then unfolds a series of youth stories with an internet singer named Lily Chou-Chou as the core.

Come to think of it, ordinary people can also publish novels and songs on the Internet.

Because the Internet is not popular, in the minds of ordinary people like Hikigaya Nako, writers, singers, etc. are unattainable professions.

Many girls dreamed of becoming stars when they were young, and most boys dreamed of becoming writers.

Over time, these dreams are either lost or forgotten.

No one thinks that this special job can be done by everyone.

But in "Lily Chou-Chou", another great benefit of the Internet was revealed, which surprised Hikigaya Nako.

She didn't know that the background of this story was actually done by Kitagawa Hide.

What Kitagawa Hide came up with effortlessly, with his thirty years of social experience, was enough to shock many people of this era.

Kitagawa Hide himself didn't pay much attention to these details.

Back to the novel.

At the beginning of the story of "Lily Chou-Chou", a boy named Hasumi is being bullied by a group of school thugs.

Lian Jian always accepted these things submissively and endured them silently.

Only when listening to Lily Chou-Chou's music can he get a moment of peace.

However, one day, his CD was crushed in front of him.

The boy who crushed his CD was named Hoshino.

Just a year ago, Hoshino was an outstanding student who spoke on behalf of the freshmen, and for a long time, he and Hasumi were good friends who supported each other.

Hoshino is also a fan of Lily Chou-Chou, but for some reason, after a trip to Okinawa, such a star student suddenly degenerated into a tyrant on campus, always bullying other students and humiliating girls.

Dangui Shirou slowly depicts a seemingly simple story with extremely delicate brushstrokes.

When Hasumi's CD was ruthlessly crushed by her former friend, Hikigaya Nako's heart trembled as well.

She clutched her uniform at her chest and suddenly thought of her experiences in junior high school.

Many introverted and shy children often develop a people-pleasing personality.

They will constantly try to please the people around them intentionally or unintentionally, sometimes deliberately playing the role of a clown in the eyes of others, sometimes taking the initiative to run errands for others, and sometimes focusing on being the supporting actor for their friends.

Whether they like it or not, they feel that is the meaning of their existence.

However, all this flattery is often met with nothing but ridicule and contempt.

The other person will not look upon you more highly just because you try to please him.

On the contrary, the more you do this, the more likely it is that your ending will be like Renjian's, bullied by your best friend and losing everything.

After reading the serialization of "Lily Chou-Chou", Nako Hikigaya felt even worse!
She flipped through the pages tremblingly to the end, and found that it was Mayumi Aso's new book, "First Love".

It can't be this kind of depressing article, right?
She was a little afraid to look at it.

After hesitating for a long time and taking several deep breaths, Nako Hikigaya opened "Literature" again and continued reading it word by word.

Fortunately, this "First Love" is no longer depressing, but a sweet love story between an innocent young girl and an older man.

An eighteen-year-old girl falls in love with a twenty-four-year-old painting teacher. There is no violence or abuse in the story, just sweetness!
Mayumi Aso's writing style has become more girlish and sweeter since "Childhood Friends", which is very suitable for girls of Hikigaya Nako's age.

Moreover, she added fantasy adventure elements to the love story for the first time, giving Hikigaya Nako a very novel experience!

Soon, Mayumi Aso's healing story soothed her wounded heart!
"Wow! Mr. Aso, thank you!"

Hikigaya Nako wiped her tears and felt that she was healed in an instant after reading the serialized part of "First Love"!
Similar situations are happening in many places.

Then that evening, a large number of posts about the three new novels appeared on the Yahoo Japanese Literature forum, which had been dominated by Kitagawa Hide for a long time.

The number of posts gradually increased, and more and more netizens praised Mayumi Aso on the Internet.

The nickname “Healing Queen” spread unknowingly!
