Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Modern people are too busy. The person who died today may be the subject of today’s conversation, but may be covered by more novel news tomorrow. So we must pursue speed.

The above is also what Sato Kiyoshi asked on the phone, and he emphasized it again and again.

It would be best if the newspaper is available tonight and is released at the same time as the other two newspapers that are spreading rumors.

If I say I want to step on you today, I must not wait until tomorrow. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep well at night.

This resulted in everyone at Dongbao becoming busy.

The layout and content that may have been arranged originally must be rearranged and revised.

Dongbao is used to this kind of temporary burden. Anyway, they didn't become busy because of this incident.

Even if there is no such thing, they will still be busy and tired, and there will not be any additional changes.

It was as if Tono wanted to make Qi Chuan famous again. If he had the opportunity to come to Dongfang to report in person, the blow he would receive would probably be greater than being ridiculed by Lu Ren.

As a writer, Lu Ren felt some sympathy for the death of Qichuan Village.

He has time to be angry and energy to accuse. Dongbao's attitude towards this matter was only three words: "It doesn't matter."

Qichuan Village is alive, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the village of Qichuan dies.

Whether this kind of thing can be published in newspapers, whether it can be published on the front page, whether it should be published in a third-rate newspaper, a trivial news and entertainment newspaper, or whether it should be published in the three major newspapers with the best sales and the highest position.

The above-mentioned choices have never been in Tono's hands.

It depends on whether there are other big news that day and the mood of the layout editor.

If there happens to be no big news that day, and the editor thinks it is worth writing about, then he will allocate certain resources as appropriate.

Or just like today, Sato Kiyoshi told his people to work as quickly as possible. A small part of the reason was for popularity, but a large part of the reason was to step on other newspapers.

But no matter what, it's not because of Qichuan himself.

After all, Qikawa Cunko is an author who has been writing for many years. To put it in a more straightforward and unsparing word, she is already out of date.

Readers don't care about a outdated author, let alone Dongbao.

Most news media pursue hot topics, but when it comes to a media of the size of Dongbao, they can actively create news hot spots.

Just like Lu Ren said, as long as he and Bei Dao want to, either of them can make anyone who wants to be popular.

For example, in the original incident, the would-be author passed away before his debut. If Lu Ren didn't mention this matter, it would naturally be revealed.

But Lu Ren was willing to do something for him, and he had already received a lot of attention.

This is not some magic that manipulates people's hearts. The general public is naturally inclined to good things.

What really affects them is the channels for obtaining information. No matter how miserable or inspiring a person is, others don't know what they can do.

Especially now that the Internet is not yet developed, there are even fewer ways for them to obtain information.

If Dongbao doesn't take this seriously, then it really isn't the same thing.

What really stung Tono, causing him to lie on the ground wailing and unable to pull him away, was probably not Lu Ren's words, "You ruined the last meal of her life."

For such a selfish and twisted person, he probably doesn't care about this.

Because he can only see himself in his heart, and he doesn't care about other people's feelings. At most it only hurts a little bit and it will pass.

What really hurt him and made him sad for a long time was the silent but cruel fact before him.

It's the kind of thing that no matter what he does, no matter whether Qichuan Village lives or dies, how he lives or dies, the final result is not under his control.

In other words, he had no choice.

As for Lu Ren and Bei Dao, who is standing beside him, these two have good choices.

Tono knew they could do what they said they would do.

He made so much determination, put in so much effort, and took such big risks, but what he got in the end was still an uncertain future decided by others.

But for Lu Ren and Bei Dao, this is just a matter of their words.

This extreme contrast was inadvertently thrown out by Lu Ren and quickly exposed.

But the more this happened, the angrier Tono became.

[The future that I bet on everything I long for is not worth mentioning in your eyes. I don't even want to say a few words about this, but talk about humanity, care, and the last meal. 】

This kind of disregard is most hurtful.

Standing in the quagmire, he couldn't reach the clouds at Lu Ren's feet even if he tried hard, and he couldn't even get them dirty.

But, again, no one cares.

Even Lu Ren, after saying what he wanted to say, turned around and asked Bei Dao what he wanted to eat at night.

He also didn't care what Tono's reaction would be after hearing what he said.

What Lu Ren wants now is to eat a bowl of hot ramen with Bei Dao, with large pieces of barbecued pork and lard fried eggs. It’s okay to pull in Maoli Weng and his son-in-law, or not.

But Bei Dao rejected the proposal. She wanted to go back and take over the work again, and hoped that Lu Ren would write a manuscript about today's events.

Since Sato Kiyoshi wanted to slap the other two newspapers in the face, it would be best for the person involved to write it.

Lu Ren accepted the proposal, and then stayed up until about five o'clock in the evening. Bei Dao was still too busy to take time to come. After thinking about it, he called Xiao Ai and asked for dinner.

In today's case, although the murderer's motive is ridiculous, the entire process of the case is still worth talking about.

After all, this is the "first time" to solve a case. Although I have used a lot of help from Beidao during the process, the first time is the first time.

You must find someone to share this joy. Lu Ren thought of Xiao Ai first.

One is because he hasn't seen Xiao Ai much recently, and he's a little worried about it. Second, she is the best listener.

Storytelling not only requires the narrator, but also the audience.

Just like Shiina Hana, she is also a frequent listener of stories. But can she understand the mystery story Lu Ren is going to tell today?

I can’t even understand it, let alone feel its subtlety. It’s boring to hear, and it’s boring to say.

But Huiyuan is the kind of person who can understand, and Lu Ren is willing to tell her.

"That's about it."

"Yeah." Seeing that Lu Ren's rice had reached the bottom, Haiyuan asked for a bowl, added another large bowl of rice, and poured two tablespoons of curry on it.

When Lu Ren comes over to cook, Huiyuan will cook two pots of rice.

When it comes to eating, it’s usually impossible to finish it. But it's not a big problem. All that's left is the doctor's breakfast tomorrow. There is more leftover for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Seeing Lu Ren concentrating on eating, Huiyuan raised the corner of his mouth, smiled for a while and then advised, "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, there's plenty left."

"Uh-huh."

"This guy named Tono, if he hadn't happened to meet you, he might have gotten what he wanted."

Lu Ren put down the bowl, "Xiao Ai, your statement makes me feel like a god of plague."

"From his perspective, you are indeed a group of plague gods."

What are you doing from the prisoner's perspective?

Lu Ren muttered to himself, but did not dare to say it directly. The spoon in Haiyuan's hand was bright and heavy.

"But even if we don't go, he probably won't get what he wants."

"Oh?"

Lu Ren explained and analyzed this to her.

In fact, for Dongbao, there is nothing good to report about this matter.

Just like Bei Dao's previous plan to call Sundoshi, he also wanted to put the news in the entertainment section she was responsible for.

If it were Kudo Yusaku or even Kaho Ri who had a new name, these two would have been killed, and it would have been worthy of a front-page headline.

Qichuan Village...who is this person?

Before reporting a piece of news, you have to first popularize what kind of books Qichuan Village has written and what kind of achievements it has achieved. How troublesome.

Furthermore, the idea of ​​an author being killed by a character seems ridiculous.

Second- and third-rate tabloids don't care about sales, so it doesn't matter if they give you a headline. Anyway, their headlines are worthless and have little credibility. Everyone just takes them as a joke.

First-class or even top-notch newspapers should consider this. Will putting this kind of thing on the front page reduce their style and credibility?

This will lead to a very embarrassing possibility. Even if Tono's tactics were not exposed, the final result would not be what he wanted.

The tabloids reported it at length, but to no avail. Everyone dismissed it as a joke, and at most it became a new urban legend.

There are so many such urban legends.

The top newspapers don't give enough attention, so they throw it into the entertainment newspaper to make everyone happy, instead of putting it into the morning and evening newspapers that have enough subscription attention.

If this is really the case, then everyone can live happily ever after.

In the final analysis, Qichuan Cunzi's death method can only be regarded as a gimmick. But for people nowadays, gimmicks are not enough.

The manner of her death lacked seriousness and depth.

Just like the would-be author originally said, "The talented new author unfortunately died." This is a way of death that will arouse everyone's regret.

But "the author was killed by the characters he wrote" can only be treated as a joke. To sum it up with a mean sentence, "dying has the effect of the show."

Everyone in Tokyo has seen this kind of recuperative death method too many times.

How could such a reputation be made so that people would spontaneously purchase a collection of works out of regret.

In this case, the final result is likely to be that Qichuan Village died worthless.

"Well, the above is what Bei Dao told Tono."

Haiyuan's expression changed, "Is this what Sister Xiao said?"

"Yeah. That's what she does. She knows more than me."

Lu Ren paused for a moment, "We were all about to leave at that time, but for some reason Tono suddenly started to curse, and the curse was very unpleasant. Then Bei Dao went up to analyze it for him."

"Then... what's Tono's reaction?"

"Well..." Lu Ren thought for a while and concluded, "You must have cried quite miserably. I almost lost my breath."

"..."

Dr. A Li, who was listening in, imagined that scene and shivered uncontrollably.

Haiyuan's performance was much better, but he was still silent.

She felt that Bei Dao's words were more hurtful than Lu Ren's personal words.

She could even think of Bei Dao's expression and tone when he said these words.

That is... without expression, telling the established facts calmly.

[You tried hard, but it was no use. The movement of the world may be skewed by one person, but that person will definitely not be you. 】

Because there are no personal feelings or offensive words, the authenticity and credibility will be higher and more hurtful.

Looking at Lu Ren who knew nothing about it and was even a little confused, Haiyuan sighed and felt a little relieved at the same time.

She picked up the spoon and gave Lu Ren some rice and vegetables again. "Eat, eat."

"Xiao Ai, why do I feel like you look at me strangely?"

Lu Ren was a little suspicious at this time. Haibara's eyes are a bit familiar to him now, because he usually looks at Shiina Hana so often.

"Is the curry delicious?"

“It’s quite delicious.”

"Then eat more." After saying that, Haiyuan added another full spoonful of curry to Lu Ren.

"Well……"

Lu Ren fell into deep thought - Lu Ren gave up thinking.

Forget it, the curry is delicious.

Just when Lu Ren was about to get back to work, Haiyuan's phone suddenly rang, "Hey, um, I have no objection. That's it."

After hanging up the phone, Haiyuan looked at Lu Ren: "Conan called, asking if he wants to go skiing tomorrow."

Lu Ren: "He proposed it on his own initiative?"

"Yeah. It's said that I, Yingyou, have been visiting my house recently, which bothered him a lot, so I wanted to go out and hide away from the limelight."
