The Weeping Wax Figure

Popular Idol in the Mystery Novel Circle - Hayashi Yoshiki

《An unprecedented release day!》

After the new work was released, the words Hayashi Yoshiki and Kindaichi were all over the major mystery-related and even entertainment news newspapers.

Futaba Publishing arranged everything quite well.

Not only did they strike while the iron is hot and increase their publicity and promotion efforts, but they also invited many famous mystery experts and critics to speak out.

Even the situation on the day of the book signing event became promotional material - Lin Jiashu remained in a working state throughout the entire day. Even though he was quite tired at the end of the book signing event, the smile on his face did not change at all.

"Well, everyone's been so hard-working and lining up to support me... I'm a little tired, but that's no reason for me to be perfunctory."

"Anyway, everyone's working hard."

"It would be best if the new work could satisfy everyone."

His humble and sincere speech in the interview once again won him a wave of fans.

Of course, about 90% of these are female fans who are attracted by the face, and most of them are not interested in reasoning...but these don't matter to Lin Jiashu.

However, what Lin Jiashu did not expect was that because of his popularity this time, some people turned around and targeted him.

--He found an invitation letter in his office mailbox this morning.

Dear Mr. Hayashi Yoshiki,

"We sincerely invite you to attend the charity gala planned for December 12st at 21:19 PM to raise funds for orphans affected by traffic accidents."

"My name is Sufang Hongzi, the president of Hongyan Advertising Company."

Looking forward to your arrival

That's all the content on the invitation.

Sufang Hongzi--Lin Jiashu was impressed by this name.

She was a singer who was once very popular in the music scene and was even known as the "Oriental Canary". However, after she later ran an entertainment company and became its president, she never engaged in singing activities again.

However, Lin Jiashu was more impressed by the way she died - she was "killed" by the cursed mask in her own collection. The method used in that case was quite interesting, and Lin Jiashu still remembers it vividly.

He barely remembered that this Su Fang Hongzi was a guy who used the name of charity to embezzle the donations.

Even behind her identity as a philanthropist, there is a story about her past in which she caused a death after a hit-and-run accident, and then found someone to take the blame and killed the person and disguised it as suicide.

Lin Jiashu opened his computer and checked, and found that Su Fang Hongzi had started preparing for this charity gala more than ten days ago. She even publicly announced on her personal website last night that she had sent an invitation letter to Lin Jiashu.

“How interesting…”

Lin Jiashu looked up a lot of relevant information, and his memory became clearer and clearer.

Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang.

The call came from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is...?"

"Hello Mr. Lin, I'm Sufang Hongzi."

The response from the other side made Lin Jiashu raise the corners of his lips with interest.

"Excuse me, did you receive the invitation I sent to your detective agency?" "Yes, I just saw it."

"Then I wonder if Mr. Lin would be interested in attending our Hongyan Charity Company's dinner?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

".....ah"

Sufang Hongzi was surprised.

Her originally kind tone now took on a more serious tone. "Then may I ask why? Our charity gala has always been supported by many celebrities, and we've received a lot of attention from all walks of life... If everyone knew you, Mr. Lin, weren't coming, they would definitely feel it was a shame."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.

After all, Lin Jiashu is currently in the limelight, and the media's evaluation of him is generally positive. If it is revealed at this time that he has no interest in charity and no love to give back to the society, it will be somewhat of a stain on his image.

--Although moral kidnapping is immoral, it does work.

It just so happens that Sufang Hongzi has no morals.

If Lin Jiashu participates, it will bring more topics to her charity dinner. Besides, these writers make a lot of money...Su Fang Hongzi is eyeing Lin Jiashu's pocket.

"As for the reason, I don't want you to pocket the money, right?"

"......What did you say?"

The voice on the other end was stunned for a moment, as if they didn't react, so Lin Jiashu kindly explained the words more clearly:

"Abusing the kindness of others to profit from it, there are people in society who choose to survive in this way, Ms. Sufang Hongzi."

"Mr. Lin! What do you mean by that? You have to be responsible for what you say!"

Su Fang Hongzi's tone on the other end of the phone suddenly became cold and hard.

"Please provide the facts and evidence! Otherwise, we will sue you for defamation and slander against our Hongyan Company!"

"Bluster only shows your weakness, Ms. Sufang Hongzi."

Lin Jiashu answered with a smile.

Su Fanghongzi seemed to be very angry. Lin Jiashu listened to her breathing. After a while, the other party said, "We'll see!" and hung up the phone.

How should she let herself wait and see?

As the president of an entertainment company, anyone can guess the methods she can use with just a little thought.

It’s a pity that her name, photo and even the identity information of her secretary are completely exposed on the Internet, and the threat she poses to Lin Jiashu is almost like that of an ant.

“How interesting…”

Lin Jiashu took out the Death Note and opened it.

For a long time, Lin Jiayueshu has regularly deleted the names written in the Death Note, and only a few names are left for special reasons.

These include the name of the renamed psychologist Kyosuke Fudo and the name of Akemi Miyano.

It has been a long time since Hayashi Yoshiki went to see Fudo Kyosuke for psychological treatment, and Miyano Akemi has almost recovered recently and is able to move freely... Hayashi Yoshiki plans to start hypnotizing and brainwashing Miyano Akemi in the next period of time, asking her to change her name to see if she can avoid the fate of death.

If it is possible, everyone will be happy. If not, Lin Jiashu has no other choice.

On the other side, Sufang Hongzi, whose name had just been written on the Death Note, was holding the landline microphone with a gloomy expression.

She didn't understand how Lin Jiashu could so confidently say that he had embezzled money - unless he had definite information, no adult with normal IQ would say such an offensive thing.

However, Sufang Hongzi has been running charity dinners for many years, and she has prepared multiple contingency plans to deal with this situation... In case Lin Jiashu really has any information that is unfavorable to her, Sufang Hongzi quickly finds her secretary Inaba Kazuyo to arrange for something to be done.

But after giving the order, her expression was still ugly.

She didn't get to eat the mutton but instead got into trouble, which made her feel even more annoyed when she saw Lin Jiashu's name in the newspaper.

Chapter 137: The organization will handle it

Sufang Hongzi's reaction was pretty much what Lin Jiashu expected.

In the past two days, information related to the charity gala held by Hongyan Publicity Company appeared in the newspapers. The list of celebrities from all walks of life that was announced attracted a lot of discussion.

Then there are reports about the practical things that charitable donations are doing across the country.

Amidst all the praise and compliments, Lin Jiashu, who has been in the limelight recently, was suddenly mentioned...and when someone "accidentally" discovered that Su Fang Hongzi mentioned on her personal website that she had sent an invitation letter to Lin Jiashu, but Lin Jiashu's name was not on the final list of participants, the rhythm started to pick up.

When the staff of Hongyan Publicity Company revealed that Lin Jiashu directly refused to participate in the charity gala, the related voices suddenly became louder.

The Selfish Detective

Works ≠ Character

While gaining fame and fortune, we must not forget to give back to society

The Hypocrisy of the Great Detective!

......

Some of the news titles and content only referred to Huai Ma Sang, while others were directed at Lin Jiashu.

Part of it was the work of Sufang Hongzi, and the other part was probably caused by the rival companies of Futaba Publishing who took advantage of the situation. Of course, there were also some newspapers who simply added fuel to the fire and wanted to make the matter bigger to increase newspaper sales.

There were even some celebrities who attended the party who mentioned these things intentionally or unintentionally in talk shows.

Lin Jiashu just felt that he was worthy of being in the entertainment industry.

Su Fang Hongzi was obviously hit in the sore spot by him, and now she is determined to suppress Lin Jiashu at all costs - of course, simply not attending the charity gala is not tenable at all, after all, it is not a crime, so some newspapers started to stir up trouble since yesterday.

Although it is not one-sided, Lin Jiashu's previous excessive fame seems to have been tainted with some stains.

"asshole!!!!"

boom! boom! !

The newspapers of the past two days made Kisaki Eri very angry. She slammed the table several times and her intellectual face even turned red.

"There's no need to be so angry, Aunt Eri."

Lin Jiashu burst out laughing.

However, Kisaki Eri looked at him with some annoyance: "Xiaoshu! Why didn't you tell me such a big thing happened? If Xiaolan hadn't told me, I might still be kept in the dark."

"Because it's not a big deal."

“…”

His expression, as if he didn't care at all, made Kisaki Eri a little angry, but when she realized what he was going through, she couldn't say anything harsh.

Feeling a little out of control, Kisaki Eri quickly calmed down and brushed the hair hanging from her forehead behind her ears.

She had considered this issue when Lin Jiashu said she was planning to become a detective.

But at that time, she was considering the situation that the child failed in reasoning and the media took the opportunity to ridicule him... But the situation is the same now. Media people are like this: they just cater to the market and increase sales, and they do whatever they can to attract attention and increase popularity.

She ignored the fact that it was already time to get off work and called her secretary, Midori Kuriyama:

"Hey, A-Lu... Could you please compile a list of newspapers that have recently published articles defaming Xiaoshu? I'm going to sue them."

"And then there's the information on Hongyan Propaganda Company. Regardless of whether it's some kind of black material or any of their past files, can you leave it in my office tomorrow morning?"

"okay."

"I'll give you a big red envelope later."

She didn't stop calling Kuriyama Midori after she finished calling her and continued to look up many contacts in her address book.

--As the undefeated queen of the legal world, Hibiki Eri has accumulated an extremely wide network of contacts over the years.

Faced with her suddenly becoming busy and not caring about herself, Lin Jiashu opened his eyes slightly and finally just smiled.

He stood up and walked to the balcony.

He received a lot of calls and text messages on his mobile phone today.

Mao Lilan: "Kyoki brother, are you okay?"

Mao Lilan: "Don't worry about what's in the newspaper! Let me tell you, all the girls in our class scoff at what's in the newspaper."

Suzuki Sonoko: "I'm so pissed off!!!!"

Suzuki Sonoko: "Brother Yoshiki, I asked my parents about the charity gala and I'm asking someone to check on them now!"

Suzuki Sonoko: Hmm... Ran also said she would tell Aunt Eri, so you can rest assured.

.彃.

Huiyuan Ai: "So what happened?"

Haibara Ai: “…” The second message came half an hour later.

......

Asano: "Mr. Lin, come on!"

......

Yoko Okino: ">."
