Okada Yukiko's third mystery novel was recently released. In order to promote her new work, the publishing house prepared a meet-and-greet for her readers. She is very busy these days.
As a former well-known idol, when she first debuted as a mystery novelist, Okada Yukiko was relatively resistant to public appearances. It was not until her two consecutive novels achieved good results and she was recognized as a mystery novelist that she finally mentioned the matter.
Seems ordinary.
However, Okada Yukiko initially refused to hold the meeting, not entirely because she was worried that her past status would overwhelm her.
Although in the opinion of her editor, Okada Yukiko's current calmness comes from her success, Okada Yukiko herself feels that it is because she has finally found the rhythm of moving forward on this new road of life.
In any case, after publishing three novels in a row, she will temporarily stop writing as previously planned and enter a recharging period of collecting materials.
In June, she will be busy promoting her new novel, and in early July, she will go to see Akina Nakamori’s concert in Nagoya. Yukiko Okada plans to leave in mid-July to travel to Europe. Travel has always been a great way for writers of mystery novels to collect materials.
Best way.
June 20th and 21st were Saturdays and Sundays. Yukiko Okada was in Fukuoka to promote her new book. On the morning of the 21st, it was her custom to read the newspaper——
After becoming interested in mystery novels and joining the university's mystery novel club, Okada Yukiko developed the habit of reading newspapers every day, looking for inspiration that she could use from the news published in the newspapers.
She would read the newspaper while having breakfast every morning, which gave Yukiko Okada the feeling that she was already a member of society.
On the 21st, the newspaper published a piece of news that made Okada Yukiko's heart beat faster: Shinichi Iwahashi was attacked by an unknown person, and the window of the car he was riding in was broken.
Her head was buzzing, and she quickly browsed the report. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that "Iwahashi-san himself was not injured." When she came back to her senses, she felt as if she had just sprinted 100 meters.
The child hits his own exhaustion.
Okada Yukiko immediately called Iwahashi Shinichi, and when she heard Iwahashi's brisk tone on the phone, as if nothing had happened, she was finally completely relieved.
Yukiko Okada was puzzled as to why Iwahashi Shinichi was attacked. She couldn't imagine what kind of person would have such hatred for Iwahashi Shinichi. But she was in Fukuoka and confirmed on the phone
After knowing that Iwahashi Shinichi was safe and sound, it was inconvenient to keep him chatting for too long.
Okada Yukiko planned in her mind that when she returned to Tokyo, she would make an appointment with Iwahashi-san and Akina-san to meet. As a result, she returned to Tokyo on Monday. In the evening, she first received a call from Iwahashi-san and Akina-san.
…
Going to meet relatives on both sides and officially reporting that you have been naturalized is a serious matter that requires preparation, but calling a friend to tell them the good news only requires a sudden thought and you can take action immediately.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina planned to make arrangements with their hometown in Shizuoka and Chieko to visit each other. They also planned to pick a day off and invite Hiroyuki Narita and Asako to have dinner with his wife.
After considering the arrangements for the family, before Iwahashi Shinichi mentioned Okada Yukiko, Nakamori Akina mentioned her first.
I remember at the beginning, when Okada Yukiko wanted to introduce the two of them to each other, Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina teamed up to tease her, deliberately not mentioning the things they had already become familiar with. Later, Okada Yukiko discovered that these two
They were already very familiar with each other, and they wanted to use their tricks to trick these two people in turn. Unfortunately, it was difficult for them to fight back with two fists, and they failed to counterattack successfully.
In the blink of an eye, it was already a few years ago.
Now, the two of them have finally achieved success, and they both want to tell Okada Yukiko as soon as possible. On this point, Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina have very similar ideas.
After all, when they first teamed up to tease Okada Yukiko, they hit it off immediately.
Shinichi Iwahashi had just received a call from Okada Yukiko to express his condolences the day before. Knowing that she was returning to Tokyo today, he called her home.
Sure enough, the call was quickly connected, and Okada Yukiko's voice came from the other end.
Okada Yukiko's voice is clear and gentle. Listening to her words, it seems that you can imagine her expression at the moment. Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but smile, "Yukiko."
"Iwahashi-san?" Okada Yukiko on the other end of the phone heard it immediately.
Nakamori Akina was beside her and said with a smile, "And Akina-chan!... Good evening, Yukiko."
Although this sister is now twenty-four years old, probably because they knew her when she was a girl, Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina always unconsciously treat Okada Yukiko as a child.
Perhaps, these two people always regard Okada Yukiko as a child, and she is always full of childishness in front of these two people, which has a lot to do with it.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina gathered in front of the phone and chatted with Okada Yukiko. Okada Yukiko talked about her new book meeting in Fukuoka. Thinking of it, she mentioned: "I am still thinking about calling and
Please agree on a time to meet."
She also mentioned the attack on Shinichi Iwahashi.
This time, it was confirmed that Iwahashi Shinichi was indeed safe and sound, and Okada Yukiko started to complain, "...What a hateful guy!" Is there anyone better than Iwahashi-san? Even such a person
Want to hurt him?
Iwahashi Shinichi had plenty of time to joke, "Yukiko, you write mystery novels. Aren't the motives in the novels all kinds of weird?"
Okada Yukiko said seriously, "But that's in a novel."
Seeing that these two people could start a wonderful topic at any time, Nakamori Akina couldn't help but remind Iwahashi Shinichi to get back to the point. Iwahashi Shinichi held the elbow that Nakamori Akina gently brought to him in his arms, and said with a smile: "Yes.
Already."
"There is one thing that Yukiko must know first."
Nakamori Akina reminded Iwahashi Shinichi for nothing, but in the end, she couldn't help herself and said it first.
Okada Yukiko said "Huh?" "What's the matter?" She thought for a while and blurted out: "Could it be that Akina-san and Iwahashi-san are getting married?"
Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina looked at each other and laughed together. I really don't know whether this is the talent of a mystery novelist or the intuition of a detective, but no matter which one, she hit the target with one hit.
Okada Yukiko seemed to have opened the treasure box with a random key. On the other end of the phone, Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina didn't respond for a while. She was a little confused, "Did I guess right? Or wrong?"
"You guessed it right." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "Today, Akina and I went to apply for naturalization together."
Akinao Nakamori sings about being a wife, "I just thought I should tell Yukiko-chan as soon as possible..."
Just listening to Okada Yukiko's voice, I can imagine her beaming, "Really? Congratulations!"
Shinichi Iwahashi also smiled and said, "Hearing your congratulations makes us particularly happy."
Okada Yukiko sounded very serious, "Whether it's Iwahashi-san or Akina-san, they are all people whom I hope from the bottom of my heart to gain happiness."
These two people were able to date and get married successfully, and Okada Yukiko, a friend, also derived great joy from it. She was very happy and chattered to the two people on the phone about their next marriage arrangements.
"The original plan was to travel to Europe next month after watching Akina-san's concert in Nagoya..." But if they get married next month, Okada Yukiko will temporarily postpone her travel plan.
Later, waiting to attend the wedding.
This was the first time that Akina Nakamori discussed the wedding ceremony with someone: "If I choose to get married in July, I don't know what the weather will be like." For weddings, the most comfortable season is of course autumn.
Okada Yukiko also considered it seriously, "But by then, the rainy season has ended."
However, for a wedding, weather is only one of the factors. But the two people discussing the wedding style at this moment are not so much seriously planning the wedding as a way to share joy.
Okada Yukiko and Nakamori Akina began to discuss the wedding season. Iwahashi Shinichi was unknowingly pushed out of the topic and listened to the two of them chatting.
But as we talked, the topic changed from discussing the wedding to Yukiko Okada’s European travel plans.
Akina Nakamori was full of curiosity, "How many countries does Yukiko-chan plan to visit?" Just now, when Iwahashi Shinichi went off-topic, she reminded him. As a result, she herself went off-topic and went further.
Okada Yukiko was very interested, "First of all, the first stop is Rome, and then Paris..."
A phone call to report their marriage suddenly turned into an exchange of views between two women about their travel destination.
During Okada Yukiko's idol career, there were not many opportunities to fly abroad for work. Compared to Kenyin and Warner's style of traveling all over the world, the combination of SUNMUSIC and Pori Kain was much more conservative.
When she was counting her travel plans in detail, she would ask for Nakamori Akina's opinion from time to time, asking Akina-san if she had ever been there. However, for Nakamori Akina, when she was flying around the world for work, it was left to her to visit.
There isn't much time.
Before hanging up the phone, Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina made an appointment with Okada Yukiko to entertain her at home in a few days.
After putting down the receiver, Akina Nakamori was still immersed in a subtle joy. Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her and said, "You two had a lively chat."
Akina Nakamori looked back with a smile and asked deliberately: "Did I ignore you?"
Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless. He changed the topic, "As for wedding arrangements, our sister Asako is an expert."
"Isn't it rude to say such a thing to Asako-san?" Nakamori Akina laughed at him - not so much at his words as at his clumsy way of changing the subject.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "If I were Asako, saying this to her would definitely be a form of appreciation, not sarcasm."
Akina Nakamori thought for a while, "If you really appreciate it, then it's appreciation." She said something a little convoluted, stuck out her tongue, and said, "The wedding is really troublesome..."
However, she had already decided on the location of her honeymoon in her heart.
Her favorite country is Spain.
Although in these years, Nakamori Akina has traveled to many countries, whether for work or private play. After dating Shinichi Iwahashi, the two of them also traveled together when they had free time.
However, she has never been to the country she loves and yearns for the most.
Just like saving the strawberry on top of a strawberry cake for last, your favorite place is where you go with the person you love the most after you decide to spend the rest of your life together.
…
Only one day later, the storm surrounding Shinichi Iwahashi's attack had faded away from the newspapers and media.
Even "Weekly Bunshun", which is the best at borrowing topics, only mentioned this matter in a routine manner in the preview poster that was hung up on Tuesday. It was just a line of extremely small words. Even if it is based on this, it is said that there is no fear of heaven and earth.
The troublemakers in the industry have stopped talking about this incident.
This incident happened suddenly, but when this page was revealed to the public, it was also very straightforward. And for the public, the news memory of public figures is only three days at most.
Now that the incident of the attack has been published in the media, everyone in the industry will unanimously agree to forget about it. Of course, people who are very familiar with Shinichi Iwahashi, or stakeholders, have just passed away.
, when we meet recently, it is inevitable that they will still say it as a polite word to express condolences.
After completing the naturalization process, Shinichi Iwahashi returned to work and devoted himself to work again.
Compared with him who is so relaxed, Nakamori Akina needs to transfer her household registration to the Iwahashi family and apply for a new seal. After getting the new seal, she also needs to renew her driver's license, update various documents with banks, insurance, etc.
I have to be busy with the contract.
Of course, outside of work, Shinichi Iwahashi has to come forward to complete negotiations with Kenyin and decide on the most important step.
As soon as Nakamori Akina's seal is renewed, the contract with Kenyin will be re-drafted. Iwahashi Shinichi guessed that in the next few days, Kenyin will definitely give an answer.
That is to say, in these few days, the Yakuza organization Jidonghui will probably become history.
Iwahashi Shinichi is staying out of the matter now, just waiting for Fuyada Hideo's call and not caring about the progress of Inakawa's plan. Firstly, he is an ordinary person outside the Yakuza, and it is not his turn to care. Secondly, Inakawa
The bow and arrow in the Holy City's hand have already been shot.
At this point, even Daochuan Shengcheng himself can only watch this plan rush to its final outcome.
Hideo Fuyuta's external identity has been cleared, and he is now a businessman on the public eye. From now on, Shinichi Iwahashi will only interact with him on the public eye as a businessman.
And thinking about the progress of the Inagawa Association, Shinichi Iwahashi thought of another thing.
He also has a Yakuza movie waiting to be produced.
