When he saw Xinde Zhiming, Qin Zhibo's tone paused.
I still remember after the last bus hijacking incident, Kuroba Kaito said that this new Tomoaki is disguised.
It really comes to whatever you want.
Editor Iwata looked at the two sides greeting each other and asked doubtfully: "Does the teacher know these people?"
Conan:Teacher?
Qin Zhibo accepted another disciple? And he is so old.
Just when everyone's misunderstanding was gradually deepening, Qin Zhibo introduced his identity to everyone in the room.
"This is the editor-in-chief of my novel's publishing house, Mr. Iwata."
"These are my friends, Maori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, Edogawa Conan, and Dr. Shinde."
"Hello."
"Hello."
After greeting each other, the people on both sides took their seats on the tatami for the time being.
"Aren't you here to eat? What are you doing here?" Qin Zhibo asked first.
Mao Lilan looked a little embarrassed and explained: "Actually, it's like this."
Under the gushing explanations from Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, Qin Zhibo roughly understood what happened.
Today Mao Lilan, Yuanzi and Conan were wandering on the street, preparing to randomly find an unlucky store, but they happened to encounter a traffic policeman they knew on duty.
This traffic policeman happened to be Miwako Sato's best friend, and told the three of them that Miwako Sato was on vacation today for a blind date.
These words ignited Suzuki Sonoko's spirit of gossip, so she wanted to come and have a look.
When I was making this decision, I just happened to see Shinde Tomoe driving up and driving everyone here to watch the fun.
"In other words, the room next door contains Officer Sato and his blind date?"
Suzuki Sonoko clenched her hands tightly, her head nodding like a woodpecker, "Yes, yes. And we also found out that Officer Sato's blind date is Officer Shiratori~"
Shiratori Rensaburo, since the "Egg of Memories" incident and the merits of Shiriko Kidd have been upgraded, he has become a police officer at the same level as Megure.
In relatively ordinary cases, as long as someone is in charge, the white bird will almost never appear, so Qin Zhibo is not very impressed by the white bird.
"In that case, Mr. Iwata, let them stay here and we can talk about things normally."
Seeing that Qin Zhibo, the protagonist, agreed, Iwata said nothing more and nodded.
"Thanks!"
Several people bowed to Editor Iwata and continued to listen close to the wall.
…
Baihexuan.
"Next door, there seems to be some noise from just now."
"It must be a visitor, right?"
"Who is he?"
"Well~ don't worry about other people, let's talk about your matters first."
Miwako Sato's mother, Shinobu Sato, brought the two juniors' attention back to the blind date with a smile on their faces.
As everyone knows, Miwako Sato just wanted to change the topic.
It would be great if there could be a trick to get me out at this time.
When it comes to blind dates, Miwako Sato's attitude is just perfunctory, asking her mother to be less nagging on her days off.
I just didn't expect that the blind date I randomly picked up was Rensaburo Shiratori, a colleague of the police station.
…
It's not that she's dissatisfied with the conditions of this blind date, but Miwako Sato doesn't want to start a new relationship yet.
Three years is not enough time to forget that man
In order to get away from the blind date, Miwako Sato also asked her best friend Yumi from the Ministry of Communications to find a way to fish her out during the blind date.
Yumi agreed and said she would send her men to fish her out.
Come and save me! Yumi!
Facing Shiratori Rensaburo with a smile on her face, Miwako Sato's toes were so embarrassed that she was digging out of the three rooms and one living room.
…
Bi Bo Xuan.
Several side dishes were served one after another, and the small wine cup was filled with sake.
Editor Iwata tried his best to ignore the few eavesdroppers lying next to him and started talking about serious matters.
"I have finished reading the second part of "At the Mountains of Madness". It is worthy of the teacher's style and is as bold as ever."
"The settings about the Ancient Ones and Shoggoths are very novel and extremely rare in Japan, a country where monster legends are prevalent."
"There is also the final ending, which is different from the good endings of traditional novels. It is innovative and thought-provoking at the same time."
Hearing this, Conan, who was leaning against the wall, twitched his ears.
The ending of "At the Mountains of Madness"? Has Qin Zhibo finished writing it?
What should I do? I don’t care.
"I have a hunch that this novel will become a classic."
Editor-in-chief Iwata was generous with his compliments, which made Qin Zhibo feel a little embarrassed for a while.
"I'm not creating stories, I'm the carrier of stories."
Editor-in-Chief Iwata was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are being too modest. A good story is a good one, and no one can cover up its brilliance."
"But to be honest, this is not the first time that our magazine has encountered your type of story. It uses a travelogue-like approach to develop profound stories that involve folklore and monsters."
"Excuse me, do you know Kinoshita Tomonori?"
As a non-indigenous person, Qin Zhibo shook his head naturally.
On the other hand, Mao Lilan turned around and said, "Um, excuse me, is this Mr. Kinoshita who wrote "African Odyssey"?"
"Oh? This lady also knows Kinoshita?" Editor Iwata turned around and asked.
"Yes, the books he writes can often move people!"
Mao Lilan seemed to admire this writer named Kinoshita, and Editor-in-Chief Iwata also found an entry point for the conversation at the right time.
Siluke.
"Actually, Mr. Kinoshita often contributes articles to our magazine. He is temporarily staying in China recently. Maybe I can arrange for you to meet."
Mao Lilan immediately showed an expression of joy, "Really! That's great!"
"Of course." Editor-in-Chief Iwata turned to Qin Zhibo and said, "In fact, Mr. Qin can also develop a series of stories in the future and serialize them in the magazine for a long time."
"Just like Mr. Kinoshita, he uses local religion and folk customs as the main world view to depict a series of local adventure stories."
"Perhaps the teacher can also use some strangely conceived monsters to create a unique world view."
On the way here, Iwata, as a professional, thought clearly about Qin Zhibo's future writing path.
However, Qin Zhibo only writes novels as a side job, and detective is his main job, which is exactly the opposite of Kudo Yusaku.
But seeing the hope in Mao Lilan's eyes, Qin Zhibo couldn't bear to refuse. After all, Iwata also arranged for Mao Lilan to meet his favorite writer for his own sake.
Moreover, as long as Mao Lilan goes, Conan, the pendant, will definitely go too.
The side quests that are delivered to your door are not free of charge.
"I will consider this matter."
"Then I would like to trouble Mr. Iwata to arrange a meeting with Mr. Kinoshita."
"It's no problem, I'll take care of it." Editor-in-Chief Iwata agreed.
The two of them raised their glasses together and drank it all in one gulp.
At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly called Mao Lilan back.
"Xiaolan, come on, come on. The excitement is about to come~"
