Chapter 655 4552-pole reversal
Eriri is troubled by her concern for Hojo Kyosuke. This idiot has made so much progress, but when it comes to things related to Hojo Kyosuke, he immediately turns into a childish state.
Although she often competes with Momotaro for the highest IQ in Ruyi-ryo, no one can deny the girl's intelligence. Wearing a well-received mask for ten years, it is absolutely superhuman to be able to do such a thing. So Eriri easily judged how much impact Tsuruta Masahiro was doing now. The other party's words completely put Kyousuke on the opposite side of the mystery novel world and completely portrayed Kyousuke as a big villain.
The girl hugged the warm little girl tightly in her arms, but the cute little angel could not give her any comfort at all. Now she just wanted to run to Kyosuke with her skirt lifted up and step on the round tables, grab his hand and tell him that he could tell her whatever he needed because they were accomplices.
Yukinoshita Yukino, who was standing next to her, sighed silently as she looked at Eriri's anxious look. She realized that her mood was a bit complicated. But she couldn't tell whether she envied Eriri's clear and pure innocence of crying and laughing as she wanted, or envied Eriri's simple love that could be seen at a glance.
"You are envious of others for having someone to worry about, Yukino-chan."
The teasing words came into my ears, like the whispers of a devil.
Yukinoshita didn't even turn her head, but just moved her lips slightly, wanting to say something to Eriri, but before she could speak, she heard Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was sitting opposite her, say:
"Do you think Kyousuke is a good person?"
"Of course!"
Eriri didn't think about it at all and subconsciously retorted:
"You must be kidding, of course my chores are good people!"
Yes, not only is he a good guy, he’s also a superhero, your cat food knight, right?
Over there, Glass covered her mouth with her little hands and laughed.
"Only a fool like you would think so."
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled helplessly, and in her smile there seemed to be a hint of pampering. For Eriri, even if she saw Kyosuke chopping down dozens of people with a bamboo sword, she would probably only interpret it as Kyosuke being chivalrous, and even sternly reprimand those who were beaten for not kneeling on the ground and washing their necks.
Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka suddenly froze, because she thought of what happened at Carbonic Acid Company before. At that time, the idiot Eriri thought that Kyosuke had killed that person, and then this guy's first reaction was to kill Akane Akasaka to silence her, and resolutely decided to become an accomplice.
While thinking, she subconsciously turned her head and began to look, and as expected, she saw Akane Ayaka at the table behind her on the right. The woman's aura was really amazing, and she stood out in the crowd. She was now sitting at the same table with several of Kyosuke's editors.
At this time, noticing the gaze of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Akane Arisaka raised her glass to greet her, and also looked at Eriri with a funny expression.
Miss Witch probably guessed what the other party meant. This was to mock Eriri for being a crybaby. Kasumigaoka agreed with this. Eriri usually pretended to be a tsundere, but her emotions were so easy to understand. If she was really a tsundere, she should have kept her love for Kyousuke in her heart until she died! It was not like this now. Even a blind person could see her concern for Kyousuke.
What a scheming girl!
But then again, look at Akane Hongsaka over there, she is Kyosuke's partner, but now she doesn't seem to be worried at all. That's because Akane Hongsaka, who was once severely defeated by Kyosuke, knows that when it comes to doing evil, Kyosuke is definitely not inferior to anyone.
Looking at Nozomi over there, she also has no worries. Only the fool Eriri would naively think that Kyosuke is a good person.
In order to prevent this idiot from ruining Kyosuke's plan on impulse, Kasumigaoka thought for a moment and then spoke:
"What Tsuruta Masatake said makes a lot of sense. Those big names in the literary world are probably almost convinced by him..."
"Then what are you waiting for? Kill him quickly!" Ying Lili did not hesitate. Jia Shizi in her arms also raised his little fist and shouted.
"But! No matter how reasonable his words are, no matter how beautiful his trick is, it's useless!" Kasumigaoka was not moved at all.
"why?"
"Because Kyousuke is not a person who likes to reason at all."
The black-haired girl finished speaking, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She no longer paid attention to Eriri, but turned around and looked towards the podium, looking at Hojo Kyousuke, her wine-red eyes sparkling with beautiful light.
Yes, Hojo has never been a good person, Yukinoshita nodded in agreement. She also had a hunch that Hojo must have been prepared, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of how he would respond.
If it were me...
The girl thought to herself. For many reasons, she had read all of Hojo Kyosuke's works more than twice, including two detective novels four times. If she were in Hojo Kyosuke's situation at this moment, she felt that she should refute from a professional perspective. Because the tricks in "The Devotion of Suspect X" are also very exciting, and the reflection on social phenomena has a strong shadow of Matsumoto Seicho. As long as she starts from this perspective, she is very sure to refute Tsuruta Masao's words and reverse the situation.
Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino hesitated for a moment, and whispered her thoughts to the people on her left and right. Well, the two guardians on the left and right of the girl were the absolute fun people at the table, Yamauchi Sakura and Yukinoshita Haruno. These two people were the only ones at the table who could enjoy the treatment of Yukinoshita confiding her innermost feelings. In fact, Kato Megumi, who had initially received Yukinoshita's evaluation of "being very good at buying gifts" when they went shopping together last time, was also one of them, but Yukinoshita couldn't find her for a while.
After hearing what Yukino said, Yingliang and Yangno looked at each other with confused expressions. Then they laughed evilly.
"Xukino, how come you think Kyosuke is a good person?" Sakura asked with a smile.
"The only one who would do something like you is the Man of Justice~" Yang Noya said with a wicked smile.
Yukinoshita Yukino's face darkened, her little mouth pursed, her little face puffed up, and she stopped talking in a huff.
I was really blinded by the cat, why would I try to discuss this with these two people?
While everyone was discussing, Tsuruta Masao's team in front of them came up with a new trick. Kamiki Hikaru, who had been following everyone to get a seat, stood up and began to denounce Hojo Kyosuke for raising online trolls to hype up the Internet, which had caused great harm to the Internet environment. He himself was the biggest victim and then found a screenshot of him being attacked for trying to gain popularity.
There was another commotion on the field, because Shenmu Guang was indeed scolded badly at that time.
After Kamiki Hikaru, Tsuruta Masahiro gave Matsumoto Motohiro a look, indicating that it was his turn to come on stage. However, at this moment, the critic who first stood up and sang against Hojo Kyosuke was a little nervous. As a writer for Sankei Shimbun, his judgment of the current situation must be the top priority, regardless of other abilities.
At the moment, his group was advancing at a high speed, but such a smooth progress made Matsumoto Motohiro feel scared, especially when he looked at Hojo Kyosuke over there and found that the other party had not even changed his sitting position from beginning to end, as if he completely ignored them. Looking back, the commentator of the Asahi Shimbun, Futami Jiraiya, was looking at him viciously, as if he would rush over and bite him if he dared to stand up.
After hesitating for a long time, Matsumoto Motohiro pretended not to see Tsuruta Masashi's eyes and sat in silence.
Tsuruta Masao frowned, but unfortunately his triangular eyebrows did not change at all. The old man opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden voice.
The person who spoke was Kenzo Chino. He had run to Hojo Kyosuke before, but he had returned to the podium at some point. The anger on his face was completely gone, and instead he was smiling brightly.
Hojo is indeed a "handless devil". He is so cruel. No matter how sharp your knife is or how powerful your sword moves are, I will only cut off your hands!
Yes, just like Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sakura thought, Hojo Kyosuke was not a good person at all. He had no intention of refuting Tsuruta Masao's words, because the old man was right. This was also the reason why people around him, including Oosaka Tsuyoshi and Chino Kenzo, thought it would be difficult for him to win the award. Even his own people couldn't find a reason to convince themselves to give him the award, let alone convince others?
But does Hojo Kyosuke need to refute Tsuruta Masao? No, he doesn't need to!
He doesn't need to prove that what Tsuruta Masao said is wrong, he only needs to prove that Tsuruta Masao is wrong. Can a wrong person say the right thing? Obviously not. If a wrong person can say the right thing, doesn't that prove that the right person can also say the wrong thing?
None of the dignitaries in the audience would agree with this logic!
That’s the beauty of debate, if it’s the right debate, it’s never wrong.
Hojo Kyosuke stood up with a faint smile on his face, and glanced at Kisaki, who was standing in the left corner of the venue. The latter immediately waved his hand. Immediately, subordinates wearing neat suits such as Onitsuka Eikichi, Hata Goro, and Mihashi Ryoma came forward from various places.
These people were carrying a black briefcase in their hands, and walked to the bottom of the podium, and opened the box in unison. It was no secret that Hojo Kyosuke was a gang leader, and there were many people who used this to make fun of him in private. Now some people thought that Hojo was angry and got scared. But when the box was opened, it turned out that there was no weapon inside.
Hata Goro walked to the table where Masashi Tsuruta and the others were sitting. He first lowered his head and handed out a stack of information to everyone, then grinned at them. His cold gaze swept across everyone's face and finally stopped on Nishizawa Osamu's face. They were all frightened by the young man's unscrupulous gaze.
This is?
Tsuruta Masao lowered his head and saw a yellowed newspaper and a book in his hands. The name of the newspaper was unfamiliar, it was a Tokyo city news newspaper, but the time written on it was more than ten years ago. The book was very familiar, it was a novel he published three years ago.
What is that kid Hojo doing with these? The old man looked around and found that the big men from both factions in front of the podium had the same thing in their hands.
Is this a surrender to me? Is he saying that he learned to write novels from me?
Before the people in the audience could figure out the purpose of the two documents, Kenzo Chikano on the stage spoke again. He first apologized to those who did not get the documents and said that those who came later did not need to worry if they did not receive them. It happened that our teacher Tsuruta had already enthusiastically borrowed a projector.
“…I’m so sad!”
Kenzo Chino nodded sharply and said with a sad expression, although he wanted to laugh in his heart.
"Please look up and watch the PPT!"
The people who had been waiting eagerly for a long time finally knew what the information distributed by the men in suits was. Of course, Xisaki had already delivered it to Eriri's table, as well as to Hojo Kyosuke's parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law. He would not miss such details.
The first thing projected was the newspaper, a small story column that contained a short story. It wasn't long and it would only take a few minutes for everyone present to finish reading it. Hojo Kyosuke and his team were very thoughtful and even placed the English version next to it to cater to foreign friends.
It was a short mystery novel, and due to the limited length it was hard to tell how good it was, but at least it gave the general idea of the story, as well as the cases and tricks involved.
A reporter in the audience asked directly why he suddenly took out a newspaper from more than ten years ago and asked what the significance of this story was?
"The significance of this newspaper is that the author of this short story is none other than Mr. Osamu Nishizawa who is in the audience."
Kenzo Chikano had a sad expression on his face. Everyone followed his gaze and saw that Nishizawa Yang, who was so high-spirited just now, had now almost shrunk his head between his legs.
Masashi Tsuruta was not much better; the old man's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The author of the novel in the newspaper used a pen name, but Hojo Kyosuke thoughtfully found the remittance slip and another work published by Nishizawa Osamu using the same pen name.
Without waiting for the reporter to continue asking questions, Kenzo Chino directly started the next stage:
"Teacher Nishizawa is worthy of being the winner of the Mystery Association Award. He has such great talent when he was a student! But I have a question."
"Shut up! Stop talking!"
Masao Tsuruta shouted angrily from the audience.
"I have a question!"
Kenzo Chino ignored him and raised his voice:
"Why is it that the novel published by Mr. Nishizawa in the newspaper more than ten years ago, both in terms of plot and tricks, is exactly the same as the novel published by Mr. Tsuruta Masao three years ago?!"
It's exactly the same!
wow——
As soon as Kenzo Chikano finished speaking, there was a loud roar from the audience.
Everyone who received the free information distributed by Xisaki lowered their heads and began to flip through the novels in their hands, and the projection screen on the stage turned into the introduction of Tsuruta Masashi's novel.
There is no need to read the content, even a blind person can tell that the introduction of the novel is an exact abbreviation of the short story written by Nishizawa Osamu more than ten years ago!
Plagiarism! Complete plagiarism, no dispute, 100% plagiarism!
The most unforgivable crime in the literary world!
In a double reversal, Masashi Tsuruta and Osamu Nishizawa, who had just stood at the highest moral point and condemned Hojo Kyosuke on behalf of the mystery literature world, fell into the abyss in an instant.
Behind them, Eriri and Yukinoshita Yukino opened their mouths wide, looking at the newspapers and novels in their hands. They were so surprised that they couldn't speak.
This...Hojo...this guy is really not a good person, Yukinoshita blinked.
"Wakakaka, you are worthy of being my chore!"
After being stunned for a while, Ying Lili let out a wild laugh and took the initiative to ask Jia Shizi for a candy, saying that when you are happy, you need to add some sweetness!
On the other side, Prince Jia picked up a goblet on the table and scolded:
"No, Eriri, my brother said that we should drink Coke when we are happy!"
The reporters squatting in the front row all opened their mouths wide, their eyes filled with excitement.
Big news is coming!
Wow! Today was really worth it!
The flash lights kept clicking, illuminating Tsuruta Masashi's dark face into a white glow.
On the stage, Kenzo Chino was all smiles, full of joy. He glanced at Hojo Kyosuke and saw that he was still smiling as if everything was under control, with a romantic and unrestrained demeanor, handsome beyond human standards.
You deserve to die, you let me come up to attract fire while you sit back and reap the benefits!
Although it was great to be in the limelight, Kenzo Chikano was still indignant. Originally, the protagonist should have been Hojo Kyosuke, but that guy pushed everything to him, saying, "Tsuruta Masashi and Nishizawa Osamu are both my seniors, and it would be disrespectful for me to do this."
Kenzo Chikano saw clearly what respect meant. It was obvious that Hojo Kyosuke was afraid of leaving an arrogant image in the eyes of the literary seniors attending the meeting, so he hid behind the scenes.
This old Yinbi!
Although he cursed in his heart, it did not prevent Kenzo Chino from saying with a smile on his face:
"I don't know whether Mr. Nishizawa took a time machine and came more than ten years later to plagiarize the work of his mentor Mr. Tsuruta Masao, or whether Mr. Tsuruta Masao had already been guiding Mr. Nishizawa to write the work more than ten years ago and it was plagiarized."
As soon as these words came out, the shocked guests burst into laughter. However, Tsuruta Masatake was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He immediately lowered his head and whispered to Nishizawa Yang:
"Hurry up and admit that I have been mentoring you since you were in high school, and that you completely plagiarized that novel from me."
After finishing speaking, the old man with triangular eyebrows could not help but said angrily, looking at his good disciple who was still keeping his head down and keeping silent:
"You don't think I ruined the matter, do you? It's best for you to admit it now. You should understand that!"
If the student plagiarized the teacher, there would be many excuses, and the teacher could even come out to forgive him, and the dispute could be resolved with a little more effort. But once it is proven that the teacher has encroached on the student's academic achievements, or in other words, directly usurped the student's work, and if such a thing is exposed, neither the teacher nor the student will be in good condition!
Hearing this, Xi Zeyang lowered his head even more. How could he not understand this truth!
but……
He quietly turned his head and looked to the right, just in time to see the handsome Hojo Kyosuke and his pair of dark eyes that seemed to be smiling.
Xi Zeyang felt his heart suddenly tighten, as if someone was holding it tightly in their hand.
Yes, Hojo Kyosuke knew that he had been waiting for him to jump out from the beginning. He wanted to step on him to climb higher, and he also wanted to step on him and eat him as a snack and turn him into nutrients...
This guy, is he really a high school student?
He was proud before, even if he was talented, how could a high school student compete with him. Now he was afraid, why did he fall into the trap of that high school student every step of the way. (End of this chapter)
