Chapter 1120： "Appearing" and "Dedicating"

In Suzuki Ichiro's home, after a long time, Eiji Aoyama never heard any more news.

Suzuki Ichiro was a little strange, and said: "I heard from Mr. Aoyama that Li Fan's contribution was written directly in the island language, so there is no need to translate it. Then, Mr. Aoyama should have read the manuscript long ago, why is it so late? Haven't heard any more news?"

Junichi Takano thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe the quality of the manuscript is too poor. Mr. Aoyama feels that there is no need to send you news."

Suzuki Ichiro shook his head and said, "No, the quality of Li Fan's manuscript can't be too bad. Could it be that what happened? No, I have to call and ask, otherwise, I always feel uneasy in my heart."

Jun Takano nodded and said, "That's fine too."

Suzuki Ichiro took out the phone, dialed Aoyama Eiji's cell phone, and it was quickly connected.

Before long, Suzuki Ichiro put down the phone, frowning slightly.

Junichi Takano asked, "Brother Suzuki, what's wrong? Why is this expression like this? What did Mr. Aoyama say?"

Suzuki Ichiro said: "Mr. Aoyama's tone seems very disappointed. He didn't say how the quality of Li Fan's work is. He just said that we should not invite Li Fan to participate this time. What does Mr. Aoyama mean? Could it be that of Li Fan? The work is outstanding? Better than my work?"

Suddenly, Ichiro Suzuki felt a certain kind of anxiety, and he also began to feel a little irritable.

After hearing this, Jun Koye jumped in his heart and said: "This is impossible, then Li Fan's work may be really good. But even if it is good, it is impossible to surpass your work. Isn't it, Mr. Aoyama hasn't Have you seen your work?"

Suzuki Ichiro said, "No, he has already seen it. Not only my works, but also the works of Kenta Yamano have been seen."

Koye Junichi frowned and said, "What does Mr. Aoyama mean? Li Fan's works are really better than yours? This is absolutely impossible."

Suzuki Ichiro said: "I don't know, I only know after seeing Li Fan's work on the 2nd."

Junichi Takano nodded slowly, and he suddenly had a not-so-good prediction.

...

At this time, the circle of mystery writers in the island country also happened to be talking about Li Fan's participation.

"The deadline for submission is almost here. I haven't heard about Li Fan's submission. It seems that I really don't plan to submit it."

"The expected thing is me and I won't vote. Who will do it if I'm not sure about it?"

"It is obviously a wise choice not to participate in the competition. Otherwise, it would be a very shameful thing to lose to Chinese writers with his reputation in my country."

"It doesn't matter to us whether Li Fan participates in the competition. However, some people are expected to be very disappointed. For example, some members of the organizing committee, or Mr. Ichiro Suzuki."

"It is rumored that Mr. Suzuki once competed with Li Fan on stage when he went to China and ended up losing. It is estimated that Mr. Suzuki hopes very much to use this opportunity to defeat Li Fan. Of course, it is only our people. As far as my favorite mystery is concerned, Mr. Suzuki does have the strength to defeat Li Fan."

"Huh? Li Fan seems to have already contributed?"

"Submitted? Really? How did you know?"

"It should be true. I have a friend who works as an editor at Evergreen Publishing House. Although he is not the review editor for this competition, he can see the contributions of the authors."

"That said, is it true? I'll go, unexpectedly. Then Li Fan is not afraid of losing to Mr. Suzuki?"

"Perhaps he thinks he is better than Mr. Suzuki. You know, he should be a very confident person."

"It has nothing to do with us. However, Mr. Suzuki should be very happy now. Well, the organizing committee members should also be very happy."

"You said, is it possible for Li Fan to beat Mr. Suzuki?"

"It's almost impossible. We don't know the strength of Mr. Suzuki. I am afraid that the entries this time are even at the peak level. However, since Li Fan has submitted the paper, I am still very interested to take a look at it and wait until next. The 2nd of the month will do."

"Don't worry, Li Fan may be stronger than us, but he is definitely not better than Mr. Suzuki."

"..."

...

The writers of detective novels talked a lot, and the fans of detective novels also talked about it.

"I don't know if Li Fan from China has contributed any articles? The organizing committee doesn't issue a notice or explain it. It's true."

"I guess he won't vote because he knows that Mr. Suzuki can't beat our country."

"Actually, I still hope he will contribute. I don't want him to lose to Mr. Suzuki. I'm just curious. What kind of work will he write?"

"Cut! What kind of works can he write? It's not about Bao Qingtian and Song Ci in ancient China. Maybe the Chinese like it very much, but I don't even have any interest in seeing it."

"Indeed, I am also not interested in his work, so whether he participates in the competition? It doesn't really matter."

"The answer will be known on the 2nd of next month. It has been two days. Just wait."

"..."

...

Three Holy Village.

Li Fan took two printed copies of "Suspect X's Devotion" and came to Yuan Lai in front.

Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng looked at what Li Fan was holding and their eyes lit up at the same time. Zheng Jie asked, "The manuscript of "The Appearance of Suspect X"?"

Li Fan nodded, and handed the two manuscripts to them separately, and said, "It's specially printed out."

Zheng Jie took the manuscript, but did not go to read it immediately. Instead, she smiled and asked, "Which Evergreen Publishing House has been sent to the island country?"

Li Fan nodded and said: "It's been sent. Okay, you two take a look at it slowly, I'm leaving."

After speaking, Li Fan smiled, turned and left.

This time he originally sent the manuscript specially.

Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng both laughed and cursed at the same time, "This kid." Then they both shook their heads and fixed their eyes on the manuscript in their respective hands.

"Devotion of Suspect X, devotion? It turned out to be this'dedication'." The two suddenly said at the same time, with some doubts in their hearts.

They had heard Li Fan say the title of the book before, and they thought it was called "The Appearance of Suspect X". After seeing the title of the book today, they realized that it was "dedicated" instead of "appearing."

Although the pronunciation of these two characters is the same, the meanings are very different.

According to the normal understanding of mystery novels, it is obvious that it should be "showing up", but it is "dedicated."

The two old people were puzzled, and at the same time very curious, why would they be "consecrated"?

After reading this work, you will obviously know the answer, and the two old men began to read.
