Vol 20 Chapter 263: Deep sorrow

"It is mentioned in the story that the left text must refer to the reasoning and opinions of the novelist who lives in France, so I called to France."

The editor handed the manuscript to Xie Chen and explained to them in detail: "This is the first time the new teacher appeared in this scene. The description of the teacher as a dazed old man is quite interesting."

Xie Chen took the manuscript. He was not interested in the plot of the story. He nodded perfunctorily while flipping the pages of the manuscript quickly.

After turning over a dozen pages in a row, he stopped and said, "This is too strange. Look at it for yourself. The twelve here at twelve o'clock is a Chinese character, but at one o'clock it becomes a number. The new teacher does not As for being so confused."

Xinming Xiangbaoli leaned over with a smile on her face. No matter how subtle the clue she was, she didn't want to let go, and she also secretly admired Xie Chen's meticulous observation.

Kogoro Mouri took the manuscript paper, and after reading it carefully, he murmured, "It's really not right. Could it be that this is a mistake?"

He raised his head and laughed: "I don't think there will be such a thing."

"It's impossible."

The editor quickly said: "In my opinion, I think the teacher changed it to make it easier for us to read. The teacher said that the expression of words is the life of the novelist and cannot be changed at will."

He scratched his head, his tone was very positive.

"Before the serialization, he called us several times to remind us. He also said that if we didn't publish the novel according to his wishes, he would immediately stop the serialization of the novel, and he would definitely not be wrong."

Xie Chen frowned slightly. If it was what he said, it would be even more suspicious. This novel is like hiding some secret.

Thinking of this, he walked to the table, looked at the manuscript placed on the table, and fell into deep thought. The most suspicious thing was actually the autographs of the new teacher.

If you are right, the new teacher may already...

Just then, the fax machine rang.

The editor was pleasantly surprised: "Great, the teacher's manuscript has been passed over."

Kogoro Mori rushed to get it, but was stopped by the editor, "You can't read it now. These are all inference stories. You want to read it. You can buy it after we publish it."

Xie Chen didn't care about this, and grabbed two chapters directly, and just glanced at it, and was taken away by Kogoro Maori.

"What are you doing?" Mouri Kogoro took away the manuscript paper with a serious face, but looked at it himself.

Xie Chen said helplessly: "I think his signature is very strange."

The new name Xiangbaoli stood silently, hearing Xie Chen say this, his eyes revealed expectations.

"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro looked at the manuscript paper just passed in puzzlement.

Xie Chen said sternly: "The signatures of episodes 6 to 8 are exactly the same."

Kogoro Mouri put the manuscript paper on the light, and the signature part really overlapped.

"The signatures from episode 1 to episode 6 are a little different in each episode. Why is that?"

"That's not easy." Kogoro Mouri opened his mouth and said, "Of course the new teacher has shadowed the previous signature."

Xie Chen smiled and continued to ask: "But why does he do this."

Kogoro Mouri said, "I think maybe he doesn't want to sign..." As soon as he said, his pupils contracted a little bit as if thinking of something terrible, and he involuntarily said, "Or maybe he can't sign... "

"Mr. Maori?" He said this, startling the editor.

Xie Chen nodded, took a look at Xinming Xiangbaoli, and said softly: "If you can't sign, it means that the new teacher may be dead now, right."

Although the voice was quiet, everyone present could hear it clearly.

Xinming Xiangbaoli's face suddenly turned pale, and she felt as if she was stepping on a pile of cotton under her feet, as if a hundred thousand gongs and drums were beating in her ears at the same time, rumbling.

Mao Lilan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and quietly comforted her.

Xie Chen walked to the fax machine blankly. Perhaps it is this novel that can save the life of the new teacher. The information that the author wants to convey should be in it.

Aware of the seriousness of the matter, edit the call to the police.

Twenty minutes later, Officer Megome led people to the publishing house. The arrival of the police did not make things easy, but made Shinna Kabori even more desperate.

"You said the police can't conduct a public investigation?" Kogoro Mouri was obviously a little angry at what the police said.

Shinnam Kabouri stood aside, her figure lonely, and deep sadness in her gentle eyes, Mao Lilan stood beside her, comforting her softly.

"Yes." Officer Mumu said in a deep voice, "Judging from the current situation, I am afraid there is no way."

"I said, Officer Megome, have you made a mistake? Now the father of Miss Kabori, the new name of the well-known reasoning writer, Mr. Rentaro, has been missing for two months."

Kogoro Mouri's face flushed in anxiousness, "Besides, his wife also disappeared with him at the time. Now we can only turn the investigation direction to the direction of what cases they are involved in."

"But." Officer Megome said helplessly: "It should be correct that the novel written by the new name Mr. Rentaro will be delivered to this publishing house on time every week."

He walked to the table and looked at the manuscript on the table, "Although it is only a novel, the font and brushwork of this novel have been verified by his daughter and the editorial staff."

"That's right." Kogoro Mouri said, "The problem I'm talking about now lies in the faxed manuscript. Don't you think these signatures are not right?"

"Signature?" Police Officer Megome asked, "have you confirmed that this is Mr. Xinming's autograph?"

Kogoro Mouri said: "But the autographs written by the new teacher next to the title are more or less different from episode 1 to episode 6."

"But the signatures from Episode 6 to Episode 8 are exactly the same. We can obviously know that after using the previous signature to photocopy it, we will draw a gourd and print it next to the title in the same way, so that the fish can be mixed."

"In other words, something must have happened to the new teacher now."

The more Mouri Kogoro spoke down, the more Police Officer Megume felt that he was talking nonsense. After Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, he even yawned. ..
