Chapter 144 Life is not easy, Ai Jiang sighs

"Can you take me with you?"

At this time, Hui Yuan Ai suddenly said on the bed.

She looked like a little girl.

"ha?"

Fujino was surprised.

Immediately he looked at Hui Yuan Ai and couldn't help but be stunned.

"I also want to see how the detective handles the case!"

Continue to look like a little girl.

Fujino: “…………”

Fujino looked at Haihara Ai's expectant expression, and his eyebrows suddenly twitched.

What the hell is she doing?

His mind was racing.

"is it not OK?"

At this time, Fujino didn't respond for a long time.

Haihara Ai continued to look like a little girl.

Also added a pair of expectant little eyes.

"…………"

Being stared at by the little girl made my scalp tingle.

Fujino took a deep breath, paused, and then said: "It's okay, that's okay. You just woke up now, you must be very weak, right?"

"No problem at all!"

Hui Yuan Ai stood up from the bed.

"If that's the case...then you should come with me...it's nothing anyway..."

Although Fujino had seen a collection of Haihara Ai's disguised coquetry.

But the actual experience...

He ignored his sister, but was shocked.

If Fujino didn't know that she was an 18-year-old otaku who had taken medicine to become smaller, he would really have thought that the little girl in front of him was really a little lolita who was less than ten years old.

All I can say is that the Miyano family is indeed an actor.

It would be a pity not to go to the Oscars for this kind of acting.

After getting Fujino's answer, Haihara Ai ran to the toilet to change clothes.

In the toilet.

Haiyuan Ai looked at the slightly cold face in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of performance is really tiring..."

Her actions just now were all for the purpose of staying in the Fujino family.

To be honest, she didn't understand why she did this and wanted to stay here.

Maybe it's because of Fujino, maybe it's because of Fujino Akemi...

Well, the main reason is Fujino Akemi.

Fujino Akemi is so much like her sister.

That kind of meticulous care reminded her of the past more than once.

She cherishes this feeling, even though it is just a false illusion, but she still wants this illusion to last forever.

If you want to stay here, it's obvious that you can't avoid Fujino.

Although Fujino is a good person, he is very concerned about interests...

If she can show some value, the probability of her staying will definitely increase greatly.

Perhaps, she could help by following him.

Life is not easy, Ai Jiang sighed.

…………

Soon, Fujino drove to Detective Zuomonji's publishing and editing office with Miyano Akemi, Haibara Ai, Shinna Kahori and others.

As for Miyano Akemi, she will also follow.

It can only be said that she thinks that the child Huihara Ai needs someone to take care of her.

Avoid disturbing Fujino's work.

This reason is somewhat familiar.

The Ford Taurus came to a slow stop.

Fujino opened the car door and saw a tall building with a few lights on.

At the top of the building, there is also a luminous 'University Hall' sign.

"University Hall?"

Looking at the sign on the roof, Fujino murmured.

This university library is not a university library or a university building.

It is a well-known publishing house in the world of Kexue.

If Fujino remembers correctly, when I was watching anime in my previous life, I would often see the name ‘Shogakukan’ at the beginning of novels.

At first he thought it was some kind of elementary school, but it was actually an editorial office in Neon.

This university hall should correspond to the elementary school hall.

"Yes, this is the publishing house where my father's Detective Zuo Wenwen was published."

Shinna Kahori heard Fujino's whisper and responded.

"Without further ado, let's go in."

Fujino nodded, and then entered the University Hall Publishing House with the three girls.

…………

In the elevator, Fujino looked at the two beautiful girls and a little loli around him, feeling a little strange.

Why do you feel like you are traveling as a family?

While thinking, he suddenly recalled the classic trio.

Having said that, he can be considered a trio, right?

The classic trio is childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, her father, and an estranged elementary school student.

On his side are Hun Lotus, who was tricked into becoming his sister, and Hun Lotus's sister...

Conan: It's over, I'm a stand-in.

At this time, Hui Yuan Ai, who was standing at the front, suddenly turned his head.

She seemed to notice Fujino's gaze.

There was a puzzled expression on his cold face, and he tilted his head.

Fujino coughed lightly, then quickly looked away, and then turned his eyes to the flashing elevator operation instructions.

…

Soon, the elevator reached the fifth floor. Here was the studio where the editor-in-chief of "Detective Zuomonji" written by the new name Rentaro was working.

In this era, newspaper editorial offices are hardest hit by overtime and late nights.

So even though it was past seven o'clock in the evening, the office was still brightly lit.

Various people in professional suits are actively working in the office, obviously working overtime.

Under the leadership of Niina Kahori, Fujino came to a fat middle-aged man.

"May I ask you are……"

The man looked at Fujino, who had arrived with Shinname Kahori, and felt something familiar, so he asked curiously.

"My name is Fujino, I'm a detective."

Fujino stretched out his hand and shook the man's hand politely.

"Fujino?"

The man held hands and thought for a moment before saying in surprise: "Are you the high school detective Fujino?!"

"That's right, I'm here this time... Miss Shinname, can you tell me the content of the commission?"

Fujino paused as he spoke and turned his gaze to Kaho Ri.

Shinname Kahoori nodded understandingly.

After getting the consent of Niina Kahori, Fujino continued: "I accepted Miss Niina's investigation into the disappearance of her father, and I have some questions I want to ask you."

"It turns out it's a request from Mr. Shinname..."

The man glanced at Niina Kahori, then at Fujino, "In that case, if you have any questions that I need to answer, feel free to ask them."

"Does Mr. Rentaro, the new name, send manuscripts to your editorial office every week?"

"Yes, Mr. Shinname's manuscripts are delivered on time every week."

The man raised his wrist and glanced at the time, "Tonight is the date to deliver the manuscript on time. I think the manuscript will be sent after a while."

"Can you show me those manuscripts?"

"That's not a problem..."

As he spoke, the man walked aside, found a few stacks of manuscripts held together with paper clips, and handed them to Fujino.

Fujino took the manuscript and glanced at it. After a long silence, he asked Niina Kahori: "Are you sure these signatures belong to your father?"

Fujino was referring to the signature on the cover of the original manuscript, under the title on the far right.

In Neon, generally speaking, the author's signature will be left on the original manuscript.

"Yes, these are my father's signatures."

Niina Kahoori nodded, "I had already confirmed it when I came here last time."

"Miss Kahori, you don't have to worry too much."

The man showed an honest smile, "Let me tell you, Mr. Shinname must have been too selfless because of his writing, so he just forgot to contact you."

"I don't think so."

At this time, Fujino suddenly held up the manuscript and said, "Didn't you notice that the signatures in the sixth and seventh chapters are almost the same?"

"The sixth and seventh chapters..."

Niina Kahori took the manuscript and took a closer look, "It seems like this. The two signatures are exactly the same."

"But what can be wrong with this?"

The honest man looked puzzled: "Maybe it's just a coincidence."

"It can't be a coincidence."

Fujino's voice was deep: "Everyone's signature note is almost unique, not to mention this kind of continuous literary signature. Although it may be contacted many times and the signature will become exactly the same, this is the brush... the tip of the brush, It’s impossible to do it exactly the same twice.”

"The exact same signature is obviously printed. If it is to save trouble, it would be fine to use the same signature from the first episode. Then why does it only start printing from the sixth episode?"

"Is it because..."

Niina Xiangbo showed worry, "After the sixth chapter, my father can no longer sign autographs?!"

"That's how it should be."

Fujino nodded.

On the side, Hui Yuan Ai was watching this scene with some doubts in his eyes.

If she remembered correctly, it shouldn't have been ten minutes since they walked in and got the manuscript.

In just ten minutes, Fujino discovered something unusual.

It’s as if I already knew there was something wrong with the original manuscript…

How did he do it...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling that things were not simple.

"are you sleepy?"

Miyano Akemi noticed Haihara Ai's squinting eyes, "If you're sleepy, I can take you back first... It looks like this case should take a long time to deal with."

"No."

Hui Yuan Ai shook his head, "I think this kind of work is very interesting."

"Is that so?"

Miyano Akemi smiled and said, "It seems that you also have the talent to become a detective in the future."

"Detective?"

Hui Yuan Ai lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"In that case, my father..."

At this time, there was a cry from the side.

Shinname Kahoori's eyes gradually turned red and tears gradually appeared.

"Before the matter is investigated clearly, it is useless to be sad..."

Fujino comforted Niina Kahori, and then asked the man: "Is there anything unusual about Mr. Niina recently? Your editorial office should have a conversation with the author when opening a book, right?"

"Yes, our editorial office did meet Mr. Shinname several times before we started the book."

At this time, after learning that this matter was not that simple, the honest man also showed a serious expression: "If it is abnormal, it may be the matter of Detective Zuo Wenzi's re-serialization...

After all, we asked Mr. Xinming to re-serialize it four years ago, but the answer we got was that Detective Zuo Wenzi was dead... It is impossible for people to come back from the dead. "

"Originally we were planning to give up this series, but two months ago, Mr. Shinname called again and said that he wanted to restart the Zuojimo series...

After getting the news, we immediately stopped a novel that was being serialized to make room for the typesetting of Detective Zuo's text. "
