Chapter 330: Public Opinion and Challenge

~6 min read 1,174 words

After many evening papers published it, this news immediately caused a huge uproar in the public opinion circle.

No one expected that Akiwara Yuto would use this method to prove that he didn't hire a ghostwriter or plagiarize.

The reporters were all like they had been injected with chicken blood, various reports added fuel to the fire, and even called this a century-level challenge.

Because before this, there had never been any writer who would create a work under the gaze of the public.

Not to mention that Akiwara Yuto was going to create three works in a row this time, and they were of different types, which made people even more amazed.

For a time, not only did newspapers publish front-page headlines, but even TV news and internet forums had a lot of related news.

And experts from all walks of life gave different evaluations for this behavior.

However, many of them even doubted whether Akiwara Yuto could do this behavior?

After all, no matter how you look at it, it was impossible for someone to be talented to this extent!

But no matter what, Shimochiku Kazuo and Funehiki Kuji, as the questioning and accusing parties, faced the backlash of public opinion.

Many of Akiwara Yuto's supporters believed that it was because of their groundless accusations that Akiwara Yuto had to prove himself in this way.

If Akiwara Yuto didn't lie, then the one who lied was undoubtedly these two.

Under the public's concern, many reporters went to interview Shimochiku Kazuo and Funehiki Kuji.

However, unexpectedly, their interviews were all rejected.

The next day, Akiwara Yuto's creation "live broadcast" had already started.

Tokyo Sanritsu Hotel.

Sago Mayu sat in the auditorium excitedly.

She was a magazine reporter, and the purpose of coming here today was to see Akiwara Yuto write.

And beside her, at this time, it was also packed with people.

To tell the truth, Sago Mayu doubted that this was a deliberate hype.

Because whether it was the accusation against Akiwara Yuto or Akiwara Yuto's response, it was full of very great drama.

Like the accusations of Shimochiku Kazuo and Funehiki Kuji, there was no substantial evidence at all, more like fabrication out of thin air, a bit like catching shadows.

On the contrary, Akiwara Yuto didn't take the accusing party to court like others, but instead wanted to prove himself by writing.

For a time, the three words "conspiracy theory" appeared in her mind.

In her view, if Akiwara Yuto could really do this step, then his works would undoubtedly be able to sell well, and even he might be called a national treasure writer.

After all, a brain that could create three works in a row could also be considered national treasure level.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was 9:00 AM.

As the auditorium door was pushed open, Akiwara Yuto walked into the auditorium under the protection of security guards and sat in the chairman's seat at the very front.

Beside this chairman's seat, there were two cameras recording the whole process. Besides that, there were reporters from several big newspapers.

All these preparations were to prove that this writing was completed independently by Akiwara Yuto without any help from others.

Under Sago Mayu's gaze, after Akiwara Yuto sat down, paper and pen were soon brought to him, and she also started to create.

Seeing his constant writing movements, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

According to the regulations of Tsutaya Bookstore Publishing, the media watching on the spot must remain quiet, otherwise, it might disturb Akiwara Yuto's creative thinking.

If it was too noisy, they might even be disqualified from interviews and supervision.

However, even so, because there were too many people at the scene, some noise was inevitably unavoidable.

But Akiwara Yuto acted as if he didn't hear it, writing furiously.

Seeing his focused appearance, Sago Mayu couldn't help but show an admiring expression on her face.

On the other side, Akiwara Yuto lowered his head and started writing the outline.

His creation this time was to create three works of different types. With so many types of works, it was estimated that the doubts about his different writing styles would soon disappear.

However, to ensure this point, the quality of these three works must be maintained at a certain level.

Otherwise, if it was too bad, there would still be some negative effects.

But thinking from another angle, it was precisely because these three works had such a huge exposure.

Once published, it was estimated that a large number of people would immediately buy them out of curiosity.

Although the detective single-volume market was already saturated, a few more bestselling single-volume books could still further squeeze the market share of the Keihan Society.

And the three works he specifically chose were representative of the social school, the new honkaku school, and the courtroom school, respectively.

For the social school work, he chose Keigo Higashino's "Journey Under the Midnight Sun" between Keigo Higashino and Miyuki Miyabe.

Although the creation time of "Journey Under the Midnight Sun" was earlier than "The Devotion of Suspect X," it was even more outstanding and excellent than "Suspect X" in some places, such as the part about juvenile crime.

So in the domestic market of his past life, the sales of "Journey Under the Midnight Sun" were even higher than "The Devotion of Suspect X."

For the new honkaku school work, he chose Ayatsuji Yukito's "The Clockwork Mansion Murder Case."

Ayatsuji Yukito was known as the leader and flag-bearer of the new honkaku school.

His "The Clockwork Mansion Murder Case" not only won the 45th Nihon Detective Writers Association Award but was also highly praised by many fans of the new honkaku school.

This book was undoubtedly his peak work.

For the courtroom school work, he chose Agatha's "Witness for the Prosecution."

Among Agatha's many works, the most classic were undoubtedly "Murder on the Orient Express" and "And Then There Were None."

But the trick design method in "Murder on the Orient Express," this world actually already had a few of the same type, which was a group of people conspiring to murder another.

And the killing method in the "And Then There Were None" series had great similarities with "The Clockwork Mansion Murder Case," both of which could be called the blizzard villa mode.

So out of various considerations, he still chose "Witness for the Prosecution," this classic work of the courtroom school.

Because Nihon also adopted the trial system, and lawyers had great autonomy in it, so the difficulty of adapting it into a Nihon version was not very great.

After he finished thinking, he continued to write.

To tell the truth, writing under the eyes of everyone was still the first time for him.

However, fortunately, it was because of "moving," so he didn't feel any special difficulty.

Even while writing, he was thinking about a question.

Asano Aiko, had she already started the relevant actions according to the plan at this time? ===== CHAPTER 331 =====
