Chapter 332: A Blow to Confidence
"Hello everyone, this is Fuji Evening News, and now I will report to you the latest situation of Teacher Akiwara Yuto's on-site creation."
On the lit-up TV screen was a beautiful female reporter holding a microphone.
Behind her was an auditorium full of people, and you could see a black mass of people.
"... Currently, it is the sixth day of Teacher Akiwara Yuto's creation, and after he completed the work "Witness for the Prosecution," he also completed a novel called "The Clockwork Mansion Murder Case" three days ago."
"According to the method of Kawai Shinta, the Vice Chairman of the Detective Writers Association who was invited, these two works are courtroom school and new honkaku school works respectively, and have an extremely high literary level..."
The female reporter paused here and added, "According to Teacher Akiwara's method during his rest, he will complete the creation of the last one tomorrow."
Kyoto, Toyama Miho sat in her home, looking at the news on the screen, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
After the ghostwriting time incident was exposed, she was once worried for her teacher, and even posted online to refute the "Anti-Akiwara Faction."
But didn't expect that all this would reverse so quickly.
Teacher Akiwara actually used this method to prove himself; it was simply too incredible!
Seeing this, she was already completely convinced, and even a bit ashamed.
How could she have thought that she could surpass him?!
While Toyama Miho was ashamed, the interior of the Detective Writers Association also caused a huge uproar.
Just now, Kawai Shinta invited writers of the courtroom school and the new honkaku school to the large conference room and handed copies of Akiwara Yuto's two works to them.
These writers, after spending a whole afternoon reading the two works "Witness for the Prosecution" and "The Clockwork Mansion Murder Case," there was no writer who didn't express admiration.
Akiwara Yuto's "Witness for the Prosecution" was an adaptation he made based on Agatha's original work.
The content was also very simple: a big lawyer in Tokyo was requested by a man to help fight a lawsuit—this man was accused of murdering a rich woman, and the prosecution believed that the two had a lover relationship.
And according to the will left by the rich woman, all her huge assets would be handed over to the man.
The lawyer accepted the request after thinking about it, and started asking if the man had an alibi.
The man said his wife could prove he wasn't at the scene. The lawyer was a bit helpless; after all, his wife, as a family member, had low testimony validity and might be hard to be believed by the jury.
However, out of helplessness, he still chose to let his wife attend the court and make a defense.
But didn't expect that his wife actually said she wasn't his "legal wife," the two were bigamous... and even in the later court, she made testimony unfavorable to the man.
In order to win the trial, the lawyer had to start collecting all evidence and won the trial.
However, the man's wife laughed, because all this was acted out by her.
She accused the man of murder by acting as a prosecution witness and deliberately left clues for the lawyer to expose.
After exposing her identity as a liar, the jury would naturally not believe her lies, thus making a judgment favorable to the man.
After reading the work, the people of the courtroom school were very surprised; this work was somewhat similar to Akiwara Yuto's previous "The Invisible Guest," but it was more exquisite in the application of law.
Through lies and fraud, it achieved a very clever reversal effect.
And the ending where the wife killed the man because he found other lovers was also very dramatic.
Such a work was actually written by Akiwara Yuto in just 2 or 3 days!
While the courtroom school writers felt admiration for "Witness for the Prosecution," the new honkaku school writers also expressed the same feeling for "The Clockwork Mansion Murder Case."
In a mysterious building called the Clockwork Mansion, one resident after another died constantly.
And through clever time tricks and secret doors, the "murderer" successfully deceived everyone and escaped accusations time and time again.
At the same time, in order to prove the rationality of the trick, Akiwara Yuto also drew a map of this building in the book, marking the location of all rooms.
Seeing this, some new honkaku school writers wished they could dig out Akiwara Yuto's brain to see how it grew.
This kind of work, an ordinary detective writer might not be able to write one in a lifetime, but Akiwara Yuto wrote it so easily.
What made everyone on the scene have to sigh even more was that such two classic works were born in the world in such a "childish" way.
And the other party still had to complete the last one in the remaining 2 days.
For a time, everyone had a sense of frustration.
Just like something they couldn't do after working hard, someone could do it so easily.
Seeing all the silent writers, Kawai Shinta couldn't help but show a wry smile.
To tell the truth, he didn't want to bring these two works to them, just afraid of hitting their confidence.
But as the Vice Chairman of the Detective Writers Association, and attending Akiwara Yuto's "on-site creation," he already represented the Detective Writers Association to a certain extent.
So at the request of other association members, he had to bring these two works over.
As a result, after seeing the books, everyone was silent.
"Sigh, Akiwara, you are a monster of detective literature."
Akiwara Yuto couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
The people of the Detective Writers Association were convinced, and the internet also caused a huge uproar.
Unlike the public opinion situation where the "Anti-Akiwara Faction" had the upper hand before, the "Pro-Akiwara Faction" had completely recovered the lost ground this time.
Related support posts were topped to the top of the forum one after another, and some posts that advocated "plagiarism" or "ghostwriting" were also stepped down by people, and even deleted.
Besides that, many originally neutral netizens, because of this series of reports recently, started to admire "Akiwara Yuto's" talent.
After all, creating 3 detective novels of different styles in 7 days, and also winning the recognition of the Detective Writers Association, this was a very difficult thing.
But since he could do it, didn't it prove that the other party couldn't possibly plagiarize or hire a ghostwriter?
If he had that effort, couldn't the other party write it easily himself?!
Nihon society was a society that worshipped the strong, and Akiwara Yuto's set of practices undoubtedly proved his strength in literary creation.
For a time, Akiwara Yuto's fan club on the internet added hundreds of thousands of people.
Time soon reached the last day of Akiwara Yuto's "on-site creation."
Just on the afternoon of this day, Fuji TV specifically inserted a report. Under the questioning of a host, Funehiki Kuji faced the screen and said in a remorseful tone:
"Akiwara Yuto did not plagiarize my work, I lied."
"However, it was someone who instructed me to do this..." ===== CHAPTER 333 =====
