Chapter 232 Showing off
"This..." After hesitating for a moment, the editor said: "To be honest, I think the new work written by Mr. Wantian does have less flavor than the past, but I think that's because he has not yet come out of the grief of losing his wife. In fact, I think the reason why readers today still buy Mr. Wantian's books is actually feelings, right?"
"I understand, let me ask again. When Mr. Wantian mentioned his new book just now, I saw that your expression was not very natural. Is there any reason?"
"Ah...no, no." The editor explained panickedly: "I...I'm surprised because I haven't heard from Teacher Wantian talk about new things, because Teacher Wantian was still struggling with the ending direction of the book now."
"Really?" Mizumatsu approached the editor: "But the reason why you and Mr. Wantian have appeared here. Didn't you go to Mr. Wantian's house opposite to discuss a new book? It's impossible not to know at all, right? Is it necessary to keep your mouth shut on the way here?" Mizumatsu used his unique interrogation skills in his tone, which could increase the other party's psychological pressure.
"Okay, Teacher Wantian has told me that the new book is going to write a new work of reasoning, but what he told me was that he had already written it almost and was thinking about the final issue. So I was a little surprised at that time." The editor said in panic.
"It's inconsistent before and after... and it's the end of thinking." Mizumatsu thought while touching her chin.
"I think Mr. Wantian may not want the news to be revealed, so he concealed the truth from the police officer, so please don't be too suspicious of Mr. Wantian..." The editor explained on behalf of Mr. Wantian Nianjiu: "And it may be that Mr. Wantian was lying to me before. Police officer, you may not understand. Many authors who like to drag manuscripts like to deceive the editor with various reasons. Mr. Wantian is also such a person, otherwise I would not lock Mr. Wantian in a hotel and ask him to rush the manuscript today."
"Is that right? But since you are just here to urge old books and discuss new books today, is it necessary for him to deceive you that the new book has been finished?" Mizumatsu continued to ask. Wantian Nianjiu's answers were inconsistent. It is very likely that he was guilty about the matter of 'finishing the new book', which means there was a problem.
"It should...yes." The editor said with uncertainty.
"Then let's not mention this for now. I want to ask about that kind of gray cat." This is the question that Mizumatsu himself needs to ask. The suspiciousness that Wanda Nianjiu showed at the beginning was all about the gray cat.
"Are you talking about Nobel?" The editor listened to the conversation between Mizumatsu and Wantian, so he knew Mizumatsu would have questions about Nobel. He explained without surprise: "Mr. Wantian did not lie about Nobel. He was really close to Mr. Wantian. I once volunteered to take care of Nobel for Teacher Wantian for a period of time, but not only was it scratched, but it could also be broken and damaged. He was indeed a very fierce cat."
Before Mizumatsu answered, the sound of a white bird talking loudly suddenly came from the other end of the corridor: "Mr. Wantian, where are you going?" Obviously Wantian came over, maybe he couldn't stay. He came over and wanted to hear what Mizumatsu and his editor would ask.
"No... nothing." The sound of Wantian walking farther and farther away from the other side of the corridor came from the other side of the corridor.
"I understand what I said just now. Are you there in the hotel today?" After confirming that there was no follow-up on the corner, Mizumatsu continued to ask.
"Yes, Nobel is also with Teacher Wantian. Before Teacher Wantian closed, I said to Nobel, 'Please help me watch the teacher'." The editor said.
"Where are you back from the hotel? Nobel is also together?" Mizumatsu continued to ask.
"Of course, otherwise why would Nobel be in Teacher Wantian's arms now? Well..." Halfway through, the editor seemed to have thought of something.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
"I suggest you have any questions, just say it right now." Mizumatsu threatened with a patient look of exhaustion: "As an editor, I know that maintaining a famous writer is a job, but if Mr. Wantian's innocence is his own, he does not need you to maintain it. If he is the murderer, your maintenance will only give you a crime of sheltering!"
"I, I... I said, that's right. When I came back, Nobel stayed in the cage. The teacher said Nobel wanted to take a nap." Frightened by Mizumatsu, the editor finally said honestly: "But I think Nobel must be in the cage. It can't come back before us, right?"
"Maybe, there seem to be many cats who know their way and find their homes from a very distant place." Mizumatsu said casually. The Meow King, who was given to Ai Haibara, had run back to Ai Mizumatsu's house. I don't know if it was because he was not satisfied with Dr. Ai Ai's house. Anyway, he was later arrested by Ai Haibara and was sterilized within a few days.
"But..." Seeing that Mizumatsu was completely distrustful of Wantian Nianjiu, the editor was anxious to speak.
"Okay, there's nothing to say. Thank you for your cooperation. If you think of anything, you can report to any police officer at any time." Mizumatsu interrupted him and turned around and walked back.
————————————
"Thank you for your cooperation. If you think of any other noteworthy places, you can tell me or any police officer." Shirato said politely to his original servant, Mrs. Ichimura.
"You're welcome, Gao Pingjun and I have known each other for a long time. I'm very angry when he was killed." Mrs. Ichimura frowned and said, "But can I leave first, after all, I still have my next job to do."
"Well..." Shiragou was a little difficult to deal with. Unless the case has been confirmed that it cannot be resolved in a short time, the rule that the persons involved in the case are not allowed to leave early is set by Mizumaki, with the purpose of preventing the criminals in the case from absconding, destroying evidence or continuing to commit crimes.
In general, or other departments, if the police officers in other departments handle the case, as long as they are not established as suspects, they will usually not be stopped. After all, others have important things to do, and they should not be left behind just because of the case. Why did Akitoshi Nishienji stop Wanda and his editor from leaving before, and the three of them quarrel.
