701. All pretend to be confused
"Why didn't the other party allow the publisher to make those manuscripts public?" Toru Amuro grasped the point.
"Are you?" Gakinai Hisaku looked at Amuro, not sure what his identity was.
"I am a disciple of Mr. Maori." Toru Amuro was probably used to the client's doubts about him, smiled and introduced his identity.
Gaki nodded a long time ago, and then he slowly explained the reason:
"To be honest, these manuscripts are the first drafts that Mr. Mino has not yet modified. This first draft only wrote the first half. Because his understanding of life has been changing, Mr. Mino has been writing for ten years one after another, and the book has not been completed until his death."
Yuhei Mino, a realist writer who died three years ago, was very popular at the time because of his concise and sharp writing, wonderful and thought-provoking content.
Amuro has heard of the author's name, but he has only heard of the name.
And Shun Katsukawa and Kogoro Mori had no idea who this writer was.
"This manuscript was not originally from our publishing house, but from Mr. Mino's family. There was something financially wrong with their family, so they sold the manuscripts to our publishing house."
"It's just that why are there people so resistant?" Toru Amuro thinks that public documents are a good thing. After all, it would be a pity if no one knows it.
"It's probably because of what Mr. Mino said before..." Gakinai Sasaki sighed, "Our publishing house knows that Mr. Mino came to visit him after preparing this book, hoping to obtain the first right to publish the book. But Mr. Mino refused because the book was not completed.
In Mr. Mino's mind, unfinished works are not considered works, just like an artist will never bring semi-finished products to the booth."
Amuro nodded, he understood.
People in the world have their own principles and persistence, and these qualities are particularly obvious in the group of artists.
If semi-finished works are understood as rough pottery embryos, it is not so difficult to understand that some paranoid fans think that these manuscripts of idols should not be displayed.
"Can you put this intimidation letter on the president's desk, then the other party must be a person within the company. Is there anyone in your company who strongly opposes this matter?" asked Kogoro Mouri.
He has accepted many such commissions to protect the client, and most of the situation has failed. If the suspect can be found, the success rate will be greatly improved.
"There are three, one is Riki Akasaka who has been in the editorial department for ten years, the other is Kokan Ruiho who has just entered the publishing house, and the editor-in-chief Shinosuke Ueki, who is a friend of Mr. Mino."
"Are they all resisting the publication of manuscripts?"
"Yes, especially Ueki, I had a fight with me last night over this incident." Gakinai Sakusaki sighed.
He actually didn't want to publish the manuscript very much. After all, there were too many flaws in the unmodified manuscript. It's just that the publishing house's business situation is very poor now, and it's hard to have such a gimmick to hold a commercial dinner, but he doesn't want to give up.
"This is half the commission fee." The secretary pushed the money in the envelope to Kogoro Mori. Kogoro Mori opened it and immediately patted his chest to respond.
The secretary handed out a few more invitations, "I'll bother Mr. Maori tonight."
After saying that, the two left the phone and left the office.
Shun Kawakawa looked at the time and address on the invitation letter and said, "It's still a long time before the evening. Why don't they entrust Mr. Maori to protect himself? What if the gangsters took action before the memorial service began?"
"Because before the manuscript is made public, there is still room for reversal." Amuro smiled, "and I think the person who prepared this intimidation letter was a loyal fan of Mr. Mino. As a fan, he must also hold a memorial service for his idol.
If the president was killed before the memorial service, it would be impossible for the memorial service to be held again. Right, Mr. Maori?"
Toru Amuro said, looking at Kogoro Mouri, trying to get comments from the teacher.
Kogoro Maori didn't think so much. The client asked him to go to the evening, so he would go to the evening. But in front of his apprentice, he could not lose his teacher's majesty.
He pulled off his tie and said, "That's it."
Conan slowly got down from the building and saw them talking about the entrusted matters.
This guy, Mikawa Shun, also looks very interested and is preparing to join in the fun with Kogoro Mouri tonight.
After roughly understanding the incident, he looked at Tomo Amuro, "Will Mr. Amuro go tonight?"
Amuro's eyes were curved, "Go, this is a good opportunity to learn from Mr. Maori."
Listening to Amuro's mouth squirting, Conan's mouth twitched. It was okay if he didn't know his identity before, but after knowing his identity, he felt very awkward to look at him.
The uncle is so at ease, aren’t you afraid of being exposed?
His eyes swept over Kogoro Mori, Amuro Toru and Katsukawa Shun. These people were so hypocritical, they all pretended to be confused with understanding...
Since everyone acts, then he will continue to act...
Alas, I just feel tired...
In the evening, Kamikawa Shin changed into a black suit and followed Amuro Toru and Mori to the memorial service held at the Kumato Hotel.
The same hall and the same dinner are just the protagonist who remembers them has changed.
Guaikawa Shin thought about what happened here last time and reached out to grab Conan's head.
“Is this scene familiar?”
Conan patted his hands off and sorted out his hair.
Of course it seems familiar. The last time he discovered Pixar here, he met Belmode and was almost burned to death.
“It’s different.”
“Where is different?”
"There are different places." The world-renowned person I remembered last time was full of dignitaries, and he and Haibara also sneaked in.
This time, the only one who remembered was a writer, and he was not that famous. Most of the people who participated were fans except for the invited ones. He did not sneak in, but followed Kogoro Mouri in openly.
The status is different and the guest level is also different.
The last incident could not have happened again!
Toru Amuro glanced at them. Although he didn't participate, he also learned the cause of the incident from Uekawa Shun.
After wandering on the verge of death once, they were still in the mood to make fun of it, and there was really no psychological shadow.
The memorial service started at six o'clock. They came early, and the staff at the venue were still carrying out the final arrangement work.
The client brought his secretary to greet Kogoro Mouri.
Chapter completed!
