Chapter 252 Battle Night
late at night.
Although there were not many customers, the warm lighting and soothing music diluted the deserted feeling in the store.
A young man in formal attire sat alone at the bar, his back straight and his expression serious, not looking like he was there to drink at all.
"What do you think?"
Kudo Shinichi looked at the man standing at the bar, his eyes mixed with anticipation and nervousness, expecting more.
A month has passed since he decided to transform himself and become the Conan Doyle of the new era.
During this month, he spent every day in his study, working hard to complete his debut work. Then today, he couldn't wait to come to the bar with his unpublished work to ask for comments.
Lin Ye put down the manuscript in his hand and commented: "It's a very good work, but..."
After hearing the first half, Kudo's heart was about to drop, but he didn't expect there would be a twist later. His expression tensed and he asked hurriedly, "Just what?"
Lin Ye glanced at the manuscript on the bar counter. The first page had the name of the work printed on it: "The Legend of Moon Shadow in the Case Files of Young Detectives".
The work tells the story of a down-and-out middle-aged detective who returns to his teenage years and uses his rich experience to solve various bizarre cases.
This is the first case encountered by the protagonist, a serial murder case involving ghosts and gods that occurred on an isolated island on the sea - Yueying Island.
Although the writing style is a bit immature, the plot is tortuous and bizarre, the foreshadowing is cleverly hidden and surprising, and the method of committing the crime is amazing, but...
"This ending is too tragic." Lin Ye gave his most honest feelings after reading the book.
At the end of the story, the prisoner chose to commit suicide, and his death was quite tragic.
Normally, the murderer's execution should be a plot that readers would love to see, but this criminal was portrayed very well and is a charming character.
First of all, she had a sympathetic motive for committing the crime: revenge for her family. The guys she killed were all evil people who deserved to die.
Secondly, the murderer is a young and beautiful doctor who is kind and gentle, yet playful and cute. She is a very charming character. Even the protagonist, who has lived two lives, was confused by her at the beginning. Before finding decisive evidence, he did not dare to believe that she was the one who did it.
At the end of the story, the female doctor ended her life with a fire. When the protagonist arrived at the scene, he heard the sound of piano coming from the fire and began to doubt his own actions.
Is it right for me to do this? Is it justice to force the criminal into a dead end?
The story ends abruptly with the protagonist's confusion, which makes people feel depressed and unable to express themselves.
After hearing Lin Ye's comments, Kudo Shinichi smiled and said, "The power of tragedy can move people's hearts the most. The ending is what I imagined from the beginning."
"But aren't you going to post it online?" Lin Ye asked curiously.
In order to prove his own ability, Kudo does not want to rely on his father's publishing house connections, nor does he want to rely on his own fame as a famous detective. He plans to start from scratch and publish his works online as a new novelist.
Otherwise, with his current fame, if he just revealed the slightest news that he was planning to write a book, all the major publishing houses would come knocking on his door.
Perhaps the embarrassing look on his father's face that he often saw when he was a child, being harassed by publishing houses, was one of the reasons why he chose this path.
"Yes what's the matter?"
Kudo didn't notice the problem at all, his eyes were full of anticipation, he couldn't wait to show his work to his online readers and friends, he wanted to rush home and upload his debut work immediately.
Lin Ye glanced at Kudo and said tactfully, "Most readers on the Internet may not like stories with tragic endings..."
It's not possible. Lin Ye is 100% sure that if Kudo's novel is posted online, it will definitely be criticized by angry readers.
Creating a popular female character and then having her die at the end is something most readers can't stand.
What's more, the website chosen by Kudo is a popular website with young readers. Kudo seemed to see what Lin Ye was worried about, and smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter. The more intense the readers' reaction is, the more it proves that the content I write can touch their hearts. I can't wait to be happy."
"In that case, I wish you success soon."
"Thank you. I'll do my best. Well, I should go home too... ugh."
When talking about going home, Kudo seemed to suddenly remember something. His excited expression suddenly disappeared and he stood up, but did not leave immediately.
Lin Ye glanced at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Kudo turned his face away, avoiding Lin Ye's gentle gaze, and sat back in his chair. "I want to have a drink before I leave."
Lin Ye smiled and said, "What would you like to drink?"
[During this period, I stayed in the study room under the pretext of writing, and stayed up late until late at night. I only went back to my room to sleep after Xiaolan fell asleep.]
[Now the first draft has been completed, Xiaolan also said that she would celebrate for me when my first work is completed...]
Kudo looked up at the time.
[Well, it’s not even one o’clock yet. If we go back now, Xiaolan should not be asleep yet.]
[What is coming will come, and it is no use avoiding it. I have rested for so many days, so I will work harder tonight, and it should be fine! ]
Kudo's tone was like that of a soldier about to go into battle: "I want something stronger."
Lin Ye suppressed his smile and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Don't be afraid, Kudo-san, just leave your problems to me. I've already prepared them for you!
When Lin Ye placed the carefully blended wine on the bar, Kudo picked up the wine glass, observed the amber liquid in the glass, and smelled a unique fragrance.
This drink is based on gin, but the taste is not the juniper aroma of gin, but another unique herbal aroma, a mixture of various herbs and spices.
He saw Lin Ye take out a mysterious small bottle without a label and put a few drops into the cup. The smell was most likely coming from that mysterious liquid.
"What a unique scent." Kudo exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Ye smiled mysteriously:
"This glass of wine has special effects."
"What effect?"
"You'll know when you get home." Lin Ye blinked ambiguously, "This is the product of the combination of the ancient wisdom of my hometown and modern technology. I promise you won't be disappointed."
Lin Ye’s attitude made Kudo feel more and more strange, but out of trust in this man, he still drank the glass of wine.
It's a little spicy, but tolerable, with a strong herbal flavor, more like a potion than a drink.
But after drinking it, I feel radiant and it seems to have a good refreshing effect.
Taking advantage of the good alcohol, Kudo stood up with full momentum and said loudly:
"Thank you for the hospitality. I'm going back now."
Lin Ye watched him leave with a smile on his face.
Tonight will be a sleepless night of fighting.
