Chapter 486 The old does not go and the new does not come
"It finally stopped."
When the department's phone number stopped ringing wildly and when the editors under his subordinates stopped "Editor-in-Chief Editor" kept calling, Cao Dezhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought about it, opened the "Polo Detectives Collection" at hand, and looked at the last paragraph.
[Hastings suddenly saw a person.
The man should be over 1.8 meters tall, holding a pair of bowler hats in his left hand, bowing to Poirot's tombstone.
Hastings had never seen this man before and couldn't help but go forward.
"Is it you..."
The man had a big back head, his angular face looked like a polished diamond, and his slender hooked nose made his appearance look particularly alert and decisive. For some reason, Hastings felt a familiar smell on the other party.
"Sherlock Holmes."
The man took off his bowler hat and introduced himself.
"Are you a friend of Mr. Poirot?"
"Have you just heard too many stories about him? It's just a memorialist who came from afar."
The man named Sherlock Holmes said.
As the man turned and left, Hastings looked at the other person's back and finally knew where the familiarity came from-
His eyes looked like Poirot.
This is the last scene of "The Collection of Poirot Detectives" written by Chu Kuang.
Cao Dezhi confirmed with Chu Kuang.
This is the protagonist of Chu Kuang's lower mystery novel.
Cao Dezhi thought: "It's just that there is too little information, only the appearance description and the name of the protagonist."
In fact.
Not only Cao Dezhi noticed this paragraph.
On the Internet.
As everyone began to accept Poirot's death, many people's attention gradually shifted to the characters that appeared at the end, and caused a lot of speculation-
Obviously.
Poirot's death hit everyone's mind, so that when we first started, we were talking about Poirot's affairs.
No one mentioned this new character.
Moreover, although this person appears at the end of "The Poirot Detective Collection", there are only a few narratives.
Only when everyone calms down can they discover the unusual things.
"Why do such a character suddenly appear at the end?"
"Is this guy really okay with Poirot?"
"What's going on with Hastings's feelings? You should know that this passage suddenly changed from Hastings' first perspective to the third perspective for narration. In the original words, this Sherlock's eyes looked like Poirot."
"Is Chu Kuang hinting that Poirot is not dead?"
"If this is the case, although it is just a hint, I have to praise it, and the old thief also finds his conscience."
"etc."
"I thought of a greater possibility. Could this person be the protagonist of Chu Kuang's next novel, right?"
"No way?"
"Similar to the second part of "Polo Detectives", Chu Kuang is going to replace Polo with a new protagonist?"
"impossible."
"I only accept Poirot, not others, Poirot is irreplaceable!"
“Add one.”
"My heart has died with Poirot, so Chu Kuang can't replace Poirot with a new character."
“…”
There are small-scale discussions around this.
Because the signs are not obvious, many people cannot guess what this man named Sherlock Holmes means. Everyone just vaguely feels that there is a follow-up to this pit.
Because in terms of the appearance of the characters, it is meaningless.
Unless this appearance becomes meaningful for some reason, what exactly is it?
...
The same question also asked from Kaneki: "Who is this Sherlock?"
"The protagonist of the next book."
Lin Yuan did not hide it, and he had told Cao Dezhi before.
Kaneki was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Are you planning to write another detective protagonist like Poirot?"
"You're only half right."
Lin Yuan said: "Sherlock and Poirot are both detectives, but their personality and method of solving cases are very different in many places. The only thing they are the same is their unremitting pursuit of the truth."
"really."
Kaneki smiled bitterly and said, "So you really didn't get tired of writing Poirot's story, so you suddenly ended it?"
"no."
The story is indeed finished.
Moreover, Lin Yuan also knew that Poirot's death would cause an uproar among readers.
But it is obvious that Lin Yuan underestimated the scale of the riot and underestimated everyone's feelings for Poirot.
Fortunately, everyone is still rational.
After comparing the previous article, everyone accepted Poirot's death.
Because Poirot is already old.
For such a heroic character, it is difficult to imagine his declining appearance, and it is not too bad to let him live in the hearts of readers in this way.
"It's fine if not."
Kaneki said fearfully: "You have to be more at ease in the future. Don't get caught off guard. When I finished reading the novel, I even wanted to go to your house to smash the glass."
"Antarctic will be the one who is in charge."
Lin Yuan seemed to think carefully and then gave a very sincere answer.
Kaneki: "…"
Of course he knew that Lin Yuan's family had a dog, and that Antarctic also acted in the movie "The Loyal Dog Hachiko".
He can be called a big star in the dog world.
He did not get involved with Lin Yuan on this topic, but said:
"The protagonist of the next chapter reasoning will not receive a lunch box, right?"
Lin Yuan paused for a few seconds before saying, "No."
Although in the story, Sherlock Holmes was indeed written to death for a time, he was eventually resurrected.
Kaneki couldn't help but take a step back: "Boss, are you serious about your hesitation just now?"
"Then are you serious about taking a step back?"
"You can't do this. I definitely advise you to be kind from the bottom of my heart!"
“…”
Resurrection is not considered death.
Kaneki sighed: "Anyway, you can think about it yourself, but everyone needs warmth and comfort from the readers. Why don't you say something?"
"OK."
Lin Yuan also felt that readers needed some comfort.
He logged into Chu Kuang's tribal account and after confirming that he did not log in the wrong number, he posted a update:
"The trailer for the new book is still a mystery novel, "Detective Sherlock Holmes."
What makes readers happy is probably that they are about to release a new book again—
Lin Yuan could clearly feel that every time he released a new book, the readers' mood would get better.
This was the best comfort he could think of.
You can't learn from Lao Xu, saying that I, Chu Kuang, is actually a "warrior of love"; saying that "my creative purpose is to bring warm and healing stories to everyone"?
However.
After Lin Yuan posted this news, Jin Mu suddenly changed color: "Boss, how can you do this? Do you know what your behavior is like now?"
"Like what?"
"It's like a provocation."
There is no reason why Lanling King was hated so much!
You wrote Poirot to death, and turned around and wanted to replace Poirot's position in everyone's mind with a new character?
Are you trying to say, the old ones don’t go, and the new ones don’t come?
Will readers accept it?
