After a long time at Ichiro Suzuki's home, there was no news from Aoyama Nagaji.

Suzuki Ichiro said a little strangely, "I heard from Mr. Aoyama that Li Fan's submission was written directly in the island text, so there is no need to translate it anymore. Then, Mr. Aoyama should have finished reading the manuscript long ago, so why hasn't the news been sent again?"

Jun Takano thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the quality of the manuscript is too poor, and Mr. Aoyama feels that there is no need to send you any more news."

Suzuki Ichiro shook his head and said, "No, the quality of Li Fan's manuscripts cannot be too bad. Could it be that something unexpected happened? No, I have to call and ask, otherwise, I always feel uneasy."

Jun Takano nodded and said, "It's good."

Suzuki Ichiro took out the phone and dialed Aoyama Nagaji's cell phone, which was quickly connected.

Not long after, Suzuki Ichiro put down the phone and frowned slightly.

Junichi Takano asked, "Brother Suzuki, what's wrong? Why is this expression? What does Mr. Aoyama say?"

Suzuki Ichiro said: "Mr. Aoyama's tone seems to be very disappointed. He did not say how the quality of Li Fan's works are. He just said that we should not invite Li Fan to participate in the competition this time. What does Mr. Aoyama mean? Is Li Fan's works very outstanding? They are even better than mine?"

Suzuki Ichiro suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart and began to feel a little irritable.

When Jun Takano heard this, his heart was also shocked and said, "This is impossible. Then Li Fan's works may be really good. But no matter how good it is, it cannot surpass your works. Could it be that Mr. Aoyama hasn't seen your works yet?"

Suzuki Ichiro said: "No, he has seen it. Not only my works, but also the works of Kenta Yamano and others."

Junichi Takano frowned and said, "What does Mr. Aoyama mean? Li Fan's works are really better than yours? This is absolutely impossible."

Suzuki Ichiro said: "I don't know. I will only know until the 2nd and after reading Li Fan's works."

Junichi Takano nodded slowly, and he suddenly had a bad preview.

...

At this time, the circle of mystery novel writers in the island country happened to be talking about Li Fan's participation in the competition.

"The deadline for submission is almost here. I haven't heard of Li Fan's submission yet. It seems that I really don't plan to contribute."

"I won't commit to what I expected. Who will do it if I am not sure?"

"It is obviously a wise choice not to participate in the competition. Otherwise, it would be a very embarrassing thing to lose to Chinese writers with his reputation in China."

"It doesn't matter to us whether Li Fan participates in the competition or not. However, some people will probably be very disappointed. For example, some people from the organizing committee, or Mr. Ichiro Suzuki."

"There are rumors that when Mr. Suzuki went to China, he competed with Li Fan on the same stage and ended up losing. It is estimated that Mr. Suzuki is very eager to use this opportunity to defeat Li Fan. Of course, just in terms of the mystery novels that the people of our country like, Mr. Suzuki does have the strength to defeat Li Fan."

"Huh? Li Fan seems to have contributed his article?"

"Submitted? Is it true or false? How do you know?"

"It should be true. I have a friend who works as an editor at Evergreen Publishing House. Although he is not the review editor of this competition, he can see the authors' contributions."

"So, is it true? I'm going, unexpected. Then isn't Li Fan afraid of losing to Mr. Suzuki?"

"Maybe he thinks he has the strength to beat Mr. Suzuki. You know, he should be a very confident person."

"If you invest, you can vote, it has nothing to do with us. However, Mr. Suzuki should be very happy now. Well, there are also the people from the organizing committee, so they should be very happy."

"You said, is it possible for Li Fan to beat Mr. Suzuki?"

"It's almost impossible. We don't know Mr. Suzuki's strength. This time the entries are probably at its peak. However, since Li Fan has submitted the article, I am still very interested in taking a look. It will be fine until the second day of next month."

"Don't worry, Li Fan's strength may be stronger than us, but he will definitely not be as good as Mr. Suzuki."

“…”

...

The authors of detective novels were talking a lot, and a group of detective novel fans were talking a lot.

"I don't know if Li Fan of China has contributed it? The organizing committee will not issue a notice or something to explain it, it's true."

"I probably won't vote because he knows he can't beat Mr. Suzuki in our country."

"Actually, I still hope that he will contribute. I don't want him to lose to Mr. Suzuki. I'm just curious about what kind of work he will write?"

"Tsk! What kind of works can he write? It's not the ancient Chinese people like Bao Qingtian, Song Ci, etc. Maybe the Chinese people like it very much, but I don't even have the interest to read it."

"Indeed, I have no interest in his works, so whether he participates in the competition or not? It doesn't matter."

"I'll know the answer next month on the 2nd. It's been two days. Everyone just need to wait."

“…”

...

Three Saint Village.

Li Fan came to Yuanlai to take two printed manuscripts "The Dedication of Suspect X" with him.

Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng looked at the things Li Fan was holding, and their eyes lit up at the same time. Zheng Jie asked, "The manuscript of "The Appearance of Suspect X"?"

Li Fan nodded, and while handing the two manuscripts to the two, he said, "It was specially printed."

Zheng Jie took the manuscript, but did not go to read it immediately. Instead, she asked with a smile: "Has it sent to the island country's Evergreen Press?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "I've sent it. Okay, let's take a look slowly, I'll leave."

After saying that, Li Fan smiled and turned around and left.

This time he was sending the manuscript specially.

Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng both laughed and scolded, "This kid." Then they shook their heads and looked at the manuscripts in their hands.

"The Dedication of Suspect x", dedication? It turns out that it is this 'dedication'." The two of them said suddenly at the same time, unable to help but feel a little confused in their hearts, and they don't quite understand the meaning of the word "dedication".

They had heard Li Fan talk about the title of the book before, and they all thought it was called "The Appearance of Suspect X". After seeing the title of the book today, they realized that it was "dedication" rather than "appearance".

Although these two characters are pronounced the same, their meanings are very different.

According to the normal understanding of mystery novels, it is obvious that it should be "appearing", but it is "devoting oneself".

The two old men were confused and were also very curious, why was it "dedicated"?

After reading this work, you will obviously know the answer, and the two old men began to read it.
