The surveillance showed that after Jiang Baiyan entered the study, he first walked around casually, like an ordinary guest, curiously looking at the scenery and decorations. Then, like most people, he became curious about the bookshelf.
Jian Jing's bookshelf has two large rows, one row is for reference books, of all kinds. He exclaimed twice, then went to look at the other row.
There are not many books on display. Two layers are used for decorations, and the other layers are all novels that I have read, including: "White Cat Detective", "Hide and Seek", "Devil Doctor" and "Rose, Gold and Killer".
Among them, "White Cat Detective" has a total of sixteen volumes, which is the largest number of volumes at present.
He didn't even watch the movie "Hide and Seek" in which he had acted, but stood in front of the white cat row and watched for a long time. Then, he reached out and took out the folder at the edge.
There was a sticky note on the book in the folder with the words "White Cat" on it, and the folder contained 's manuscripts.
Jiang Baiyan had a clear goal. He directly opened the folder and counted to volume thirteen.
Manuscript of "The Pudding and the Gem".
He looked around cautiously for a moment, making sure that she was not nearby, then he took out a note from his trouser pocket, read it silently for a while, put it between the pages of the book, and then put the folder back in its place as if nothing had happened.
Jian Jing paused the monitoring, stood up, took the folder, found the note, and thought for a while.
I have read "White Cat Detective" in both worlds, there is no doubt about that. According to my memory, the contents of volumes 1-9 are very different. The only difference is that one world has been edited and modified, while the original one is the first draft.
After finishing the ninth volume, I stopped writing because of the high school entrance examination and did not continue. Jian Jing from another world completed the following volumes 10-16.
The "Pudding and Gem" that Jiang Baiyan was particularly interested in was Volume 13, which he had no memory of.
As for the sticky notes.
Jian Jing looked down and saw a yellowed piece of paper with a sketch of a cat on it. It wasn't pretty, but it wasn't crude either. It was just an ordinary cartoon.
Why did Jiang Baiyan put the note in the bag? Is it related to the story
But "Pudding and Gems" is about a case of a jewel theft.
An emerald gem that a jeweler had purchased at a high price went missing. After calling the police, they searched everywhere and found several suspects, but after investigation, no trace of the gem was found.
Just when the police were at a loss, someone reported that the thief was the owner of a grocery store on the next street.
The police were very puzzled, but when they arrived at the store, they found the lost gem next to the candies, together with many gem candies.
The grocery store owner was arrested, but his wife didn't believe it and cried alone in the garden.
White Kitten passed by, heard his story, and promised to help him find the truth.
What is the truth
It turned out that there was a wild cat on the street, which was the king of the street and was familiar with every household. The grocery store owner's son often fed the wild cat with dried fish, and every time the cat ate the dried fish, he would eat the best gem candy sold in the store.
Maybe the cat misunderstood and thought that humans only liked to eat small things, so one day, the wild cat, grateful for the kindness, brought a gem and gave it to the child as a gift.
The child didn't know it was a real gem and thought it was gem candy, so he stuffed it into the candy jar.
The ending, of course, is that the boss was released from prison and his wife adopted the wild cat.
A wild cat named Pudding.
However, although "White Cat Detective" is Jian Jing's famous work, it was published as a novel for young readers. The reasoning elements are not strong and the story is a bit fictitious.
Who would just leave the gems on the table without locking the safe? Of course, if I remember correctly, I was 13 when I started writing this story, so I can't set too high a standard.
Here comes the problem.
What's so good about Jiang Baiyan's story that can't stand up to scrutiny
No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with him, right
He is not the grocer's son.
While I was wondering, the system quietly appeared: [New task has been released]
[Task name: The Secret of Pudding (Long-term)]
[Description: What secrets can a cute little cat have? This is a long-term task with no time limit]
[Task rewards and penalties: Depends on the completion of the task]
Jian Jing: “???”
This is the first long-term mission, and it's a weird one. What's the secret of Pudding? Did he hide the dried fish in the sofa, or did he poop in the closet
Are you talking about the pudding in "Pudding and Gems" or the pudding in Meow Meow Meow
I have no idea why there is such a strange task
"System, no hint?"
[This is a long-term task, the host can investigate slowly]
All right. Jian Jing put the task aside for the time being and continued with her previous thoughts.
In addition to the manuscripts, he also placed two other things on the bookshelf.
Saint Angel's greeting card and a poster with a heart drawn on it.
However, Jiang Baiyan just glanced past it, neither looking any closer nor not looking at it, and went straight towards the white cat. It seemed that the two had nothing to do with him.
Just like that.
Jian Jing still remembered a man she met in the cemetery. He was well dressed, and her face could not be seen, but her body shape and walking posture did not match her memory.
In other words, it should not be someone around you.
It is worth noting that none of the security guards in the industry have scars on the back of their hands.
Is he still watching me
"Rose Gold" has been on the shelves for such a long time, but there is no movement at all.
I don't understand the perverted thinking.
The "Murder Hospital" episode of the haunted house was officially broadcast in July. Due to its long length and the rare fact that it was filmed overseas, it is considered a special episode.
As soon as the trailer was released, many viewers made reservations. When it was broadcast, the number of viewers jumped into six digits, and the barrage of comments was so dense that it was impossible to open it.
It's not surprising. Domestic live-action CS all use laser bullets. Although it's also exciting, it can't compare to the real experience brought by real bullets. The immersive environment and the monster fights with real knives and guns are no exaggeration to say that they are exciting.
Everyone is asking when the haunted house will open, and they want to experience it in person.
It received rave reviews at home and also sparked heated discussions abroad.
The program "Haunted House Adventure" was introduced overseas last year and was broadcast on foreign paid websites. It was broadcasted again and won the love of foreign audiences.
Especially the last Easter egg code, the audience tried every possible way to crack it, and finally it was forwarded by a popular blogger, who said the answer: [It is the Virginia cipher, the key is xclub, super simple]
Everyone unconsciously ignored the great god's Versailles speech and became curious about Jian Jing.
Many people on the review website asked who he was and whether he was a martial arts star. Comments related to him accounted for more than half of the total comments.
In other words, the popularity of this person alone exceeds that of the other five combined.
Very hateful.
Next are Han Bo and Jiang Baiyan. The former won favor with his bravery, while the latter became popular with his good looks - of course, due to differences in aesthetics, fans are still mainly Asian.
Next up is Coco, whose performance was originally good, but unfortunately, people are always afraid of comparison. Compared with Jian Jing, she is slightly inferior in all aspects, and the second place is always unknown.
Zheng Keyan is very popular in China, but not so popular abroad. Fortunately, beauty is a permanent passport, and although she is not popular, there are still people who admire her appearance.
Cao Yu suffered the most.
Foreign audiences cannot accurately get the so-called military advisor character, they advocate individual heroism. Jian Jing is younger, smarter, better at fighting, and prettier than him, which suits their taste more.
Therefore, Teacher Cao is not popular tonight.
Alas, the adult world is so cruel :(
Back to the topic, as the heat gradually grew, one day, the system issued a prompt.
[System: The host's reputation has achieved a breakthrough, the limited pool opening time -5 times]
Jian Jing: You are too stingy.
From domestic to overseas, only 5 yuan
[System: Please maintain your reputation. If your reputation drops, the time will be restored to the original time.]
Before Jian Jing had time to worry, Kang Mucheng mentioned the issue of overseas publishing to her.
As early as three years ago, "White Cat Detective" was translated into Japanese and Korean and published. At that time, it also attracted a certain degree of attention in Japan and South Korea, but it did not make much of a splash.
I have always had a plan to translate "Devil Doctor", but my translation schedule was too full, so it was put on hold until this year.
"We had originally planned to put both volumes on the shelves in the second half of the year, but now it seems that the plan has to change." Kang Mucheng personally came to deliver the manuscript, "The first volume has been translated, I will have them publish it as soon as possible, and it would be best if we could use this popularity to open up the European and American markets."
Jian Jing flipped through the electronic manuscript and thought that the cover was nice, but she had no idea whether the content was good or not.
"I'll do whatever you say. I can do anything." He didn't think too much about it.
Kang Mucheng was amused by her words: "You really are not nervous at all."
"There's no point in being nervous. Whether the translation is good or not, and whether foreigners eat it or not, are not things I can decide." Jian Jing's life is so colorful that even the original version of herself does not have the worries she had when Devil's Devil 2 was published.
Kang Mucheng sighed deeply, not knowing whether it was relief or something else: "I'm relieved if you think so. By the way, the script of Rose Gold is already in place. If you have any ideas, please communicate with them in time."
Another script
Still have a meeting
Jian Jing held her forehead, fell headfirst onto the pillow, and complained, "Why are you doing so much work? Didn't you say you were going on vacation?"
Is this a mistake? In the first half of the year, I was busy with various things about Devil May Cry 2, then I made Rose Gold, and filmed a haunted house show. Finally, summer vacation came and I have a new job? !
It's summer vacation!
Kang Mucheng laughed dumbly: "It's okay if you don't do it. I'm just afraid that you won't watch it and the result will not be as good as others. After all, it's your work."
After a moment of silence, he whispered, "That's right."
Kang Mucheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw him like this. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Well, how about next week?"
"Meeting? I don't want to go. Ask the screenwriter to send me the script." The weather was getting hotter, and Jian Jing went out lazily.
"Vacation." Kang Mucheng smiled, "I can finish most of my work in a week. As for the script, I can bring my computer and read it anytime."
Jian Jing sat up straight abruptly: "Are you really on vacation? You're not going to participate in any activities, you're just having fun."
Don't doubt it, Kang, the workaholic, is definitely capable of doing this kind of thing.
"No activities." Kang Mucheng pinched his nose and promised, "It's just a pure vacation. It's not like I haven't taken you there before."
Jian Jing was relieved: "Where are we going?"
"Where do you want to go?" he asked.
After thinking for a while, he said tactfully: "Less people, quieter, less tiring, suitable for summer."
Kang Mucheng hummed, and immediately came up with a plan: "Remember Si Yingjie?"
A smiling face appeared in Jian Jing's mind, and a voice said, "Xiao Jingjing, Mu Cheng has something to do, let me teach you how to play tennis."
"Remember." The person you originally had an impression of must have appeared more than once in your past life.
"He's been in a bad mood recently and wants to invite a friend to go to the island to play together." Kang Mucheng explained, "What do you think?"
Jian Jing's heart moved slightly.
Si Yingjie is Kang Mucheng's good friend, a close friend of his, and he should have met him many times. Perhaps, he can get clues about things that Kang Mucheng doesn't want to talk about.
"Okay." He agreed without hesitation, saying naturally, "I haven't seen Brother Yingjie for a long time."
That's how it was settled.
