As one of the most famous writers of the time, Keigo Higashino was confused by the foggy cases in the text when he first appreciated his works, and it was not until the end that he had a kind of epiphany, suddenly enlightened, and after reading it, he sweated and cried out in pain.
If this were the case, Keigo Higashino would not be able to reach the pinnacle of literature. His works can enter the ranks of the world's outstanding works, but also look at the characters with distinct personalities created in the text, whether they are protagonists or supporting characters, each of them has a human nature that cannot be separated from reality, there is light, there is darkness, there is confusion, there is persistence, no matter which one, he depicts it with a sense of reality, making it impossible to distinguish whether it is a fictional character or a real person who has moved to the book in reality.
In Keigo Higashino's "Kyoichiro Kaga" series" I Kill him, Makoto Hotaka, who appears as a semi-protagonist and victim, is one of the characters portrayed in the three points of Irisaki.
Hotaka Makoto was an outstanding writer, playwright, and screenwriter of the time. He became famous at a young age, won awards for his novels in college, stepped into the ranks of writers in one fell swoop, and became a representative of young fame.
His young fame also led to his arrogance, and after graduation, he was not willing to "work" in other people's companies, and set up his own studio to write and shoot movies at the same time.
This excellent writer is cold and thin by nature, and his treatment of feelings is more about the use of value, and the only profit is the plot. Keigo Higashino grasps the characteristics of Hotaka Makoto and unfolds a series of stories, and this humanity eventually becomes the fuse for his murder.
When Hotaka Makoto first set up the studio, he lacked confidants and thought hard to find his friend Naoyuki Suruga, who had not been in contact with him for many years at the university. The friend was obsessed with gambling and embezzling public funds, and owed a lot of debts, such as hot spike Takamachi who threw bait, helped Suruga pay off his debts, and invited him to work in his company.
To anyone, Hotaka's friendship with Naoyuki Suruga is sacred, however, no one can imagine that there is a huge conspiracy behind him.
Later, Hotaka Makoto became pregnant by playing with women, and with his kindness to Naoyuki Suruga, he asked him to persuade pregnant women to have abortions many times, including the woman who Naoyuki Suruga once had a crush on and was kidnapped by him halfway.
Human sin is only the first time and countless times, and this sentence is vividly reflected in Sui Gaocheng.
Junko is the woman who was once crushed by Naoyuki Suruga, and she beat up the child for Hotaka Makoto because he promised her that she would marry her, but he secretly got engaged to another woman.
Disheartened, Junko commits suicide by taking poison at Hotaru's home, the day before his wedding.
In order not to affect the progress of the wedding, Hotaka instructed Naoyuki Suruga to remove the body and ordered Suruga to help him take care of everything. If one day Junko's death is found on their heads, Suruga will not only bear the false accusations, but also guard the cold body of the woman he likes.
Friendship is so, love is even more so, cool and thin nature in the human heart, not for people.
Hotaru Makoto married a well-known innocent poet, Miwako Kamabayashi, who is nearly ten years younger than Hotaru, but he does not marry simply for beauty. For him, for a middle-aged man like him who has achieved fame, a woman can be said to be a call, a quasi-son is one, and the agent Yukisasa Kaori is one.
He married Miwako, on the one hand, he saw her talent, if only the partnership is not strong, only by tying Miwako to his side, is the most reliable resource. On the other hand, he has a big plan for Miwako's poems and wants to make them into movies in the future.
All this can only be accomplished if Miwako is kept in check. Feelings, love, for him is just the spice of life, and does not need to be deliberately cared for.
When Keigo Higashino portrayed this character, he portrayed his nature in many layers and scenes, which made Hotaka Makoto's cool and thin personality jump on the paper, and also laid the groundwork for the subsequent murder of him.
