As a friend who often plays together in the circle, Liu Tao understands Sister Chen.
Although she doesn't have a special liking for mystery novels, her appreciation level is above average.
Sister Chen said that the book that was absolutely amazing must be a mystery novel with an upper-middle quality. This kind of novel was worthy of his visit, and it happened that he and Xu Guangzheng had a little get-together.
By the time Sister Chen got home, Liu Tao and Xu Guangzheng had already drank.
The wine Liu Tao got from the store was cooked in their home.
As a B&B owner, Liu Tao is unique in both of these things. However, his dress today is a bit interesting. He is wearing a suit, carrying a cane, and just holding a pipe in his hand. This is his little hobby.
Liu Tao said this is called immersion.
Mystery novels only seem interesting when you are immersed in them.
As soon as Sister Chen entered the door, Liu Tao pulled out a chair, greeted Sister Chen to sit down with the standard service of a waiter in a French restaurant, placed the tableware, and poured wine for Sister Chen himself. Sister Chen almost thought this was not her home.
Sister Chen said: "This standard is too high."
"It's not high, it's not high. As long as the books are good, what's the standard? It's not high at all."
Liu Tao couldn't wait to sit down, "Where's the book you said amazed me?"
Xu Guangzheng was also curious, "Yes, what kind of mystery novel surprised Old Liu and whetted his appetite."
Sister Chen is the one who doesn’t pay attention to the popular "Mahu Killing" that was aired some time ago.
"It's in my bag."
Sister Chen took a bite of the dish. The dish was well cooked. Liu Tao's cooking skills are getting better and better.
Liu Tao was going to get it, but suddenly felt that it was not good for him to go through the women's bag, so he looked at Xu Guangzheng and gave Xu Guangzheng a wink.
Xu Guangzheng stood up with a smile and took the bag over.
There was a stack of manuscript papers in the bag, scattered and held with a clip. He took it out and looked at it. There was only "Murder on the Orient Express" on the cover, and the author didn't write anything on it.
He turned over it and said, "That's it?"
It's too frivolous, it's probably a mystery novella.
He turned over to the back.
"Hey, hey, hey."
Liu Tao stopped him. For mystery lovers, the biggest taboo in reading mystery novels is to look at the back. You can't even take a glance at it. If you take a glance at it, you may regret it for the rest of your life.
Xu Guangzheng said: "Let me help you see if you have finished writing."
He also looked at the pictures in the group, and the stack of manuscript paper in the pictures was quite thick.
Sister Chen took a bite of food and said slowly: "The following is our company's film and television drama contract."
Xu Guangzheng handed the book to Liu Tao, "Does your company still plan to make movies and TV series?"
"Just Qing Ning's husband's script."
"I remember it's a love drama? Is that okay? Don't waste it. True love can't be so expensive."
The Great Demon King Xu Guangzheng might as well let her husband continue to write books at a small cost. How good are the fairy tales? He suddenly thought thoughtfully, "He also wrote this book?"
This is interesting. An epistolary novel, a fairy tale, and now a mystery, are you going to write science fiction in the next one?
"You won't find someone to write for you, right?"
"Anyway, people write it. You have to have evidence for ghostwriting. Find the person who wrote it and find the evidence that the person wrote it, right?"
Xu Guangzheng thought it was right.
At that time, some people still questioned "The Wind Rises" and "Old Friend" was not written by Li Qingning, but was written by someone else. Some even said that it was Li Qingning's fucking work. In addition to receiving letters from lawyers and having to apologize and make amends, these people also
Every time Big Devil releases an original album and an original single, people will ridicule them in their tweets, "Look, Big Devil has hired someone to write for him again."
"Sister Chen——"
Liu Tao felt something was wrong. He glanced at the front and asked, "Are you sure this is all the manuscripts?"
Sister Chen smiled, "Then look and see if there is an ending at the end?"
"I--"
Liu Tao looked at the manuscript paper and decided to forget it.
He glanced at the beginning and found a lot of scattered information for reasoning. This information will play a vital role in the composition and reasoning. This is indeed a mystery novel worth reading.
With some mystery novels, you can tell whether they are good or not as soon as you read the beginning.
Liu Tao stood up and said goodbye.
He likes to be alone and indulge in reasoning.
Xu Guangzheng asked him to stay, "You don't want to eat?"
"No."
Liu Tao left without looking back, and Xu Guangzheng had no time to get up and see him off.
Sister Chen reminded Xu Guangzheng, with a clear meaning, "When you buy breakfast tomorrow, remember to buy more."
After washing up after dinner, Xu Guang was sitting on the sofa reading a book. Sister Chen went downstairs and came back with a stack of manuscript papers that she had put in the car.
When Xu Guangzheng saw it, he already knew this, "I knew you buttoned up the back."
What Liu Tao took away was only the part that Sister Chen had read in the morning.
"Who made him dare not look at the back?"
Sister Chen had already known that Liu Tao had a strong sense of ritual in mystery novels. He despised spoilers the most in his life, and he was determined not to be a spoiler. When he married his wife, they swore a marriage oath that if they violated this oath, they would be punished in the future.
If you read the book or watch the show, it will be spoiled.
Xu Guangzheng smiled and shook his head.
He remembered that when he was a child, he and his brothers would tear apart a martial arts book and read it part by part.
The two of them stopped talking and each quietly read the books in their hands.
only--
Sister Chen frowned more and more as she read. She thought this book was good. She put all the evidence in front of her and let the detective and the reader solve the case together. The detective didn't know more than the reader, but the reader could really get through it.
Sister Chen is really addicted to reasoning, and she really plans to show off her skills. She also took out the paper, kept sorting out the characters, wrote down the testimonies of the characters, followed the testimonies to find the murderer, and even overturned the murderer she thought.
But--
After some reasoning, everyone's testimonies can prove each other's absence. So who is the murderer?
Sister Chen was confused.
Xu Guangzheng stood up and said, "It's time to go to bed."
"Um."
Sister Chen responded absentmindedly, not hearing what she wanted to do at all.
Xu Guangzheng went to pull Sister Chen, "What's wrong?"
"This book is a little weird."
Sister Chen vaguely felt that there was a window paper there, but she couldn't break it.
Xu Guangzheng: "Has it happened that after reasoning for a long time, the author has no choice but to use mechanical magic?"
Sister Chen is still afraid of this.
In order to make the ending of many mystery novels surprising enough, whether it is a plot or a detective's investigation, it is as unbelievable as possible. It has one purpose - to make you unaware. Then some authors cannot come back from it.
Now, at this time, only one clue or character can be airborne.
That's quite boring.
"Okay, okay."
Xu Guangzheng pulled Sister Chen into the bedroom. She had to pay the public food tonight. After rustling in the room, Sister Chen came out again in her pajamas and took the manuscript paper into the room. She had to finish reading the book.
Just like a TV series, the finale is about to come to an end, and I always feel empty after watching it.
Xu Guangzheng was lying on his body after washing, and said with conviction: "I am still thinking about this book. No wonder you are not in the right state."
If this were normal, there would be no way he could stand up to his three axes.
Sister Chen sat on the bed and asked him to sleep first while she took a look.
Xu Guangzheng fell asleep quickly, and Sister Chen gradually saw the climax, and suddenly discovered that everyone in this carriage, except for the detective, was all related to the Armstrong family, and the murderer was——
