She thinks Jiang Yang's new book is quite disappointing.
Of course, this is compared to "Murder on the Orient Express", not to a newbie like Ding Lu.
For Ding Lu, Teacher Jiang Yang’s new work still has a lot to learn from.
It can only be said that because of Liu Tao, she had high expectations and now there is a huge psychological gap.
but--
The sudden appearance of "Dr. Shepard closed the book and felt that Poirot was nothing more than that" appeared at the end of the book, which made Ding Lu think that she might be able to look forward to the next book. After all, what Jiang Yang said through the mouth of this Dr. Shepard proved that
He knew the shortcomings of "The Mysterious Case at Styles Manor".
However, Ding Lu did not wait to open "Roger's Mystery".
She is the kind of person who likes to save the good things until the end and enjoy them slowly.
It's dusk now, and the setting sun is setting on the balcony.
A leisurely stroll visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Yang is such a big liar!
"Grass!"
Who among this group has this ability to tell stories of deceit?
Ding Lu didn't think too much. She continued reading and soon discovered the difference between the two books.
Ding Lu's eyes widened, her hair stood on end, and she silently muttered "Holy shit!"
Only one time!
but--
If she had thought of this trick and written a novel in the first person, making "I" the murderer, she might be the grandmaster now!
After walking around in a circle, she suddenly saw the takeout on the table, "Hey, when did I get the takeout?"
I can only say that Sherlock Holmes is truly a classic and very influential.
no!
"So stupid?"
Ding Lu simply stopped guessing.
Ding Lu felt she had been betrayed!
There are many more cases of this kind of concealment in the book, such as when Poirot sends Dr. Shepard away to visit his sister.
In the book, readers become Poirot’s fictional crazy nephew!
There are also many authors who marvel that mystery novels can be written like this, "Why didn't I think of that!"
What else are you cooking?
Ding Lu looked at these and "The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor" next to it, and felt that the cover of "The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor" was mocking her: "You are stupid, I am just teasing you, I really want to be a master."
What's this level? Didn't you see what Shepard said in the last picture?"
However, before she could get too embarrassed, she was completely immersed in the book.
She suddenly felt that this sentence was wrong. If there was no "Roger Mystery" and I told someone this routine and asked someone to write it, who could write it?
Just then, her cell phone rang.
"The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor."
Poirot: "...In fact, this person is Dr. Sheppard!"
Ding Lu couldn't help hearing what he said.
The protagonist is Shepard, a doctor, and the story is narrated in the first person. There is nothing surprising about this.
This is the voice spoken by Lao Zuo. You can clearly hear the trembling and excitement in his tone, as if he has read some shocking book. This tone is particularly like - when Liu Tao saw this book, he called
The tone of her phone call.
As Shepard said in his confession before committing suicide in the book: "I am quite satisfied with my writing... See, it's all true."
After the readers know the murderer, they look back and see that the story is reasonable and reasonable. It turns out that the author has already given all the clues with careful Thousand Miles of Lines, leaving the reader to make inferences.
This should also be a point of suspicion.
Lao Zuo was really right, this is definitely a pioneering novel.
It was late at night and the takeaway was cold. She went to heat it up and then opened the chat software.
How can you still write like this!
Ding Lu was so jealous.
Lao Zuo: "Stop watching! Watch "Roger's Mystery" quickly. This is a ground-breaking work by a great master!"
She thought about it, and it seemed that when she was reading a novel, she heard the door knock, opened the door with the book, and took something out.
Ding Lu has calmed down now.
Then.
When Ding Lu listened to the voice, it was obvious that Lao Zuo couldn't find any adjectives, so there was a few seconds of speechlessness.
Read a book!
But no matter how they write it, Jiang Yang is the founder of this sect!!
Because this trick can only be used once, the earth-shattering shock, the spine-chilling exclamation, is like the explosion of the first atomic bomb! Like the first bite of swan meat eaten by a frog! Like a virgin touching the center of his soul.
Daobeng Group.
She believes that there will be countless mystery novels imitating it from now on.
Cheating!
She thought Lao Zuo was talking about "The Mysterious Case at Styles Manor" because it gave the key evidence in the end, which was indeed quite cheating.
An old author named Lao Zuo sent a message: "Holy shit, shit! Jiang Yang, really! It's so cheating!!"
She originally thought that this was a hook, hooking the reader's heart, making the reader look forward to the next book and can't wait to open the next book.
In "Roger's Mystery", because Shepard likes to read detective novels and has read "The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor", he felt that Poirot was nothing more than that, so when someone first asked Poirot to solve the case, he thanked him.
Pad is not positive!
Of course, Dr. Sheppard has other concealment points in the article.
It is absolutely amazing that a mystery novel can be read twice by a mystery author in a short period of time, even after knowing the murderer!
Ding Lu put the knife on the chopping board.
Ding Lu followed: "Yes."
However--
"Ouch!"
The suspense is created with ease, and although there are many characters, many of them appear vividly on the page.
Ding Lu thought that she had questioned Jiang Yang's obsession with women and even agreed to cheat in the group——
How can it be like this, how can it still be like this, how the hell can it still be written like this!!!
But he has the ability to keep readers from guessing the murderer!
She looked comfortable and at ease, and enjoyed the process of reasoning. However, one suspicion after another, and one by one elimination, Ding Lu guessed the suspect's motive and modus operandi, but she had no clue, and the story slowly
At the end——
For a writer to express such emotion shows how powerful this book is.
But why has there never been a novel comparable to "Roger Mystery" in the history of mystery novels?
But, that should have been a point of doubt!
But because of the last sentence of "The Mysterious Case at Styles Manor", readers did not trust Shepard.
Then!
Having said that, wouldn’t this be the same configuration as “The Mysterious Case at Styles Manor”?
Ding Lu was stupid.
But at the same time, Ding Lu couldn't help but marvel!
She is jealous.
damn it!
Ding Lu scratched her head, "Why didn't I think of writing this!!"
Lao Zuo: "It's not a question of whether he should be hanged or not, he is the kind of -"
Jiang Yang peeled off layers of cocoons without revealing the secret, so that she never guessed the murderer, and finally told her the murderer, making her scalp numb. Who in the group has this master-level technique?
Lao Zuo: "How hot is it? Why should this book be so hot?! I tell you, I'm kneeling down to read the book now! I'm convinced! How can I still write like this!! Why didn't I think of it? What did he think?
"
It's just that Hastings was replaced by a doctor——
She stood up, stretched, rubbed her neck, and planned to make dinner and watch "Roger Mystery" again.
Many of Sherlock Holmes' stories are narrated by Watson in the first person.
She concentrated on reading, wanting to find out who the murderer was.
It’s so embarrassing that I can’t help but live with someone downstairs.
She put the meat back into the refrigerator, took out two tomatoes, planned to make a simple tomato and egg soup, and then quickly read a book.
She found that many people in the group were amazed, but many people felt that Jiang Yang was cheating because this writing technique deceived readers, deceived their emotions, and trampled their IQs under their feet.
Another author added: "Yes, the book is a good book, not a masterpiece. The popularity is all due to his wife's hype."
Who can imagine the shock that Watson next to Holmes is the murderer!
It is now!
She ordered a takeaway for herself and brought over "Roger's Mystery".
Ding Lu stood up and couldn't help but swear. At this moment, only these words could express her language. She walked around the room, feeling betrayed and feeling that Jiang Yang was too rogue. This was simply cheating!
Because under first-person narration, readers inherently trust the first person!
Now, this book destroys that trust.
The author who just said that his popularity is all due to his wife: "Are we reading the same book?"
She followed Dr. Sheppard in the book, constantly collecting clues, and listening to Poirot's analysis of the case.
Ding Lu looked at a group of inference authors and editors.
Dareqing is a takeaway.
Lao Zuo: "What did you see?"
This Jiang Yang is too funny.
Has no one thought about using this technique to write novels in the past hundred years?
impossible.
The founding of a sect is never a matter of one thought.
At this moment, Lao Zuo sent another message, and his tone was much calmer this time, "This is an absolute pioneering work. Even the mystery writers in the island country will fall under this genre. Believe me, I will never
Bragging, because I am so jealous right now, I really want to go back to before yesterday, kill Jiang Yang, and write this magical book myself!! Forget it, I won’t talk about it anymore, I want to read it again.”
As for what ability?
Jiang Yang asked Shepard to appear early at the end of "The Mysterious Case at Styles Manor", which was definitely part of the plan!
What a cheat!
Ding Lu's eyes widened.
It's like Jiang Yang is telling the readers, "Did you see it?" It's all the truth!
It was hard for her to imagine that these two books were actually works written by the same writer at the same time. Although "The Mysterious Case at Styles Manor" had the style of a master, it was immature; while in this book, it had been completely read.
No longer childish.
But a suspect happens to appear and draws the reader's attention away.
All these things made Ding Lu think about it now and she was completely convinced.
She felt that she really needed to read this book again to see how the author played with the readers.
She was about to speak in the group. Lao Zuo spoke: "Whether you think the author cheated by using the first-person perspective, or regret that you didn't think of it, if you have read dozens or hundreds of mystery novels, you will understand.
The person who can write "Roger's Mystery" must be a master."
