After being stunned for a few seconds, Huang Xinjie realized that almost the entire book was narrated from the first-person perspective.
Therefore, she has full trust in the role of Shepard and has never been included in the suspect list.
After the shock wears off, continue turning the pages.
In the chapter titled The Clouds Clear and the Fog Disperses, all the truth comes to light.
The last chapter, titled Confessions, directly states that the entire book is the first person "I", Shepard's manuscript.
"Can you still write it like this?" Huang Xinjie was amazed.
She was still thinking about where the shocking reversal mentioned by major reading bloggers would happen, but she didn't expect it to land in this place.
What's even more unexpected is that I was actually deceived from the beginning.
But this kind of deception does not make people feel aggrieved at all.
Because before the truth is revealed, almost all the clues have been given in the previous article.
Even after knowing the truth, I re-read the previous article and can even see that the author has given strong hints in many paragraphs.
The shocking reading experience at the end made Huang Xinjie feel even more contented.
I never thought that a conspiracy could be written like this. Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with those book bloggers saying that this book created a new genre of reasoning.
The core of "Roger's Mystery" lies in the narrative trick, that is, the narrative trick, which was pioneered by Grandma and triggered a trend of imitation.
Since then, many mystery novels and even film and television works have borrowed this technique.
"Malevolence", one of Keigo Higashino's four masterpieces, was written using a narrative technique, and the movie "Warrior" starring Chow Yun-fat also used similar processing techniques.
When this technique was first presented in a work, the reading experience it brought to readers was quite explosive.
Before Jiang Yuan's time travel, although this book was regarded as a classic, many readers, although reading this book for the first time, had seen this technique elsewhere, so their senses were not so explosive.
But in this parallel world, this is Xu Wei's debut.
Lei Xiwei had just finished reading "Roger's Mystery" and looked at the time. It was already early morning. Thinking of the time difference, he dialed Huang Xinjie's phone.
"Have you finished watching "Roger's Mystery"?" Lei Xiwei asked excitedly as soon as the phone call came through.
Huang Xinjie was equally excited, "I finished watching it, it's so awesome..."
After the sisters shared their feelings with each other, Huang Xinjie once again said to Lei Xiwei, "You can read this author's last book "Suspect X", which is also very explosive. The English translation has been released and you should be able to buy it.
.”
"I'll go to the bookstore tomorrow to check it out." After hanging up the phone, Lei Xiwei found it hard to imagine that one night he would be so shocked by a mystery novel that he couldn't sleep.
But I have to say that this reading experience is very fascinating, as if I have found the same shock as when I was a child watching detective anime and knowing the truth.
The difference is that when I was a child, I couldn't see so many details and couldn't guess the truth, so I was shocked;
Now, she has read "The Roger Mystery" completely, but the truth is still unexpected, so it is even more shocking.
This is the first day of the official launch of "Roger Mystery", the first appearance of the narrative trick, coupled with the marketing and publicity of Yuedian Library.
"Roger's Mystery" broke the domestic scene that day and was directly on Weibo's hot search list.
Although Jiang Yuan often appears on hot searches, it is because Jiang Yuan has a high traffic volume and a large number of fans, so it is normal for him to often appear on hot searches.
But "Roger's Mystery", as a new book that has just been on the market for less than a day, has become a hot search topic, which means it has made a big breakthrough.
The hot search term is # Roger’s Suspect was deceived#
It aroused heated discussion to a certain extent.
[I just finished reading it. I don’t know what to say. Anyway, I was blown away. I haven’t read such a great mystery work in recent years.]
[The last time such a great reversal was in "Suspect X", the album has become a god. 】
[It’s amazing to write such a book. I was deceived the whole time, but I felt so good when I was deceived!]
[This wave of Chinese reasoning has become a direct branch. This is the first time I have seen this writing method. Is it considered a new genre? It cannot be justified without winning several awards. 】
[The detective Poirot is written so well, and it feels like he is going to write a series, so look forward to it.]
[I recommend that passers-by who come across this entry go directly to buy a novel and read it. This way you can get the most shocking reading experience, and you will come back to thank me. ]
Under related terms, the discussion level is not low, and the hot search ranking is also rising steadily.
At the same time, Jiang Yuan's Weibo, where he had indirectly posted the physical book of "Roger's Mystery", was found again and was linked to this entry.
Yang Chaoyou paid close attention to the response on various platforms after the release of "Roger Mystery" in real time. In addition to being a hot search on Weibo, forums for mystery novel enthusiasts also became abuzz with the book.
A new book discussion thread has already received hundreds of comments in less than an hour.
[Another heaven-defying trick, two books to confer the title of god!]
[I was completely shocked when I read the last part. Please hurry up and read it before you get too excited, otherwise it will be spoiled!]
[It has become popular. I went to the hot search next door and saw a Weibo post that directly exposed the murderer. Fortunately, I finished reading it. 】
[This book is so awesome. All I can say is that it can actually open up a new genre. The writing is really wonderful.]
[It was spoiled in advance, and I wanted to curse after reading it, but it was still very well written. It would have been more explosive if it had not been spoiled! 】
Yang Chao clicked on the post and looked at it, basically it was well received by everyone.
The mystery novel forum has relevant rules, and the plot cannot be discussed in spoiler-free posts. However, there will also be a special plot exchange thread, and Yang Chao also clicked on it to take a look.
[It’s really weird to think that the writing of the narrative is really weird, and it’s not just a pure lie. It basically stated the case truthfully, and at the same time, it also left clues for people to guess. It was a fairly fair reasoning competition, but it’s a pity that I didn’t guess it.
.]
[Not to mention the shocking operation of narrative and trickery, the strict logic and foreshadowing of the entire book can definitely be regarded as the best of the best in terms of original reasoning. 】
[I read it because the whole book was leaked, but I really saw the cleverness of the whole book. In fact, there are hints everywhere, but each character has concealment and criminal motives, but even if there are fewer surprises, a little bit
The reading experience of restoring the full picture of the file is also very good.】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [I finished reading it as soon as possible without being spoiled, I feel so lucky.]
[Who would have thought that the murderer was Shepard? This is the first novel I have read in which the murderer is a detective assistant.]
[I feel that this album should be written as a series. Several paragraphs in the book mention that Poirot is already a relatively well-known detective, and the name Hastings is blindly guessed to be Poirot's assistant.]
Seeing that "Roger Mystery" has such high popularity and critical acclaim in specialized groups, Yang Chao was completely relieved.
Now, all we have to do is wait for "Roger Mystery" to continue to gain popularity, sell well, and then win awards.
Related hot searches on Weibo quickly reached the top of the entertainment rankings.
After all, it was his own book, so Jiang Yuan simply retweeted the relevant book on Weibo and recommended it, with the simple four-word text "very stunning."
After the Weibo post was posted, another new topic immediately came up - #江元alsoreads "Roger Mystery"#
The popularity of books has soared again, ranking first in book searches on related rating software and shopping software.
Sales have been rising along with the popularity, and it was a big hit on the first day. After the corner of Yang Chao's mouth rose, he never put it down.
In the evening of that day, Jiang Yuan attended the closing banquet of "The Temptation of Going Home".
He Jing sat next to Jiang Yuan and stared at Jiang Yuan again and again.
Jiang Yuan felt a little uncomfortable, "What's wrong?"
He Jing pointed to the shopping order on his mobile phone, which was the order record for "Roger's Mystery", "I'm just curious where you got your time from. You just published a new book without saying a word."
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, "Time is like a sponge..."
"Pull it down, I can't squeeze out anyway." He Jing shook his head.
Jiang Yuan pondered for a few seconds and then said, "There is no woman in my heart..."
He Jing was silent for a moment and waved his hand, "I'll just treat you as a pervert."
"Let's talk about serious matters. I've almost talked about the broadcast platform." He Jing continued.
Jiang Yuan was a little surprised, "So fast?"
The filming was only completed yesterday, and the broadcast platform was almost finalized today.
"Actually, they have been paying attention to it before it was started. I contacted them yesterday and Penguin TV offered the best conditions," He Jing said.
"Then you discuss it with Sister Qing and the others and decide." Jiang Yuan said.
"Okay." He Dingding nodded.
Jiang Yuan looked at Wen Zhixian who was sitting on the other side of him, looking like he was hesitant to speak, so he took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"
"It's like this. I'm going to hold a fan meeting in a while, and my manager asked me to ask if I can invite you to be a guest?" Moon Ji-hyun asked slightly embarrassed.
Although he knew Moon Ji-hyun very well, Jiang Yuan still answered conservatively, "Well, you can send me the time for the meeting first, and I will discuss it with the agent."
"Okay." Wen Zhixian smiled and nodded.
After a while, Song Ya also came over with a wine glass and chatted with Jiang Yuan for a few words.
The wedding banquet is both a celebration and a social event.
Most of the actors in the crew came over to clink glasses with Jiang Yuan. Fortunately, Jiang Yuan's glass was filled with Coke, so he didn't get drunk.
After the closing banquet was over, Jiang Yuan left the scene immediately.
He Jing and several other main creative staff will have many opportunities to meet each other when promoting the TV series.
After getting into the nanny car, Jiang Yuan took out a lot of business cards from his pocket.
Most of the staff members who were not familiar with each other on the set came to hand over their business cards, and Jiang Yuan handed them all to Zhang Qing.
In terms of human relations, both Zhang Qing and Jiang Yuan handled it very well. Basically, they would write down important business cards, and would send albums or blessings during New Years or when albums were released.
This is why some staff members who have worked with Jiang Yuan feel like they are remembered.
Jiang Yuan has maintained a good reputation in the industry for more than half a year.
"You shouldn't have left any other business cards of this type, right?" Zhang Qing picked out a business card and asked warily.
Jiang Yuan took a closer look and realized that in addition to the information that should be on the business card, there was also some information that shouldn't be there.
The purpose is self-evident.
Jiang Yuan immediately shook his head, "How is that possible?"
Zhang Qing still didn't let down her guard, and personally delivered Jiang Yuan to her doorstep, "There is a flight to Qinzhou tomorrow morning, so go to bed early."
Although Jiang Yuan has been doing well in the past few months, he was in love almost every month for the past three years.
You have been single for more than half a year now, so don’t be tempted.
Jiang Yuan really didn't leave any business cards. When he got home, he opened the system and reviewed the achievements that the publication of "Roger's Mystery" had brought to him.
Published simultaneously in Chinese and English, it earned a total of two thousand achievement points, and there were also unexpected surprises.
In the system's judgment, this is indeed the world's first serious narrative and reasoning book, and once again gained 1,500 achievement points.
The achievement points alone can make a golden treasure chest if you put it together.
After the review, Jiang Yuan was still satisfied with the harvest.
After all, the harvest brought by this publication is only a small part. In the long run, the awards are the big part.
After all, "Roger's Mystery" was a world-famous mystery novel in its previous life, and Jiang Yuan was very confident in it.
There was a flight tomorrow morning, so Jiang Yuan went to bed directly after taking a shower.
After Jiang Yuan fell asleep, a storm arose in "Roger's Mystery" on the other side of the ocean.
Due to the time difference, "Roger Mystery" was actually released overseas earlier.
On the second day after its listing, the special bookstore exhibition brought a certain amount of traffic, attracting several Internet celebrities to check in, and it occupied a small section in the literary and art newspaper.
It just so happened that Karl, a famous reasoning expert, saw this section and found it quite interesting.
At the same time, Joanna, editor of the English version of "Roger Mystery", sent a book to Carl's studio, and Carl happened to see the book in the studio that day.
Out of curiosity, I opened it and read it.
After reading it, I felt amazed and even had a lot of new thoughts about the new book that I had been stuck on.
Then, after reading the editor’s recommendation letter, I made a recommendation on my own social platform.
[The best mystery story and the best trick I have read in the past year. Thank you to this mystery writer from China for inspiring me and giving me ideas for my new book. This is really the best day!]
As a famous reasoning expert, Carl has a certain status among reasoning fans all over the world.
Basically every work has sold millions of copies, and his representative works have sold more than 10 million copies.
Such a recommendation uses several bests in succession, and also mentions my new book.
The recommendation effect was excellent. The tweet was posted at noon. In the afternoon, many mystery fans went to the bookstore to buy "Roger Mystery".
After everyone read it, they opened posts to recommend it, or left messages under Karl’s post.
Carl's tweet successfully sold thousands more copies of the book, and this was just the beginning.
Readers who have read "Roger's Mystery" spontaneously began to recommend it, and there are already ratings on relevant rating platforms.
Out of 5 points, it scored a high score of 4.9.
In just one afternoon, Joanna was surprised to discover that "Roger Mystery" became a hit!
The response "Roger Mystery" received abroad and the news that it was recommended by Carl were brought back to China again.
Immediately, the popularity reached a higher level, becoming a hit at home and abroad at the same time!
