Before the latest episode of "Love Song Concert" was broadcast, Jiang Yuan basically lived a life of two points and one line.
My daily schedule is very regular. If I can get up in the morning, I will stay at home and watch movies, or I will just sleep until noon.
In the afternoon, I will definitely go to the company to take vocal lessons, and then stay in the practice room to rehearse the songs to be sung in the semi-finals.
By the way, Jiang Yuan also sent a message to the editor-in-chief of Yuedian Library.
"The Devotion of Suspect X" has been completed, and Jiang Yuan wanted to see if there were any suitable awards for submission.
"Are you there?" Jiang Yuan sent a message and asked.
When Yang Chao was at work, he received the message. He frowned subconsciously. The most annoying thing was that someone asked if he was here, but seeing that it was a promising author like Albums, he replied quickly.
"Here." At the same time, Yang Chao was also a little curious about what Jiang Yuan could do to him.
There was still more than half a month left before the final selection of the Fantasy Starlight Cup. Yang Chao never imagined that Jiang Yuan was looking for him because of his new book.
"I have a new book that I would like to consult about." Jiang Yuan sent a message.
"New book? Has it been written? What type is it? How long is it approximately?" Yang Chao sent several questions in succession.
Albums, a new novelist, is already regarded as a very talented new writer in Yang Chao's mind after publishing a book like "Magic City Fortress".
But I think Jiang Yuan has already completed the work, so it won’t be too late to take a look at it for yourself before making a judgment.
Seeing Yang Chao's reply, Jiang Yuan found the final version of "Suspect X" on his computer and sent it to Yang Chao.
As the story continues to advance, the truth is gradually revealed, and the core conspiracy is slowly revealed before the readers' eyes.
"The Domestic Mystery Association holds a Mystery Association Novel Award. Only mystery novels can be submitted. This award is evaluated once a year just like the Starlight Cup. The awards are divided into novel awards and short story awards."
Mystery type? Yang Chao couldn’t figure out that the last book was still a science fiction romance, and the next one will be a mystery category.
After reading the first chapter, Yang Chao took a breath, it was a little different from what he imagined.
Yang Chao didn't react for a while.
In fact, Jiang Yuan also thought about whether he needed to postpone before submitting, but when he thought of the ultimate task given by the system, Jiang Yuan gave up the idea of postponement.
Although I wanted to persuade Jiang Yuan to concentrate on the creation of a category of works, and not get close to the big pit of reasoning.
"In fact, many awards are suitable for submissions of mystery works, but it is difficult to see outstanding mystery novels winning."
Yang Chao continued reading, immersed in the world of the book and moved on.
As Keigo Higashino's masterpiece, "Suspect X" was a hit and received many awards.
"Yes, yes, but only novels published within this year can sign up to participate in the award selection." Yang Chao thought for a while and replied.
Yang Chao briefly explained to Jiang Yuan the awards suitable for submission.
After reading Jiang Yuan's last book, I subconsciously thought that Jiang Yuan could not write good mystery novels.
But after reading the first chapter, Yang Chao felt that his expectations could be slightly higher.
Jiang Yuan looked at the description of the award sent by Yang Chao. Although it seemed difficult to win the award, Jiang Yuan had enough confidence in "The Devotion of Suspect X".
Yang Chao looked at the message from Jiang Yuan and nodded. It turned out to be a new book.
Good mystery novels are very fun to read.
Mystery novels can basically be regarded as a big pitfall, and there are not many well-written ones. Just like this time, there was not a single mystery novel in the preliminary round of the Fantasy Starlight Cup.
Yang Chao never expected that a new book would come so quickly. How many days had it been since the last book "Magic City Fortress"?
There is no need to slow down, Jiang Yuan said that he is a career buff, and anyone who can't live with his career is at risk with his own life.
What the male protagonist Shi Shen did next was beyond Yang Chao's imagination. He actually set up a puzzle to help the female protagonist escape the crime.
"I would like to ask if there are any awards that are more suitable for submission." Jiang Yuan sent a new message.
With such a hearty reading experience, Yang Chao couldn't stop at all.
It’s not that I have any prejudice against mystery works, it’s just that as the editor-in-chief, Yang Chao has really not seen many excellent mystery works in recent years.
Yang Chao is also looking forward to the next book in the album. Generally, for such a talented author, the second book may take off immediately.
"In addition to some awards for popular novels, there are also special awards for mystery novels in China."
"Although the competition for this award is not as fierce as the competition for popular awards, it is still very difficult to win because only one novel or short story will be selected among the many submitted works in a year."
"Can I still submit for this year's Mystery Association Novel Award?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Wait, new book?
Read chapter after chapter, the plots are intertwined, each plot is so exquisitely designed, almost every chapter can give Yang Chao different surprises.
After looking at Jiang Yuan's new news, Yang Chao thought about it for a while.
The novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" is different from other detective works in guessing who the murderer is in that the reader is told who the murderer is at the very beginning of the story.
After Yang Chao received the document, he was stunned for a moment. Although Jiang Yuan may win the Fantasy Starlight Cup award next, Yang Chao will still review it with high standards when reasoning about this category.
And with Jiang Yuan’s writing style, the book won’t be too ugly? Maybe it’s okay?
Yang Chao shook his head, shook the thoughts out of his mind, and began to answer Jiang Yuan's questions.
"The Devotion of Suspect X?" Yang Chao read the title of the book.
"The manuscript has been completed so far. The new book is a mystery type and is about the same length as the previous one, about 100,000 words." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and replied.
The back-and-forth game between Shi Shen, the police and detectives caused Yang Chao's mood to fluctuate along with the plot.
Seeing Jiang Yuan's reply, Yang Chao's excitement calmed down a little, and then he frowned.
Judging from the title of the book, it seemed pretty good, but I didn’t know what the content was. Yang Chao clicked on the document and started reading.
After reading until the last chapter and the last line, Yang Chao's expression was filled with shock.
As editor-in-chief, he has reviewed many books, but there are only a few novels that can give him such a reading experience.
After reading "The Devotion of Suspect X", Yang Chao even had the idea that he was honored to be the first to read this book.
