"Mr. Downing, I am Sophia Taylor. George Taylor, who was killed on the same train with you, is my father!" That day, a blond beauty came to Tangning and introduced herself.
"Oh, hello, Miss Taylor, what do you want from me?" Tangning asked casually.
"I want to ask you, did you notice anything wrong with my father's affair when you were on the train?" Sophia asked.
Tangning replied as she had previously answered Sergeant Klein: "I didn't find anything, because I was very tired before getting in the car, so I slept very deeply."
"But you have written so many stories, so you must be very sensitive to this kind of incident. It's impossible that you haven't discovered anything at all!" Sophia insisted.
"But that's the fact!" Tangning shrugged, and then asked curiously: "Ms. Taylor, are you questioning the police's conclusion?"
"I'm not questioning it, but I don't believe it at all!" Sophia replied in a deep voice.
Then he added: "Because I discovered that everyone in that carriage except you, Mr. Tangning, is my father's enemy!"
When Sophia said this, Tangning was immediately shocked: "What?! Are they all your father's enemies?"
Sofia replied awkwardly: "Well, because of my father's career, more people have misunderstandings about him!"
Then he immediately changed the subject and said, "But Mr. Tangning, don't you think it's abnormal for a carriage full of his enemies, and he also died in this carriage, how do you make me believe that the murderer is
foreign?"
At this time, Tang Ning's mind came to the classic work "Murder on the Orient Express" by "Queen of Detectives" Agatha Christie. No wonder she felt familiar when she saw the different shades of knife incisions on Taylor's body.
"But you are just a suspicion, there is no evidence!" Tang Ning replied with a frown.
"So I'm not here to consult you!" Sophia said smoothly.
"It's a pity that I really can't help you!" Tangning said, spreading her hands.
"No, I believe you can definitely help me..."
Before Sophia could finish her words, Tangning interrupted: "I'm sorry, first of all, I am not a policeman and have no right to investigate the case; secondly, I am not as smart as the protagonist in the story, so even if I want to help you, I may not be able to help you.
Got it; finally I’ve been really busy lately!”
After Tang Ning finished speaking, Sophia smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Tang Ning, I know that I was too abrupt and presumptuous today, and I also know that you are very busy, so I never thought about asking you to help me investigate this case!
"
Sophia's answer made Tangning feel very embarrassed, because she was a little pretentious, so she awkwardly asked, "I'm sorry, Miss Taylor, but what do you need me to do for you?"
"I heard that you had a cooperation model with the "New Orleans Express" before, which allowed some new writers to borrow your name to publish their works as co-authors to increase their reputation. I also have an article I just wrote here,
See if you can help me too!" Sophia explained.
Hearing what Sophia said, Tangning felt very embarrassed, because he didn't expect that his cooperation with Lai Wen would be so public? It seemed that he had to talk to Lai Wen about this matter, and he would have to do less of this kind of thing in the future.
So he shied away: "But this has nothing to do with finding the truth about Mr. Taylor's death, right?"
"It does matter. You will know after reading this article. I want to test the reactions of these suspects by publishing this article!" Sophia explained.
Tangning took the manuscript and took a look at it. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Miss Taylor, this, was this written by you?"
In fact, it's no wonder that Tang Ning couldn't help but exclaim, because Sophia's "Murder on the Train" is basically exactly the same as Grandma's "Murder on the Orient Express". Even Tang Ning was a little suspicious of whether Sophia was also a time traveler.
Already......
Sophia nodded sheepishly and replied: "I didn't write well, please forgive me, Mr. Tangning! In fact, my original intention of writing this article was to express my suspicions about them, and then observe what they think after reading this article.
If their reaction is abnormal, it means my guess is correct, and then I can consider calling the police or using other means to investigate them!"
Then he added: "But I have to rely on your influence, Mr. Tangning, otherwise it would be difficult for me to publish it, so I came to seek your help!"
Tangning suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right. Well, I can help you with this!"
"Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Tangning!" Sophia said excitedly.
"Actually, you don't need to thank me, because with the quality of this article, even without my name, I believe it will be published successfully and get everyone's love and recognition! And I think Miss Taylor, you are very talented in this area, and you can do it in the future
Consider continuing to create this style of work!" Tangning encouraged.
Unexpectedly, Sophia shook her head and replied: "Mr. Tangning, you are too complimentary. I don't have the talent in this area. This story is because I want to investigate the truth behind my father's murder. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to think of such murderous techniques and stories."
, so I admire your imagination very much, Mr. Tangning!"
"Actually, many of my stories are based on real events, so you don't have to admire my imagination!" Tang Ning explained.
Originally, Tangning thought that the reporter would accept such a wonderful story without hesitation, but unexpectedly, after reading it, the reporter frowned and asked Tangning: "Tony, this is your case against Taylor's lawyer."
The results of the investigation?”
Tangning shook her head and replied, "No, actually this was written by Miss Taylor, lawyer Taylor's daughter..." Then, Tangning recounted the entire incident and the communication.
The author thought for a while and then replied: "In fact, judging from this article alone, it is definitely worth publishing, and I believe the response will be good. However, if this article is published now, it will inevitably not remind everyone of the previous lawyer Taylor incident.
, and with his reputation, Tony, you have to make some preparations!"
Tangning was already prepared for this: "I know this, but it doesn't matter. Can I write without fear of others talking about it?"
PS: Recommend the book "I traveled through time after the ending of Love Saint". Don't be fooled by the title. In fact, this is a stand-alone development game book. Many old authors are becoming more and more casual in their naming. If
If a newcomer chooses a book title like this, the chance of being cheated is too high...
