Chapter 110 Can’t sleep at night
As a friend who often plays together in the same circle, Liu Tao knows Sister Chen.
Although she is not particularly fond of mystery novels, she appreciates them at an above-average level.
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.
Liu Tao took the wine from the store and the food was cooked in their home.
As a B&B owner, Liu Tao is good at both. However, his dress today is a bit interesting. He is wearing a suit and carrying a cane, except for holding a pipe in his hand. This is his little hobby.
Liu Tao said this is called immersion.
Only when you are immersed in it, mystery novels seem interesting enough.
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."
"Not high, not high. As long as the book is good, what does this standard mean? 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 take the hit “Mahu Killing” in her eyes.
“It’s in my bag.”
Sister Chen took a bite of the dish. The dish was well cooked, and Liu Tao's cooking skills were getting better and better.
Liu Tao was going to get it, but suddenly felt that it was not good for him to look through women's bags, 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, which were scattered and clamped. He took them out and looked at them. There was only "Murder on the Orient Express" on the cover, and the author didn't write anything on it.
He turned over the page 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 taboo in reading mystery novels is to look at the back. You can't even look at the back. If you take a glance, 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. The pile 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 was a love drama? Can it be done? Don’t waste it. True love can’t be so expensive.”
Xu Guangzheng, the Great Demon King, might as well let her husband continue to write books at a small cost. The fairy tales are so well written. He suddenly thought thoughtfully, "He also wrote this book?"
This is interesting. An epistolary novel, a fairy tale, and now a mystery, are you planning to write science fiction in the next one?
“You won’t find someone to write for you.”
"Anyway, people wrote it, and the ghostwriter must have evidence. Find the person who wrote it, and find the evidence that the person wrote it, right?"
Xu Guangzheng thinks it’s right.
At that time, some people still questioned "The Wind Rises". "Old Friend" was not written by Li Qingning, but was written by someone else. Some even said that it was Li Qingning's **** work. In addition to receiving letters from lawyers and having to apologize and make amends, these people also get ridiculed by people in their tweets every time the Big Devil releases an original album and an original single, "Look, the Big Devil is looking for you again." Someone else wrote it for me.”
“Sister Chen—”
Liu Tao felt something was wrong. He glanced at the front and saw the rhythm of the writing. "Are you sure this is all the manuscripts?"
Sister Chen smiled, "Then look at the end and see if there is one at the end?"
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 crime and reasoning. This is indeed a mystery novel worth reading.
For 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. It was too late for Xu Guangzheng 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.
Xu Guangzheng knew this when he saw it, "I knew you had buttoned up the back."
What Liu Tao took away was only the part that Sister Chen had read in the morning.
“Who makes him dare not look at the back.”
Sister Chen had already predicted that Liu Tao had a 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 not be allowed to do so in the future. Reading the book and watching the show are all spoilers.
Xu Guangzheng smiled and shook his head.
He recalled 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 knew no more than the reader, and the reader could really make a deduction. Addiction, Sister Chen 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 is confused.
Xu Guangzheng stood up, "It's time to go to sleep."
"Um."
Sister Chen responded absentmindedly, not hearing what she was going to do.
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 resort to mechanical magic?”
Sister Chen is still afraid of this.
In order to make the ending of many mystery novels unexpected enough, whether it is the case or the detective's investigation, it is as unbelievable as possible. The purpose is to make you confused. Then some authors can't come back, and at this time, they can only drop a clue or character.
That’s pretty boring.
“Okay, okay.”
Xu Guangzheng pulled Sister Chen into the bedroom. She had to pay the public food tonight. After the room was rustling, Sister Chen came out in pajamas again and took the manuscript paper into the room. She had to finish reading this book, just like a TV series, it will end soon. If she doesn't finish it, she will always feel empty. of.
Xu Guangzheng was lying on his body after washing, and said with conviction: "I'm still thinking about this book. No wonder you're not in the right mood."
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—
