Chapter 296 Roger Mystery
The phone rang.
Li Qingning stopped in the concert hall, took off the earphones, and connected the phone, "Hello?"
Video call initiated by Zhuang Mei in the group.
Li Qingning connected.
There were only her, Zhuang Mei, and Xu Fan in this group. Xu Fan was rehearsing in the backyard of the small theater, and there were faint voices of grandparents singing in front of him. Xu Fan asked, "What's going on?"
"It's my grandma's birthday this Saturday, so come over."
Zhuang Mei made an invitation first, then said after a pause, "I'll take someone with me when the time comes."
Xu Fan: "Who?"
Zhuang Mei: "Qing Ning met."
Li Qingning only knows two things, one is the director who works with Jiang Yang, but she has never met, and the other is the doctor opposite Zhuang Mei. After watching the drama "Snail", she took Jiang Yang to see it. I was sick and nothing was checked out.
Li Qingning said, "That's the doctor."
Zhuang Mei said: "Yes."
Xu Fan began to gossip, "What's the situation, why haven't I mentioned you before. So, let's go to Zhuang Mei's restaurant to have a good chat tonight. This is a lifelong event, and the sisters must help you check it out."
Before Zhuang Mei could speak, Xu Fan heard Teacher Wen greet her, and she hurriedly hung up the chat.
Before hanging up, I did not forget to remind Li Qingning: "You are not allowed to bring family members."
Zhuang Mei had no choice but to say, "That's how it is."
After agreeing to have dinner together in the evening, Li Qingning also hung up the phone.
She put away her earphones and drum kit, rubbed her sore wrist, and left the concert hall. She saw an acquaintance waiting in the reception room, drinking coffee. This is her asset manager, Sister Liao. Li Qingning called her Say hello, "Sister Liao."
Sister Liao put away her phone and came over, "Qingning, long time no see."
Li Qingning shook hands with her, "Wait in a hurry, I'm wasting your time."
"I just arrived too. Besides, your practice is the real thing. My job is to prevent those complicated things from delaying your work and time, isn't it?" Sister Liao said with a smile.
Li Qingning invited her to the office.
Before pushing the door open, Sister Liao asked her: "There is room for value-added on the top floor of that set, why do you plan to sell it?"
Li Qingning said it was too high, "Sixty floors, my husband can suffer from insomnia if he lives on it."
It was originally prepared for the future life, but who knew that she married a husband who was afraid of heights.
The sofa in her office used to be next to the window, and then one day Jiang Yang woke up suddenly during his lunch break, saying that he dreamed that the building was tilted, and the sofa he was lying on slipped and broke the glass and fell. This is really true —
She didn't know what to say.
They push the door and go in—
"Honey, I love you."
Jiang Yang was chattering, when he heard Li Qingning come in, he made a heartfelt gesture without raising his head.
"The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor" is indeed quite satisfactory compared to other well-known mystery novels of my grandmother, as well as "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes".
But in my grandmother's time, this book was epoch-making.
Before this book, the book was mainly based on Sherlock Holmes's detective novels and adventure novels.
In this book, Grandma created the country house faction, and this book also has a prototype of original reasoning, that is, logic-based reasoning and puzzle solving, allowing readers and detectives to stand on the same plane and stay in the country house so that they are opposite each other. A lock on the murderer, but also a tension different from the Blizzard Villa model, allows readers to enjoy the fun of deciphering in the novel leisurely. For some reasoning fans, reading this kind of novel is like doing the last big question in the college entrance examination, the sense of pride and accomplishment after answering it.
certainly.
This book was epoch-making in that era, but it has no historical significance in the world of Jiangyang. With "Murder on the Orient Express" before him, many people will probably say that he is short-lived and his talents are exhausted now that he is writing "The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor".
Definitely.
Because the order of Grandma’s novels was changed by him.
but!
Jiang Yang was stunned because, in the world of Poirot's reasoning, "The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor" was the first case in which Poirot escaped to England. Then the book is written in the voice of "I" Hastings, "I" also wrote at the beginning of the book, the case caused public interest, and in order to stop the sensational rumors that are still circulating, "I" put the story It was written and published.
Poirot also became famous.
However, there was an Englishman who was very upset when he saw Poirot, especially upset.
He intends to write a book about the failure of Poirot and put it into publication.
His name is Shepard!
The failure case he wrote was that he personally followed Poirot to solve a case, and recorded the whole process from the perspective of "I".
That is to say, this book is also written in the tone of "I".
The difference is that this "I" is not the old partner Hastings, but the doctor Shepard.
Then, this man was convinced at the back of the book.
Heart service, oral body service.
He didn't have any temper at all, he just wondered why Poirot grew zucchini...
This is the third novel in Grandma's "Poirot Universe"—
"Roger Mystery"!
So, Jiang Yang was thinking, if "The Mysterious Case of Stiles Manor" is connected into "Roger's Mystery", it means that the overall structure of the reasoning story remains unchanged. At the very end, when Shepard slowly closed the novel written by Hastings, and then felt that the case was quite satisfactory and the murderer was unnecessary, and then showed dissatisfaction with the famous Poirot—
Readers outside the book may have the same doubts.
But that's okay.
Wait a moment.
They will follow Shepard and be convinced soon.
Jiang Yang is confident, there are famous works in history, the art of concealment, and "Roger's Mystery" is here.
Who dares to make irresponsible remarks!
Jiang Yang suddenly remembered the scene of Xiao Gang shouting "Who else!" at the police station.
What I want is this momentum.
By the way, I also vomited what others want to vomit in the book, so that others have nothing to vomit!
Jiang Yang found it very interesting after thinking about it, and couldn't help but startle, and then the scene when Li Qingning entered the door happened.
"Love you."
Li Qingning has long been used to it. Sometimes at home, she is in the living room, Jiang Yang is playing games in the room or reading books and dramas in the study. From time to time, she will come out for a walk, say "I love you" or something, and then turn back continue to play.
Li Qingning introduced to Sister Liao, "Jiang Yang, my husband."
Jiang Yang raised his head, a little embarrassed, and after saying hello, he started typing on the computer again.
"sit."
Li Qingning asked Sister Liao to sit down. After receiving the water that Li Qingning handed over, Sister Liao continued the topic just now, "There are many people who want the set with a private swimming pool. Have you figured it out?"
Li Qingning: "Think about it."
Sister Liao glanced at Jiang Yang.
It has long been heard that the Great Demon King and his wife have a good relationship. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, the rumors are true. She took out a document, and after signing it, they chatted a lot. Jiang Yang didn't listen to it very much, he just listened to the word "private swimming pool"—
This is much more fun.
After that sister Liao left, Jiang Yang leaned over, "What swimming pool?"
"Don't think about it, there are more than sixty floors."
The pool is still on the edge.
Jiang Yang probably wouldn't even dare a dog to dig it.
Li Qingning raised his head and asked him, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Yang thought for a while, the sixtieth floor, it will fall for a while!
But this line—
Jiang Yang thinks it should be okay, "Yesterday you-"
Li Qingning gave him a kick and told him to get busy, thinking that it would be better for him to be a social animal. She handed him the water glass in her hand, "Drink more water. The three of us, Zhuang Mei and I, will go to dinner later. You can settle the dinner yourself."
Jiang Yang continued to work, and contacted Zhou Hao by the way.
He asked Zhou Hao to call it a day, and they went to Paopaohou's father's house to eat boiled fish, and then went to play basketball.
Send one first.
Proof that I did not copy book reviews.
I really plan to follow "Roger's Mystery".
