Chapter 558 The death of the priest
Liu Tao ignored the bearded man.
He is regretting.
It is not terrible to be deceived, what is terrible is to be deceived twice with the same trick!
After experiencing the baptism of "Roger's Mystery" and appreciating the charm of narration, Liu Tao thought that he would never be fooled by the same trick again.
However, Jiang Yang used this novel to tell him that he was still too young.
This guy used a similar trick to deceive him again.
When he first got the manuscript of "Tragedy in Three Acts", Liu Tao saw it, oh, third person, this time it should not be a narration.
Then-
He looked down.
At the beginning, this book is still very attractive, and it is told in fashionable words: [Old handsome, Da Zhuang and the doctor are good friends, old handsome and Dandan like each other, but old handsome and Dandan are very different in age.
On this day, the old man held a banquet, and thirteen people came, including the old man, Da Zhuang and the doctor, Dandan mother and daughter, Poirot, the pastor and his wife, etc.
There is also a handsome guy.
This handsome guy likes balls.
Because there are thirteen people in total, and the housekeeper said it was unlucky, so let her join in, so there are fourteen people.
Then.
At the banquet, the old man made a cocktail and invited everyone to drink it. The doctor didn't like cocktails, so he didn't drink it.
The pastor didn't like cocktails much either, but managed to drink one.
After drinking a glass of wine, the pastor died.
Because the pastor was too kind and had no enemies, and he took the wine himself, and the cocktail glass was tested the next day and found nothing, so Poirot and the local doctor believed that the pastor died of a sudden illness. 】
certainly.
This is a mystery novel, Liu Tao doesn't even need to guess, the pastor must have been poisoned to death.
actually tricked Poirot over!
Reading mystery novels is sometimes an intellectual competition game.
Seeing that Poirot had been cheated, Liu Tao wanted to catch the murderer first, but after a long time, he couldn't find the murderer.
He can only continue to look down.
【The old handsome left because he felt that Eggy was more suitable to be with Xiaoshuai.
after a while.
Da Zhuang was on vacation in France, and saw in the newspaper that his good friend, the old man, the doctor, had died.
The way of death is exactly the same as that of a priest!
Just in time, the old man came over and confirmed that the pastor's death was murder. He also said that when the doctor died, Dandan and Xiaoshuai were present, and now Dandan wrote to ask for his help.
The old friend died, Da Zhuang and the old man were duty-bound, they set off to rush back, met Poirot at the train station, and talked about the case.
Poirot was shocked, I was actually cheated!
Then, Poirot continued to make soy sauce.
After Da Zhuang and the old handsome returned, they formed a detective trio with Eggy and started to solve the case—]
From the moment the three amateur detectives start to solve the case, the novel gets very, very boring.
The modeling of the three amateur detectives is very thin, with no psychological activities and no personal characteristics. It is almost like a detective finding the suspect and related personnel for questioning, and asking for some testimony, but it is useless. The three amateur detectives can't see any use. Liu Tao, an outsider, can't see any use for it.
Then, the three amateur detectives repeat the above operation.
This mystery novel is neither tense, nor humorous, nor suspenseful.
At most, the old handsome and Eggy will fall in love.
to be honest-
Liu Tao has a feeling of "I saw it, I saw it, what should I see".
He followed his wife to watch dog-blood romance dramas, which were more exciting than this novel. After getting this manuscript, Liu Tao did not suffer from sleepless nights and trouble sleeping and eating. Instead, he slept so soundly that his wife read His eyes are full of resentment.
Even Jiang Yang complained about it—writing books is getting harder and harder, and it can’t keep Lao Liu up at night.
Being bored is nothing.
What made Liu Tao unbearable the most was the reasoning of these three detectives. They didn’t know what they were investigating. Is there any progress?" Liu Tao followed up, "You **** know it too!"
Then.
Poirot, who has written most of the book with soy sauce, is here!
He had already decided that this book was Jiang Yang's failure.
It’s okay, people make mistakes, horses make mistakes, Jiang Yang can’t guarantee that every mystery novel is so amazing.
He is still watching, just wanting to know who the murderer is and why the pastor was killed.
Then.
Liu Taoren was dumbfounded.
After Poirot appeared on the stage, the rhythm of the whole book suddenly became smoother, as if the constipation had squeezed Kiesel. Useful leads.
When the final answer was revealed, Liu Tao immediately realized that he had been tricked by Jiang Yang again!
Boring?
Just boring!
Reasoning after going around for a long time and no progress?
It’s right if there is no progress!
The characters are thin, the three detectives have no characteristics, not even a psychological description?
It’s right if you don’t have one!
Because the murderer is among the three amateur detectives.
The two detectives follow the murderer and lead the readers to investigate the case together. It would be **** if the case made any progress.
After the narrator of the investigation in "Roger's Mystery" was the murderer, Jiang Yang changed to the third person and made it again, letting the investigator continue to be the murderer, and deceived him again.
"Nimma!"
Liu Tao is stupid.
He suddenly slapped himself on the forehead, scaring Madam Liu, and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"I'm so stupid, really."
Liu Tao said.
He should have thought of it earlier.
Jiang Yang, a great master who has already written two mystery novels, no matter how bad his writing is, it is impossible for him to be so bad. Just like a professional 100-meter athlete, even if he has diarrhea and diarrhea, he can run faster than ordinary people.
so-
When the book was so boring, Liu Tao should have thought about why it was so boring.
Liu Tao couldn't eat breakfast anymore.
With the guilt of thinking that this book was a failure before, he took the previous manuscript paper again.
Then looked at the pile of manuscript paper with respect.
Seriously—
In a sense, this novel is more delicately designed than "Roger's Mystery".
If it is said that "The Mystery of Roger" is tricky, using the first-person narration method, relying on the reader's natural trust in the narrator, and tricking the reader into a trap.
This novel uses the third person, from the title, from the structure of the book, from the motivation, from the text, and even from the character creation, step by step to let the readers fall into the trap—
The murderer-led investigation is inherently boring, misleading you, so that you can't find any useful clues, otherwise?
What surprised Liu Tao in particular was the death of the pastor!
It can be said that he can be misled because he still can't figure out the motive of the pastor's death!
so-
The detective in the book, the readers outside the book are desperately looking for why the pastor died.
actually-
Just look at the title of the book and you will know "Tragedy in Three Acts".
It's drama!
The murderer is a dramatist!
Drama needs to be rehearsed!
So, in rehearsal to kill, does killing someone need a motive?
unnecessary!
Among the fourteen people at that time, anyone but three could die.
Including Poirot!
Small-scale indiscriminate killing, in this novel, motivation becomes the key to reasoning and deciphering, and the title of the book has clearly told the readers.
Liu Tao had no choice but to say, "Cowhide!"
