Chapter 626 Ultimate move
Morning.
After breakfast, Liu Tao sat in his study refreshed.
The sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, warming people up, and at the same time bringing the scenery of the Hutong to your eyes, which makes people very comfortable. I especially want to make a pot of tea and read a book.
Liu Tao took out the manuscript of "Five Little Pigs".
but.
Before reading a book, he takes out his phone and scans his messages before muting.
In the group.
Mr. Orange was still expressing his indignation at Liu Tao's behavior of picking peaches.
but.
After the orange courier Liu Tao sent arrived, Mr. Chengzi forgave him.
As for the other group—
This is a group of mystery novel authors, editors or screenwriters he knows.
People in the group are discussing last night's Ming Detective.
This issue of Ming Detective is quite popular.
Especially at the end of Su An's words that exaggerated the meaning of the program, Time's short video was pushed wildly. Not to mention that there is also the song "Tian Hui Hui". The suitable plot and tear-jerking song directly put the topic on the hot search.
but-
Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.
The authors and screenwriters in the group are discussing the plot.
Obvious.
In this episode of the program, Jiang Yang didn't set up the case to be very complicated, nor was it very brain-intensive. There was no amazing reversal when the murderer was revealed, but the program's evaluation was extremely good.
The writers in the group are researching the way, and the conclusion is to pay attention to social issues such as domestic violence, and then take Jiang Yang's skills in other novel subjects, so that it becomes an excellent reasoning text.
Author A: "We can learn from it."
after all.
After so many years of writing mystery novels, they are now writing reasoning. It is really difficult to write criminal methods and reasoning that make people shine.
Author B: "Yes, I can really learn from it. Isn't Jiang Yang's "Long Night Difficult to Understand" also relatively weak in reasoning, but because it focuses on social issues, it gave readers a great shock when it was first published?"
Author C: "How do you feel that Jiang Yang unknowingly created a genre?"
When Liu Tao saw this, his heart moved, and he suddenly thought of a word Jiang Yang said.
He typed five words in the group and sent them out: "Socialist reasoning."
People in the group said: "Yes, yes, this word is quite appropriate."
Liu Tao did not expect that Jiang Yang would unknowingly create another genre.
Of course, this kind of speculative novel focusing on social issues is not the first one written by Jiang Yang.
According to the novels Liu Tao read, some reasoning writers in the island country also wrote in the same way.
It's just that it doesn't make sense, and it doesn't matter if there is no representative.
No one has put forward the theory of socialist reasoning based on their works.
This is the same as martial arts novels, you must have unique skills and become famous before you can establish a sect.
anyway.
Liu Tao still prefers authentic mystery novels that put logic first and focus on reasoning and puzzle solving.
This brain-burning feeling of challenging reasoning is the same as solving the last big math problem in the college entrance examination. After solving it, there is a refreshing feeling of drinking a sip of iced cola in summer—
Huh?
Liu Tao looked at the goji berries in the cup and felt that he had led Jiang Yang astray.
He opened the manuscript.
Then.
Jiang Yang gave him a surprise as soon as he came up——
Finally no longer a legacy!
Poirot is going to investigate the case sixteen years ago.
This case does not mean that sixteen years later, the criminal made another move, but that the murderer, the hostess, has been arrested, after trial, was convicted of murdering her husband, was put in prison, and was already dead.
in other words-
Poirot wants to reverse the case sixteen years ago without new evidence!
Liu Tao couldn't help looking forward to it.
Then.
He found that this book was easier to read than Jiang Yang's past mystery novels, because Poirot interviewed one interviewee in the first chapter, successively interviewed the lawyer who handled the case, the judge, the police, etc., and then interviewed the five witnesses of the original case.
One person in each chapter has different identities, so the identities will not be confused.
Then.
Because it was a case investigation, all these people described the same case to Poirot. But because of the different relationships and emotions, the cases and stories told are also somewhat different.
but-
Except for the heroine's sister, the other four people all think that the heroine is the murderer from different angles.
It should have been boring to be so repetitive around a case.
but!
As far as these differences are concerned, Liu Tao enjoys them, as if playing a game of finding faults. He looks for the differences, and then tries to find out the answer before Poirot reveals the truth—
even.
When the five witnesses recorded the situation before and after the incident and presented it to the readers again, and Liu Tao knew what Jiang Yang was going to do, Liu Tao felt a sense of trembling!
His legs couldn't help shaking.
This shaking is not cold, but excited.
He understood Jiang Yang's intention, Jiang Yang wanted to use Poirot to compete with readers!
This competition is also different from previous mystery novels.
The past mystery novels at least had crime scenes that had to be filled in by readers.
But this time is different. This time Poirot, like the reader, has only five testimonies. That is to say, the reader and the detective can only rely on the witness's dictation more than ten years ago to find out the real truth!
If this idea can be realized—
Liu Tao felt shocked just thinking about it!
Thinking of this, Liu Tao is gearing up.
He discarded the later manuscripts, did not read them, and decided to speculate on the murderer based on the previous manuscripts.
For this reason, he stood up, walked out of the study, and walked to the door of the B&B. Mrs. Liu was leading the staff to draw some cute patterns on the small blackboard after entering the B&B, and then wrote some fresh vegetables and recipes for today.
result-
Without saying a word, Liu Tao picked up the small blackboard and ran away.
"Hey, you!"
Madam Liu still has chalk in her hand.
She looked at the small blackboard that suddenly disappeared in front of her, and was speechless for a while at Liu Tao.
Employee: "Sister, can you bear this?"
Mrs. Liu thought about it, and decided to forget it.
I worked overtime yesterday, so let Lao Liu be arrogant.
She put down the chalk, clapped her hands, turned around and went in to entertain the guests. When she finished her work and went to greet Liu Tao for lunch, she saw a dense reasoning process written on the small blackboard, while Liu Tao himself was sitting in front of the French window, holding a wolfberry quilt, pretending to be deep!
Mrs. Liu: "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Tao toasted to the distance: "Respect Jiangyang, his father-in-law, and hope that his old man will live longer than Nanshan!"
This professor not only cultivated a great devil, but also directly gave birth to a masterpiece!
Depend on!
Liu Tao convinced.
He now agrees with a sentence on the Internet, shut Jiang Yang to the zoo, he must go to see it!
psychology!
Really is Criminal Minds!
This book is completely a novel about how criminal minds identify criminals!
Liu Tao really didn't expect it!
He just watched the variety show yesterday and saw what Su An said when he "surrendered himself" that Jiang Yang was inspired by criminal psychology and planned this variety show, but he never expected that the book that was handed over to him yesterday was also written by Jiang Yang inspired by criminal psychology, and it further proved the role of psychology in crime!
Obviously the answer was suggested yesterday, but Liu Tao didn't use it to deduce it today!
Fortunately, he is still looking for the difference in the story in the narration of the five witnesses from different angles, so as to deduce and solve the mystery!
However-
Jiang Yang's entire text itself, that is to say, what kind of mentality the five witnesses have led to different narratives, is itself part of the reasoning!
For example.
In this book, five witnesses:
in their respective narratives.
The elder brother among the neighbors hates the heroine; the younger brother loves the heroine; the third child hates the heroine, and the husband who likes the heroine crazily is also the deceased; the heroine never spoils her sister because she hurt her sister.
but-
Poirot keenly passed through the colored glasses of these people, and deduced from behavior and psychology that the brother who hates the heroine actually likes the heroine, but hates it because he can’t get it;
This is the whole truth!
real!
Liu Tao was shocked when he saw the truth.
For the first time, he saw that the unquantifiable thing of psychology, with the help of text, jumped onto the paper, making psychology smoothly become a reliable decryption tool for reasoning, and criminal psychology being fully utilized!
It exploded!
Yesterday's variety show was just an appetizer. Today's book is Jiang Yang's feast after he got the inspiration from his father-in-law's words. The old man is amazing. He really wants to send the old man a small mallet for knocking wooden fish. It's okay to beat Jiang Yang!
and-
After reading this book, I don't think I understand it like solving some math problems, but I can't do it. But the moment he thinks of the murderer, everything in the book can immediately appear in his mind.
That's right!
This book is so silky smooth in the image and psychological shaping of the characters!
Still comfortable!
So much so that Liu Tao thinks about it now, smelling the scent of jasmine, feeling the movement of cats sneaking in, the turbulent sponge under the bright sun, and the bitter taste in the beer that he drank dry in one breath—
Now Liu Tao can't wait to push this book to all those who praised what Su An said yesterday, and tell them that the show is nothing, and the real power is here!
Never mind.
The publication of the book is not accomplished overnight, and Liu Tao can only bear with it for the time being.
He endured it, and went to the group to say: "Jiangyang's father-in-law cowhide! Great inspiration!"
Ms. Orange:? ?
Sister Chen: Who said yesterday that the show was boring?
Liu Tao: I was blind yesterday! But "Five Little Pigs" is the masterpiece inspired by the old man! I watched it on my knees!
The bearded man asked Liu Tao to talk.
Liu Tao asked the bearded man to buy the book and read it after it was published.
Ms. Orange: You are whetting my appetite! Did he write yesterday's case into a mystery novel?
Liu Tao: Tch, yesterday's episode of Ming Detective was just an appetizer!
Liu Tao: @Sister Chen, let the big devil treat her husband better. Jiang Yang is a good son-in-law, he really listens to what his father-in-law says!
Mr. Orange: "It's over, crazy!
Liu Tao ignored him.
He actually has one more thing to ask Sister Chen, which is what book is this "The Moon and Sixpence"?
This book is mentioned in the novel.
But Liu Tao searched all the information, but still couldn't find it.
As for Jiang Yang’s remark in the book, it is directly a sentence: "A novel based on the great painter Gao Geng. This article is not enough, so I will not introduce it for now. In time, I will describe it separately—"
Listen.
This is human language, and you still dig a hole like this!
＊＊＊
Ah Choo!
Father Li, who was eating in the school cafeteria, sneezed.
He muttered: "Who is talking about me?"
"Come!"
Old Wang sat in front of him and gave him a chicken leg: "Your reward."
Father Li squinted his eyes: "There is nothing to show courteousness to, **** or steal. Want me to play chess for you?"
Without waiting for Old Wang to answer, Father Li shook his head: "No, let me play chess for you, and you won't spend such a large amount of money. You want me to play chess for you, and you are not allowed to regret the game?!"
Father Li told Lao Wang not to dream.
Playing chess with old, treacherous and cunning people like Lao Wang, it is a torture not to regret the game, because this grandson is good at playing psychological warfare. When you are about to make a move, he will knock on the chess piece in his hand and say with a smile: "You are sure, don't go back on your word; you are looking for death; you will lose if you take another move, your son-in-law will come and play chess with me..."
Words like this, false and true, true and false, only regret chess can break it.
Old Wang: "Thank you."
Father Li: "Thank you for what?"
Old Wang: "Thank you for your righteous words. Your words not only taught your son-in-law a lesson, but also taught netizens a lesson."
Father Li doesn't understand.
Lao Wang asked him to watch a short video.
Lao Wang's daughter chased this variety show, and students also used short videos.
They all knew that Lao Wang had a good relationship with Li's father and they were neighbors, so when the show said this, they immediately knew that the professor of criminal psychology was Lao Wang, so they naturally shared it with Lao Wang.
Lao Wang read it.
Let’s not talk about it, it really happened.
At that time, when playing chess, Jiang Yang let his hindsight torment and lose several games, so he said this, almost to the effect that criminal psychology is an afterthought, so he is good at hindsight.
Old Wang is proud of winning chess, of course he doesn't take his words to heart.
He didn't expect that Father Li was quite interesting, and even taught Jiang Yang a lesson when he went back. This kid Jiang Yang is also good, not only listened to it, but turned around and made a very popular variety show out——
After reading Su An's words, Old Wang felt quite strong.
Father Li is quite interesting.
After watching the short video, Father Li said, "Ahem, you have to thank me."
Father Li did say this.
but.
There is another but behind him, which is criminal psychology, which is essentially psychology, and belongs to the stepmother in the legal profession—
fine.
Jiang Yang ignored it later.
This son-in-law is good.
He felt very comfortable hearing what he said through someone else's mouth.
"This is a mess—"
Father Li waved his hand modestly: "Unexpectedly, I said such a good word for you, and actually made a show."
Father Li ate the chicken leg with peace of mind.
By the way—
Father Li: "When playing chess in the afternoon, do you have to let me have a horse and a cannon?"
"no!"
Old Wang shook his head: "Let me give you a horse and a cannon, if I still win, you will be so embarrassed."
＊＊＊
Jiang Yang still had the scent of lipstick between his lips and teeth.
He walked quickly to the elevator, intending to go to the company. When he got to the elevator, the elevator was about to close. Jiang Yang hurriedly pressed the door open button. After the door opened, Jiang Yang saw two people in the elevator.
Jiang Yang knew one of the handsome guys.
He is Sister Hong's stepson, last time I met him in the elevator and in the meeting room of Koi Studio.
At that time.
Jiang Yang remembered that when he was in the elevator, these two people stood at the door of the elevator and even blocked his way.
fine.
Jiang Yang is not one to hold grudges.
but-
This time is different.
After Jiang Yang came in this time, the handsome guy took his assistant and took a step back to the back corner. He wanted to smile and nod, but he was not used to it, so he just nodded to Jiang Yang with a twitch.
"Hello."
Jiang Yang nodded to him, and leaned against the corner of the elevator door.
He actually prefers the corner where the handsome guy stands.
The handsome guy behind him hesitated to speak. After Jiang Yang completely turned around, he swallowed the words in his stomach. He also encountered a problem, that is, what should he call Jiang Yang?
Sister Hong and Sister Big Demon King are long and short.
The husband of the Great Demon King is naturally the elder sister and the younger brother.
Sister Hong is his stepmother again.
After all this, he must be called uncle, but Jiang Yang is younger than him—
Just when the handsome guy was struggling, Jiang Yang arrived.
He got off the elevator and arrived at the company.
