Lévy has always considered himself a standard layman. Even if he can't understand the meaning of those masterpieces, he would rather not understand them himself, or read some works that are easy for people to read without thinking so much, just relaxed and happy.

"If I were to write a mystery novel, the detective process would be exactly the same as the ones I had actually worked with. I'm afraid that even if I can have a good writing, I guess not many people like to read it. ”

"Uh-huh, quite possibly. Especially the cases you have come into contact with, they must not be the crimes of ordinary people, right? It's superpower and magic or something, but there is no good suspense foreshadowing, and in the end it ends hastily, such a story can only be written by those great writers who can write ordinary daily things into famous books. ”

Kaguya knew what Levi's case was like. When she was tired of playing at home or bored, she chatted with Levi and asked him all kinds of interesting things about his experiences. And Lévy picked out some things that she might find interesting to tell her, most of them were 'strange cases' that she had experienced.

Just like Levy said earlier, the biggest difference between the real detective and the literary work is that the evidence collected is not as detailed and accurate as those detectives. In mystery novels, there is often an unimaginable 'unscientific' reasoning that makes people scream at the case, and finally find the 'ironclad evidence' that goes to the core of the crime and makes the prisoner completely irrefutable. But in reality, especially the famous detectives that Lévy has come into contact with, they are not as amazing as in the novel.

In most cases, the detectives that Lévy knows have gathered evidence pointing to suspects rather than those methods that sound lofty, but in fact are impressive. Instead, they rely more on 'experience' that others don't think is special, or even 'intuition', which doesn't seem to be very reliable.

You must know that as Kaguya said, the cases that require Lévy's intervention are often not crimes committed by ordinary human criminals, but there are superpowers or magical abilities such as magic and magic looming in them. Even if a criminal is caught, he does not need to be taken to the police station like ordinary humans, and then finally sent to court by the prosecutor's office, and the final sentence is determined by the judge and jury.

And without the processes formulated by ordinary human beings, it is natural that there is no longer so much need for the rules set by ordinary human beings in order to regulate these processes and control the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

To put it mildly, the cases in which Lévy participated were indeed lynchings by a group of 'righteous men' who subjectively identified the criminals by the 'detectives'. Even the Inquisition courts owned by religious circles are not as rigorous as formal courts, and even if there are illegalities in the process of collecting evidence, the original ironclad evidence will become invalid evidence that does not meet the requirements and cannot be used.

It is precisely because the verdict can be set as long as they 'know who the prisoner is', and these detectives, who can subjectively convince themselves that it is the criminal, naturally do not need to be like the masters in mystery novels, who must find irrefutable evidence to say handsome 'closing arguments'.

It may sound unreasonable and even inhumane. However, the reality is so cruel that such a story will definitely not be loved by mystery fiction lovers.

So the so-called real detectives in reality are more careful and observant than ordinary people...... Well, there are people with more accurate intuition?"

Kaguya counted three traits on her fingers that she thought were necessary to be a detective in reality. Although she said she had never been in contact with these people, she was basically right.

"There should be a few others, big and small, but what you say is really the most important. Especially the last one. ”

Levi's last words sounded like a joke, but his expression wasn't, and Kaguya nodded earnestly after listening to it.

"Luck, which doesn't seem to be part of strength, is the most important thing in many cases. Just like the protagonist in many comics, whether it is in terms of combat strength, IQ or the level of his companions, he is actually far inferior to his opponent or rival. But they still kept getting stronger all the way, and some of them didn't even get stronger, but they finally guarded the peace of the world with strong luck along the way. Although now slightly older readers don't like this kind of routine, it must be said that this kind of seemingly very unreasonable routine, readers feel that it is the author's blind fabrication of obscene plots, but it is particularly in line with reality. ”

Kaguya said with emotion. It seems that she has met someone similar to the protagonist in the hot-blooded shonen manga before.

"That's what you call the 'protagonist aura', right? Don't say it, I've met some people like this, and every time everyone thinks it's not good, this kind of person always wins in the end. In hindsight, I always feel that the lucky ones are incomprehensible, but this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice. ”

Levi didn't spend most of her life at home like Kaguya, and although she was far from living in thousands of years like her, she had experienced much more than Kaguya.

"I heard that one of your former friends in that magical world was like that?"

I lived in McDowell's house for a while, and although Kaguya was very homely, it was not an exaggeration that she didn't communicate with the rest of the family. Even Evangeline, who seemed to feel that the two of them should have different personalities, Kaguya had actually talked to her about some unimportant things. As for some of the things that Levi had encountered and happened in the past on this earth, Kaguya had heard some of them from the rest of the family.

"You mean Najib......? It's really supposed to be the main character of a standard shonen manga?"

When it comes to the legendary savior of the wizarding world who has passed away, Levi doesn't show obvious sadness, remembrance, or anything like that. It wasn't about the loss of memory, it's just that Lévy somehow never felt that the guy was dead as rumored. Just like he said that guy is like the protagonist of the shonen manga, in the best-selling hot-blooded shonen manga, how many of the main characters are really dead at the end and completely leave his companions?
