The Christmas Eve dinner of the editorial department of "Craftsman Record" ended in a lively game, the rules of the game were very simple, and Liu Jingting, the only one present who could still pinch chopsticks and knock on the bowl, was the commander, and he knocked on the bowl and asked a question.

"Where is the highest mountain?"

"Where is the longest river?"

"Where is the dirt yellow?"

Others rushed to answer.

The game was created by Xu Qing, who was so drunk that she could only laugh at this time, but she was still able to accurately name the capital of Iceland.

The first time Liu Jingting saw Yang Lilu drinking like this, her eyes were red, and she rushed to answer questions with others, laughing when she grabbed it, and crying when she couldn't grab it, she was presumptuous like never before.

When Liu Jingting asked, "Where is the best beer", Xu Qing opened his mouth and replied that the beer in the refrigerator was the best, Yang Lilu cried again, and then Xu Qing asked, "What are you crying about?"

Yang Lilu said: "You robbed me of the question." ”

Xu Qing continued to ask, "What are you crying about?"

"I want to answer the question. ”

"Haha, what the hell are you crying about?"

"I don't know how to cook!"

……

There are four sofas in the hall where the editorial department rests, which are just divided among the four female editors, as for Chang Youdao and Xiao Qingyu, they have to be at peace with what they encounter, and sleep wherever they fall on the carpet.

After Liu Jingting arranged everyone, he wrapped himself in a blanket and sat on the bay window, and through the window, he could see the smell of Christmas on the street, the Christmas tree in front of the shop, and the colorful lights hanging on the trees on both sides of the street.

The weather forecast says it will snow this Christmas, but look up and see the sky. I really didn't see any signs, Liu Jingting suddenly remembered a certain year's "White Christmas".

Like it or not, he's been in this world for seven years. In the past seven years, in addition to promoting his life around the theme of pushing books, he has continued to think about the relationship between time and space, especially after hearing Xu Qing say that big truth tonight, he couldn't help but brainstorm again.

Is every genius a time-traveler, they bring advanced science and culture from other time and space, and choose the right time to release and launch it in this world.

And the purpose of what they do is to bring the world closer to their own world. Because only in this way, living here, will not be the most familiar stranger.

At least for Liu Jingting. The world without those cultural works that he is familiar with is no matter how there is a sense of distance, and this sense of distance makes him always downplay the relationship with the people around him, if he is not careful. Lukewarm. Point to point.

Liu Jingting sighed softly. Caught up in some kind of entangled philosophy. In the end, I inexplicably thought of Sherlock Holmes's deduction, and thought of the syllogism because of this, and felt that it was very reliable, and that everything I encountered followed this cause and effect.

The so-called occurrence of a qiē is inevitable, the so-called ......

Liu Jingting couldn't help himself, and suddenly a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Liu Jingting, have you seen my groin?"

Kang Lingyue walked over at some point, holding a glass of water in her hand. While rubbing his forehead, he stared at Liu Jingting and asked.

"Huh?" Liu Jingting quickly reacted from his profound philosophical thoughts, instinctively pretending to be stupid.

Kang Lingyue was sure that she had asked very clearly. The words "Don't pretend, be honest" looked at Liu Jingting's weak eyes.

"Oh, yes. ”

Liu Jingting also knew that it was meaningless to deny at this time, so he nodded and admitted.

"Is it pretty?"

After a long time, Kang Lingyue suddenly asked, Liu Jingting was startled, and suddenly thought that Kang Lingyue was a returnee who came back from the United States, and his thoughts naturally had the openness of the other side of the ocean, and he was about to praise it "Americanly", Kang Lingyue suddenly covered his mouth and vomited like a storm.

……

There was no snow on Christmas Day, and it didn't snow until the last day of December.

And the pavilion still has to say goodbye for seven years, for Liu Jingting, this year is of great significance.

The launch of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The advent of "Journey to the West".

The appearance of "Sherlock Holmes".

The three novels are all the pinnacle representatives of similar works, and with the gradual expansion of the reading scale, the influence of Gu Yongsheng's three words is becoming stronger and stronger.

"Whether it is the return of the king after half a year of hibernation, or the rediscovery of another way in the culture, or even serving as an independent director of Xingyue TV, this year is definitely the most fruitful year for Gu Yongsheng, we can set this year as the 'Year of Gu Yongsheng'!"

In order to support a point, the English version of "Four Signatures" in the book was launched in the United States, which immediately triggered a sales boom and was quickly marketed to European countries such as Britain and France, and the image of Sherlock Holmes began to shine on the whole world.

The Reasoning World Cup has been more widely disseminated because of this book, and similarly, because of this book, the game itself has been robbed of a lot of limelight, and more than half of the readers who began to pay attention to this game in the later period are waiting for the Sherlock Holmes series.

Yoo Kyung-jeong, for his part, began to push the short stories in "A History of Adventure" one by one, and as the competition continued, the story series became more and more fleshed out, and Holmes's popularity in the world exploded, and a predictable storm was brewing in the world of mystery fiction.

While the competition was still underway, 11 magazines in Britain and the United States sent letters of invitation to Liu Jingting.

"The Devotion of Suspect X takes the inference to the extreme, and after that, Liu Jingting began to concentrate on writing his Chinese kung fu novels, and just when people gradually forgot his identity as a mystery novelist, "Gravity of the Brain Nucleus" made such a reasoning competition, once again awakening this genius Oriental boy, with his magical imagination, giving the surname 'Sherlock Holmes' a great symbolic meaning, which is a very incredible thing, we can feel the vigorous ambition of this Chinese teenager, but there is nothing to be done. ”

The New York Times reported for the first time on the Reasoning World Cup, but the entry point was Liu Jingting from China.

"I don't think we can use football as a metaphor for Chinese reasoning anymore. ”

Brown, the editor-in-chief of "Gravity of the Brain Nucleus", told Nat, the deputy editor-in-chief, with mixed feelings.

"Sherlock Holmes are as invincible as their piping pongs!"

Nat finally found the best metaphor.

The British view of Sherlock Holmes and Liu Jingting was more complicated, when Liu Jingting caused a sensation in Great Britain with a song "Ode to the West Wind" and a "Hamlet", so the British government moved to award him the Order of the British Empire, but in the end, due to age and some other reasons, the resolution was not passed.

This time, Liu Jingting's Sherlock Holmes directly set the story in England, and to some, it seems that he is deliberately competing with the medal.

Sherlock Holmes, Nationality, United Kingdom, Place of Residence, 221 Baker Street, London Street.

Since people have given themselves a great detective, of course they deserve a medal, and this medal also draws a successful end to the "Gu Yong's birth year". (To be continued......)
