Chapter 318: Impossible (Part II)
Motohiko Izawa is not racist, or racist in the narrow sense, he is racist in the broad sense. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He doesn't think that China is not good or bad, that it is an inferior country, on the contrary, he thinks that China is very powerful, and even admires it in some aspects, and he borrows a lot of things from China in his fiction writing.
Izawa Motohiko just doesn't think that Huaxia has good reasoning works, the reason why he has this opinion is because a year or two ago, he went to Huaxia and then bought a copy of the most popular mystery novel at that time, but the romance component was far greater than the reasoning, and he was unhappy at that time.
So, the impression of Chinese mystery novels has always been like this, which is why at the beginning, I heard that it was a Chinese mystery novel, but I didn't read it directly and called back.
When something has gone deep into the bone marrow, it is difficult to change it.
"Wow"
The door opened, making a screeching sound, and the door leaf had been a little loose two months ago and needed to be repaired, but Motohiko Izawa had not done anything.
After the day's work is completed, Motohiko Izawa usually doesn't get home until half past eight in the evening, and he is already tired like a ball, so how can he bother to care about the door.
"Praise", fell on the sofa, rested for a while, of course, dinner had already been eaten at this time.
He got up, processed all the emails received by mobile mail in the courtyard, drank a pot of wine, and then returned to the bedroom to continue his review career.
In fact, because of the reason that Motohiko Izawa opened a newspaper, the review speed was faster than that of other judges, so he was able to review a book in three or four hours.
"Well, the old man in the corner? That's an interesting name. Izawa Motohiko said: "But taking such a name, will it expose the target, and in the end the murderer is an inconspicuous old man in the corner?"
Of course, you have to read the text to have the right to speak, so Motohiko Izawa continued to watch, and then he saw a very strange scene.
[Title: The Old Man in the Corner.]
Author: Anonymous (Chinese)
Gender: Male
……]
It's actually common for authors to participate anonymously at events, and there are all sorts of reasons not to reveal their names, which is officially allowed by the Edogawa Ranpo Awards.
Although so far, there have been no anonymous submissions of novels, but what is not common is the annotation in parentheses at the back, which is obvious that the author of this article is a Chinese.
As I said before, Motohiko Izawa doesn't think that the Chinese can write a good mystery novel.
"How did you get the preliminary review and re-examination recently? The review conditions have been lowered so low?" said Izawa Motohiko, who was going to pass this article directly, but after thinking about it, he still had to take a look.
He does not doubt that the people in the first and second trials are not serious, and he cannot arbitrarily doubt the results of people's efforts, which is what Motohiko Izawa has always believed, but he feels that the conditions for this review are too lenient.
Motohiko Izawa froze, and looked at it-
[Introduction:
There is a café called "ABC Cafe".
In the corner of the café sits an old man, where he eats cake and drinks coffee every day. Once, a female reporter inadvertently got into a conversation with the old man, and as a result, the old man stayed at home and solved a murder case very accurately just by relying on the newspaper report.
In the future, as soon as the reporter came across the case, he went to the old man, and the old man solved the case in this magical way. ]
Instantly grasped the key words: stay at home, accurate, cracked!
"How could it be. Motohiko Izawa sneered, and he said, "Can you solve a case without leaving home?" This reasoning model is too fanciful and impossible to do?"
"But...... To be honest, this point seems to be not bad, is it feasible to study it carefully, and if I write it, can it be completed?"
Although Motohiko Izawa thinks this point is very good, it is impossible to make a judgment after thinking about it
"How can you collect clues without leaving home? Will others send clues? Just read the newspaper, the newspaper will not report the murder case in too much detail, if it is written in too much detail, the newspaper will be fake, and the rigor of the mystery novel will be gone. ”
Sawamotohiko made a final evaluation: "But if you don't believe it, you won't be able to solve the case at all, and the readability of mystery novels will disappear, how can you write it well?"
"Chinese people are very good at writing other types of novels, such as martial arts, and fantasy novels, but they seem to be born with weak logic, so they can't write mystery novels. This is the reason why Motohiko Izawa thinks.
Say a thousand things and ten thousand, content, content is the most important, although the introduction caused him to complain so much, but the content of the essay is the most important.
Download the file from the mailbox to the desktop, Motohiko Izawa began to read the text-
[Pushes the cup aside and leans back towards the table.]
"Mystery!" he said, "if you use your brains to investigate a crime, there is absolutely no such thing as a mystery!"
Paulie Burton looked over the top of the newspaper in amazement, and the stern, cold, inquiring brown eyes rested on him. From the moment the old man shuffled through the shop to sit down across from her table, she didn't think much of him. On the marble table were already her large cups of coffee (3p), bread and cream (2p), and a plate of tongue (6p).
……]
At the beginning, he followed the steps step by step, and even introduced the two protagonists without any highlights, one was a well-known newspaper reporter Bolton.
Then, the other is the old man in the corner in the title of the book, the old man said this in a very mocking tone, probably the content is that the police are all stupid, and they don't even have a brain to solve the case.
There is no doubt that this self-righteous tone will definitely be offensive, and it is not surprising that the female reporter Bolton is not convinced.
So, the female journalist provoked.
[……
"But," she said, in a gentle but authoritative tone, "this is a well-informed newspaper, and the article above will tell you that in the last year alone, there have been no less than six crimes that have completely confused the police, and the perpetrators are still at large." ”
"I'm sorry," said the old man mildly, "I don't dare to hint at all that the police have no mystery at all; ”
"Even the Finchqu Street Mystery is the same, I think. She said sarcastically.
"The least likely case to become a mystery is the so-called Finjak Street Mystery Case. The old man replied quietly.
……]
As expected, the female reporter was embarrassed for the old man, so she raised a case, and Motohiko Izawa estimated that this Fenque Qu Street mystery case was the first case in the book.
It is also the first volume of "The Unsolved Case of Fenque Qu Street"
Next, I followed the routine and introduced the difficulty of this case...... (To be continued.) )
