Chapter 324: The Novel of the Age of Excavation (I)

"What?!"

Motohiko Izawa's eyes widened, like a cat with its tail stepped on, a dog that had been kicked in the ass, and jumped up from the stool in an instant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He suddenly thought of the previous content in his mind, and the previous novel was told through the mouth of the old man, and when the body was found in the cabin, it was already decomposed and blurred.

It was Madame William who judged that the body was her husband through some ornaments, and in fact, in the nineteenth century, the police did not have a good way to identify the body.

"I see. Motohiko Izawa hurriedly looked.

[……

"Wow! It's so clever and seamless! Think about it! His disguise—Kershaw's unkempt beard, hair, and mustache, he had shaved it all off, even his eyebrows! No wonder even his wife was unrecognizable across the courtroom.

And don't forget that when he stood in the dock, she didn't see much of his face. Kershaw was scruffy, listless, hunched over. Messerst, a millionaire, probably served as a soldier in Prussia.

Then, the clever guy was going to go to the Hotel Dorililli one more time. It only takes a few days to buy a beard, mustache and wig that is exactly like his shaved hair. Dress up as himself!Wonderful!And leave the little wallet!Hee, hee, hee! Kershaw wasn't murdered! Of course not.

……]

The sense of picture of the book is particularly important, and now the old man's statement at the end gives Motohiko Izawa a very strong sense of the picture.

One is not tall, and a little hunchbacked, with a small goatee, and his appearance is very ordinary, and even the eyes full of wisdom of ordinary wise people are not as full of wisdom as they are usually said in novels.

is just an ordinary old man who is thrown in the crowd and can't be found at all.

But he was different from ordinary old men, and the tone of his mouth was obviously mocking.

The old man drank milk, dismissive, and even disdainful, William Kershaw's frightening methods.

That's right, Motohiko Izawa had even sketched the old man's quick tone in his mind.

[……

Six days after the murder, he went to the Hotel Dorilny, and Mr. Messerst, the millionaire, was buried in the park with the Duke's wife. Hang this man!!"

He fumbled for his hat. He grabbed his hat respectfully with nervous, trembling fingers as he stood up from the table. Polly watched him stride to the counter, pay for two pence for bread and milk, and soon disappear from the store.

And she herself, finding herself still in a hopeless stupor, with some snapshots spread out in front of her, and then staring at the long string, from one end to the other, a series of dense knots—the knots as if they had just been sitting, equally confusing, infuriating, and confusing.

……]

After the first story was over, Motohiko Izawa did not continue to read it, but as if the big stone in his heart had landed, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Hoo ......"

Motohiko Izawa came back to his senses and found that he was standing very excitedly, and the mouse line was very long, and he sat down immediately.

"In fact, the unsolved case of Fenque Qujie is not very complicated, and the whole case is only 10,000 words, and the key difficulty is that it does not have a complete chain of clues, so even if the book says that the style of the Benge School, all the clues and things that are known to be hidden are not hidden at all, and the case cannot be solved. ”

"The reasoning of crushing is really cool to watch. Motohiko Izawa looked at the very beginning with the mouse again, the author is anonymous, nationality ......

"It's hard to imagine that "The Old Man in the Corner" was written by a Chinese. ”

If a bookworm says that he sees a good book, he will definitely be dancing, and Motohiko Izawa will not do such a bad thing, but a reasoning enthusiast will definitely be eager to catch up when he sees a good book of reasoning.

After reading the first story, Motohiko Izawa was extremely interested in this kind of logical crushing and the way in which the case could be solved without being at the scene.

This unsolved case can be deduced with a powerful and perverted logic, but what about other cases? Not all cases can.

Anyway, Motohiko Izawa didn't believe it, and the next story after story: the mysterious murder in the subway, the Dablin mystery, the Glasgow mystery, the Liverpool mystery, the Miss Elliott incident, the Lisson Grove puzzle, the Dartmore Alley tragedy, the Tryman nobleman case, the Miss Pemmasy murder case, the Xinxin Theater incident, the mysterious death on Percy Street......

From homicide cases to missing cases, all kinds of cases, without exception, the old man used his extremely strong logic to see through the loopholes.

It's like the case of the brothers fighting for the inheritance, and the old man also used a very contemptuous attitude to tell the complicated and incomprehensible truth of the case.

[……

"Well, Murray Brooks is not an expert in forgery, and it will take years to become such an expert. His own forged will will will be found to be fake - yes, that's it, it will be discovered.

The falsification of the false will is obvious, so let it be obvious, and then it can be discovered, and since it is false, then the real will made in 1891, that is, the one which is of great benefit to the young scoundrel, can be valid. It is not known whether Murray wrote on the false will the conditions that were obviously favorable to Pasiva, out of prank, or simply out of extreme care. ”

……]

A very ingenious ruse, but it was really easily cracked, and the process did not change at all.

The process of coming up with a trick, and then easily seeing through the loopholes and cracking it with one hit, is perfect.

Has this old man ever thought about the feelings of other people's murderers, and has he ever thought about the hard work of people who have wasted a lot of effort to make a mystery and leave false clues?

The murderer-kun is crying, and the brain cells are crying!

You said that detectives are okay, just like Sherlock Holmes, where there is a case, you have to rush there, and then you have to use deduction to investigate at the scene, and it's better to think about it if it's cracked.

But this perverted old man, who does not leave the door, describes what false clues are "out of prank, or extra careful, it is unknown." "Peat, this is the fruit of the labor of ignoring the murderer!

No wonder it is said that this society has become more and more difficult recently, and it is not easy to even kill people.

"Logic is indeed a very scary subject. ”

"This old man is really a thinking machine!"

The above are the only two remaining thoughts after Motohiko Izawa read the full text, "The Old Man in the Corner", his vote, there is no doubt that he must vote for it.

However, suddenly Motohiko Izawa thought of something important...... (To be continued.) )
