The Edogawa Ranpo Award, as the most well-known mystery novel award in the island country, is also the most expected, and the judging is naturally extremely strict. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, the judges have also attracted much attention, and they are basically the big names in the reasoning circles of the island countries at present.

It's like this time, it's Sato Sakae, Kaoru Kurimoto, Komine Mototo, Izawa Motohiko and other thirty.

First of all, as far as Han Shi is concerned, he has read the books of three of them, Saito Rong's "Demon World Water Margin" and "Servant Hunting Post" are both very well-known.

Xiao Fengyuan's "Archimedes Kills with a Knife" is a social reasoning novel, and the puzzle is a bit interesting to be an alibi, this is the evaluation that Han Shi is currently recalling in his mind, and in addition, he likes the Bengepai, pure decryption of reasoning novels.

Among the judges of this year's session, the most famous is Motohiko Izawa, who wrote a novel called: "Sarumaru Vision Walk"

In that year, the thirty-three-year-old Shimada Shoji made his debut with "Astrology Murder Incident", founded the New Benge School, and became a god with a book.

But in fact, there are many people who don't know that before that, Shoji Shimada also participated in the Edogawa Ranbu Award, which was originally thought to be an ironclad thing, but was cut off by Motohiko Izawa.

But from Han Shi's point of view, the reason why "Sarumaru Vision" was able to beat the fantastic "Astrology Murders" was not because the former was better written than the latter, nor was it like what the review said, because history, criminology, folklore, and cryptography in the book were integrated.

It's that Shoji Shimada's "Astrology Murders" is too Westernized, while "Sarumaru Vision" has a strong island culture, so it failed miserably.

Speaking of which, there are all kinds of learning in "Sarumaru Vision", that is, the point is up, which is far worse than the four strange books of "No Black in the Brain", and to put it bluntly, there are only cryptography and word games.

Of course, this is compared to "Astrology Murders", compared to ordinary novels, the quality of Izawa Motohiko's novel is already very high.

Let's get back to business, Motohiko Izawa, the author of "Sarumaru Vision", is the chairman of the jury of this Edogawa Ranbu Award, and Motohiko Izawa is also very powerful in the blue star that does not have many big names.

What's more, Motohiko Izawa is very powerful on Earth.

The process of the Ranbu Award is no different from other awards, which are all primary and secondary selections, and then the final selection.

Because Blue Star's Ranbu Award is much more important than Earth's, there is a slight gap in the division of his awards.

It is mainly divided into three departments, the novel department, the short story department, and the literary department.

And each department will choose to select the best award-winning works according to the number of votes of the judges, and Han Shi's "The Old Man in the Corner" must be in the long-form department.

"Ding Dong!"

The computer beeps, Motohiko Izawa has just finished a cup of coffee, he prefers tea, but coffee can make him more refreshing.

There is still a long time for the selection, so there is no hurry, Motohiko Izawa has other things to do in addition to the selection.

"The social mystery novel is about the murder of young people, and this vote cannot be given. Motohiko Izawa crackled and wrote a comment, but he didn't give a ticket.

The procedure of the Ranbu Award, you should be able to think of it, is that the following people complete the preliminary review and review from the submission mailbox, and then send it to the jury members for voting, and at this step, it has actually entered the various novel departments and become a candidate work.

"Recently, there have been more and more speculative novels of declension, tough guys, and socialists, and there are fewer and fewer Bengeists and new Bengeists. Motohiko Izawa sighed.

In fact, the difference between the neo-bengeist and the declension is very vague, as if many people separate the court faction from the social faction, so let's not talk about it this time.

Motohiko Izawa, as a writer of the New Benge School, is definitely inclined to the New Benge in his works.

The reason why the Ranbu Award can become the No. 1 mystery novel award in the island country is because there are many judges and the evaluation is very thorough in all aspects.

Immediately afterward, Motohiko Izawa looked at another work that already had twenty-seven points, a work that was inclined to play on words, and he smiled and rubbed his eyes.

You must be serious and patient when reading mystery novels, and it will be boring to look at ten lines at a glance, about three hours, and I finished reading another book, and this time Motohiko Izawa voted in favor.

Even if the book has no other merits than a play on words.

"It's not easy to be a judge, and I really hope that this year's work will be truly excellent. ”

"It's been a long time since there has been a work in China that I won't want to leave. ”

Motohiko Izawa is the president of the comprehensive literary newspaper, and even if he serves as a judge, he has to work normally, otherwise he will starve to death for such a long review period.

After all, Motohiko Izawa is not a full-time writer, and writing "Sarumaru Vision" is only a part-time job.

"Put all the papers on my desk in my office. ”

"Didn't I read this election plan yesterday? Why do you want to show me two duplicate things, I asked you to change it and give it to me, it doesn't mean that you can change two words and let him appear in front of me. ”

"Okay thanks, get him out of my sight. ”

Izawa Motohiko entered the club, and one thing after another completely turned him into a different person, strong and aggressive, and this kind of thing in the club was easy for him to handle.

Entering the president's office, the documents to be processed today have been placed on the table one by one, and Motohiko Izawa has dealt with them seriously.

This work is serious, until half past twelve at noon, before going to the cafeteria to eat, during the meal will naturally meet a lot of people in the club, all of them will salute, and then a sentence will be good.

Motohiko Izawa's club food is still good, eating at a very fast pace, and the cafeteria is quite chaotic, because many employees are discussing the next work to be completed while eating.

This kind of corporate atmosphere is common in island countries, and Motohiko Izawa eats with satisfaction.

"President, I'm sorry to disturb you eating, but I have something to tell you that I want to tell you. Suddenly, a male voice came.

Motohiko Izawa looked up and saw that it was Wang Hongdadi, the head of the project department of the clubhouse.

"Three minutes. Motohiko Izawa said.

"Thank you, President. Wang Hong said: "That's the case, our project department has just received a short story of Benge's reasoning, I have read it, very good, just ......"

"Just what. Motohiko Izawa asked.

"The author is of Chinese descent. After Wang Hongda finished speaking, he lowered his head.

And then sure enough, it was a reprimand: "Dadi Sang, I think you are mistaken, isn't there a wonderful reasoning short story in our country?"

"Hey!" Wang Hongda didn't dare to speak, so he could only listen.

"And what good mystery novels can Chinese people write?!" Motohiko Izawa said directly.

Wang Hongda continued to bow his head and agree, he originally wanted Izawa Motohiko to take a look, but now he doesn't need to look at it, just pass...... (To be continued.) )
