Chapter 87: The Reason for the Murder

Liucheng Publishing House undoubtedly attaches great importance to Bao Shiyi's "Malice", especially the sales of "The Melting Pot" before were very considerable, with the release of the movie, the topic effect of "The Melting Pot" continued to rise, and now at this time Bao Shiyi launched a new book, which is undoubtedly a very suitable time.

Xu Qi called to tell Bao Shiyi that "Malice" was ready to be published and distributed, and the number of first printing was directly 300,000.

This is obviously very optimistic about the novel "Malice".

Aside from the current topic of Bao 11, the first feeling of Liucheng Publishing House after reading the novel "Malice" is shock.

It's really impressive.

This mystery novel is completely different from ordinary mystery novels, the novel puts the murderer in front of people early on, but it uses a lot of space to explore the motive of the crime, which is exciting little by little, and the viewpoint, logic, foreshadowing, motives, accidents, and fairness arrangements are almost full marks.

The interlocking progress of the investigation has been turned back and forth, and the infinite possibilities of the narrative in the handwritten style are brought into full play, especially the profound depiction of complex human nature, and the chilling motives for killing, which are dazzling and speechless.

……

The members of the publishing house who have read this novel are very sure that this novel will be a big hit, and in terms of literary artistry, it is not worse than "The Crucible" at all, and it can even be said that it is a step further, with a complete insight into the evil of human nature.

Compared with "The Crucible", "Malice" can undoubtedly have a more exciting story.

Now that Bao 11 has a very high degree of topicality, Liucheng Publishing House will naturally make more use of it and promote it well.

……

Unlike Bao Shiyi, a rookie author, when "The Crucible" was launched, Liucheng Publishing House needed to contact many writers, hoping that those writers would also promote the book.

Now that Bao Shiyi is famous, a "Melting Pot" is called a conscientious author by many netizens.

This new book "Malice" is written by the writer Kong Zhi, who cried for "The Melting Pot", for Bao Shiyi.

"When I finished reading this malice, the sentence that kept coming back to my mind was that what scared him was not the violence itself, but the negative energy emitted by those who hated him. He had never imagined that there would be such malice in this world. I never thought about it, but this malice is so terrible, but so real. ”

"I've always felt that detective novels can't expose their cards too early, and the suspect will always reveal his identity in the last chapter, and exposing it early is simply driving himself to a dead end. In fact, whether detective novels can be written like this, Bao Eleven gives this kind of writing a possibility. He doesn't care about revealing his identity in advance, leading to the suspect being locked in the second chapter of the novel. However, this still makes us curious, that is, the suspect's motive for committing the crime. Bao Eleven does not sell off, and only begins to analyze in the next chapter, and soon gets the answer to the 'motivation' that the reader expects. ”

"Bao Shiyi's mastery is not finished, and what we consider to be 'motives' is also impure, and soon, he began to write several chapters that seem to be unrelated to the plot, but these are explained later, so as to overturn the so-called 'truth' of the case written earlier. ”

Just like the sentence in the book: Before you want to kill someone, you must first think about the motive for killing, which is probably unheard of. The difference in "Malice" is that at a time when many detective novels are entangled in analyzing the murderer's modus operandi, Bao Shiyi thinks about the motive for the crime and makes a big fuss about it. That's why Bao Eleven isn't afraid that the suspect's mystery will be revealed prematurely. ”

"After reading this novel, I don't know what words to use to describe it, and when I read the whole novel, maybe no words are enough to express the wonder of this novel. In this way, the genius writer Bao Shiyi took him without time to breathe, and his portrayal of human nature was incisive, and a simple case rose to the topic of exploring the evils of human nature. It's not just the murderer's real malice that sends chills down the spine, but the chilling self-question—"

"Who hasn't had such malice?"

……

Liucheng Publishing House's Weibo began to promote Bao Shiyi's latest novel "Malice", and at the same time, other well-known writers, such as Kong Zhi, and some mystery writers also jointly recommended it.

Everyone did not hesitate to express their appreciation and expressed their shock at the novel "Malice".

"An absolute classic, it's hard to imagine that it was written by a fifteen-year-old. ”

"After reading it, I just want to say that this novel breaks the traditional mystery novel, every time you feel that the event is reasonable and can be over, he will jump out and tell you where the hole is. The novel is a well-laid out game from the very beginning, and it is really shocking to use the characteristics of the novel to deceive the reader unconsciously!"

"I can't spoil it, I really can't spoil it, I just want to say that there are two things in the world that can't be looked at directly, one is the sun, and the other is the human heart. ”

……

"The ingenuity of the plot is really amazing, I highly recommend Bao Eleven's "Malice", and you won't know the origin of the title if you don't see the last page. A high school student's reasoning is really unimaginable, it can be so terrifying, and it makes people shudder to read it. ”

"After reading it, it's really quite shocking, I shudder when I think about it, the most terrible thing is the human heart, is it really so terrible that school violence is really so terrible"

······

The movie "The Crucible" is still being released, and the topic is still hot, and now Bao Shiyi's second novel "Malice" after "The Crucible" is here, and the name alone has surprised countless people.

Homicide?

The motive for the killing?

Malicious?

School violence?

A lot of questions about "Malice" popped up for the first time, and it is clear that the writers who promoted the new book did not directly spoil it.

For the story of "Malice", only the reader can feel the malice at the end, but those shocking words and highly recommended tone have made the hearts of many netizens hang.

The marketing promotion of Liucheng Publishing House, coupled with the high popularity of "The Melting Pot", many netizens are very curious and looking forward to it.

But some netizens directly expressed that they were worried that "Malice" was as tragic as "The Crucible", too pathetic to watch it.

In any case, Bao Eleven's "Malice" has been hyped up under such strong publicity.

In that amazing promotional slogan, under the expectation of everyone, the door of "Malice" was opened-

"The most persistent resentment, the most sinister human heart!"

"So, why kill people?"

"A high school student's deep "malice" was released with a shock!"

"This is the cause of the killing, and it is the prelude to the killing. ”
