Chapter 59: Serialization

Such a topic came out of nowhere. Some people also suspect that it is hype, but most of the hype of the water army is a new vest, but after looking at the people who posted these posts, I found that they were all familiar faces.

Most of the people involved in the discussion in the post are old people in the forum, so these people can't be all water armies. If so, then the capabilities of these trolls are too powerful.

No matter what kind of idea you have, when you see everyone discussing a topic so enthusiastically. Most netizens can't help but get involved.

In this way, people keep leaving, and new people are constantly joining in. As if snowballing, more and more people are involved in the discussion of this topic. Later, most netizens had an impression of this matter.

This kind of thing doesn't just happen in the "House of Reasoning", there are many places where online mystery novel lovers gather. Similar posts appeared on those forums. Under the guidance of well-intentioned people, the topic of 'Zhu Ziqing writes mystery novels' has also entered the attention of more and more people.

These well-intentioned people were naturally arranged by Yue Zhenlun. Since their newspaper has set up a section for mystery novels, it is natural that they will not ignore the influence of the Internet. I have set up some accounts in major mystery novel forums very early. These accounts usually appear as enthusiasts, and they are the best propagandists at critical moments.

Tactics like today, which he has used countless times. Their newspaper's mystery fiction section has been able to hold on to the current day despite a sluggish market, and these accounts have contributed greatly. And this time, he won't hide it. I took out all the vests just to make a deep impression on everyone. Prima facie, the results are very good.

Although everyone is distrustful of whether Zhu Ziqing can control this subject, he is not disappointed at all. Originally, he didn't expect to gain everyone's trust just by hype, and his purpose was to let more people know about it and arouse everyone's curiosity.

I'm not afraid that they will question, but I am afraid that they will not look at it. As long as they are willing to pick it up, he believes that with the quality of this novel, it is only a matter of time before he conquers these mystery lovers.

This novel was written by Zhu Ziqing, and he naturally will not forget Zhu Ziqing's fan base: Seven Nights House. The so-called 'House of Seven Nights' is actually the 'Seven Nights Fairy Tale' section of the former "Children's Literature".

As Zhu Ziqing gradually became famous, his fans increased. The number of people who went to the 'Seven Nights Fairy Tale' section to swipe posts also increased, causing the official website to be stuck. After obtaining Zhu Ziqing's consent, "Children's Literature" separated the "Seven Nights Fairy Tales" section to form a new website, which is now "Seven Nights Home".

Yue Zhenlun's post on 'Seven Nights House' is not as obscure as the mystery fiction website. directly pointed out that Zhu Ziqing wrote a mystery novel, which was serialized in the Southern Metropolis Evening News. Interested friends should not miss it.

It turns out that having this sentence is enough, and the reaction of fans is diametrically opposed to that of mystery fiction lovers.

"I'm tired of writing poetry for seven nights, and I'm starting to plague the mystery fiction world again. All I can say is, poor mystery writers, are you ready to be slapped in the face?"

"I'll just say one thing, where can I buy the Southern Metropolis Evening News?"

"What other works can stump me for seven nights? ”

Fans are blind, whether they like it or not, as long as it is an idol, they must like it. They also never doubt that their idols can do it, because idols are omnipotent. So here, most of them are asking where to buy the Southern Metropolis Evening News, who made it a regional newspaper.

Zhu Ziqing is the most eye-catching focus nowadays, and no matter how small the news about him is, it can attract a lot of media attention. The movement of the mystery novel forum is so loud that it is impossible for them not to know it.

"Zhu Ziqing wants to enter the world of mystery novels?"

As a media, I am all too familiar with the hype. It's easy to tell if it's hype with a little attention. But they were still a little skeptical about the purpose of the hype.

The reason is the same, mystery novels are not so easy to write. Everyone admits that Zhu Ziqing is talented, but reasoning novels are different from ordinary works. has unique requirements for life experience and way of thinking, can he master this subject?

"Zhu Ziqing rashly entered the reasoning circle, is he confident or arrogant?"

"Mystery novel: Does Zhu Ziqing prove that he is omnipotent again, or does he encounter Mai Cheng?"

In short, everyone is very optimistic about Zhu Ziqing's entry into the reasoning circle. The media is in decline. People who like him are secretly worried, and those who hate him have begun to celebrate with their crowns.

But no matter what kind of attention, Yue Zhenlun's goal has been achieved. Seeing the right time, he started a new round of hype.

In the gathering place of mystery novel lovers, when the topic caused by the hypothetical proposition about whether Zhu Ziqing can write a good mystery novel gradually subsided, another brand new post appeared again.

"Zhu Ziqing's latest masterpiece, the mystery novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" landed on the Southern Metropolis Evening News tonight. ”

Everyone is not stupid, and now they have all reacted to the hype.

"What's going on, isn't this a discussion post? How did it turn into hype?"

"I also wondered, seeing that it was a familiar face who posted it, so I came in. I didn't expect it to be hype. The person who posted the post is a trolls? It's too hidden, isn't it?"

Don't think that the people who said these words were innocent people, many of them were vests in Yue Zhenlun's hands. That's how they muddy the waters and hide themselves.

It's a simple and old-fashioned technique, but it's useful and always works. Most netizens don't have a strong ability to distinguish in this regard, or because it doesn't harm their interests, they don't care at all.

"I knew it was hype, but so what. I'm still not optimistic. ”

"yes, I'm not going to buy it anyway. ”

"All I can say is that Southern Metropolis Daily has succeeded. My curiosity has been piqued by you. I'll buy your newspaper, but if the novel is not well written. Humph......"

"My family is from SZ City, everyone is waiting for tonight's spoilers. ”

"My family is from the demon capital, let me test the poison for everyone. If I don't show up at ten o'clock tonight, I'm poisoned. ”

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the Southern Metropolis Evening News was officially launched. Its circulation in previous issues remained at around 170,000 copies. In this issue, Yue Zhenlun was ruthless and directly printed 200,000 copies. However, he was not worried about not being able to sell at all, but felt that he was a little conservative. This confidence comes from the quality of Zhu Ziqing's work and the miracles he has created in the past.

And the final sales were as he expected, and the 190,000 copies that were put on SZ City were sold out at around 6 p.m. And the 10,000 copies put into the demon capital were sold out in only half an hour.

Looking at the order in his hand, Yue Zhenlun's mouth was crooked. At the same time, I also have an intuitive understanding of Zhu Ziqing's influence. He secretly decided that he must have a good relationship with the other party in the future. Backed by such a big tree, his Southern Metropolis Evening News may not be able to become the second "Children's Literature".

"The Devotion of Suspect X" has a total of about 150,000 words and is divided into 19 chapters. This issue is the first chapter of the series.

This chapter is quite ordinary, just an introduction to the main characters and the causes of events. But at the end, the ex-husband's abusing wife Xiao Gao (river crab) tide broke out.

No one was disappointed with this chapter. Most novels pay attention to foreshadowing, and mystery novels especially need foreshadowing. Only when the foreshadowing is done can the plot behind be deduced logically.

What do mystery lovers love the most? of course, solving the mystery left by the author and guessing where the plot will go. Even if the first chapter is only serialized, it doesn't affect everyone's enthusiasm at all.

"I tested the poison and came back. Good news for everyone, I'm still alive. I'm telling you bad news, this should be a long novel, and now it's poisonous weeds or fairy grass can't be seen. ”

"Judging from the first chapter, it's not badly written. I guess the scumbag ex-husband in the back will be killed, and then all the evidence points to Hua Jing. But in the end, it certainly won't be her who kills. ”

"Heroes see things the same way, and that's what I think. ”

"The two upstairs are too taken for granted, aren't they? If it's so easy for you to guess, is it still called a mystery novel? ”

But when they saw the next day's serialization, they couldn't hold it.

"Can anyone tell me what this is? The author has directly written out who is the culprit, the process of committing the crime, and the result of the commission of the crime, which are all the three important factors of the mystery novel, and the mystery has been solved, what else do we want to see?"

"I'll just say that Zhu Ziqing just went back to writing fairy tales, and speculative novels are not suitable for him. ”

What is the best part of mystery novels? Nine out of ten people can say that detectives and criminals are fighting wits and courage. The rest of the people will say that reading mystery novels is actually enjoying the process of solving mysteries.

But if there is a mystery novel, it will tell you who the criminal is, the process of committing the crime, and the result of the crime at the beginning. Will you still go to see it?

Zhu Ziqing did just that. No, it should be said that Keigo Higashino did it. At the beginning of "The Devotion of Suspect X", he clearly presented the three elements of mystery fiction to the reader. But it was this unconventional beginning that created his legend.

However, people in this world do not know this. When they saw this chapter, there was an uproar. Doubts about Zhu Ziqing also followed.

"Originally, I didn't like him to write mystery novels. It's good now, he's more ignorant than I thought. I've explained everything clearly at the beginning, what will we see later?"

"Disappointment, what a disappointment. I heard that he was going to enter the reasoning circle, and I was quite looking forward to it. I never expected him to be so ignorant. Even if you don't understand it, it's not okay to take the trouble to look up the writing guidelines for mystery novels on the Internet before writing. ”
