What's going on?

It turned out that Anthony, a well-known mystery writer in the United States, as one of the judges of the Ellen Award, saw "The Mystery of the Greek Coffin" written by the Chinese writer Su Mo, and was immediately shocked!

This mystery novel was known as the Bible of mystery novels in the previous life, and it is a peerless classic of mystery master Ellery Quinn, whose mystery ingenuity, logical rigor, reasonable layout, and fluency are rare models in mystery novels!

Such an excellent work captured Anthony's heart at once, and he strongly recommended this work to the committee as the best of the year, he thought that everyone would be conquered by this work, who knew that the answer he got was, very good, but at most he could be given a best newcomer, and the best of the year should be left to others!

So Anthony stubbornly asked the reason, and finally knew that it was because the book was not written by a Chinese person!

It turned out that at the beginning of last year, Mr. Maxi, a great writer in the United States and one of the world's three major reasoning masters, passed away, which was an important blow to the reasoning literature of the United States. In today's world, known as the three major powers of reasoning are England, the United States and the Japanese country, each of the three countries has a reasoning writer in charge, even if these three writers are old, sealed pen for many years, but they are the spiritual symbol in the hearts of all reasoning writers, but God is not beautiful, next year the youngest Maxi will die first, and among the many mystery writers in the United States, no one can take over the mantle of the old man, just last year, the Ellen Award for the best novel of the year was won by an unknown young writer in Mosesgo, and since then his reputation has been shocking!

In order to save some of the speculative literature in the United States, the Ellen Award selection committee decided to support the works of domestic writers this year.

The United States claims to be the most inclusive and open country in the world, but for the sake of national interests, some people's practices run counter to the slogan of freedom and equality that they have been shouting all year round, but because it has been shouting for so many years, there are really stubborn scholars who only look at academic quality and ignore other factors.

And Anthony is such a man of integrity.

"Mr. Anthony! Please think seriously and calmly, we are doing this entirely for the sake of our own speculative literature! ”

Anthony shook his head: "No, you are the young writers who are harming us by doing this!" Mr. Maxi, who has left us, will not tolerate this kind of thing that buries the classics, don't we claim to be compatible with everything, academic freedom? I don't want to say more, as long as you can find another work that is better than this "Greek Coffin Mystery", I have nothing to say! ”

The other members smiled wryly, as if they were a little ashamed, and then the chairman said, "Well, Anthony, please give us ten minutes, and in ten minutes, we will give you a clear answer!" ”

"Well, I hope that all the gentlemen present here will not forget their most basic conscience as a scholar!"

Anthony dropped a sentence and turned to walk out of the conference room.

As soon as Anthony left, the other committee members fell silent, and no one knew how to speak.

After a long time, the chairman sighed: "Gentlemen, it seems that we have to follow Anthony's advice"

The other committee members also nodded helplessly, first, this "The Mystery of the Greek Coffin" is indeed a rare classic, and second, because of Anthony's existence. Originally, if the committee was united, it would not be difficult to bury this work, just declare to the outside world that they had not seen the manuscript or the manuscript was lost, but they encountered Anthony's hard stubble, if he poked it out, the prestige of the Ellen Award would be greatly hit or even collapsed, which is not something that everyone can bear.

"Ueno-kun, what's wrong with you!"

Kobayashi's words attracted the attention of the members of the Ranbu Award, and when everyone looked up, they saw Ueno stunned in his seat, unable to help himself with tears streaming down his face, as if he had encountered the greatest despair and grief in his life.

"I'm ......," Ueno choked, but couldn't say a word.

Everyone panicked, thinking that some of Ueno's relatives had died, but just now he was still reading the works of the candidacy, and he didn't receive any phone calls.

In the face of everyone's concern, Ueno wiped the tears on his face, took a long breath, and said with a forced smile: "Let everyone laugh, I'm fine, I was brought in by this work, I have to say, there is such an excellent and special mystery novel this year!" ”

Everyone else is a little speechless, we are reading a mystery novel, and it's not a romance novel, as for crying like this?!

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Ueno called someone in and asked him to take the "White Night Walk" in his hand and make several copies of it, and then send it to everyone.

The committee members were really a little interested, and they put down the manuscript in their hands one after another, picked up "White Night Walking" and began to read......

A day passed like this, and the people guarding outside the review room couldn't help but wonder when they saw that it was dark, it had been a day, and it seemed that only Ueno had just gone out and gone home, and he also told him not to go in at will and disturb the other committee members to read, so what about the other committee members?

Could it be that Ueno-kun killed everyone else?!

I have to say that the person outside the door is also a fanatical mystery novel fan, and his imagination is really rich, so he gritted his teeth and slammed the door in, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

The commissioners are still alive and well!

However, the food delivered in today was put aside untouched, and the committee members were frowning and looking at the books in their hands with frowns, and what was even more surprising was that two committee members, who were known for their super fast reading, sat there in a daze, with heavy faces, as if they were mourning.

"Leng Xuan, does the dress you have ordered still fit?"

In Wenhui's office, Chu Mingyu smiled at Leng Xuan.

"It fits so well, thank you Mr. Chu for your care!" Leng Xuan smiled from ear to ear, but suddenly said with some worry: "But Mr. Chu, can I really go to receive the award?" ”

Chu Mingyu waved his hand, and his expression was bright: "Don't worry, it's not in vain that I've been active in the United States for a few months, this time the Ellen Award lottery will definitely have your name, either the best newcomer or the best novella, and then you can wear that beautiful dress to the United States to receive the award as the first person in China, and you can't do it if you want to be popular!" ”

When Leng Xuan heard this, the scene of himself standing on the high platform energetically and surrounded by cheering crowds suddenly appeared in his mind, and his heart was extremely joyful.

"Mr. Chu's cultivation Leng Xuan is toothless and unforgettable!"

"It's easy to say, remember, prepare your speech, and say something to promote my country's prestige in front of the media, the Chinese people eat this the most, and then I want to see who can still overpower you!"

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the three major awards to be announced.
