"What's the complaint? You can't solve it? Wang Bo turned his head and asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Elizabeth made a powerless gesture and said with a wry smile: "This matter has to be dealt with by you, it's a bit magical, I don't know how to deal with it." ”

Wang Bo tidied up his uniform and said, "Okay, you first tell me what you are complaining about, and then bring someone to me." ”

Elizabeth spread her hands again, and then she opened her mouth to speak, but instead of making a sound, she looked at him in embarrassment.

Wang Bo frowned and said, "What's the matter?" What do you mean? ”

Elizabeth said: "The complainant doesn't want to come to see you, well, I don't know what to say, chief, that is, we have a public bathroom in our town, right?" Does this complaint mean that there is discrimination in our bathrooms, sexism? It's discrimination anyway. ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Bo was also confused.

Elizabeth asked, "Well, Chief, you know, there are nearly 7 billion people on Earth, and there are men and women of all genders, but there are some people who can't figure out their gender from birth. ”

Wang Bo blinked: "Can't figure out your gender, you mean, uh, someone like Brother Chun?" ”

"Who?" Elizabeth asked, "You know the androgynous?" Have you seen it? If you're familiar with them, things are easy to do. ”

After listening to her words, Wang Bo probably understood, and he asked, "It won't be that someone said that our toilets are not complete enough, right?" Do you have to set up a gender-neutral toilet? ”

The town is determined to create tourism, so the public facilities must be complete, there are more than a dozen public toilets alone, all of which are very luxurious mobile toilets, and Wang Bo hired five people to clean them.

But of course, these toilets are only different from men and women, and he didn't have any unisex toilets in the first place.

Elizabeth nodded and said, "Yes, that's the case, some tourists say that they are gender-neutral, I think New Zealand society is tolerant and free, in order to respect the rights and needs of these people, we should set up gender-neutral toilets, right?" ”

Lao Wang patted his forehead depressedly, New Zealand has a total population of four million, he has never heard of such a thing in China, and he didn't expect to encounter it here.

He didn't have any experience with similar things, so he searched the Internet.

New Zealand has a lot of attention, and gender-neutral toilets are one of them, and many public places, including shopping malls, bus stops and public entertainment venues, have begun to set up "gender-neutral toilets", or "gender-neutral toilets".

The signs of these genderless bathrooms are quite interesting, generally there are signs hanging at the door of the men's and women's bathrooms to separate, the men's toilet with the pants sign is attached, the women's toilet is equipped with the skirt standard, and the pattern on the standard configuration of the genderless bathroom is half a skirt and a trouser leg......

In addition, the word unisex or allgender is usually marked under the signage, so that the bathroom, whether it is male, female or unisex, can be used freely, and is not intended for unisex people.

Wang Bo estimates that both men and women can use it, but also to eliminate the strange eyes of some people, after all, if the use is restricted, then whoever goes is neutral, in order to avoid discrimination, neutral people will not go to such a bathroom.

At first, he thought that he would have to buy a new toilet, so he didn't have to go through the hassle, just buy a sign and put it on, because this toilet is allowed to be used by both men and women.

Later, Bowen came over to get the documents, and saw that he was about to order the sign with the information about his wandering, and directly shook his head and smiled: "You don't need to buy it, just make this yourself, give it to me, and you can hang it up tomorrow." ”

In the afternoon, the small-town writer Hill entered the door, handed him a hard drive, and said, "Inside is the first part of my novel, you see." ”

Wang Bo was surprised: "You are fast enough." ”

It's been less than two months since the two of them talked, and the speed with which they completed a detective novel based on reasoning is astonishing, after all, according to New Zealand publishing rules, a novel is about 300,000 words.

Hill shrugged and said, "No, it's just the first step, about 100,000 words." ”

Lao Wang pouted, this speed is too slow, it took two months to produce 100,000 words? Fortunately, what he wants to do is a physical book, if he writes online articles in China, at this speed, it will definitely hit the street!

He turned on the computer and looked at it, and the story cut into quickly:

Pukkawa, a small city more than 100 kilometres south of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, is fed by the Waikato River, New Zealand's largest river, providing an abundant source of water for crops to grow and life to survive.

The land is fertile, the terrain is open, and the farms are next to each other.

At noon, the sun was blazing, and the policeman Duke was looking at an old-fashioned notebook with a puzzled face, and he wanted to lie on the notebook to rest for a while, and then a police call suddenly rang!

The appearance of this phone call dispelled Duke's sleepiness and broke the leisurely and quiet idyllic life of the farm city......

At the beginning of the story, Wang Bo guessed the background and prototype of this case as soon as he looked at the place - the mystery of the Pukkawa Blood House!

This is a case that has been widely circulated in New Zealand, and it has not been solved until now, and the case has been around for nearly half a century, and this is an old case 45 years ago.

In such cases, it is inevitable that there will be controversy, and there will be a reflection of reality and a mockery of the police system, but in New Zealand it doesn't matter, because the police and politicians are used to ridicule.

I have to say that Hill's thinking is really powerful, the writing is concise and powerful, and the plot is treacherous, which just fits the characteristics of a big hit in detective novels.

The next time, Wang Bo was reading this novel, and 100,000 words consumed him more than two hours, because the development of the story during the period was quite brain-burning, and as a policeman, he put himself in the shoes of the story and thought about the development of the story, which was more time-consuming.

After reading it, Wang Bo looked up and found that Hill had not left, still waiting in his office, full of anticipation.

"You didn't go back?"

Hill said: "Of course, you are the first reader, I need to know your ......"

"Hurry up and go back and continue writing, I want to watch the plot below!"

Although Wang Bo's tone was rude, Hill laughed happily when he heard his words, which were more powerful than any compliment.

Rubbing his hands, he asked, "Look, this novel should be no problem being published, right?" I mean publishers publish, not themselves. ”

Wang Bodao: "There must be no problem, uh, what does it mean to publish yourself?" Previous your novels? ”

Hill said embarrassedly: "I published the first two novels at my own expense, and the publisher was unwilling to sign my copyright, so if I wanted to publish and sell money, I had to pay for it myself." ”

Speaking of this, he was happy again: "This should not be needed, I also think it is great." ”

Wang Bodao: "Of course, but why do you have to publish it? There are other avenues, man! ”
