Chapter Ninety-Four: The Pinnacle of Mystery Fiction
As usual, he reasoned about the case while reading the story, and he thought about the dialogues and actions of each character for a long time, not letting go of any clues, but he still didn't have the slightest clue, the unburned piece of paper didn't bring him much breakthrough, and everyone had a perfect alibi, which made the case fall into a deadlock.
Gradually, he was gradually attracted by the wonderful reasoning of the protagonist Poirot, and slowly forgot his reasoning, and when he saw the end of the story, the whole person was stunned! Twelve of them were murderers! The murderer must not have left, he can be sure, but he didn't expect that in the whole carriage, except for the deceased, all of them were murderers, no wonder everyone had a perfect alibi, it was precisely everyone who was there!
Such a perfect setting and wonderful reasoning make Del. Piero was very excited, he had not seen such a good mystery novel in many years, and he could even say that it was the best mystery novel he had ever seen!
A person who loves mystery novels suddenly sees a mystery novel that makes him unable to extricate himself, as if he has found the lover of his dreams, his body has begun to tremble, and he feels that his heart attack is about to be committed.
"Oh, Del, what's wrong with you? Feeling unwell? Another middle-aged judge next to him saw Del. Piero looked very worried, and immediately cared: "If you are not feeling well, I suggest that you go home and rest immediately, or go to the hospital, and the work here can be left to us to complete." ”
"No!" Bender. Piero shook his head and said, "I appreciate your concern, Harry, and I think you should see what kind of story I see." With that, he handed his tablet to Harry.
"Murder on the Orient Express? I just wanted to read this novel, what's the matter, Del, is this novel wonderful? Harry asked, frowning.
Old Del was a little incoherent with excitement: "Wonderful? No, no, no! Harry, you're wrong, this novel can't be described as wonderful anymore, it should be...... Oh...... No, no, no, I'm running out of words, I can't describe this novel, I want you to read it, although it has a lot of words, but I think you don't think so when you read it. ”
Harry pursed his lips and said with a slight suspicion, "Del, you must have not seen a wonderful work for a long time, and I don't believe this novel can be as good as you say?" As he spoke, he opened the novel "Murder on the Orient Express" on his tablet.
Lin ...... Laugh...... Is it from the Huaxia delegation? He knew how to read Huaxia's name, but when he saw that it was written by Del. Piero's sky-high novel was written by a Chinese man and let out a mocking laugh.
"My dear Del, you must be confused, how can a Chinese person write a good mystery novel? The best mystery novel they wrote, that is, it is quite qualified, far from reaching a higher standard, this novel is written by a Chinese. Harry said with a smile.
Bender. Piero rolled his eyes and said, "You're still making a statement after reading it." After that, I started to look at other works.
When Harry looked at it for a while, the expression on his face had become serious, the contempt on his face had disappeared, and when he saw that it was almost over, his expression was already full of anxiety, and he still didn't have a reliable inference about who the murderer was! When he saw the end of the story, he almost didn't vomit blood!
The ending of the story turned out to be a big shock!
All are murderers! And it makes sense! What kind of head can come up with this story? Can you set the means? Lin Xiao, this Chinese can not only write mystery novels in Western ways, but also write extremely wonderful!
As old Del said, this story can no longer be described as wonderful, but too fucking wonderful!
Harry glanced at Old Del, and when he saw that Old Del was looking at him with a playful eye, he couldn't help but blush, and his heart was full of shame.
Why can't Chinese people write mystery novels? That's because of the difference in culture, that's because of the limitations of thinking and geography, it's not that they don't have masters in this area, Lin Xiao, the author of the "Murder on the Orient Express", isn't he a master? And it seems that he is still the world's top mystery novel master!
It was a big surprise for him! Maybe it's also the surprise of this exchange meeting!
Many Westerners have a very upright concept, and almost all of the judges this time are such people, they only come for the works, not for their own country, here they have to maintain their original intentions, to ensure the fairness of the competition, so that the world literature can be more progressive, can get better and better, otherwise it will only be counterproductive, and then the exchange meeting will be useless and become a toy for some people.
Harry had already determined in his heart that "Murder on the Orient Express" would definitely advance, but he still couldn't wait to recommend this novel to the judges around him, and it was not one, all of a sudden, fifty people in their group were reading this novel.
When everyone watched it, there had never been an unprecedented situation in their group, and all fifty people always thought that "Murder on the Orient Express" passed the second round! Huaxia temporarily locked a place in the finals!
After this hurdle, the 40 selected places will be selected for the finals, after which the top 10 will be selected.
At this time, the fifty of them suddenly felt a little sad, such a good novel is enough to say that it is the pinnacle of mystery novels, but it is a pity that it did not appear in the finals! If you appear in the final, you will definitely win! It's a pity that the rules of the exchange meeting are that each novel can only get a place in the first and second rounds, and cannot participate in the final round, and they suddenly feel that the rules of the exchange meeting are not so fair.
But fortunately, since this novel has appeared, it will not be buried, it will radiate a dazzling light and shine in the world of mystery novels!
They believe that this novel must be the best novel of the entire exchange in terms of the quality of the work alone.
Soon, under their publicity, the entire jury read this "Murder on the Orient Express", and almost all of them were stunned, such a mysterious plot and god-like mystery were something they had never seen or thought of!
Without any spoilers, no one could have guessed the killer at the end!
And the final result also made them feel the warmth of human nature, a person who committed a heinous crime, was killed, in terms of law, it was murder, but in terms of human feelings, it was for heaven! Although Poirot did not approve of the murderers' actions, why should he seek justice for a man who had committed the most heinous crimes?
So he gave two results, and finally chose the first one.
The brilliance of humanity is incomparably dazzling at this moment!
"Murder on the Orient Express" is the pinnacle of mystery fiction in the eyes of these judges, and it deserves it!
