Writers may mainly lie in three aspects, fame, money and meaning, the more fame you have, the more money you have, and the more money you have, you can write what you want to write and express what you want to express.

There are many novels, but there are not many novels that really have meaning, such as "Tragic Shijie", you can say that you can't understand him, but there is no doubt that the novel contains something profound, as a man who wants to become a writer, how can he not write a masterpiece? Of course, before creating a famous book, you must first lay the foundation of fame.

So fame is the beginning of all writers, and the easiest way to have fame is to participate in contests, which is why those talent shows are so popular. The original purpose of the Mephistopheles Awards was to discover new talents, so the number of submissions per day is very large. The level of the entries is also uneven, some are good and some are bad, some articles can still see clear typos, and some articles are carefully crafted, and every sentence can show the author's sincerity.

There are so many submissions every day, but there are still a few judges, so this makes the judges feel that Alexander, Saburo Ishinmuro is such a person. He has been a judge for the Mephistopheles Award for many years, and he is not a mystery novelist himself, but he is a well-known critic of mystery novels, and it is because he loves mystery novels that he recommended himself for this job.

"This year's Mephistopheles Awards are particularly popular!" Saburo Ishimuro sighed.

I've read a lot of mystery novels in a row, long, short, benge, social...... There are all kinds of lengths and factions, but there are good quality mystery novels among them. But it's been a long time since I've seen a novel that catches his eye.

After reading a short story again, it is not badly written, and it can be submitted. Saburo Ishimuro pondered for a few minutes and wrote down a six-point comment. In fact, the Mephistopheles Award is a special way of evaluation, each judge has the right to submit works, and then the submitted works are cross-scored, with a full score of 10, and the highest score of the ten judges' cross-scores is the best work.

"Not exactly sinned? Huaxia, Su Shichen? Saburo Ishimuro got a manuscript with a clear title and author. The most important thing is that the author of this novel is Su Shichen.

"Mystery novels written by Chinese people?" There was a strong suspicion in Saburo Ishinori's tone, and the meaning was self-evident, that is. Chinese people write good mystery novels? The overall level of mystery novels in the island country is indeed much stronger than that of Huaxia, and Saburo Ishimuro is indeed qualified to doubt it.

Complete crime basically refers to a crime that does not leave any evidence and clues, but there is no crime without clues in mystery novels, so the topic of incomplete crime is quite interesting.

The first case of "Five Clocks, Died in Early Spring, ......Eternal Love" was called Five Clocks. The text is very concise and sophisticated. And some of the allusions to the island countries in the book are completely handmade, if it weren't for the fact that it was written that the author was a Chinese, Ishimuro Saburo would not have known that it was written by a foreigner.

As the plot progresses, the wonderful places are revealed, and according to the alibi of the suspect written in the book, it is perfect, and no flaws can be found at all.

"It turned out to be another alibi trick." The method of creating an alibi through time is the lowest level, and many authors use the blind spots of time or make the reader obscure to achieve their goals. Ishimuro Saburo had read no less than ten novels like this before, so he wasn't very interested.

Quinn is known as an alibi master. His works are intricate, but because Su Shichen's English was very poor in his previous life, he naturally couldn't reach the point of reading the original novel, so he read the Chinese translation version, and he didn't know if it was the Chinese translation problem or the original style, he looked very tired.

But Tetsu Ayukawa is also different, he is a person who can support the Benge school by himself when he was called Benge School in his previous life. As mentioned above, the Bengeist school is very concerned about fairness, that is, to show all the evidence, and then challenge the reader, "Incomplete Crime" can be said to be a classic in the Bengepa.

"Huh?" The casual emotions in Saburo Ishinto's gaze inadvertently converged, "The text is very clear, there is no pretense to confuse the reader's content, and it can even be said that it is a little too clear, and it is even listed as a table of this time, which is completely clear at a glance, and the most important thing is this alibi......"

Saburo Ishimuro frowned, newcomers, old people, classics, new works, etc., he has read a lot of mystery novels, and he thinks that his IQ is not low, and even many of Benge's famous works can be seen one or two, but he can't see this novel at all. In the novel, the alibi of the time called Sukita is unassailable, and in Sukita's alibi, there are five clocks, a clock with clothing, a clock from a noodle shop, and so on, and clocks from five different places can be proved.

"What the hell is going on with this Tsubaki's alibi?" Saburo Ishimuro once again looked at the entire alibi several times, and there was not even a small detail of the loophole, and things that were too perfect were often false, which was not only known to Saburo Ishimuro, but also to the Ghost Police Department in "Incomplete Crime", but how to solve this perfect crime puzzle?

Saburo Ishimuro was full of interest, he wanted to see how this Chinese author Su Shichen wrote later, whether he couldn't bury the pit he dug, and finally killed himself.

In the previous life, the magnum opus "Vertigo" by Shoji Shimada on the earth, after reading it, you will definitely be as dizzy as the name, which appears Shijie Doomsday, the disappearance of the sun, the resurrection of corpses, orc monsters, nuclear wars and other plot elements, after reading it, you will definitely say what this is, the main line must not be too mixed.

So mystery novels can create atmosphere and set tricks, but they can't set up puzzles that they can't solve, and then use alien technology to end them in a hurry. Think about it, how much thought it takes to solve this puzzle for other readers, but Zuihou's answer is this, if you are a reader. Will you not beat people?

Saburo Ishimuro is watching with skepticism right now, because this is really an alibi without any flaws.

……

"That's what really makes use of psychological errors." Saburo Ishimuro put away his contempt, and then seriously figured out the reasoning of the protagonist of the case, the Onikan Police Department. The super logic made him impressed.

Until the end of the reasoning of the Oniguan Police Department, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" It's wonderful to crack the alibi! ”

Saburo Ishimuro exclaimed in disbelief, the five clocks that proved Sukita were not at all filled in as he thought, and he did not attribute the complex puzzle to some alien technology.

"The alibi of the five clocks is cracked one by one. The integrity is very high, and it's been a long time since I've seen a mystery novel with such strong logic. Saburo Ishimuro suddenly had such a question in his heart, according to the length of this manuscript. It should be more than 100,000 words, but the case was finished at about 10,000 words.

In fact, the reason is very simple, "Incomplete Crime" also has a subtitle: Ghost Police Department Detective Incident Book II. Incomplete crime is only one of the most important cases in this draft. "Incomplete Crime" is a group of twelve short stories, and these twelve short stories are all independent, and the main thing is that all of them are a challenge to alibi.

Saburo Ishimuro roughly flipped through the manuscript and found out about it, and couldn't help but sigh, this author named Su Shichen is really self-confident, and he dared to write such twelve independent short stories when he participated in the competition. It is important to know that the Mephistopheles Award is not limited in length, so it is completely possible to publish a single of these twelve short stories. According to the quality of "Five Clocks", it is entirely possible to become the best chance, but once the quality of one of these twelve short stories is a little lower, it will affect the overall level.

What exactly it is will only be known if you look down further......

"The Invisible Locomotive", "Incomplete Crime", "Express Izumo", "Dark Cave", "Fake Grave" and so on, and eleven more stories are slowly narrated.

The flashbacks of "Dark Cave" are amazing, and Zuihou has a sudden, stunning finish...... How did the body of the beautiful girl avoid everyone's attention and be transported to another location...... In the same carriage, who is that non-existent passenger......

There are also tricks about the railroad "Invisible Locomotive" and "Express Izumo" are described in a variety of different styles.

Rigorous reasoning, ingenious trickery, unexpected murderers, and a variety of portrayals, although they are twelve short stories, there is only one theme - an alibi that pushes the limits!

For Saburo Ishinomuro, it's a complete treat!

"This is the real mystery novel, the real original mystery novel." After Saburo Ishimuro finished reading "Incomplete Crime", he couldn't help but make such a comment.

The word Benge comes from the island country, in fact, it means orthodox, orthodox mystery novels, according to the Western classification method, Benge is classified in classical mystery novels.

"This is completely the work of a master of reasoning that breaks through the blind spots of human thinking, is this really a newcomer's work?" Saburo Ishimuro couldn't help but ask such questions.

Although the Mephistopheles Award does not stipulate that famous authors cannot participate, this is also an unspoken rule in the circle.

But each of these twelve novels can be said to be a classic, and this is entirely the work of an alibi master of reasoning. But looking at the name of the contributor, it is indeed a newcomer who has never heard of it at all, this can't be those masters in the circle wearing vests to tease their judges, right? Immediately, Saburo Ishimuro himself denied his conjecture, he would definitely remember such reasoning ability and pen stroke, but no mystery novelist in his mind has this kind of skill, is it really a newcomer who has accumulated a lot of experience? The most important point is that this is still a Chinese person, which can be said to subvert the cognition of Saburo Ishinburo.

Seeing a wonderful mystery novel, Saburo Ishimuro couldn't help but itch his hands, wrote a review for it, and then gave the article "Incomplete Crime" a high score of 9.8.

After I got all this, I started to continue reading the manuscript, and after reading "Incomplete Crime", I felt that the other novels were much worse.

"This is the most wonderful mystery novel I've seen so far, and if there are no accidents, this one should be the best one for "Incomplete Crime"."

Just when Saburo Ishimuro thought so, he saw another novel "Dongdong Suspension Bridge Falling", and the author of this novel is also Su Shichen......
