Chapter 15 This One Will Surely Catch Fire

Unable to resist her sister's insistence, Nabe Shion picked up "The Mystery of Rice Flowers" and continued to look down along the previous page number.

My sister has also been nurtured by mystery novels since she was a child, and the works that can be favored by her must have something unique, but she hasn't discovered it yet? As a professional editor, I can't be as good as my sister who is in high school.

Thinking of this, Nabe Shion cheered up and looked at it seriously.

As the plot progresses to the middle stage, everyone becomes suspicious, which is a common technique in mystery novels, but it is also from this point that the detective characters in the book begin to deny these suspects one by one.

Expanding the suspicion, and then shrinking, it's all a routine, and so far she hasn't seen anything special about this book, but just when Nabe Shion was about to finish the story, her sister Momiji suddenly showed her head.

"Wow."

She grabbed the book in front of Nabe Shion.

"Sister, you can't read the next content anymore, now you can guess who is the murderer?"

Many people have this habit when reading mystery novels, that is, the last part of the book is deliberately not watched, but the book is closed, and they think about who is the real murderer, of course, provided that they have all the clues and intelligence.

"Oh? You mean to say that when I saw this, there were already clues that could point to the murderer? ”

Facing her sister's inquiry, Nabe Momiji nodded excitedly: "The clues can be said to be far exceeded." ”

Hearing her sister's words, Nabe Shion frowned: "Then since that's the case...... The murderer is the adopted son of the rich Rice Flower? He has a full motive for committing the crime, and the rich Rice Flower will leave him a large inheritance after his death. ”

"No, the adopted son was very suspicious from the beginning, and characters like this are usually traps set by the author, in order to interfere with the reader's train of thought, and the adopted son cannot be a murderer."

Nabe Shion tried to analyze, but Momiji had a smile on her lovely face, as if she wasn't worried that her sister would see through the truth of the story.

"Judging from the appearance of Momiji, the murderer can surprise you, which means that you have not suspected someone from the beginning, and this contrast makes you so surprised, so the murderer is...... The main character in the book, who is my sister? ”

"Oh?" Momiji raised her eyebrows, noncommittal to her sister's statement.

"This sister has shown a lot of abnormalities from the beginning, she knows everything about chasing after the wind, and as my sister, I am the only doctor in the neighborhood, and my sister can have a lot of information that no one else knows, and the widow's husband and the widow's death are handled by me, the doctor......"

"Hey, forget it, Sister Ziyuan, keep looking down, it seems that you can't guess the murderer."

Feeling her sister's sympathetic gaze, Nabe Shion continued to look down, she was really interested this time, who would the murderer be?

Read on.

End of reading.

"Smack!"

The detective in the book points out the murderer!

Nabe Shion slammed the page shut, her face pale.

"The murderer turned out to be me!?"

When he saw the detective pointing out that the murderer was herself, Nabe Shion immediately trembled with empathy, and at the same time, when reading the book, the clues that were hinted at before all surfaced in Nabe Shion's brain.

"No wonder the article mentions my time many times, as a murderer and as a doctor, I can provide the wrong time, and there are many hints in the article, but I completely ignore these hints under habitual thinking......" Nabe Shion's hand holding the page couldn't help but get up, "Drink it on the head." ”

Nabe Momiji squinted her eyes and looked at her sister with a smile, she had already guessed that her sister would behave like this.

"At first glance, I thought that this book did not have a great trick, everything is an old-fashioned way, but tricks, tricks ......"

Nabe Shion's face flushed, she didn't know what to say, she couldn't think of too good words and sentences to sum up the feeling.

Momiji on the side added her sister's thoughts: "But the trick is not in the case, but in the narrative method, right, sister?" ”

"That's right! That's it! Separately to see the process, the trick is very simple, but the unprecedented narrative method makes up for this shortcoming, I didn't expect that on top of so many mystery novels that have been written by predecessors, there are still people who can write new ideas. ”

"Sister, is this book qualified for publication?"

"Of course it's enough!" Nabe Shion patted the handle of the sofa, and the excitement could be seen in his eyes, "This is the most I've seen this year, no, in the past few years...... Special mystery novels. ”

She originally wanted to say that it was the most powerful, but after thinking about it, she still used the most special, and this kind of subjective perspective is the murderer's writing, which can indeed be called special.

"No, I'll have to contact the author quickly...... Forgot! I left the envelope in the editorial office. ”

Nabe Shion didn't expect that she would have such an excited day, if it weren't for the fact that the mail department was closed now, she would have wanted to return to the editorial office to contact the author of the book in the evening.

"Sister, you don't have to be in such a hurry, since the other party sent the original manuscript, that is to say, only you can see it."

"That's not necessarily, maybe the other party has a copy, and at the same time sent the manuscript to other places, such as Wenchun." Nabe Shion held the manuscript, although he knew that the possibility of what he said was basically impossible to happen, but he still couldn't help but be anxious in his heart.

She regretted why she wanted to watch other walking works in the afternoon, and she would have watched this "Rice Flower Mystery Case" first.

Early the next morning, Nabe Shion was the first to go to the editorial office in a hurry, and as soon as the editor-in-chief arrived, she immediately rushed into the office with the original manuscript.

"Editor-in-chief Mukai!" Nabe Shion's face was ruddy, and she was still a little immersed in the shock of last night, "This book, you must read it and see the end." ”

"Oh?" Editor-in-chief Mukai had just hung up his coat, and when he saw Nabe Shion's hurried appearance, his serious face relaxed slightly, "Is it a good work?" ”

"Yes, no, very good work, maybe this book...... I can catch fire! ”

"Haha, then I must take a look." Regarding Nabe Shion's statement, the editor-in-chief of Mukai smiled noncommittally.

For these newcomers who have just entered the industry, he has a heart of love, not because of the background of Nabe Aster, whether it can be a big fire, where can this little newcomer see, even if it is an old editor like himself, sometimes there are times when he looks away.

But you can't say it like this, otherwise it will discourage the newcomer.

Taking the original manuscript, Editor-in-Chief Mukai looked at Nabe Shion with a smile.

This good-looking newcomer seemed to be worried that he wouldn't watch the work, so he simply stood aside, as if to say with his eyes, 'Editor-in-chief, I'm going to stare at you to the end!' ’。

“……”

Shaking his head and smiling, the editor-in-chief of Mukai flipped the wrinkled work with his big hand that had been pinched by Nabe Shion.

Thank you for the tip!
