Chapter 13: Limitations

The man who was killed and dumped by Shoji was the deputy director of an exhibition hall, secretly a middleman who used his position to resell paintings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Shoji's motive for killing was that his paintings were sold at a low price, and all the paintings were sold to others at a high price by middlemen, and Shoji felt that he had been deceived and asked the middlemen for money, but was refused, so Shoji committed the murder.

This is the rough transcript, but in fact, these are not Shoji's confessions, but the police found out through the interconnections of the middleman, and Shoji has not said a word since his arrest.

"Hasn't Shoji ever opened his mouth?" Xu Tian asked.

"No, no matter what means we do, Shoji will not say a word, I have been handling cases for more than 20 years, and I have never met such a prisoner, which is definitely a shame for my career." Team Leader Chen said resentfully.

"I think Shoji must have his own thoughts, what is he thinking? Know you can be rescued? Or do you know you can't be convicted? ”

"Impossible, the blood stains of the deceased have been checked in Shoji's house, and if the evidence is sufficient, even if the criminal does not admit guilt, he cannot be helped. It is even more impossible to be rescued, and now is not the era of robbing the Dharma field in ancient times. ”

"The two murders in that novel are too similar to the two murders in reality, and in the end, the old butler also died in a perfect secret room, let's put aside the murder case first, the writing method of that novel alone is very problematic."

"What's the problem?"

"Limitations! Don't you think that novels give us very big limitations? Both the characters and the plot in the novel are set by the author, and we cannot move freely in the story when we read the novel. This novel is written from the perspective of a detective, and the sense of substitution is very strong, and the reader has a feeling that he is a detective, but I think the author has set the detective in the novel as a fool. ”

What do you mean by that? I don't see anything wrong! ”

"Don't you think the detective's approach in the latest chapter is very childish and ridiculous? If I were to handle the case, I would never do any scene reproduction, even if I wanted to do a scene reproduction, how could I not arrange for the old housekeeper to be the first to go to the study? As a detective, this bit of thinking logic doesn't make sense, and that detective is undoubtedly a fool. ”

"But the author arranges it like this, and we can't do anything about it!"

"The problem is difficult, we can only read according to the author's ideas, and the 100,000 soft bonus set up makes ordinary readers forget to get to the bottom of the problem and complain, I have to say, whether it is the author or the novel website, this approach is very clever."

"But they can't deceive you, and if you hadn't told me what the problem was, I really wouldn't have found the problem."

"Then who do you think is the murderer in the novel?"

"When the author has not written all the background of the characters clearly, it is impossible to infer the murderer, everyone has a motive for killing, but what is behind everyone's motive for killing is not known, and there is a network of characters, all of these things can be combined to reason. In fact, the most important thing is the clues, now the novel is only serialized to the sixth chapter, but the novel has been describing the plot, the only two clues are the dagger that Fang Qingzhu hid under the desk, and then there is that Fang Qingzhu and Mrs. Fang both proved that they were looking up when they saw Commander Fang's death, these two clues alone are not enough to reason, we must continue to observe the rest of the novel. ”

"But the novel has been serialized for six days, and only one chapter is updated every day, when are we going to see? Real cases can't wait that long. ”

"Let's start with the real case, I found that all the cases in the novel were staged after the real case, maybe the author has been peeking at the whole process of the real case."

"You mean, one of those three suspects is the author of the novel?"

"That's just my first assumption, and if that's the case, that's fine, but if it's the second, it's pretty serious."

"What's the second one?"

"This second ...... It is likely that the murderer of the real case knows the modus operandi in the novel from the beginning, if this is the case, we must start the investigation from the novel, first of all, the author of this novel. ”

"It's not difficult to find the author, as long as the police come forward to contact the novel company, they can find the author's information."

"It won't go so well, since this author has the mind to set up mysteries, and the way to manipulate others to commit crimes, it means that this author is a person with very careful thinking logic, even if he registers a novel company writer account, I'm afraid he won't use his identity, and in the end we can only get nothing."

"So what should I do now? At the very least, we need to investigate, shall we? ”

"There must be a procedure for the investigation, and we can only bet on whether this author is a fool or not."

"Then I'll let Li Ming go to the novel company now."

"During this period, we also have to study the cases in the novel, by the way, you ask Li Ming to ask, does the novel company have any follow-up chapters of this novel, I think if the author wants to hide his identity, it is relatively large to directly submit the manuscript to the editor of the novel company by email, maybe the follow-up plot of the novel, the editor of the novel company should have it, at least it must be serialized to the chapter that allows readers to have clues to find, only these few chapters, no one can see who the murderer is."

After a while, Team Leader Chen put down the phone call to Li Ming, and the two continued to discuss the novel.

"You just said that the detective in the novel is set by the author and has a problem, I want to know, if you were the author of the novel, how would you set the rest of the story?"

"Your question is really sharp, and it is really interesting to have a puzzle solver set up a mystery, but I think it's really interesting to hear you say that."

"I'd like to hear your insights."

"In fact, the establishment of mysteries can be infinitely reverie at the beginning, and the important thing is that clues must be left for those who solve the mystery to do it, because there is no perfect criminal method in the world, no matter how smart the criminal in reality is, there must be omissions."

"Where do you think the two cases are lacking in reality?"

"The negligence of the interrogation room is on the surveillance, and the whole process of monitoring and filming must have a place to expose the murderer; The old lady's room is sparse, and the door that is not locked is an important sparse **, because the murderer can't lock the door from the inside, which is the murderer's omission, so I believe even more that there is no perfect criminal method in this world. ”
