"Well, you're the Tony Monet who wrote Detective Monet?" Andrei asked tentatively.

Monet nodded and replied, "Yes, I am, why do you like to read detective novels also Sergeant Andrei?" ”

Originally, Monet thought that he had met another loyal reader, but he didn't expect Andre to frown and say: "To be honest, I really like to read it, and I buy every issue of your work as soon as possible, but I still hope that Mr. Monet will not write it again in the future!" ”

Not to mention Monet, even Sheriff Klein, who was standing on the side, was taken aback and couldn't help asking: "Andre, are you confused, since you like to read it, why don't you want Mr. Monet to continue writing?" ”

"It's because he writes too well and too realistically, but the problem is that the subject matter he writes is too dangerous, this is a detective novel, although in the end it is all about the triumph of the detective. But on the other hand, this is also to teach those potential criminals how to commit crimes and how to avoid the pursuit of the police, especially Mr. Monet's criminal methods are so clever and imaginative, others I don't know, anyway, I, an old policeman who has worked for more than ten years, ask myself if I encounter such criminals and criminal methods, I will definitely not be able to detect.

The reason why I have to buy all the detective fiction magazines at the first time in every issue is because I really like to read detective novels, especially "Detective Monet" written by you, Mr. Monet; On the other hand, I am afraid that the criminals will buy the magazine before me, learn the modus operandi inside, and then commit the crime, and if I can't crack this modus operandi and let the criminal slip away, then I will not be derelict in my duty?

But now, my worst fear has finally happened, that is, the criminal has mastered the perfect crime method that Mr. Monet has come up with recently, but those of us who are police officers don't know it, and what is even more terrifying is that the criminal actually started to commit crimes according to this method!

Mr. Monet, for the sake of social stability, in order to stop providing these potential criminals with the latest crime ideas, please don't write detective novels in the future, okay? Andre said excitedly.

Andre's words made Monet and Klein fall into deep thought, just now when Andre frankly said that he couldn't crack the modus operandi created by Monet, Klein thought that he couldn't crack it either, so according to this line of thought, the more superb the criminal methods in these detective novels written by Monet, the greater the potential threat to society, even if the criminals will not be stupid enough to completely copy the detective novels that have been published, but at least they will be inspired in them.

And for Monet, this argument is indeed the first time he has heard it, but I have to say that there is still some truth in this statement, Monet vaguely remembers that in his previous life, CCTV was not allowed to shoot criminal investigation dramas for a few years, and the starting point seems to be a similar reason, so if you look at it this way, it seems that you really shouldn't continue to write, anyway, now you can make money by treating syphilis much faster than writing novels.

Luckily, Mann, the owner of Brooklyn Weekly, wasn't here at the moment, otherwise he would have gone crazy if he had heard this argument and knew what Monet was thinking at the moment, and now he was all pointing to Monet's "Detective Monet" to attract readers.

Fortunately, Monet finally thought of an alternative, so he bowed to André and said: "Thank you, Sergeant André, I'm sorry I never thought that my novel would have such a negative effect, and if this Monsieur Mordes is really killed, then I will also bear part of the responsibility." ”

Then he changed the conversation and said, "But it's not realistic for me to give up writing detective novels anymore." After all, I still have a two-year contract with Brooklyn Weekly for the "Detective Monet" series of detective novels, and if I don't write it, I will have to pay a lot of liquidated damages, and I personally still like writing detective novels very much, so I am really unwilling to give up like this. ”

Before Andre could refute it, Monet preemptively said: "Sergeant Andrei, don't worry, listen to what I say, although I will not give up writing detective novels, but in the future, my creative direction will change, no longer using real and complex criminal methods as a selling point, but focusing on describing the motives of crimes and the changes in human nature reflected as a result." Even if there is a criminal modus operandi, try to deal with it in a simple direction, or devise something that is difficult to do in reality. Sergeant Andre, do you think that's okay? ”

Monet is telling the truth, because at this moment he already plans to switch from ontological reasoning to social reasoning in the future, that is to say, he will draw a lot of reference from Japanese mystery novels, after all, in terms of perverted criminal motives, Japanese detective novelists are definitely the best in the world, and as for the criminal methods that are difficult to achieve in reality, they can learn from the "Pavilion Series" of Ayaqian pedestrians.

Hearing Monet say this, Andre was naturally very grateful, so he said respectfully: "In this case, I am really grateful to Mr. Monet." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Monet said modestly, then suddenly poked his head over and said with a smile: "But Sergeant Andre, you won't stop watching my "Detective Monet" in the future because of this, right?" ”

Sergeant Andre hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How is that possible, I will definitely continue to watch it." ”

Seeing that the problem was solved, Klein interjected, "Alright, Brother Andre, can you take us to the Monds jewelry store now?" ”

"What do you say? After your boss received a letter, his expression changed drastically, and then he ordered the Duke to go to Philadelphia? At the Monds jewelry store, Andre asked with a frown.

The clerk nodded and replied inexplicably: "Yes, the day after the robbery, the boss received the mysterious letter, and then he immediately sent his secretary, Mr. Robert, to buy the Duke ticket." In fact, we also think this matter is very strange, you must know that it is the busiest time for the business of jewelry stores, and in previous years, the boss even ate and lived in the store, how could he be willing to go out. ”

"It's over, Monsieur Monet, it looks like something is going to happen, as you said." Andrei said to Monet with a heavy face.

In response to Andrew's inquiry, Monet just nodded, and then turned to the clerk: "Did your boss go to Philadelphia by himself this time?" ”
