Liu Tao ignored the beard.

He is in remorse.

It's not terrible to be deceived, it's terrible to be deceived twice with the same trick!

After experiencing the baptism of "Roger's Suspicion" and appreciating the charm of narrative, Liu Tao thought that he would never be deceived by the same trick again.

However, Jiang Yang used this novel to tell him that he was still too young.

This guy used a similar trick to deceive him again.

When he first got the manuscript of "Tragedy in Three Acts", Liu Tao looked at it, oh, the third person, this time it should not be a narrative.

And then—

He looked down.

At first, this book was still very attractive, and it was told in fashionable words: [Lao Shuai, Da Zhuang and the doctor are good friends, Lao Shuai and Dan Dan like each other, but there is a big age difference between Lao Shuai and Dandan.

On this day, Lao Shuai held a banquet, and thirteen people came, including the trio of Lao Shuai, Da Zhuang and the doctor, Dandan's mother and daughter, Poirot, the priest and his wife, etc.

There was also a little handsome.

This little handsome likes balls.

Because there were thirteen people in total, the housekeeper said that it was unlucky, so she also participated, so there were fourteen people.

And then.

At the banquet, the old man made a cocktail and invited everyone to drink it, but the doctor didn't like to drink cocktails, so he didn't drink them.

The priest wasn't much of a fan of cocktails either, but he barely drank one.

After a glass of wine, the priest died.

Because the priest was too kind to have no enemies, and then he took the wine himself, and the cocktail glass was tested the next day, and there was nothing, so Poirot and the local doctor thought that the priest had died of a sudden illness. 】

Of course.

This is a speculative novel, Liu Tao doesn't have to guess, the priest must have been poisoned.

Tricked Poirot into it!

Reading mystery novels is sometimes a game of intellectual competition.

Liu Tao saw that Poirot had been deceived, so he wanted to catch the murderer first, but after looking at it for a long time, he really couldn't find the murderer.

He could only keep looking.

[Lao Shuai left because he felt that Dan Dan was more suitable to be with Xiao Shuai.

After some time.

Da Zhuang was on vacation in France and saw in the newspaper that he and Lao Shuai's good friend doctor had died.

Death is the same as a priest!

It just so happened that Lao Shuai came over and reaffirmed that the priest's death was murder, and said that Dan Dan and Xiao Shuai were present when the doctor died, and now Dan Dan wrote a letter asking for his help.

The old friend died, and Da Zhuang and the old man were duty-bound, so they set off to rush back, met Poirot at the train station, and talked about the eucalyptus.

Poirot was shocked, I was deceived!

Then, Poirot went on to make soy sauce.

After Da Zhuang and Lao Shuai went back, they formed a detective trio with Dandan, and began to break the eucalyptus——]

From the moment the three amateur detectives start to break the eucalyptus, the novel becomes very, very boring.

The three amateur detectives are very thin, with no psychological activities and no personal characteristics, almost the detectives find the suspect and related personnel for questioning, and ask for some testimony, but it is useless, the three amateur detectives can't see any use, and Liu Tao, an outsider, can't see any use.

The three amateur detectives then repeat the above operation.

This mystery novel is neither tense, nor humorous, nor suspenseful.

At most, talk about the love between the old handsome and the balls.

Let's be honest –

Liu Tao has a feeling of "I watched it, I watched it, what did I watch".

He followed his wife to watch bloody romance dramas, which were more exciting than this novel, and after getting this draft, Liu Tao did not sleep at night and had trouble sleeping and eating, but he slept very soundly, so that his wife's eyes were resentful when she looked at him.

Even complained about Jiang Yang - writing books is getting more and more lively, and it can't keep Lao Liu awake at night.

Boredom is nothing.

What Liu Tao couldn't stand the most was the reasoning of the three detectives, they didn't know what they were checking, Liu Tao wanted to find them out, and went in to check them himself, so when the old man said: "Frankly, are we really making progress", Liu Tao followed up, "You know!" ”

And then.

Poirot, who played most of the book with soy sauce, appeared!

When Liu Tao saw this chapter, he happened to be having breakfast.

At that time, he had already decided that the book was Jiang Yang's failure.

It's nothing, people have misses, horses have stumbles, and Jiang Yang can't guarantee that every mystery novel is so amazing.

He was still watching, that is, to know who the murderer was and why the priest was killed.

And then.

Liu Taoren was dumbfounded.

After Poirot appeared on the stage, it was as if constipation had squeezed out the cork, and the rhythm of the whole book suddenly became smoother, and the messy testimony that had been found before suddenly became a very useful clue after Poirot changed his angle.

When the final mystery was revealed, Liu Tao immediately realized that he had let Jiang Yang play tricks again!

Bland?

Just be boring!

Reasoning has been going around for half a day and there is no progress?

That's right if you don't make progress!

The characters are thin, the three detectives are featureless, and they don't even have a psychological description?

That's right if you don't!

Because the murderer is among the three amateur detectives.

The two detectives follow the murderer and take the reader to investigate the eucalyptus, and it will hell if the eucalyptus can make progress.

After the narrator of Cha Yu in "Roger's Suspicion" was the murderer, Jiang Yang changed his third person and came again, letting Cha Yu continue to be the murderer, and deceived him again.

"Nima!"

Liu Tao is stupid.

He suddenly gave himself a head to startle Mrs. Liu and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm stupid, really."

Liu Tao said.

He should have thought of it a long time ago.

Jiang Yang, a great god who already has two divine mystery novels, no matter how bad he writes, it is impossible for him to be so bad. is like a 100-meter professional athlete, he just has diarrhea, and he runs faster than ordinary people.

So—

When the book was so boring, Liu Tao should have thought about why it was so boring.

Liu Tao couldn't eat breakfast.

With the guilt of thinking that the book was a failure, he took the manuscript paper from the front again.

Then look at the pile of manuscript paper with respect.

Seriously-

In a sense, this novel is more elaborately designed than "Roger's Suspicion".

If "Roger's Suspicion" is tricky, using first-person narration, with the help of the reader's natural trust in the narrator, to trick the reader into a trap.

This novel uses the third person, from the structure, from the motive, from the text, and even in the characterization, step by step to let the reader fall into the trap -

The murderer-led probe is inherently boring, misleading you and leaving you with no useful clues, otherwise?

What particularly amazed Liu Tao was the death of the pastor!

It can be said that he can be misled because he has never been able to guess the motive of the pastor's death!

So—

Outside readers are desperately trying to find out why the pastor died.

Actually-

Just look at the title of the book "A Tragedy in Three Acts".

It's drama!

The murderer is a drama!

Plays are meant to be rehearsed!

So, when rehearsing to kill someone, does killing someone need a motive?

No, you don't!

Of the fourteen people at that time, anyone but three could die.

Including Poirot!

Indiscriminate homicide on a small scale, in this novel, motive becomes the key to decipherment, and the title makes it clear to the reader.

Liu Tao had to say again, "Cowhide! ”
