Chapter 299: Fooling

At the beginning of the story, the facts of the case are introduced:

Fra poisoned her drunkard husband, inherited his fortune, and became the richest woman in the village.

And in this village, there is also the richest man named Roger.

Roger's wife died many years ago.

Maybe because both of them lost their spouses and shared the same illness, the two fell in love.

Roger plans to marry Furla.

Before getting married, Fra told Roger: "I poisoned my drunkard husband, and the secret was known to someone in the village, who has been threatening me with this lately and extorting a lot of money from me. ”

Roger was shocked.

He is a man with a sense of justice, and he cannot accept that the woman he loves has murdered his husband.

Although he had no intention of reporting Fola, their engagement ended in vain.

But after all, Fra is the woman Roger loves, so he asks Fra: Who is blackmailing her behind her back?

He wanted to help Fla, please with this trouble.

Instead of answering immediately, Fura told Roger to wait two days.

As a result, Roger waited for the news of Fra's suicide.

There was no time to grieve, and soon after, Roger received a desperate letter from Fra......

No one knows if Roger has read the letter.

Because the letter was missing, and Roger died in his study, with a knife cut on his neck.

The perspective is in the first person, that is, Shepard, the doctor in the village.

Fantasy in the first person is taboo, and it doesn't matter if it's suspenseful, thriller, or mystery genre.

The first person can improve the reader's sense of substitution.

"Ordinary start. ”

Cao Dezhi commented softly:

The murderer was most likely the one who blackmailed Fra, and he was worried that his blackmail would fail, so he killed Roger and took away Fra's last letter. ”

This one isn't hard to guess.

The story is mediocre.

Although he had expected this result for a long time, Cao Dezhi was still a little disappointed.

It's not that Chu Crazy writes badly......

Chu Mad's reasoning, there is nothing wrong with the penmanship.

The problem is that Chu Crazy writes too ordinary!

Ten mystery writers, nine mystery writers can write like this.

So, nothing is featureless!

However, Cao Dezhi continued to watch.

As a mystery enthusiast, he enjoyed the process of solving the puzzle.

And the ultimate enjoyment of reasoning lovers is undoubtedly to find out who the murderer is earlier than the crime solver in the book!

Soon, the story progresses to the third chapter.

That's when a new character appears, a detective named Poirot!

According to the introduction, this Poirot is a well-known private detective who has solved many big cases, and has just moved to the village and grows pumpkins in the yard every day.

"The detective who appeared out of nowhere?"

Cao Dezhi raised an eyebrow.

Detective Poirot is an outsider in the village, an outsider suddenly moves to the town, and then the town dies in one breath?

Is it a coincidence?

Cao Dezhi is a little suspicious that this detective is a murderer, if this is the setting, then this one may still be a little interesting.

However, after reading more than a dozen pages, Cao Dezhi dispelled this suspicion.

Poirot is indeed a detective, and Shepard, who exists from a first-person perspective, becomes Poirot's assistant after Poirot begins investigating the case.

So who is the murderer?

The person suspected by the police is Roger's adopted son, Ropeton.

However, this person was decisively ruled out by Cao Dezhi, because the more people who look like murderers in homicide cases, the less murderers they are, and they are the author's tricks.

In fact, Poirot didn't doubt Payton either.

This detective does seem to be a bit level.

As the story continues, more and more characters are involved, and Cao Dezhi's perception of this film has gradually changed.

"It's kind of interesting......"

The difficulty of the case is constantly increasing, and there are more and more people who are suspicious.

The first is Roger's friend Brent, a powerful man who happened to be a guest at Roger's house when Roger died.

And Brent has no money, but he likes Roger's niece, but Roger's niece also has a special relationship with Roger's adopted son Ropeton!

So this guy can kill Roger, and then frame Ropeton, and get the beauty back himself......

"Could it be him?"

Cao Dezhi began his brainstorming and looked at another character in the book.

Lean and thin, tight-knit, lively and cheerful little male secretary Raymond.

This person doesn't seem to have any major problems, but the reasoning, the less like the murderer, the more often the murderer!

Immediately afterward, Cao Dezhi noticed the others......

There are many people involved in the case.

And in this case, everyone involved seems to have their own secrets!

Poirot also deliberately brought everyone together and made it clear:

"All of you have concealed some of the facts like me, maybe you think these facts have nothing to do with the case, so you choose to protect yourself, but the key to solving the case may be in the part you are concealing. ”

Cao Dezhi thought Poirot was annoyed.

To his surprise, Poirot was not annoyed at all, but pretended: "But it's okay, I'll find out everything." ”

How so?

More like a provocation to the murderer.

"I'll find you soon. ”

is similar to this declaration, seeing this, Cao Dezhi suddenly found that he seemed to like this detective a little.

But who is the murderer?

Cao Dezhi was a little anxious.

As the editor-in-chief of the senior reasoning department, he has seen 80% of the reasoning that can lock the murderer before the detective solves the case!

But this time, he couldn't make up his mind.

Because each character has an alibi, and each character conceals part of the truth, the case becomes more complicated.

Grass snake gray line.

There must be foreshadowing hidden in the story, indirect evidence about who the murderer is, but Cao Dezhi read two-thirds of the content, but he still didn't accurately guess the murderer!

Chu Mad was attentive......

This case, if it weren't for enough patient preparation and planning, it would be difficult to write so complicated, but in the midst of the complexity, with the help of the detective's hand to constantly clear the fog.

"Now, everyone who should be suspected is suspected, then, who is the murderer?"

This has become what Cao Dezhi cares about the most, he can't wait to turn to the end now and see the final truth!

But he held back.

The pleasure of watching reasoning lies in the reasoning during reading, and once the murderer is known, it is difficult to experience the pleasure.

At this time, Cao Dezhi found that he had been completely attracted by "The Mystery of Roger"!

It's a great case!

The whole case layout and planning are very beautiful!

So this also made Cao Dezhi eager to find out the murderer, and his eyes became brighter and brighter!

It turns out that fantasy writers can also write such beautiful reasoning!

Belch......

It seems to be too early to draw conclusions.

If Chu Mad is just suspicious, and the final murderer can't make the reader feel suddenly enlightened, then this one is not clever.

Come to think of this.

Cao Dezhi's mood became a little nervous.

In the last few chapters, he read almost word for word.

But the more he reads, the more uneasy Cao Dezhi feels, because the murderer is still hiding in the fog, and even if the story progresses to the last part, he can't find the answer!

"Isn't the murderer on the suspicion list?"

If so, Cao Dezhi will definitely scold!

Because of this kind of behavior, it is like a ghost movie, which scares the audience, but at the end, the director tells you that in fact, this is all because the protagonist is mentally ill, so he is fantasizing about himself......

I'll you.

Chu Mad shouldn't play this set too, right?

With the frustration of not being able to guess the murderer, and the worry about whether the ending can explain everything, Cao Dezhi finally saw the penultimate chapter.

This chapter is called "The Truth Revealed".

This is the penultimate chapter, Chu Mad did not choose to reveal the mystery at the end, it seems that there is a combing of the whole case behind it......

"I admit, I can't guess the murderer. ”

Cao Dezhi's mood was a little heavy, and he really began to worry about whether the ending of this film would be able to convince him.

At the end of this chapter.

Poirot uncovers the truth: [Who was the man who knew Aykroyd well and knew that he had bought a dictation recorder; who was the one who knew some mechanics; who had the opportunity to take the sword from the silver cabinet before Miss Flora arrived; who was the one who held the container for the dictator, who was the one who was able to stay alone in the study for a few minutes while Parker called the police-]

Seeing this, Cao Dezhi suddenly stood up from the computer!

His eyes were as big as brass bells!

His breathing, at this moment, became extremely heavy!

Shock!

Shudder!

I never expected it!

I guessed that the murderer of the whole book turned out to be ......

Thanks!

That's right, it's "I", Shepard in the first person!

The whole story unfolds from Shepard's point of view, from Poirot's appearance to Shepard becoming Poirot's assistant, Cao Dezhi never doubted Shepard in this process!

It's not that he doesn't have enough IQ!

It was him, who was fooled by Chu Mad !

Utter foolishness!

Who would have thought that "I" was the murderer?

When a reader opens Roger's Mystery, Shepard will be excluded almost instantly!

This person witnessed the development of the entire case as a participant, and at the same time listed an alibi at the beginning......

The results are all fake!

There is a character's alibi, in fact, it began to be overturned in the middle of the story, but by that time, his eyes had been completely attracted by a few major suspects!

"!"

Cao Dezhi feels that he has been completely tricked, how can any reasoning mislead readers so much, the murderer is "me"?

It's simply deceiving the reader's feelings-

Cao Dezhi felt that he should be furious.

But for some reason, after a foul mouth, his face suddenly turned a little red, and his eyes became ashamed.

He really doesn't want to admit it, but a very subversive fact at the moment is:

He actually felt like he was ......

Cool?

It was a kind of pleasure that suddenly filled my heart after being gorgeously humiliated by the author!

And after reading the explanations of the next two chapters, I understood that the entire story of "Roger's Mystery" was actually a confession from Shepard......

Dezhi's color today is camel red.
