He is coming He is coming...
He came with a new mystery novel.
Lin Yuan did not rush to reply to Leng Guang. The next day, he asked Jin Mu to buy a new work of Leng Guang for him to read.
Leng Guang’s new work is called “Apartment”.
The cover is blue, not too thick, about the length of a novella, and the cover image is a bloody handprint.
Introduction:
"Xiao Guang and his girlfriend moved into a new apartment. Not long after, someone died in the apartment. The police detectives found nothing and the matter was left unresolved. Unexpectedly, someone else died not long after. Xiao Guang and his girlfriend decided to move out of the apartment. The day before they left, Xiao Guang's girlfriend also died. He decided to find the real murderer..."
Who is Xiaoguang
Is Leng Guang implying something about himself
No, it should be implying the ex-girlfriend. After all, it was Xiaoguang’s ex-girlfriend who died in the book.
Don't think too much.
Just a novel. Just a novel.
Lin Yuan still respected his opponent Leng Guang very much, which could be seen from the fact that he was willing to spend half a day reading "Apartment".
In this novel, all the death scenes take place in the apartment.
"Secret room murder mode..."
"The murderer has an alibi..."
“Who is the most unlikely murderer…”
While watching, Lin Yuan used his brain to guess the murderer with Xiaoguang.
Leng Guang is a staunch believer in traditional reasoning and a pure lover of the genre, so he revealed quite a lot of clues.
Lin Yuan guessed the murderer based on the clues and quickly locked on the candidate.
But when it was noon and he was about to go out for lunch, Lin Yuan, who had just read the ending of the novel, was still shocked:
"The murderer turned out to be a bedridden child?"
Although Lin Yuan did suspect the child during this process, he dispelled the suspicion as several clues emerged.
Now that I think about it, I also fell into Leng Guang's trap.
"Surprising, huh?"
Jin Mu seemed to have finished reading "Apartment" before Lin Yuan. When he saw Lin Yuan finished reading the novel, he said with emotion:
"Leng Guang's mystery novels are always full of horror and suspense, which makes people feel a chill down their necks after reading them. Even if he doesn't write mystery novels, he will definitely sell well if he just writes horror novels."
“Everyone is hiding something.”
"This is the same technique used in Roger Affair. The motive for the murder was that the precocious child could not stand the harassment and even harm from men to his single mother, so he even killed the man who was supposed to be his father."
Lin Yuan nodded.
This story has a great concept.
There are some things that only children can do, which is a big clue, but I didn't guess it myself.
Apparently, Kaneki hadn't guessed it either.
This shows that Leng Guang still managed to defeat the vast majority of readers despite giving many clues.
"We're in some trouble."
Kaneki patted the cover of "Apartment" and said, "This novel has received very good reviews online. It can be regarded as Leng Guang's most representative work so far. Maybe we have to thank you, boss. In order to win you 100%, Kaneki has unleashed his potential."
It's like two people are taking an exam and comparing their scores.
One of them usually only scored 80 points, but this time, under the pressure of the competition, he scored 90 points, which is an extraordinary performance!
…
A lot of netizens followed this literary battle online, which also indirectly boosted the sales of Leng Guang's "Apartment".
And as a work that Leng Guang dared to bring out for literary competition? This work did not disappoint the readers.
As more and more people watched "The Apartment", countless praises soon appeared on the Internet.
"Teacher Leng Guang has achieved another success. This work is more exciting than his previous mysteries! Does the murderer have a mother complex? The murder method is not complicated? It is nothing more than a cover-up under the cover of identity, and the adults all have their own secrets that disrupt the real clues. As a fan of Leng Guang, I can declare unceremoniously that the victory of this literary battle belongs to Leng Guang."
"Leng Guang is a sure thing? Tie is a sure thing, Spiral is a sure thing, the story is scary? The ending is exciting? Unfortunately, I guessed the murderer? Although I didn't find any clues that are worthy of trust, I just feel that the author designed it this way."
"Leng Guang is really very stable? Do we have to continue fighting? Chu Kuang is very difficult to defeat."
"Is there no point in making a blind guess? Is that how it works when reading detective novels? Sometimes you can rely on your sixth sense to make a blind guess and guess the murderer, after all, those are the suspects. But if it's a narrative style like Chu Kuang's, your blind guess might not work, so I don't think Leng Guang will definitely win."
"Who would have thought that Leng Guang would suddenly explode? Although I feel that Chu Kuang has little chance of winning, there is still a chance."
"I wonder if Leng Guang will unilaterally crush him, or if the two of them will have a back-and-forth contest?"
"If it's the level of "The Mystery of Roger," I feel Chu Kuang can give it a try. The problem now is that the gimmick of the first appearance of the narrative trick has been used up. If Chu Kuang continues to use the narrative trick, he has to be more skillful."
"Have you forgotten something? The first to strike will lose, but Chu Kuang is the last to strike (funny)."
"The weird thing about this old thief Chu Kuang is that the more you think his move will fail, the more likely he will succeed!"
"… "
Although the public opinion was somewhat in favor of Leng Guang, there were still many people who supported Chu Kuang. However, everyone admitted that Leng Guang's performance this time had reached the limit of his personal level.
He does horror, suspense, they are all very good.
Lin Yuan admitted that he even re-watched "Apartment" and secretly sighed that the orthodox reasoning was indeed charming.
Everyone in the apartment could be the murderer, and the sense of horror is everywhere. People who like this tone will enjoy this process very much.
The most brilliant part of this novel is the following sentence said by the detective:
"Many adults are like children, morally underdeveloped."
The subtext of this sentence is:
"Many children, due to their age, have not yet fully developed morals."
It turns out that the murderer has been hinted here.
Lin Yuan was happy about this. The biggest reason for his happiness was that "Murder on the Orient Express" had encountered an opponent who was very capable but destined to lose.
It is also a closed room murder environment.
Whether it is the motive or the method of murder, "Murder on the Orient Express" is destined to be beyond people's imagination!
Now Leng Guang has taken the initiative.
Lin Yuan finally replied to Leng Guang using Chu Kuang's account—
He also checked carefully to make sure he had not logged into the wrong account.
The reply was simple, like a routine notice: "The new book Murder on the Orient Express will be released in a week."
This is the publishing date set by Jinmu and Yinlan Bookstore.
At that time, Jin Mu had already finished reading Murder on the Orient Express. After reading the book, he only said two words, which once made Lin Yuan a little frightened:
“It’s stable.”
