In fact, Leng Guang’s reading speed is not very fast, and it took him a lot of time to buy books.
The time he wasted was enough for the first readers of Murder on the Orient Express to write a lot of book reviews and even spark some topics.
In fact.
The real response began with the comments given by the first batch of readers, and a certain mystery forum became the first explosive platform on the Internet!
The mystery forum is a gathering place for mystery fans.
There are quite a few hardcore mystery enthusiasts out there!
That was the expectation of readers who were not disappointed by the content of "Murder on the Orient Express" even after the Mystery Association and Carter confirmed it; it was also the almost satisfied groan and groan made by mystery enthusiasts after getting the ultimate satisfaction.
Swish, swish, swish!
Countless posts popped up like mushrooms after rain!
Perhaps no one post can represent everyone's mood.
Everyone has different feelings, but everyone is equally shocked by this novel!
“I thought I was watching a traditional mystery, and Chu Kuang was writing a narrative trick. I was fooled twice in a row. This time, I thought, no matter how traditional Chu Kuang’s plot is, I believe it must be a gorgeous narrative trick. But when I saw the ending, I was directly kneeled... Chu Kuang really started to write traditional mystery!”
This comment has received a lot of likes!
Just as Lin Yuan planned.
His works can be narrative or traditional, mixing truth and fiction, leaving readers unable to guess the answer until the very end!
The following posts also received a lot of likes and replies.
"After reading this novel, I began to believe that "The Fall of the Dongdong Suspension Bridge" is really Chu Kuang's ridicule and warning against narrative cunning. Then I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Teacher Leng Guang. Why are you picking on his literary battle for no reason..."
"This question is beyond the scope of the syllabus!"
"When I saw Poirot reveal the truth in one breath, it's no exaggeration to say that my eyes almost popped out when I learned that the murderer had stabbed each of the victims to death. My scalp was numb and I got goose bumps all over my body!"
"Carter's preface didn't fool me! It's a masterpiece! I love it!"
"Before reading it, I thought the score for mystery novels was a little high, but after reading it, I thought, this score is really not low? This is a textbook-level mystery novel!"
"Polo-polo-polo! I love this pineapple so much!"
“Hahahaha, the name Polo appeared, maybe it was just because Chu Kuang wanted to eat pineapple at that time.”
"Sorry, Chu Kuang is a god!"
"I'm sorry, I was prejudiced against Chu Kuang because of the narrative. After reading this new work, I was convinced and the ending was very healing. I have always hoped that in this filthy world, in corners where the law cannot or does not want to shine, there will be an invisible hand that raises the sword of judgment. When these twelve so-called murderers saw Poirot's decision and the last few lines, they felt extremely warm in their hearts. Although I can't do anything and am an insignificant guy, I am still willing to use my insignificant five-star evaluation to express my respect for this behavior and this understanding."
"The victims are the perpetrators, twelve victims... Very shocking. With the final turn, Poirot is so handsome! The war song is ringing in my mind! It's a pity that the background music doesn't match Poirot."
"2333, Chu Kuang has Xianyu, let Xianyu write the music."
"Poirot is the first detective in the history of reasoning to let the criminal go. At least this is the first time I have seen this kind of writing... Maybe this will be controversial, but I want to say to Chu Kuang, well done!"
"… "
In the post, Polo was mentioned repeatedly.
Poirot's decision caused everyone to discuss it repeatedly.
Someone cut out the words from the novel, and when Poirot gave two choices, he said:
Everything is either right or wrong, and you...
He was silent for a long time before he said in confusion: I can't make a judgment.
He left it to others to choose.
When everyone chose the first conclusion, that the murderer was not guilty, Poirot took off his hat, bowed, announced that he would withdraw from the case, and slowly turned and left in the snow.
What is good and what is evil
This was the first time that Poirot couldn't tell the difference, but it fascinated countless readers!
Everyone seemed to see the lonely figure walking forward in the snow, thinking as he walked...
In fact, readers who have read "The Mystery of Roger Poirot" are very clear about how proud and principled Poirot is.
We are used to Poirot's wisdom and ability to judge cases accurately!
To have him say, “I can’t judge,” was incredible.
Just like he eventually withdrew from the case.
Because it is incredible, readers can empathize with Poirot's torment and choices!
At this moment, Poirot has become the great detective recognized by countless people!
You know, "world famous detective" is the setting given to Poirot by the author of the novel.
The author can set anything in the novel, such as the most handsome man in the world, the most beautiful woman in the world, etc.
A third-rate writer who sets his own fantasy.
For top writers, once the story and setting come out, readers collectively reach climax, as if the person really exists.
This is called pen power.
So it is not an easy task to make readers admit that "Poirot is a world-famous detective", but Chu Kuang did it easily -
Two novels are enough.
"The Case of Roger the Murderer" laid the foundation and foreshadowing.
"Murder on the Orient Express" gained word of mouth and recognition.
Poirot’s story may continue in the future, but at this moment, Poirot, the famous detective who let the murderer go, has become very popular in the eyes of readers!
certainly.
Riddle lovers are also catered for, as this comment states:
"I can never guess the tricks of the old thief Chu Kuang! The most hateful thing is that the old thief Chu Kuang confidently gave an extremely complicated setup, even listing out the simple diagram of the carriage and the timetable of the characters' actions, etc. But after I racked my brains and filled a piece of paper with drawings, he suddenly threw out his newly invented impossible crime model!
”
Yes.
Many readers try to find out the truth before the detective when reading "Murder on the Orient Express", which is a great hobby for mystery enthusiasts to read such books.
But when everyone saw the ending, they were shocked and dumbfounded at the same time.
Did you break the rules
Chu Kuang has actually completed a new reasoning model!
There were actually twelve murderers!
Of course it was "surprisingly" that all the passengers in all the carriages worked together to commit the crime, helping each other to cover up and provide alibis, which directly led to the possibility that all the testimonies might be false.
Who the hell could have imagined this!
Isn't it the normal mindset of normal people that there is only one murderer
Occasionally there are people who work together to commit a crime, but they are usually only two or three people at most, right
But in this novel, all the conventional reasoning methods are wrong, and the ending is that everyone is a good person!
At the same time, all the members are murderers!
This is just like the first time you watch a mystery novel, you can’t guess the murderer no matter what. Chu Kuang’s “Murder on the Orient Express” is a completely new mode of reasoning!
It’s basically impossible to guess!
So after watching this, it’s hard not to be confused!
Not to mention, until the answer was revealed, everyone instinctively thought that Chu Kuang was writing a narrative mystery.
The media's gimmicks have all been played out.
The literary battle between Chu Kuang and Leng Guang, the confrontation between narrative and tradition.
As a result, when Chu Kuang's new book came out, everyone realized after reading the beginning that, ah, this guy was just trying to tease us, and what he wrote this time was the same as Leng Guang's, and it belonged to the category of traditional reasoning!
Even the mode of murder in a closed room is almost the same!
"I feel like Chu Kuang is the writer who is the best at teasing readers, but I enjoy being teased."
"Chu Kuang pioneered the art of narrative mystery, but he never said that he only knew how to tell a story. He was just mean and knowing that everyone had inertial thinking, he just didn't explain the type of story he was writing this time. But because he didn't explain, when I found out that this was a traditional mystery and almost subverted the traditional reasoning model, I was stunned!"
"As expected of an old thief."
"The old thief is playing with our feelings like crazy! He must be hiding somewhere, laughing at his actions!"
"It was obviously Leng Guang who was played the hardest. He dragged Chu Kuang into a duel, but Chu Kuang defeated Leng Guang using traditional reasoning, which is what Leng Guang is best at."
“This is equivalent to Chu Kuang defeating Leng Guang with the martial arts that Leng Guang is best at. This is a bit embarrassing.”
"I feel sorry for Leng Guang. Although he likes to criticize, he doesn't just do it without thinking. His criticism is basically well-founded. It was really bad luck that he ran into Chu Kuang this time."
"Chu Kuang has also slapped the faces of readers who are against narrative subterfuge. Before "Dong Dong Suspension Bridge Fall" came out, didn't many people complain that Chu Kuang only knew how to use narrative subterfuge? Some people even voted for him to be second, hoping to bring him down. But now Chu Kuang has clearly told everyone: My traditional reasoning is better than narrative subterfuge."
"… "
This time it’s not about imagination or over-interpretation.
Lin Yuan indeed thought so.
He didn't want to give people the impression that he was only good at telling lies.
Therefore, traditional reasoning must be used this time, and it must be a work that is explosive enough.
Now, this work has really exploded!
Traditional reasoning can also be innovated to write a killing mode that requires cooperation from all members!
It's simply a trick within a trick!
It directly slapped the faces of those mystery fans who had previously looked down on Chu Kuang.
Just as some readers commented, who would have thought that Chu Kuang’s traditional reasoning could be even better than narrative subterfuge!
Anyone who has voted against Chu Kuang before, every one of them, should be punished by standing in front of "Murder on the Orient Express".
The aftermath of this explosion not only shocked the readers, but also shocked countless authors in the mystery circle...
You know, mystery writers are the group of people who are most sensitive to detective novels.
Readers are just admiring the ingenuity of this story, but mystery writers clearly understand how difficult it is to create such a story!
"Chu Kuang is such a monster!"
On this day, after reading "Murder on the Orient Express", someone in a group of mystery writers made the following comment.
In the group, all are +1.
