Chapter 302 Fool

Chapter 302 Fool

The case is introduced at the beginning of the story:

Fra poisoned her alcoholic husband and inherited his fortune, becoming 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.

Perhaps because both of them lost their spouses, they fell in love with each other because of the same illness.

Roger plans to marry Fra.

Before getting married, Fra told Roger: "I poisoned my alcoholic husband. This secret was known by someone in the village. Recently, he has been threatening me with this incident and blackmailing me a lot of money."

Roger was shocked.

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

Although he had no intention of denouncing Fra, the engagement of the two ended without a problem.

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

He wants to help Fra get out of this trouble.

Fra did not answer immediately, but asked Roger to wait for two days.

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

It was too late to grieve, and not long after, Roger received a last letter from Fra...

No one knew whether Roger had read the letter.

Because the letter disappeared, and Roger also died in his study, and his neck was wiped with a knife.

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

It is taboo to use the first person in fantasy novels, but it does not matter in suspense thriller or reasoning novels.

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

"A more conventional start."

Cao Dezhi commented softly:

"The murderer is most likely the one who blackmailed Frau. He was worried that his blackmail would go unnoticed, so he killed Roger and took away Frau's last letter."

This is not difficult to guess.

Judging from the current content, the story's appeal is average.

Cao Dezhi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

If you are only pursuing a good sales volume, the pseudonym Chu Kuang is the best guarantee.

But if you're after a big hit in sales, it depends on the quality of the mystery novels——

Compared with a safe little explosion, Cao Dezhi certainly hopes that this work will be a big hit!

"Maybe it's because it's the first time to write reasoning, so it's a bit rusty?"

Cao Dezhi commented in his heart: "For a writer who is writing reasoning for the first time, it is already very good to write like this. From this perspective, Chu Kuang is indeed a great writer."

Actually, it's not that Chu Kuang's writing is not good...

There is nothing wrong with the writing style of Chu Kuang's mystery novel.

The problem is that Chu Kuang's writing is too standard.

Out of ten reasoning writers, five reasoning writers can write like this.

So, nothing special!

However, Cao Dezhi continued to read it. It is good to be able to make a small explosion. The reasoning department has been so embarrassed that there are no works by Xiaobo.

Besides...

As a reasoning enthusiast, he enjoyed the puzzle-solving process very much.

And the ultimate enjoyment for reasoning lovers is undoubtedly to find out who the murderer is earlier than the detectives in the book!

Soon, the story proceeds to the third chapter.

Then a new character appeared, a detective named Poirot!

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

"A sudden detective?"

Cao Dezhi raised his eyebrows.

Detective Poirot is an outsider in the village. An outsider suddenly moved to the town, and then two people died in the town?

coincidence?

Cao Dezhi suspected that the detective was the murderer.

If this is the setting, this novel will have the meaning of evil ways and slanting swords.

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

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

Who is the murderer?

The person the police suspect is Rodger's adopted son Ropeton.

However, Cao Dezhi resolutely ruled out this person as a suspect, because in a murder case, the more like a murderer, the less likely a person is to be a murderer. This is the author's trickery.

In fact, Poirot didn't doubt Peyton either.

This detective does seem to be a bit level.

As the story continued, more and more characters were involved, and Cao Dezhi's perception of the novel gradually changed.

"interesting……"

The difficulty of the case is constantly increasing, and there are more and more doubtful people. The readability of the story seems to be improving a little bit.

First up is Roger's buddy Brent.

This is a powerful man, who happened to be a guest at Roger's house when Roger died.

Moreover, Brent has no money, but likes Roger's niece, but Roger's niece has a special relationship with Roger's adopted son Ropeyton!

So this guy can kill Roger, and then frame Ropeyton, and he can embrace the beauty...

"Could it be him?"

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

Lean, thin, rigorous, lively and cheerful little male secretary Raymond.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this person, but in mystery novels, the less likely they are to be a murderer, the more often they are murderers!

Immediately afterwards, Cao Dezhi noticed other people...

There are many people involved in the case.

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

Poirot also intentionally gathered everyone together and clearly pointed it out:

"All of you have concealed some facts like me. Maybe you think these facts have nothing to do with the case, so you chose to protect yourself, but the key to solving the case may lie in the part you concealed."

Cao Dezhi thought Poirot was upset.

To his surprise, Poirot wasn't annoyed at all, but was pretending: "But it doesn't matter, I will find out everything."

how to say?

More like a provocation to the murderer.

"I'll find you soon."

It was a declaration similar to this. After seeing this, Cao Dezhi suddenly realized that he seemed to like this detective a little bit.

But who is the murderer?

Cao Dezhi became anxious.

As the editor-in-chief of the senior reasoning department, 80% of the mystery novels he has read can locate the murderer before the detective solves the case!

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

Because each character had an alibi, and each character concealed part of the facts, the case became more and 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 still failed to accurately guess the murderer!

Chu Kuang put his heart into it.

This case, if it is not enough patient preparation and planning, it is difficult to write so complicated, but in the complicated, with the help of detectives to continue to clear the fog.

"Now, everyone who should be suspicious is suspicious, so who is the murderer?"

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

But he held back.

The fun of reading mystery novels lies in the reasoning during the reading process. Once the murderer is known, it is difficult to experience the pleasure.

Seeing this moment, Cao Dezhi suddenly realized that he was completely attracted by "Roger's Mystery"!

This is a great case!

The whole case layout and planning are very beautiful!

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

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

The previous feeling is average, maybe because the novel itself is a bit slow.

Well……

It seems too early to draw conclusions now.

If Chu Kuang is only suspicious, and the final murderer cannot make readers feel suddenly enlightened, then this novel is not considered brilliant.

Think about it.

Cao Dezhi felt a little nervous.

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

But the more he read, the more disturbed Cao Dezhi felt, because the murderer was still hidden in the mist, even if the story progressed to the last part, he couldn't find the answer!

"Is the murderer not on the suspect list?"

If this is the case, Cao Dezhi will definitely curse!

Because this kind of behavior is like a ghost movie, which scares the audience for a while, but at the end, the director tells you that in fact, this is because the protagonist is mentally ill, so it is like self-fantasy...

I can go to yours.

Chu Kuang should also play this set, right?

Depressed that he couldn't guess the murderer, and worried about whether the ending could explain everything, Cao Dezhi finally read the penultimate chapter.

This chapter is called "The Truth Comes Out".

This is the penultimate chapter of the novel. Chu Kuang did not choose to reveal the mystery at the end. It seems that there is still a combing cage for the whole case...

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

Cao Dezhi's heart was a little heavy, and he really began to worry about whether the ending of this novel could convince himself.

end of this chapter.

Poirot uncovered the truth: [Who is the person who is familiar with Aykroyd and knows that he bought a dictaphone; who is the person who understands certain mechanical principles; The one who walks the sword; the one who holds the dictaphone container; the one who can spend a few minutes alone in the study while Parker calls the police—]

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

His eyes were as big as copper bells!

His breathing became extremely heavy at this moment!

shock!

Trembling!

Never imagined!

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

Thanks! splash! Germany!

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

The whole story is unfolded from Shepard's perspective, from Poirot's appearance to Shepard becoming Poirot's assistant, Cao Dezhi never doubted Shepard in the process!

It's not that he's not smart enough!

It was him who was fooled by Chu Kuang!

Totally fooled!

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

When readers open this "Roger's Mystery", they will exclude Shepard almost instantly!

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

The results are all fake!

The character's alibi was actually overthrown in the middle of the story, but at that time, my eyes were completely attracted by several major suspects!

"grass!"

Cao Dezhi felt that he had been completely tricked. How can a mystery novel mislead readers so much that the murderer is "I"?

It is simply deceiving the reader's feelings——

Cao Dezhi felt that he should be furious.

But for some reason, after swearing fiercely, his face suddenly turned red, and his eyes became ashamed.

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

He actually felt that he...

Very cool?

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

And after reading the explanations of the next two chapters, I realized that the whole story of "Roger's Mystery" is actually a confession written by Shepard...

It's an orgasm.
