Chapter 250 Chinese Mystery Novel
A writer may mainly focus on three aspects: name, money and meaning. If you have greater fame, you will have more money. With more money, you can write what you want to write and express what you want to express.
There are many novels, but not many truly meaningful novels, such as "Les Miserables". You can say that you can't understand it, but you cannot doubt that the novel contains profound things. As a man who wants to become a literary master, how can you not write classics? Of course, before creating classics, you must lay a foundation for fame.
So fame is the beginning of all writers. The easiest way to gain fame is to participate in the competition, which is why those talent shows are so popular. The original theme of the Mephisto Award was to discover new people, so the number of submissions every day was very large. The level of the participating works was also uneven, both good and bad. Some articles could also see clear typos, while some articles could carefully craft each sentence to see the author's sincerity.
There are so many submissions every day, but there are still only a few judges, so this makes the judges feel that Alexander and Saburo Ishimuro are such people. He has been a judge of the Mephisto Award for many years. He is not a mystery novelist himself, but he is a famous mystery novel critic. It is because he likes mystery novels that he recommends to take on this job.
"This year's Mephisto Award is particularly popular!" Saburo Ishimuro sighed.
I have read a lot of mystery novels, long, short, native, social faction... all kinds of chapters, and various schools of thought, among which there are good quality mystery novels, but I haven't seen a novel that makes his eyes shine for a long time.
After reading a short story again, it was written well and you can submit it. Saburo Ishimuro thought about it for a few minutes and wrote a six-point comment. In fact, the evaluation method of the Mephister Award is quite special. Each judge has the right to submit a work. Then the submitted works are cross-rated, with a full score of ten. The last thing regrets is the best work with the highest scores added to the top of the cross-rated scores of the ten judges.
"Incomplete crime? Huaxia, Su Shichen?" Saburo Ishimu got a manuscript with the title and the author clearly written on it. The most important thing is that the author of this novel is Su Shichen.
"The mystery novels written by Chinese people?" Saburo Ishimuro's tone was full of doubt, and the meaning was self-evident. In other words, the mystery novels written by Chinese people are well-written? The overall level of mystery novels in the island country is indeed much better than that of China, and Saburo Ishimuro is indeed qualified to doubt this way.
The general idea of complete crime refers to a crime that does not leave any evidence or clues, but there is no crime that does not have clues in mystery novels, so the topic of incomplete crime is quite interesting.
"Five clocks passed away in early spring, because love is eternal..." The first case was called Five clocks, which were very concise and sophisticated in writing. Moreover, some of the allusions of island countries in the book were completely free to use. If it weren't for the author's Chinese, Saburo Ishimuro would not have known that this was written by a foreigner.
As the plot progresses, the wonderful parts are revealed. According to the absenteeism written in the book, the suspect is perfect and there is no flaw at all.
"It turns out that it is a trick of absent-present proof." This method of creating absent-present proof through time is the lowest level. Many authors use the blind spots of time or make a fool of themselves to make readers confused to achieve their goals. Saburo Ishimuro has read more than ten novels before, so he is not very interested.
Quinn is known as the master of absenteeism. His works are complicated, but because Su Shichen's English was very poor in his previous life, he naturally could not reach the point of reading the original novel. Therefore, he was reading the Chinese translation version. I don't know if it was a Chinese translation problem or the original style was like this. He looked very tired.
But Ayukawa Tetsuya is different. He was called the Benge Sect in his previous life and could support the Benge Sect with his own strength. As mentioned in the previous article, the Benge Sect attaches great importance to fairness, which means showing all the evidence and then challenging readers. "Incomplete Crime" can be said to be a classic among the Benge Sect.
"Huh?" The scattered emotions in Saburo Ishimuro's eyes were inadvertently restrained. "The text is very clear, and there is no mysterious content to confuse the readers. It can even be said that it is a bit too clear. This time is listed as a table, which is completely clear at a glance. The most important thing is the absent proof..."
Saburo Ishimuro frowned, newcomer, old man, classic, new works, etc. He has read many mystery novels. He believes that his IQ is not low, and even many works of famous masters can be seen, but he cannot see this novel at all. The evidence of absenteeism in the novel called Hashida is impeccable. In the proof of Hashida's absenteeism, there are five clocks, including watches in costumes, watches in noodle shops, etc., and clocks in five different places can be proved.
"What's going on with this Absent Proof of Hatsuda?" Ishimuro Saburo once again looked at the Absent Proof several times, and even a small detail loophole did not appear. Things that were too perfect are often false. Not only Ishimuro knows this, but also the Ghost Police Office in "Incomplete Crime", but how can we solve this perfect crime mystery?
Saburo Ishimu was very interested. He wanted to see how the Chinese author Su Shichen wrote later. If he couldn't bury the pit he dug, he ended up slapping himself.
In the previous life, the masterpiece "Stun" by Shimada Soji on Earth, you will definitely be as dizzy as this name after watching it. There are plot elements such as the end of the world, the sun disappears, the body resurrection, orcs, orcs, nuclear wars, etc. After watching it, you will definitely say what this is all about, and don't be too complicated in the main line.
So mystery novels can create an atmosphere and set tricks, but they cannot set a problem that cannot be solved by themselves, and then use alien technology to end it in a hurry. Think about it, how much effort does readers spend to solve this puzzle, but the final answer is this. If you are a reader, wouldn’t you beat someone up?
Saburo Ishimuro is watching with a skeptical attitude now, because this is really a proof of absence without any flaws.
...
"This is the real use of psychological errors." Saburo Ishimuro put away his contempt, and then carefully pondered the reasoning of the protagonist of the case, Gui Guan Police Department. His super logical nature made him admire him.
Until the reasoning of Gui Guan Police Department ended, "Excellent, wonderful, so wonderful! It's really wonderful to crack it if it's not present!"
Saburo Ishimuro said incredibly that the five clocks that proved that Hatsuda were not filled in as much as he thought, nor did he attribute the complex puzzle to any alien technology.
"The absent from the five clocks proved that one by one was cracked one by one, and the integrity was very high. I haven't seen a mystery novel with such strong logic for a long time." Saburo Ishimuro suddenly had such a question in his mind. According to the length of this manuscript, it should be more than 100,000 words, but the five clocks in the case were completed when about 10,000 words. What is this situation?
In fact, the reason is very simple. "Incomplete Crime" has a subtitle: Guiguan Police Department's investigation of incident book II. Incomplete Crime is just the most important case in this manuscript. "Incomplete Crime" is composed of twelve short stories, and these twelve short stories are independent. The most important thing is that all short stories are challenges to the absent-present proof.
Saburo Ishimuro roughly turned over the manuscript and found this incident. He couldn't help but sigh that the author named Su Shichen is really confident. He dared to write such twelve independent short stories in the competition. You should know that the length of the Mephist Award is not limited, so one of the twelve short stories can be published. According to the quality of "Five Watches", it is possible to become the best opportunity. However, once the quality of these twelve short stories is slightly lower, it will affect the overall level. Is this Chinese named Su Shichen really good at art, brave, or is it unaware of the world?
I can only know what it is if I continue to look down...
"Invisible Locomotive", "Incomplete Crime", "Izumo Express", "The Dark Cave", "Forged Grave", etc., and other eleven stories are slowly narrated.
The flashback technique of "The Dark Cave" is amazing, and the final surprise ends... How did the beautiful girl's body avoid everyone's eyes and transport it to another location... In the same carriage, who was the non-existent passenger...
There are also tricks about the railway "Invisible Locomotive" and "Express Izumo" describe them in many different styles.
Rigorous reasoning, clever tricks, unexpected murderers, and the diverse ways of portraying, although there are twelve short stories, there is only one theme - the absent proof that challenges the limit!
For Saburo Ishimuro, this is a complete enjoyment!
"This is the real mystery novel, the real mystery novel." After reading "Incomplete Crime", Saburo Ishimuro couldn't help but make such a comment.
The word "Ben" comes from the island country, and actually means orthodox mystery novels. According to Western classification methods, the "Ben" is classified into classical mystery novels.
"This is completely the work of a master of reasoning that breaks through the blind spots of human thinking. Is it really a new work?" Saburo Ishimuro couldn't help but ask such a question.
Although there is no requirement for the Mephister Award to be famous authors, this is also considered an unspoken rule in the circle. Do you feel sorry for saying that you have become famous and still compete with newcomers for the title?
But each of these twelve novels can be said to be a classic, and it is a completely work of a non-present master of reasoning. But looking at the name of the contributor, he is indeed a newcomer who has never heard of. This is not the masters in the circle wearing vests to tease their judges, right? Then Saburo Ishimu denied his conjecture. He would definitely remember such a reasoning ability and pen tip, but in his mind no mystery novelist has such skills. Is it really a newcomer who has accumulated strength? The most important point is that this is still a Chinese, which can be said to have subverted Saburo Ishimu's cognition.
Seeing a wonderful mystery novel, Saburo Ishimuro couldn't help but itched, and wrote a comment for it, and then gave the article "Incomplete Crime" a high score of 9:8.
After finishing all this, I started to continue reading the manuscript. After reading "Incomplete Crime", I felt that other novels were much worse.
"This is the most exciting mystery novel I have seen so far. If there is no accident, the best one this time should be "Incomplete Crime".
Just when Saburo Ishimuro thought this way, he saw another novel "Down the Suspension Bridge Falling", and the author of this novel is also Su Shichen...
