"this……"
Wang Hailin looked at the words in the brackets and was a little confused for a moment.
"President, you didn't expect that, did you?"
Wang Hailin raised his head and looked at his two juniors. At some point, these two boys gathered around him.
"I really didn't expect it." Wang Hailin nodded and said, "I thought the murder case had been explained clearly. The only doubt now is whether Wu Yue killed Lin Yi and Liu Changlin with the glass."
"I think so. I feel that Liu Changlin's last sentence was too offensive. And Wu Yue has already killed someone, so it shouldn't be too strange to kill someone again." One of the juniors said.
Another junior agreed, "Yes, I think so too. It's Chu Junshan's fault for tying up Liu Changlin and Lin Yi, otherwise it would be impossible to tell who would kill whom."
Wang Hailin frowned and said, "What you are discussing is not the crux of the problem. The key is what the words in the brackets mean. The final murderer...is it Wu Yue? If Wu Yue killed someone, then she should be the final murderer.
, if she didn’t kill anyone, then the final murderer should be Lin Yi? She killed Li Shuang.”
"No, right now we don't know who died first, Li Shuang or Xu Si. If Xu Si died later, the one who killed Xu Si might be the final murderer."
Wang Hailin patted his head, "I almost forgot about this. Xu Si said that he encountered an unknown attack outside the school. It seems that what he said should be true. In other words, there is one or more people involved in this case.
"
"President, look at their names, don't they look a little strange?"
"strangeness?"
"Yes, Lin Yi, Li Shuang, Chu Junshan, Xu Si, Wu Yue, Liu Changlin, and Lin Xiaoqi correspond to one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. Doesn't this have any special meaning?"
The junior student's words reminded Wang Hailin, and he thought of the title of the book, Fatal Identity... He did not think that the title was randomly chosen. It must have a special relationship with the content, but what is the relationship?
And why are these names so coincidental? Brother Dong probably didn’t choose them randomly. Wang Hailin intuitively thought that these names had something to do with the title of the book.
"Is it possible that Chu Junshan is the final murderer? If Wu Yue kills Lin Yi, only Chu Junshan and Wu Yue will be left."
"But what about the person who attacked Xu Si? Who was it?"
"Could Xu Si fake his death? Have you seen Agatha's "The Island"?"
"Yes, I've also seen the English version, Ten Little Indians." Wang Hailin nodded, "You mean that Xu Si faked his death, but this is unrealistic. Chu Junshan checked it himself... No, you mean that Chu Junshan
He was an accomplice with Xu Si, and he covered up the fact that Xu Si faked his death."
"Yes, that's right." The junior student who put forward this hypothesis was excited. He felt that he had touched the truth. "When Xu Si was found dead, no one else came forward to take a closer look. It was Chu Junshan who told everyone after checking.
Dead. Maybe Teacher Yu’s design is to pay tribute to Agatha.”
"But what's the motive? Why did Chu Junshan collude with Xu Si, a policeman and a school janitor? Why did they do all this?"
"There may be some special reason that I haven't explained yet. Isn't there more to come?"
"Well, that's all I can think about for now."
…
The second issue of "Fatal Identity" is directly serialized with 60,000 words, allowing readers to have a good time, and at the same time, it also allows everyone to re-recognize the standard of this novel.
Especially the sentence in parentheses at the end makes readers unable to help but think divergently.
The prizes for this time's prize-winning guessing game are Yu Dong's signed magazine and a five-year free subscription to "Sprouting". In other words, as long as you guess correctly, you can use "Sprouting" for free in the next five years.
This intensity is actually quite high. Putting aside Yu Dong’s signed magazine, a five-year free subscription to "Grudge" alone is worth a lot of money. Therefore, the enthusiasm of readers is very high, and the magazine quickly
A large number of letters were received.
Zhao Changtian deliberately summarized the letters received in recent days and selected the letters for the contest.
He took these letters to the editor-in-chief Cao Yang's office.
Cao Yang was writing and drawing with a pen when he heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw that it was Zhao Changtian, and he laughed, "Old Zhao, you came just in time. I am thinking about how many copies we should apply for printing in the next issue.
"
"Really?" Zhao Changtian approached the desk and glanced at the paper on the table, "The next issue will print 30,000 copies?"
"Do you feel more?" Cao Yang sighed, "I think so too, but the data we have is not comprehensive and difficult to estimate."
Zhao Changtian smiled and shook his head, "I think it's missing, so why not just print 40,000 copies."
"Forty thousand copies!" Cao Yang stared at Zhao Changtian blankly, and then laughed, "I said you are brave."
"Old Cao, we have to seize the opportunity. If we don't develop it, "Sprouting" will be ruined."
The past few years should be the most difficult time for "Grudge", or the most difficult time for the literary market. Literature has begun to move to the fringes of society, and the sales of many literary publications have dropped sharply.
"Grudge" can only sell more than 10,000 copies a month now. Last month, because of Yu Dong, the sales increased somewhat, but it was still a drop in the bucket and did not break through to 20,000 copies.
So it’s understandable that Cao Yang is a little tied up. Thirty thousand copies was a number he settled on after a long period of deliberation. This number is something the magazine can afford. That is to say, even if the market doesn’t react well in the end and sells around 20,000 copies,
The remaining 10,000 copies would not be a heavy loss.
If there are 10,000 more copies, the risk will be greatly increased.
Cao Yang still felt that 40,000 copies was too many. He knew Zhao Changtian, and the next editor-in-chief had a completely opposite style to him.
He always wants to work steadily and step by step, but Zhao Changtian always wants to innovate and is a born innovator.
"Old Zhao, I'm about to leave my post. I don't actually need to pay too much attention to things in the company. If I can spend my last term of office smoothly, I can do my job."
Zhao Changtian nodded and said, "So I want to thank you, Lao Cao. During this time, your support for magazine reform is obvious to all. Everyone knows that you don't need to intervene at all, but you still stood up without hesitation, so in our hearts
We all understand how selfless you are."
Cao Yang waved his hand, "I don't want you to compliment me or give me a high hat. I want to say that if we take a big step and the funds cannot be circulated, I will slap my butt and leave, and it will be you who will suffer in the future.
So I hope you will consider from your own perspective whether we should be so radical."
Zhao Changtian was very moved by Cao Yang's words, but he had his own insistence on the development of the magazine, so he nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Old Cao, I am ready to take on everything. If "Grudge" does not develop, sooner or later it will
