Chapter 276 Tribute to Agatha?
"This……"

Wang Hailin looked at the words in the brackets and was a little confused for a while.

"President, didn't expect that?"

Wang Hailin looked up at the two juniors, and at some point, the two boys surrounded him.

"I really didn't expect that." Wang Hailin nodded and said, "I thought the murder case had been clarified. The only doubt now is whether Wu Yue will kill Lin Yi and Liu Changlin with the glass."

"I think it will. I feel that Liu Changlin's last sentence is too offensive. And Wu Yue has already killed someone, so it shouldn't be too strange to kill another person." One of the juniors said.

Another junior agreed, "That's right, I thought so too. I blame Chu Junshan for binding Liu Changlin and Lin Yi, otherwise I might not know who killed whom."

Wang Hailin frowned and said, "What you are discussing is not the crux of the problem, but the meaning of the words in the brackets. The last murderer... Could it be Wu Yue? If Wu Yue killed someone, then she should be the last murderer , if she didn't kill anyone, then the final murderer should be Lin Yi? She killed Li Shuang."

"No, we still don't know who died first, Li Shuang or Xu Si. If Xu Si died later, the one who killed Xu Si may be the last 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 are one or more people involved in this case. "

"President, look at their names, isn't it a little strange?"

"strangeness?"

"Yeah, Lin Yi, Li Shuang, Chu Junshan, Xu Si, Wu Yue, Liu Changlin, Lin Xiaoqi, exactly correspond to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Does this have a special meaning?"

The younger brother's words reminded Wang Hailin, and he thought of the title of the book again, Fatal Identity... He didn't think the title of the book was chosen randomly, it must have a special relationship with the content, but what is the relationship?

And these names, why such a coincidence?It shouldn't be Dong Ge who named it at will, Wang Hailin intuitively thinks that these names have 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 is it?"

"Could Xu Si be suspended animation? Have you seen Agatha's "The Strange Case of an Island"?"

"Yes, I have also read the English version, ten Indian villains." Wang Hailin nodded, "You mean that Xu Si was suspended animation, but this is unrealistic. Chu Junshan checked it himself... No, you mean Chu Junshan He was an accomplice with Xu Si, and he covered up the fact that Xu Si had faked his death."

"Yes, that's right." The junior who put forward this hypothesis looked excited, and he felt that he had touched the truth. "When Xu Si was found dead, no one else stepped forward to take a closer look. It was Chu Junshan who checked and told everyone that Chu Junshan was dead. Dead. Maybe the teacher designed this to pay tribute to Agatha."

"But what is the motive? Why did Chu Junshan collude with Xu Si, a policeman, a school guard, why did they do all this?"

"Maybe there is some special reason that hasn't been explained yet, isn't there more in the future?"

"Okay, that's all I can think of for now."

……

The second issue of "Fatal Identity" directly serialized [-] words, allowing readers to have a good time, and at the same time let everyone re-understand the level of this novel.

Especially the sentence in the brackets at the end makes readers unable to help but diverge their thinking.

The prizes for this quiz are Yu Dong's signed magazine and a five-year subscription to "Sprout", which means that as long as you guess correctly, you can prostitute "Sprout" for free in the next five years.

This effort is actually quite high. Leaving aside Yu Dong's signature magazine, the five-year free subscription to "Sprout" is worth a lot of money.So the enthusiasm of the readers was very high, and the magazine quickly received a large number of letters.

Zhao Changtian deliberately collected the letters received in the past few days, and picked out the letters for the quiz.

He took these letters to the office of editor-in-chief Cao Yang.

Cao Yang was writing and drawing with a pen, when he heard the 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'm thinking about how many copies we should print for the next issue. "

"Really?" Zhao Changtian leaned closer to the desk, glanced at the paper on the desk, "We will print [-] copies in the next issue?"

"You feel too much?" Cao Yang sighed, "I think so too, but the data in our hands is not comprehensive, so it's hard to estimate."

Zhao Changtian smiled and shook his head, "Instead, I feel that there are fewer copies. Why not just print [-] copies."

"Forty thousand copies!" Cao Yang stared blankly at Zhao Changtian, then laughed, "I just said you are brave."

"Old Cao, we have to seize the opportunity. If we don't develop it, "Sprout" will be ruined."

The past few years should be the most difficult time for "Sprout", or the most difficult time for the literary market. Literature has begun to enter the fringes of society, and the sales of many literary publications have plummeted.

"Sprout" can only sell more than 1 copies a month. Last month, because of Yu Dong, the sales volume increased, but it was still a drop in the bucket, and it did not break through to [-] copies.

Therefore, it is understandable that Cao Yang is a bit restrained. [-] copies are the number he settled on after a long time of thinking. The remaining [-] copies will not cause heavy losses.

Another [-] copies, the risk is greatly increased.

Cao Yang still felt that [-] copies were too much. He knew Zhao Changtian, and the next editor-in-chief was completely opposite to his style.

He always wants to be steady and steady, but Zhao Changtian always wants to innovate and is a born innovator.

"Old Zhao, I'm leaving soon. I don't really need to care too much about the affairs in the company. If I can spend my last tenure in a smooth manner, I can hand over my job."

Zhao Changtian nodded and said, "So I want to thank you, Lao Cao. During this period of time, your support for the reform of the magazine is obvious to all. Everyone knows that you don't have to intervene, but you still stood up without hesitation, so our hearts I understand how selfless you are."

Cao Yang waved his hand, "I don't want to hear you compliment me and put a high hat on me, I just want to say that if we take a big step and the funds can't be turned around, I will pat my ass and leave, and you will be the one who suffers later. So I want you to think about it from your own perspective, whether we should be so aggressive."

Zhao Changtian was moved by Cao Yang's words, but he had his own insistence on the development of the magazine, so he nodded firmly: "Old Cao, don't worry, I'm ready to take on everything. If "Sprout" doesn't develop, sooner or later it will A death is nothing but the difference between an early death and a late death."

　Happy National Day to everyone in advance
