After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 342 Wait for me to change my jersey!
There was no sound in the hotel room, only the sound of heavy breathing overlapping, the document on the computer screen stopped at the last page, everyone's eyes were fixed on Poirot's words, they didn't know how to describe their mood at the moment.

When I first watched "Murder on the Orient Express", the first part felt that the portrayed characters, foreshadowing clues, and hidden lines were all in place, and I felt a strong sense of anticipation.

When I read the second part, I was confused by sorting out the clues, each had their own predictions, and all had a set of arguments, and there was no reason for the quarrel.

As for the third part, there is a reversal within the reversal, and finally comes an ending that no one expected.

First there is a king bomb. Except for Poirot, the director, and the doctor, no one in that carriage is innocent. They are all murderers involved in the murder. Then, with Poirot’s analysis layer by layer, there is no real murderer. .

Who is the mastermind?No, she didn't kill anyone.

Twelve passengers?It's not true if you change the concept secretly, who knows which knife killed the businessman.

And their motive for killing is revenge and upholding justice, which leads to adding three words, "victims" to their identities.

It is true that everyone has committed a crime. This is a fact. After all, no one can be above the law, but the problem is that the law is not sound. Otherwise, why can businessmen escape sanctions.

And when a group of people kill a heinous sinner for a good and righteous purpose, what should the law do?
Should they be sentenced and punished according to the procedure, or should they turn a blind eye?
According to the normal process, the sentence is to be sentenced, after all, the law is always greater than human feelings!

Let alone the era when the law was not perfect, even in today's society, there are few things where the law is greater than emotion?

But in the story, Detective Poirot used the second conclusion to imply that as long as one person comes forward to take responsibility, others can be punished lightly, which is a bit of a release.

Of course, Jin Zhongrui and the others can understand. As far as the case itself is concerned, the businessman as the victim will not arouse sympathy, and the murderer will not arouse hatred.

At this point, Chen Tianhong's "yes and no" sentence has also been explained. It is true that he is the murderer, but he is also the victim at the same time.

However, they thought they had seen the first level, predicted the second level, and understood the third level, but it turned out that Chen Tianhong had to go one level higher.

What Poirot wanted was not simply to let the water go. He didn't even want to punish anyone. He believed that what the "murderer" needed most was not punishment, but relief, from that sad tragedy, so as to move toward rebirth.

That's why he first stated the first conclusion, fabricating an unwarranted alien "murderer", because Poirot himself knew that there is no absolute justice in the world.

Between humanity and the law, he followed his heart and chose humanity in the end. After the big reversal of deciphering, he added an even more unexpected ending. Who would have thought that the protagonist would let the "murderer" go!
Because of this, the role of Poirot has become more flesh and blood. A detective may only be praised by readers for his ability to solve crimes, but a humane detective will definitely be sought after.

"Xiaoye, what do you think?"

After a long silence, Jin Zhongrui asked Ye Feng, the current No.1 domestic detective writer, what he thought.

"In the past, many people praised Hongwen as a creative writer. Almost all of his works created genres and shaped models different from tradition. I still doubted this, but now I believe it."

"Hehe, in this "Murder on the Orient Express", there was "everyone is suspected, but everyone has impossible perjury", and later created the "all murderers are victims" model, and finally changed It was a shocking accident. Mr. Jin, I feel that compared with him, the title of genius that was crowned on my head before is really ashamed."

As Ye Feng talked, he started the self-deprecating mode.

His trip to London this time was full of ups and downs, from the surprise of seeing Hongwen and the relief of telling what was in his heart, to the little disappointment after listening to "The Lost Weapon", and then to the shock now, and even giving birth to both. Shengyu He Shengliang's emotion and a little sourness.

Fortunately, Ye Feng is not a small-bellied person, the sourness completely melted away after laughing at himself.

"Old Jin, I finally understand why the background of the story is that era, and why the characters in it are all Westerners. As far as his ending is concerned, if the background is our country, he will be interviewed for tea."

"Haha, so Hongwen is still smart! But I think everyone's words are a bit superficial. You don't feel that the main idea of ​​this novel is to explore how to balance human nature and law? This is what we in the detective circle It has been an enduring topic, hehe, it is obvious that Hongwen is on the side of the Reasonable Party."

"I don't agree! Although Poirot seems to have made a choice at the end of the novel, in fact he only gave two conclusions, at most he was an accomplice, and from the words in the book, we can know that his attitude is actually very firm. , I don’t agree with, or even strongly disagree with, the [-] passengers who set up a private court, which seems to be a trial but is actually murder.”

"You can't say that. That's right. At the beginning, Poirot insisted on legal fairness, but after he knew the truth, especially after he knew that complete justice could not be achieved, didn't he choose to compromise? Good and evil are originally It’s the same, and I don’t think it’s a problem to choose the good that lets go of the evil for the sake of reason.”

Chatting and chatting, several detective writers began to quarrel.

Whether it is in detective novels or in real life, fairness and reason have always been the unity of contradictions. If this topic really has to be debated, no one can give a convincing statement to each other.

"Okay, don't worry about legal fairness and morality. Let's just talk about this novel now. I plan to recommend it at the exchange meeting. I'll see what that old guy Pearson has to say. I'll wait for it." He said "o my god! ", look at his surprised old face"

"Well, maybe I can win this year's Ellen Master Award. If that's the case, this life will be complete!"

Jin Zhongrui opened his mouth to stop everyone from arguing, then expressed his plan, and finally had a little lust.

For his first sentence, everyone has no opinion, because "Murder on the Orient Express" can be regarded as a masterpiece no matter from which point of view, but the second sentence is a bit different.

It is true that the novel written by Hongwen is good, but it is a bit taken for granted that it won the Ellen Master Award. As far as they know, several very good detective novels have been published abroad this year, with equally exciting plots and profound themes.

"Murder on the Orient Express" is different from "The Three-Body Problem". You must know that "The Three-Body Problem" won the Kimpple Award after a long period of publicity and fermentation, and many heavyweights expressed their liking attitude, such as President Bess of the United States Li is one of them.

Even if it is a novel that is worthy of a god, when it is just written by the author, it will at most cause as much surprise as Ye Feng and others. After discussing it, it will take time to immediately win the highest award in the industry and the recognition of the readers.

The reason why classic novels are called classics is that their quality and luck are indispensable. To put it bluntly, the era makes classics. If it is put into the era of the "pilot kidnapping case" in reality, "Murder on the Orient Express" will have no suspense. Directly won the Ellen Master Award
But it still needs time, or like "Three-Body Problem", it needs some influential figures to help promote it.

Anyway, the few people in the room are still far from the influence of the "big shots". They are very famous in China, but they are very reluctant abroad, including Chen Tianhong, who can only be considered a minor celebrity.

"Old Jin! There's no problem with the key recommendation. Anyway, after I finish reading this novel, I won't show my work at the exchange meeting in the afternoon."

Lu Huaiyi laughed at himself and said, let alone let him take the work now, when he thought of what he said to Chen Tianhong yesterday, "yin and yang weirdness", his intestines almost regretted it. If he hadn't had to go to the exchange meeting, he would have wanted to book a ticket and go back to China directly. up.

How embarrassing!Yesterday he was still mocking him, but today he has to praise him. Lu Huaiyi still can't make a fool of himself.

"That's right, what Lao Lu said is too correct. Putting it together with "Murder on the Orient Express" makes my work look very low-level, so I don't want to show it."

"It makes sense, I give up too!"

"In that case, I will follow you."

Lu Huaiyi's words reminded them inadvertently, and they began to make choices one after another. Anyway, when exchanging works on the plane, they almost knew who had prepared better works.

In the end, only Ye Feng and another detective writer chose to continue participating in the exchange of works.

Regarding everyone's choice, Jin Zhongrui didn't say anything. In this exchange meeting, in principle, all the detective writers present can share their works, but the exchange belongs to the exchange, and whether they will be selected in the final evaluation is the key point.

The International Detective Writers Exchange Meeting is held once a year. The general process is to hold detective, suspense, and reasoning novel theme exchange meetings in the auditorium, discuss outstanding detective novel works in recent years, discuss the follow-up development direction of detective novels, and exchange writing experience, etc. Wait.

This took a long time. Before that, the Detective Association specially collected new works of detective writers, selected a few outstanding ones, and finally commented on them at the exchange meeting.

This comment is very important, it is equivalent to helping to do publicity in the circle for free, and there is the presence of news media, which can increase the popularity and influence of the writer.

However, there are unspoken rules in the selection. In addition to the quality of the work itself, the network is also very important. Unless there are particularly excellent works, the works of Western writers are generally reviewed.

For example, last year, Ye Feng and the others also came to participate, but the participation was lonely, and no one's work was selected.

It can't be said that the Detective Association has completely colored glasses. Compared with the works prepared by Ye Feng and the others last year, they are at least on par with western detective writers, and most of them are not as good as they are. They are naturally weak.

And Jin Zhongrui came this time mainly to stand for Ye Feng and the others. Although he has closed his pen, he still has contacts. The current president of the Detective International Association, Pierson, has a good relationship with him.

He personally came to recommend the works, and the Detective Association would give some good ones anyway, but before he came, he wanted to focus on recommending Ye Feng's works, but now it's just Chen Tianhong.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

During the conversation, inappropriate voices sounded one after another, and their stomachs also protested.

"Yeah, I almost forgot! Everyone hasn't had lunch yet, let's go, let's go to the restaurant!"

Jin Zhongrui slapped his forehead and finally remembered about eating.

After they came to the hotel restaurant in a hurry, they suddenly found that Chen Tianhong was still eating in an orderly manner, which was quite elegant, but it had been more than an hour, and the appetite of young people was really different.

In fact, Chen Tianhong didn't eat much. The reason why he ate so slowly was because he was afraid that Jin Zhongrui and the others would catch him and ask questions when he went up.

However, there is no need to worry now, because they must have read it after such a long time, and there is no need to interpret it in detail.

"Tianhong, it's almost done! Don't eat any more, there is a big meal waiting for you tonight!"

Jin Zhongrui came to Chen Tianhong's dining table and said with a smile.

He is the fastest at ordering food. After all, he doesn't eat much, so he orders less.

"Big meal? What big meal?"

When Chen Tianhong asked, he was still chewing the food, and he was only [-]% full by now.

"After the exchange meeting, the International Detective Association will arrange an authentic English dinner, which is much better than what we eat now."

Ye Feng also sat down.

“Authentic British dinner”

Hearing this, Chen Tianhong silently put down the knife and fork in his hand.

It's definitely not because of the dinner party, he's not that good-for-nothing, it's because it's best to eat until you're [-]% full.

"Hongwen, I have to apologize to you, I underestimated people"

At this time, Lu Huai came over with the dinner plate shyly, and said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't think the article "The Vanishing Weapon" is very rigorous."

Chen Tianhong waved his hand indifferently, he didn't need Lu Huai to finish his sentence, he understood what he wanted to express.

What a big deal!It's just a few sour words, it's human nature.

"Hey, thank you! Hongwen, I have a question. We can all see that "Murder on the Orient Express" is not just a murder case of reasoning. You want to explore how to choose between moral justice and legal justice. Then Are you on the side of morality, or the side of legal justice?"

Lu Huaiyi still couldn't hold back, and asked about the point they hadn't finished discussing just now.

His words added a few more people to the dining table, and everyone looked at Chen Tianhong with anticipation. Jin Zhongrui was also curious, because he belonged to the side of morality and rationality.

"People, of course. Well. That's a problem."

Chen Tianhong opened his mouth to express his position, but as soon as he uttered half a sentence, he realized something was wrong. This is a trap!

No matter which side you answer, you will be entangled by people from the other side. The best way is to make peace and not express your attitude easily.

"About this question, I want to answer it with follow-up works."

Everyone was startled, what?Subsequent works?Have a new inspiration?
Suddenly everyone became interested.

"Tianhong, come, tell me what you think"

"Hongwen, talk about it"

"Ahem. Well, Mr. Jin, Brother Ye, you guys eat first, and I suddenly remembered something else."

"What's the matter? We're going to the Detective Association soon!"

"Well, just because I'm going, I have to change my clothes again! Change into clothes that can show our Huaxia image."

Integrate into one sentence, it is about to make a debut again, wait for me to change my jersey!
