Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 295 34 Great Psychic Chen Muwu
Penguin Publishing signed Agatha under the guidance of Chen Muwu.

At first, Ye Gongchao was squeezed too hard by Chen Muwu, and he developed feelings of resistance. During the strike in France, Penguin Press pressed hard for manuscripts. After all, the Chen George series was the only cash cow for their start-up publishing house. The largest source of profit.

But it was impossible for Chen Muwu to say that he would put down his physics research and write novels wholeheartedly to make money. He could still distinguish the priorities.

So he recommended Agatha to Penguin Publishing House, who had already entered the world of novel creation but was not yet famous.

When it came to sifting through the mystery queen, Chen Muwu didn't choose any of her earlier works. Instead, he started directly from "Murder on the Orient Express" and adapted "Murder on the Paris Express."

The remaining "No Survivors" and "Tragedy on the Nile" are all works after Agatha's middle period.

So in the current timeline, although Agatha feels that Chandler, who belongs to the same publishing house but has never met before, is mysterious, and her words and story content are very familiar to her, this does not prevent her from Publish some works that are originally your own.

For example, the pioneering work of narrative trickery, "Roger's Mystery", was published in 1926.

With this very novel detective novel, Agatha, who had been debuting for many years, finally became famous and became Conan Doyle, who likes occultism, and Chandler York, who has always been mysterious and secretive. The third-ranked mystery novelist in the UK and the number one female detective novelist.

The fact that Agatha ran away from home and disappeared mysteriously has become more and more intense due to the hype in the news and newspapers, and it has even become a nationwide carnival.

Even the New York Times in the United States reported this incident on its front page.

In contrast, the advertisement Hubble published at his own expense in order to publish his observations of Andromeda, which was not favored by the American Astronomical Society, did not even know which page it was ranked in!

The reasons why Agatha ran away from home, as well as various past events that happened in her family, have now been unearthed and reported by reporters with great savvy.

Others didn't know where Agatha had gone, but Chen Muwu knew.

But he is not someone who loves to be in the limelight on such things, so after playing the game in Swaythlin Library, Chen Muwu did not go to reporters from The Times and The Daily Telegraph to reveal to them what Agatha was doing now. location.

The British police, as well as those enthusiastic people who wanted to earn a reward of one hundred pounds, searched across the country for more than ten days but could not find him.

As a result, Chen Muwu played table tennis for a week in London without caring about the world. He was able to point out the location of Agatha's hiding place as soon as he came out of the mountain. This can't be justified. Why?

If reporters asked him why he knew it, how should Chen Muwu answer?

We can't be like before, traditional Chinese culture is a basket, and everything is put into the box. Let's teach the stupid British people what the Six Yao Yao of the Book of Changes and Qimen Dunjia are, right?
Chen Muwu didn't want him to have the status of a magician in addition to a scientist.

And although there is no "The Sun" yet, in order to attract readers' attention and increase sales, the minimum threshold for journalists affiliated with various British newspapers is much lower than that of the future "The Sun".

News content is also true and false, and many of them have no exact sources.

Chen Muwu was very afraid that if he revealed the specific location of Agatha's hiding place, the newspapers would not praise him and the Eastern metaphysics he represented, but would probably create rumors about him and Agatha.

If such consequences really occurred, he wouldn't be able to get rid of it even if he jumped into the Thames.

Regarding this matter, Chen Muwu meant that Quan Dang didn't know. Anyway, in a few days, Agatha would be discovered by the police and her life would definitely not be in danger.

But another piece of news in the newspaper changed his mind.

Chen Muwu, who failed to make a small fortune from the Duke of York, set his sights on another big fat sheep.

So after finishing the World Table Tennis Championships trip at Swaythlin Library, he did not return directly to Cambridge, but went to Conan Doyle's house in London.

The last time I met Doyle was at the London Ghost Club party.

At that time, Doyle had been fooling Chen Muwu, asking him to use the space-time theory of parallel universes to conduct a detailed study on whether spiritism was feasible at a scientific level.

Doyle also promised him that if the funds were not enough, he could ask himself directly, and he would be able to earn enough money by doing a few lecture tours in the United States.

Unexpectedly, after several years, Doyle still believed in this kind of spiritualism.

Even though more and more "insightful people" who have been defrauded out of money have begun to doubt whether spiritualism is a kind of pseudoscience, this idea has become deeply ingrained in the brains of believers and can be reversed in a short time. Can't change.

Especially recently, spiritualism has just had a great victory.

This great victory does not mean that spiritualism has achieved any great achievements in channeling, but that the Hungarian-American magician has been using various methods to expose the fraud of those mediums who claim to be able to channel. Leigh Houdini dies.

Houdini was originally one of Sir Doyle's friends, but after he began to expose psychic mediums, he lost his friendship with Doyle.

It can be seen that Doyle was a man who believed deeply in spiritualism and refused to believe any of the incidents revealed by Houdini.

As more and more psychics were exposed, Doyle also had a strange idea, that is, Houdini himself was a powerful psychic, so he could accomplish many things with his own spiritual power. Magic stunts.

And because his spiritual power is too strong, he can prevent ordinary mediums from practicing psychic techniques, which leads him to "reveal" the truth of the matter.

Houdini's death relieved people all over the world who were superstitious spiritualists like Doyle, as well as liars who liked to deceive people like Doyle.

That's why they would call this a great victory, and Doyle would have no doubt to ask the psychic to use a glove worn by Agatha to figure out where this person is hiding now. .

Doyle must now want to prove the reliability of the psychic. If Chen Muwu comes to the rescue at this time and informs him of Agatha's specific location, then the hard money he can earn from the detective novelist will definitely not be few.

Moreover, he would also keep Chen Muwu's secret secret, not saying that he was the one who told the answer, but give the credit to the psychic.

Due to the recent disappearance of Agatha, he didn't even pay much attention to other news in the newspaper other than this incident. Every day, he either announced the progress of psychics to reporters, or hoped that the psychics he hired would be able to work as soon as possible. The results prove that spiritualism is a science that is so correct that it cannot be more correct.So he didn't even know that Chen Muwu was in London. Doyle was surprised to see this man who he hadn't seen for a long time come to his door.

"Dr. Chen, long time no see? Why did you find me here today? Could it be that there are any new results in the research on parallel universes?"

As expected, this was the first thing Doyle thought of and paid attention to.

"No, no. In fact, I'm here because of the sudden disappearance of Lady Agatha, sir."

"Oh? Could it be that you found the truth of the matter in your parallel universe?"

Apparently, like Houdini, Chen Muwu was regarded as a medium by Doyle, a very advanced and scientific high-level medium who uses parallel universes to channel spirits.

Chen Muwu felt that he couldn't explain it clearly to Doyle, but he had to point out that he really didn't have any superpowers.

"Sir, my visit today has nothing to do with parallel universes. In addition to studying physics, as you know, I am also a lover of detective novels, and my favorite character is your Sherlock Holmes.

"So regarding the disappearance of Ms. Agatha, I also tried to use Sherlock Holmes's deductive reasoning method to reason about it, and finally got a personal guess.

"In the summer of this year, Ms. Agatha's husband filed for divorce from her. The reason given was that he fell in love with a friend of a friend, a lady named Nancy Neal.

"On December 12, the day Ms Agatha ran away from home, she had had a heated argument with her husband over his announcement that he was going to spend time with Miss Neil without his wife. weekend.

“All of this news was published in newspapers, and some people speculated that Ms. Agatha was so stimulated by this incident that she became insane and ran away from home.

"It's just that in my eyes, there may be another possibility for this matter. Ms. Agatha is originally a detective novel writer. If she can write a best-selling detective novel in the UK, she must have a calm mind. And their The relationship broke down half a year ago because such an unexpected incident caused insanity. I think the probability of this actually happening is very small.

"I feel that her running away from home may have been a long-term plot, out of a desire to take revenge on her husband.

"The car and the poison bottle found earlier were probably a disguise she made at the murder scene.

"Perhaps Ms. Agatha is hiding in a hotel at this time and watching the development of the matter. Of course, when she checks into the hotel, she will definitely not use her real name, but must use a pseudonym.

"If it were me, maybe I would give myself a surname of Neil as a pseudonym. This is also out of revenge for the person my husband cheated on."

Chen Muwu stated his "speculation" very seriously. After hearing this, Doyle couldn't help laughing.

"Dr. Chen, you are really interesting. Sherlock Holmes' deductive reasoning method. I just shot an arrow first and then drew a target. I didn't expect you to take it seriously."

He had hinted so clearly that Doyle actually thought he was joking.

Obviously I shoot the arrow first and then draw the target!

As long as you take this news and claim to reporters that it is the result of the psychic's speculation through mediumship, and then successfully find Agatha, you can prove that spiritualism is correct.

You can't say everything truthfully like this, right?
The old man in front of me was very smart when he wrote Sherlock Holmes. Why can't he hear the implication now?

It didn't go well with the Duke of York, and it still didn't go well with Conan Doyle.

Chen Muwu felt that he had gone too far when he came to London this time. He didn't get the championship trophy that he spent a lot of money to customize, and he didn't get a penny.

After hitting a wall at Doyle's house, he refused the director's invitation to stay in London to continue exploring the relationship between parallel universes and spiritualism, and returned to Cambridgeshire overnight.

Two days after the World Table Tennis Championships, on December 1926, 12, Agatha was finally discovered in a hotel in Harrogate, Yorkshire.

More than 1000 police officers, more than 5000 volunteers, and summer vacation flights were deployed to search for Agatha's mysterious disappearance. This ended, and people's lives gradually calmed down.

There's just one person who still can't calm down, and that's Conan Doyle, whom Chen Muwu visited a few days ago.

What made Doyle uneasy was not that the psychic medium he spent a lot of money to hire had no effect.

Although the newspaper did not reveal what Agatha's motive was for leaving without saying goodbye, it did publish various details of the discovery of Agatha.

Whether he stayed in a hotel or used a pseudonym, it was exactly the same as what Chen Muwu said to him when he came to his home a few days ago.

At that time, Chen Muwu kept saying that he guessed these conclusions only after watching Sherlock Holmes and learning the deductive reasoning method.

Doyle is now more convinced that Chen Muwu's rhetoric is just nonsense to fool people.

Deductive reasoning may be able to deduce that Agatha stayed in a hotel, but it can deduce the pseudonym she used when staying in the hotel. The reason given by Chen Muwu is too far-fetched to say that she is vindictive!
Chen Muwu is definitely a great psychic who hides very deeply, and the parallel universe is the medium for him to communicate with another world.

A few years ago, Chen Muwu announced this matter to the world at the Royal Society, but the world was too stupid to believe the truth he told.

This also made Chen Muwu frustrated, so he never acknowledged his identity as a psychic, and always told himself that it was the result of his deductive reasoning.

Agatha's disappearance was supposed to be a perfect opportunity to prove that spiritualism was correct, but it turned out that she was one of the stupid people in the world, and did not hear the hints given to her by Master Chen.

Doyle regretted it endlessly, but he felt that he still had to try to remedy the situation, so relying on his reputation, he invited reporters from major newspapers in London to his home and held a massive debate to prove the correctness of spiritualism. Press conference.

The case of Agatha's disappearance has stirred up trouble again, but the client, Chen Muwu, who has just returned to Cambridge, still doesn't know anything about it.
