Reborn great writer

"The Murder on Winston Street, what is this? Could it be that the e-page of The New York Times has also started publishing such social news?" Laura bought a copy of The New York Times as usual. Turning to the title of the front page of e-stack, it is very strange. .

The New York Times, formerly known as the "Grey Dame," has a predominantly black page.However, after the revision, the changes have been very large, and five pages are regularly published, a. News, **Metropolis News, c. Economic Life, d. Sports, and e. Art.The real name is very high, it can be said that it is the source of most news.

What Laura looked at was naturally an e-stack of art, "Shouldn't this kind of murder case be classified in the headlines?" Laura continued to read, and was surprised to find one thing, this is not a real homicide report , but a speculative novel.

In fact, Laura doesn't like mystery novels. It seems that her classmate and friend Jenny recommended her to read "Detective Sherlock Holmes" before, but she didn't read it.Because when she was in junior high school, she read a mystery novel by a well-known rookie writer at the time, but she guessed who the murderer was halfway through, and finally read the answer, which was exactly the same as what she thought, so I think mystery novels are meaningless at all.

Of course, there is another reason. She heard that the author, Adolf Su, used to write western fantasy, but now he writes reasoning. Laura intuitively feels that he can't write well.

Since it was published on the "New York Times", Laura browsed it with the mentality of just looking at it. .

This "Murder of Winston" showed the murder scene from the very beginning, the rhythm was very fast, and it pointed to the theme. From the very beginning, "I" introduced Dupin, a weirdo, obsessed with the night, and extremely powerful in analysis. Using such a It is indeed quite interesting to have a strange person as the protagonist.At the same time, this fast pace also made Laura feel good about it. She couldn't bear that kind of slow-moving novel.

The fast-paced nature of Laura's shift from browsing to reading, and then getting more and more serious—?

["You keep your eyes on the ground—looking sullenly at the potholes and car marks in the sidewalk (so I know you're still thinking about rocks). Wait until you come to the alley called Lamartine, where the The pavement has been paved, and they used experimental methods to make the cut and shaped stones staggered together. At this moment, you have a smile on your face, and your lips move slightly. I have no doubt that you are muttering the word 'cutting technique'. I know you don't think of atoms when you say 'cutting' to yourself, and therefore Epicurus' theory comes to mind. Besides, we discussed this a while ago, and I mentioned it to you, It is strange that the vague conjecture of the famous Greek should be confirmed in the latest nebular theory. Thinking of this, I think you will definitely look up at the Orion Nebula. I hope you do, and you do. Saw it. That's when I decided I had caught your train of thought. There was a comment in the "Museum Gazette" yesterday in which the author tried his best to ridicule the cobbler who changed his name when he put on platform boots... ..."]

People often associate one thing with another, and there is a slight connection between these two things, but in such a connection, sometimes there is a huge difference between the first and last association. ?

From the association of the stone to a shoemaker Santiri who wants to act in a drama, this series of thoughts that no one except himself, maybe I will have a second association, was guessed by Dupin in the book. ?

The stones in the street, the incision, Epicurus, the constellation of Orion, Santilli, this is the whole process of associations that Dupin guessed.

"Interesting, interesting." Laura clicked her tongue, repeating the same words in her mouth.

Even if she doesn't like mystery novels, she still finds the analytical ability described here very attractive.

The scary thing about Dupin's series of reasoning is that he is not a fanciful inference, but is traceable through observation, which Laura likes very much.

In fact, Dupin is somewhat similar to Sherlock Holmes from a certain point.According to incomplete statistics, there are 37 well-known reasoning masters on the earth in the previous life who borrowed some of the plots of this mystery novel. As for the unknown ones, no one counts them. Conan Doyle is among them? .

The influence of Ellen Poe is too terrifying. Poets Baudelaire, Wilde, Conan Doyle, Edogawa Ranpo, and even Jules Verne, the father of science fiction, have frankly admitted to being influenced by him.

In fact, Ellen Poe was influenced by Dickens, and Dickens was influenced by Voltaire, the European conscience, and Voltaire's works were also influenced by Chinese culture.The most typical example, the drama script "Orphan of China" was influenced by the Yuan opera "The Orphan of Zhao Family", so it can be concluded from this that the Chinese classical culture is really good! ?

There are some exaggerations in the end, but it is true that Voltaire loved Chinese traditional culture very much. He once said that Mencius and Confucius had a great influence on him, and Lao Tzu had the greatest influence on him.Although this incident is also from the book "Outline of the History of Chinese Literature in the Nineteenth Century" written by Liu Yading, it may be exaggerated, but it is not all false. ? <" was written by George, a member of the Beatles who influenced the world at the time, and the lyrics are the content of Chapter 17 of Tao Te Ching.

As the case progressed, Dubin's reasoning was like a scalpel, accurately uncovering each doubtful point before him. This mode of thinking is the way Laura usually thinks about problems, so her sense of substitution is Very strong. ?

In fact, this is a bit of an easy chair model, but of course it is not entirely true. An easy chair detective is a detective who can deduce the truth just by reading newspaper reports and not going to the scene for investigation. ?

"This turned out to be a challenge?" Seeing that the answer part ended abruptly, there was such a sentence [30 US dollars challenge, Adolf Su's problem! 】

I thought it was a very exciting short mystery novel, but I didn't expect it to be a challenge for Su Shichen to read.

"The challenge of $30? I'm here to reason and see, thinking that no one can reason it out?" Laura, who doesn't like thinking very much, also began to think. ?

"The key to this case lies in two points."?

"First of all, the murder scene is a secret room. This is true in terms of witness and material evidence. First of all, this room is a secret room. The door is closed and the windows are sealed with nails. Although one of the windows can be removed, But I also said that because of the structure of the room, human beings cannot escape through this window, but the neighbors in the neighborhood clearly heard someone a few minutes before the incident. This is the first problem." "The second problem is the sound. The voice is mentioned many times in the article. Whether it is Italians, British, Spaniards, Dutch, or French, they all think that voice is that of a foreigner, and they generally don’t recognize it.?”

Leaning on the sofa, she closed her eyes and thought for a long time. Finally, a smile appeared on the corner of Laura's mouth, and she put down the "New York Times". This smile and this action both represented that she had thought of the correct answer.

"Scattered clues, I finally guessed it. The murderer is a lunatic, that's why he killed people in such a cruel way and pulled so many hairs."

"A madman has no rules at all, so it is impossible to steal money, and in this way, the two doubts will be solved." Laura seemed to tell her reasoning to herself, talking to herself. ?

"Columbia University once conducted an experiment in which one hundred mentally ill patients who were able to act on their own and one hundred ordinary people were locked in a single room. Before that, they were given a physical fitness test, food and drink Set up various obstacles, such as a person's limit jumping ability is only [-] meters, but if you put food at a place of [-] meters or [-] meters, it is impossible to eat without any tools of."

"But in the end, only nine ordinary people ate food beyond their limits, but 21 mental patients succeeded. Therefore, it is impossible to leave human beings from the window because of the construction of the house, but this human being should be a conclusion in a narrow sense, covering all It's ordinary people."

"In addition, the incomprehensible words spoken by the neighbors are logical. Who can understand the nonsense of a lunatic." Laura's answer is completely reasonable, whether it is based on evidence or reason, Lao La La sighed and shook his head: "Dubin's analytical ability is very well described, but because of this case, the overall level of Dubin as a detective has been destroyed."

"The answer to this reasoning is a bit far-fetched, but there is no way. I read this report that it was written on the spot. It is already very good to be able to write a mystery novel of this level on the spot."

"But...it's still boring." Laura curled her lips. "Sure enough, speculative novels are boring." The bored Laura thought of a way to relieve boredom, and posted her answer completely on "The Frozen Throne." "Official.The Los Angeles branch moved quickly and opened a column for voting answers, but Laura did not vote for the company at all, but directly posted it on the public screen.

Not only the answer, but also the entire reasoning process and corresponding doubts. Of course, in order to prevent the official webmaster from deleting the post, Laura wisely reposted many popular forums, and also reposted her own Weibo.

There can be a reward of up to 30 U.S. dollars, and it takes almost a few minutes for her to reply to this post. ?

"It's so cool. The murderer is a lunatic. It's really unexpected and very reasonable. This seems to be the standard answer."

"I've also heard of the madman's transcendence experiment. It's like a distance of two meters. Normal people know that they can't jump over it, so naturally they don't try it, or there is a little shadow in their hearts during the attempt, but the madman is so big. Most don't know their limits."

"God! It turns out that when there is really money to send, I will reply immediately. The three places are [-] yuan, so I must grab them."

"It feels a little unreasonable..."

"Madman, it's so difficult, no wonder I can't think of it."

"If this is really the final answer, I would say I'm a little bit disappointed."

……

This kind of behavior of Laura is completely slapping her face. Looking at the replies one by one, Laura smiled happily, "Adolf Su, today I will tell you a truth, don't be too high-profile when you are not absolutely sure... ..."

ps: Kitty coded two and a half chapters today, and left half a chapter for two chapters after posting, and three more chapters should be available tomorrow. (To be continued.)
