Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 349 Interesting things

Before he knew it, Yute Xinyu had moved from the bookshelf to the chair next to the bar and sat down.

Sakamoto glanced at Mitte Xinyu, and thought that Yute-kun seemed to like this book written by a newcomer, and maybe he should find time to read it later.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" is medium in length, translated into Chinese characters is about 15 words, and it can be read in three to four hours at the reading speed of Yute Xinyu.

This is not a conventional mystery novel, the protagonist has changed from a former detective to a criminal.

In this case, from the very beginning, readers knew who the murderer was.

Mystery novels often focus on foreshadowing and suspense. The author usually hides the clues of the murderer so that readers can't figure it out.

The charm of detective novels is that readers can follow the story to deduce who the murderer is.

This book does the opposite, telling the reader the truth from the very beginning.But Yute Xinyu did not lose interest because of this. Although he knew the "truth", the open and secret struggle between the protagonist and the police made him feel excited.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that the readers knew the "truth" from the beginning. For example, at the beginning, Xinyu Yute only knew that Ishigami helped the mother and daughter to create an alibi.

As for how the alibi was made, he only found out later.

When the answer to the mystery was revealed, Yute Xinyu was dumbfounded.

"Why didn't I expect that it turned out to be like this."

To create an alibi, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is necessary to forge some alibi. In some classic detective novels, there are many methods of forging alibi. I have seen one before. Put a dummy in his room, and then use lights to shine the dummy on the window, so that others think he is in the room.

However, most of the means of forging alibi are prepared in advance. If you want to make alibi after the crime, you may have to collude.However, the alibi created by Shishen for the mother and daughter did not use such things as collusion at all, but was real.

Yute Xinyu would never have thought that Ishigami had never thought of forging an alibi at all. What he forged was the time of the incident.

He pushed the crime back in time, which caused the police to go in the wrong direction in the first place.

With the development of modern forensic science, it is not easy to fake the time of death.But Ishigami took a different approach and started directly from the identity of the victim. The body the police found on the bank of the river before was not Shinji Togatake at all, but a homeless person who was not noticed.

Ishigami destroyed the identity information of the corpse, but left the loophole of the bicycle and the hotel, in order to mislead the police and make them think that the corpse on the river bank belonged to Togashi Shinji.

"What a meticulous crime." Yute Xinyu sighed, then shook his head, "It's a pity."

Yes, it's a pity, it's a pity that the policeman investigating the case this time is not an ordinary person, but Ishigami's old friend Yu Chuanxue, who has super reasoning ability and extremely sharp insight ability.

So later, Shi Shen had to change his strategy, sacrifice himself perfectly, and make himself a criminal, replacing Zheng Zhen's real murderer, Jingzi, mother and daughter.

After closing the book, Mitarinyu looked at the author's name on the cover.

"Qianye Teng, what an amazing author, it's really hard to imagine that he is a newcomer."

It has been many years since Yute Xinyu has not read such an excellent suspense mystery novel in Neon.

Sakamoto looked at him, and said with interest, "Hey, Mite, the book is so good? Did you forget to eat dinner?"

Yute Xinyu turned around, looked at the already dark sky outside, clutched his stomach and said, "I'm really hungry, this book is good, but I'm going to eat now, hey, pay me the bill. "

He put the book on the cash register, and Shinichi Sakamoto smiled, "This is my trial book."

"It's just another copy." Yute Xinyu smiled, "Sakamoto, I suggest you buy a few more copies. I have a hunch that its sales will be very good."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Yu Te's premonition has never been missed."

After Yute Xinyu left, Sakamoto Shinichi curiously went to the bookshelf to pick up the last copy of "The Devotion of Suspect X".

"Is it really nice?" He looked outside the store again and muttered, "It's almost time to close."

Then he took apart the last "Devotion of Suspect X" and opened it.

……

After Yute Xinyu returned home after eating, he was about to go to the forum to recommend the new book he just read today to netizens, but he was surprised to find that there were already several discussion posts about "Mr. Suspect x" in the forum , There are still many comments below.

[I found a good author today called Qianye Teng, has anyone heard of it? 】

[I just finished watching "The Devotion of Suspect X", it's really good, I strongly recommend everyone to watch it too. 】

[There hasn't been such a newcomer author for many years. 】

Looking at the posts in the forum, Yute Xinyu was surprised and relieved at the same time. It seems that readers of Neon can still be saved, at least they can distinguish good works.

It's just that what Yu Texinyu didn't know was that more than half of the posts in the forum were from Chen Qing faction's trolls.

The purpose of these trolls is to quickly push "The Devotion of Suspect X" to the eyes of neon readers.Whether the book can win their love or not, let them know about the book first.

The next day, "The Devotion of Suspect X" sold 1 copies on the first day.

For a new book written by a newcomer, this is a very proud result, but this result is not worth it, because at least one-third of it was repurchased by someone sent by Chen Qing.

In line with this wave of sales, some news reports about this book appeared in Neon newspapers, all saying that this book is a little dark horse in October, with a good reputation, and maybe the sales volume will continue to rise. continuously rising.

Although this wave of marketing is not as violent as the flood, it is enough for "Suspect X's Devotion".

All this book needs now is a seesaw. With a seesaw, the book's own strength can be fully raised.

Sure enough, after this wave of marketing, many neon people became interested and began to pay attention to this book called "The Devotion of Suspect X".

What happened later was simple. As more and more people watched it, word of mouth got better and better, and the reputation became louder and louder, a virtuous circle was created.

In less than three days, the single-day sales of "Suspect X's Devotion" exceeded [-] copies.

And at this time, an interesting thing happened.

Mr. Zuo Kusaka, a well-known neon historian, highly praised the book "The Devotion of Suspect X".
