god of reasoning

Chapter 39 "When the Willow Tree Sprouts, I Miss You!" "([-]) [End]
[Postscript · Explanation]
For a long time, I have found that the basic tricks in mystery novels have become more and more difficult to shock me. On the contrary, various narrative tricks can always bring me unexpected surprises.

So I began to have a great interest in narrative tricks, and I never tire of studying them.In the initial stage of research on narrative tricks, I also tried to write a few purely narrative reasoning novels, but I always felt that they were not ideal.

Later, a netizen told me that mystery novels supported solely by narrative tricks make readers feel that something is missing. Only then did I finally understand that the correct development is to superimpose N narrative tricks and combine them with original tricks. direction.

With the support of this idea, this novel was born.I combined the plot tricks, narrative tricks, and structural tricks together to make a hodgepodge.A total of six tricks were used, and I will explain them one by one according to my creative intentions:

One: One of the structural misleading tricks, this is a trap specially set for readers who often read narrative trick mystery novels.At the beginning of the novel, I indicated that this novel contains narrative tricks, and then used the narrative method of present and memory alternately in the text to make readers suspect that this is likely to be a split-line narrative trick. Tell two different stories so that the focus is on this one.It turned out that there was no deceit at the end of the novel, it was just a simple novel structure.

5: Structural Misleading Trick [-]. The novel describes Liu Shuangshuang serving his sentence in prison shortly after the beginning, and then recalls the murder case a few years ago, which makes readers naturally think that Shuangshuang is the murderer.Then, I analyzed her alibi later, which further convinced readers that she was the murderer.As a result, at the end of the paragraph, all the conclusions were overturned. It turned out that these were two different cases.This structural misleading, compared with the first misleading, still gives some clues. In the novel, I once wrote that Shuangshuang, who has served more than [-] years in prison, will soon be released from prison, but the sentencing of intentional homicide is different. It may be so light (see the previous note on sentencing), here is to imply to the reader that the case where she served the sentence is actually a different case from the murder case.

Three: One of the narrative tricks, there are two Xiao Ming in the novel. In the present part of the narrative, Xiao Ming is a child, while in the memory part of the narrative, Xiao Ming is a dog.This is actually a very common technique in narrative tricks, and it is also the most clichéd.So in order to hide it deeper, I let the novel use the aforementioned split-line narrative writing structure, just to divert readers' attention and ignore this simple trick.

Four: Narrative trick [-], the true gender of the narrator "I", this is also one of the most commonly used means in narrative tricks, and like the previous "Xiao Ming" trick, it is also determined by the split-line narrative in the structure of the novel. It exists by hiding and diverting the reader's attention.On this point, the text still gives some clues.For example, Shuangshuang is able to invite the unfamiliar 'I' to her home and entrust the child to 'I', which is not normal for 'I' to be a male.But if 'I' is a woman, then everything makes more sense.

Five: Benge's trick, that is, the QQ trick. There was no such trick in the initial conception, but considering that if the novel is completely supported by narrative tricks, some readers might not sell it, so it was added.The idea of ​​this trick came about about 2 years ago. After discussing with a few friends at that time, I felt that the feasibility was low, so I didn’t use it until the middle of this novel because there was no more suitable trick, so I took it. Come emergency.As a result, some friends who have read this novel said that this trick seems to have collided with an episode of a certain forensic investigation series in the United States.Hey, at this time, I feel even more predicament in reasoning and creation. I often come up with a good trick with great difficulty, but end up colliding with my predecessors.

Six: Deceitful tricks such as debts, strictly speaking, this is not a trick, but it should have fooled most readers, that is, the notes at the back of the article.Except for the part about the sentencing of the criminal law, the data in the rest of the notes are all fabricated by me, not from the real online investigation. Here I apologize to everyone who has been deceived.In fact, I originally planned to pay tribute to Utano Akio (the author of "When the Cherry Tree Sprouts, Missing You") by appending a rigorous note sheet, but because of my laziness and the troublesome data verification, I gave up and changed it to Cheng Xin talked nonsense.Here, I once again apologize to readers for my imprecise creation.

The above are all the tricks I used in the novel. Basically, each trick is relatively simple, even clichéd, but it is a kind of luck that I combined them together reasonably, and there are no major mistakes.

The above is a display of my results for the intermediate stage of narrative trick research, and I hope all readers will be satisfied.At the same time, I also hope that everyone will give more valuable opinions, so that I can gradually improve myself in future creations and strive to create more and better works.

Finally, I once again express my most sincere thanks to the enthusiastic readers who carefully read the full text and this wordy postscript.
