Chapter 442 Boss Shen’s Highlight Moment
When the reasoning books of 6 people turned into the reasoning books of more than 20 people, the nature of the matter changed.
Excluding the writing, plot and structure of the script, "Murder at the Class Reunion", as a mystery book with a score of 97, is more simple and delicate than the text. "Meet Again", which made Feng Zhiqiu hold onto Boss Shen's hand and cry for two hours, scored higher. It's because the quality of "Class Reunion Murders" is harder.
It is a reasoning book, so it is naturally excellent in terms of difficulty.
Not to mention that it was outrageous, at least it caused Boss Shen to pull out more than a dozen hairs.
At the beginning, Boss Shen opened the script with the idea of carrying the audience.
When others turned this reasoning book into an emotional book, the idea of carrying everyone turned into the idea of vindicating the injustice.
Later, as the case became more confusing step by step, Boss Shen felt that he seemed to be the murderer but also seemed not to be the murderer. The idea of settling the injustice turned into the idea of finding the truth.
Before playing this book, Boss Shen was very confident in his ability to play reasoning books.
He feels that he is a reasoning player at the top of the pyramid.
He writes mystery books!
Why in the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer genuine mystery books on the screenplay market and more and more emotional books. Ultimately, it’s because we can no longer write new mystery books.
All the tricks have been used up.
The motive for murder, unless the murderer himself is a pervert who kills indiscriminately, will be the same over and over again, and most of them can't escape the word revenge.
The killing techniques, whether it is a locked room killing or a traditional murder, are the same over and over again. I haven’t seen Conan. Nowadays, most of them are poisoned with cyanide. There is no secret room!
Even for various narrative tricks, players who have played a lot of mystery books can see the routines at a glance, let alone someone like Boss Shen who writes mystery books.
Mystery books are different from mystery novels. Mystery novels, whether they are short stories of a few thousand words or novels of hundreds of thousands of words, have enough words and space to describe and set up various conspiracies.
If the reading volume of a script and a single character version is 20,000 to 30,000 words, even if it is an emotional version, it is extremely exaggerated. Most mystery books only have a dozen or so thin pages. It is very difficult to form one or several exquisite cases through such a short content and a thick stack of clue cards.
Boss Shen frowned as he looked at the clue card.
At first he thought it was a vulgar script with three swords and two poisons.
Three Swords and Two Poisons was a very bad way of writing mystery books a few years ago. The technique is very simple, everyone wants to kill the person, everyone takes action, and no one knows that the other person is going to take action. The deceased was usually poisoned, stabbed with a knife, burned, or beaten with a stick. It was nothing more than a punishment from God, but there was only one murderer.
Most of these reasoning books with three swords and two evils have nothing to reason about. Everyone's methods are very simple and crude, mainly due to the large amount. Novices may be intimidated and will be able to crack the puzzle quickly after playing a few tricks to understand them. Therefore, this type of reasoning book was quickly eliminated from the market.
When Boss Shen first thought that "The Class Reunion Murders" was an enhanced version of Three Swordsmen and Two Poisons, he even sneered in his heart, thinking that Galaxy Script Club was nothing more than that.
It's good to write about emotions that require plot and writing, but it's not good to write about reasoning that requires logical thinking skills and modus operandi. How dare such a pediatrician mystery book be put into the Autumn Exhibition in such a mysterious way, and it is the first hit book in this year's Autumn Exhibition. It simply brings down the tone of the Autumn Exhibition, and is even worse than my own lousy book that I haven't actually finished yet.
But then when he started trading, Boss Shen realized that he was wrong.
This is very strange.
Boss Shen had a vague feeling that there was more than one murderer present, but he couldn't figure out which two were cooperating in the murder. Boss Shen had wondered whether there was something wrong with the character book itself. After all, everyone's role was either a detective or a police officer. The perspective of the detective book was provided by his client.
If the murderer wants to hide in it, the information given will most likely be false information. Boss Shen has also written about this type of reasoning, which is considered a more difficult type.
Because everyone is a detective and a police officer, there are actually no secrets between the character books, and they can exchange reading books with each other.
Boss Shen read all the character books, but found no obvious loopholes. There are no problems with each suspect's narrative, and they correspond to the clue cards. There are no omissions in the timeline.
The case hit a dead end.
From a technical point of view, Boss Shen felt that it would be impossible for a single murderer to complete the task, at least not to kill so many people at the same time. From a motive point of view, everyone has a motive for committing a crime, but the motive of the client corresponding to his or her character is greater.
But judging from the testimony, everyone does not look like the murderer.
Like "Meet Again", "Class Reunion Murders" has prepared many sets of character books, which can be circulated to all the onlookers. The plastic-wrapped clue cards are placed on the table so you can look at them anytime you want.
Tonight's lineup was originally a lineup of 1 and 5. Except for Boss Shen, the other five players were average in their reasoning skills. Because this is the first test, and everyone is a professional, naturally they want to see what can be done without DM support.
At the beginning, several onlookers who thought their reasoning skills were pretty good joined the battle and wanted to help Boss Shen.
It is really difficult to drag 1 to 5. Boss Shen is still struggling, and Feng Zhiqiu has already started to fail.
She had eaten two portions of the fruit plate. If she hadn't been unable to eat it, Jiang Qi estimated that Feng Zhiqiu could have asked her assistant to buy another portion.
When the few stores that joined started to struggle like Boss Shen, the rest of the stores who felt that they could play reasoning books also joined.
Then those who felt they were not good at it also joined.
The reasoning notebooks of 6 people turned into the reasoning notebooks of 27 people at 1 o'clock in the morning.
The 27 people frowned and scratched their heads, and even the ruined items were displayed with painful expressions. This scene was still very spectacular.
Cao Luoping, the DM of the open book, had even gone to the corner of the sofa to sit and eat melon seeds with Jiang Qi.
This situation can hardly help but remind him of the original "Kill the Script to Kill the Shop Boss".
Cao Luoping vaguely remembered that it was like this at the time. Six stubborn script-killing shop owners were sitting around the table. They would rather die than let DM help the car. Old John, who wrote the book, could even go out for a walk to have a meal and come back without any impact. situation.
What a familiar scene, except this time it’s a super enhanced version with 27 people.
Under normal circumstances, when a reasoning book reaches this point, DM will help the car.
But these 27 people are very stubborn. They are all big business owners with a good reputation. Except for a few people like Feng Zhiqiu who are arrogant, many of them are top-level players who claim to be in the reasoning field.
I'm a top-level player, can I let the DM support me by playing reasoning?
Disk, continue to disk, hard disk, even if all your hair falls out, you still have to disk.
No one can leave until today's game is over!
Because everyone joined the battle, and the onlookers became players, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and no one left the room except Principal Peggy.
Jiang Qi felt sleepy.
Jiang Qi yawned and continued watching TV series with Jiang Cha. Because Principal Peggy looked like an old man, she had to put on some pretense and went back at 11 o'clock.
Cao Luoping had nothing to do, so he was so sleepy that he dozed off while sitting on the sofa. His head was shaking, and it looked like he might fall down at any time.
There was still heated discussion at the long table.
Feng Zhiqiu and Poppy, who were completely open, fell with their heads on the table, looking at the clue cards with blank eyes like dead fish, muttering silently in their mouths, as if they were thinking and chanting a curse. It was obvious that they were attracted by this. Ben was tortured quite a bit.
This is difficult for them. These two are not very good at playing mystery books and are not much better than the novices. "Class Reunion Murder" is a hard-core mystery that novices should not join. They are really trying to play this kind of hard-core mystery.
On the contrary, several reasoning players who were watching were playing very enthusiastically. One of them moved a small bench and sat next to Feng Zhiqiu to discuss with Boss Shen. Those who didn't know it thought he was the player.
"Teacher, the secret room method has basically been solved, but the problem is that judging from this method, there must be more than one murderer. If it is cooperation, the testimony of the five suspects is no problem. Even if two people collude with each other, they will still be found. I can’t tell which two people they are.”
"And the hanging of these two girls, I always feel that something is missing. If it is..."
Listening to Boss Shen's reasoning, Jiang Qi pushed Cao Luoping who was dozing next to him, making Cao Luoping almost jump in shock.
"What's wrong? It's..."
"Shen Daoan will be pushed out soon." Jiang Qi pointed at Boss Shen.
At the long table, Boss Shen, who always had a bad face and seemed to dislike everyone and didn't pay much attention to others, was seriously explaining his views to everyone in a clear and logical manner.
After watching the reasoning book for most of this time, Jiang Qi changed his view of Boss Shen a lot for the first time.
Before that, Boss Shen's image in Jiang Qi's mind was similar to that of a cancer in the industry.
Although his boss is the real capitalist who lacks great virtue, and Boss Shen can be considered a victim, this does not mean that Boss Shen is not immoral.
His boss lacks great virtues, and he follows his boss and lacks small virtues.
He was involved in all the behaviors that ruined the industry, such as bundling costs, taking commissions from producers, and tearing up contracts. He may not be the leader, but he contributed to some extent.
It can also be seen from the attitude of his colleagues towards him that everyone does not like him very much. Feng Zhiqiu has known Boss Shen for so many years, and the autumn exhibition was run by the two of them. However, Feng Zhiqiu also disliked Boss Shen, so she gave him a little teasing in the afternoon.
But now, Jiang Qi found that Boss Shen still had merit.
The business ability is not bad.
Among the more than 20 people present, his thinking logic is the clearest, and he has always occupied a dominant position in sorting out the case. Because he was too bored in the middle, Jiang Qi also asked Jiang Cha to type out the new book that Boss Shen had not completely completed and show it to him.
Jiang Cha was also bored, so he actually typed out each word on Jiang Qi's mobile phone. Anyway, they cultivators have spiritual consciousness, can do anything quickly, and can also multi-task, watching TV and typing at the same time.
I’ve read Boss Shen’s new book Jiang Qi, and objectively speaking it’s not bad.
Boss Shen, who had been dormant for many years, really came up with a purely original and good outline after having no other works to draw from.
As for why it is an outline...
Probably because the difficulty of creating a purely original work is really too high. Several key points have not been written out. It is indeed a half-finished product. It’s no wonder that Boss Shen curses his black-hearted boss every day. This kind of semi-finished product looks good at first glance. If it can be completed smoothly, it will definitely be good, but now it is terrible when used as a finished product.
But if the semi-finished product can be written like this, Boss Shen can be considered to have something.
Boss Shen, who has something, is almost close to the truth.
"Murder at the Class Reunion" is similar to "Murder on the Orient Express" in that everyone is the murderer, so no one is the murderer in the confession.
This kind of similar crime modus operandi is difficult to achieve in scripted murder. It is impossible for the author to tell everyone directly in the book that you are the murderer. Please hide your crime process.
Everyone is a murderer, so why bother? Just open it up.
The reason why the five client's oral statements obtained by the detective seem to be without any problems is because each one has problems. It is impossible to figure out these problems just by looking at these five oral statements. The breakthrough point lies in the police book Feng Zhiqiu obtained.
But at first glance, Feng Zhiqiu's police book looks more like a useless detective book in traditional mystery books. It is a dispensable character book that promotes the plot. This kind of book usually only gives some less important side information. .
A group of senior players were clever but misled by their cleverness. They subconsciously ignored the police book Feng Zhiqiu obtained and failed to focus on analyzing her as a real detective. As a result, they were unable to uncover the flawless confessions of the other five, which brought the entire case to a deadlock.
Boss Shen is reading the police book.
He looked at it very seriously, his eyes shining.
"I know, no wonder, no wonder I think there is more than one murderer but don't know which two are responsible!" Boss Shen yelled excitedly, frightening the poppy whose eyelids were already fighting, and raised her head suddenly.
"Who is the murderer?"
Boss Shen did not answer, but stretched out his hand: "Show me the other five books."
Cao Luoping quietly returned to his original position. He knew that he was about to start work.
Sure enough, after discovering the key points, all the problems were solved. The inexplicable method, the undiscoverable murderer, and the irrevocable alibi were all solved one by one after Boss Shen discovered the core conspiracy.
"Murder on the Orient Express." A shopkeeper watching the scene sighed.
"Oh my God, everyone is a murderer, or a definite murderer. All the characters confessed in collusion. It's really a long time to see this."
"Who would have imagined this? At first, I thought two people committed the crime together. I have been trying to figure out which two people's testimony has problems. Who would have thought that five of them have problems."
"S is amazing. He can figure out all of this."
"If this nuclear deception DM doesn't support the hard drive, it won't be finished in less than 12 hours, right?"
"12 hours? How long have we been doing this now? We have been here for almost 10 hours now. If you don't think clearly, I think 20 hours will be fine."
"The most difficult mystery book of the year."
"The key is that the logic matches up. Look at these clue cards. The testimonies of the five murderers who confessed in collusion can match up with the clue cards. The truth without collusion can also match up with the clue cards."
"Let me see."
"Awesome! Who wrote this book? Great God! Such an awesome person actually came to write a mystery book. Galaxy Script Club is awesome!"
"Let me see, Mr. x."
""Meet Again" was also written by Mr. x, right?"
"Mr. x yyds!"
"S is also very powerful. Without S we would not be able to sit in jail until dawn."
"It's okay. At this level of difficulty, it's not shameful for DM to support the car."
For a time, the onlookers at the store were full of praise for Mr.
Since the legendary Mr.
Praise came to Boss Shen like a flood.
Regardless of whether these stores have any issues with Boss Shen or whether they have been cheated by Boss Shen before, at least at this moment they are sure of Boss Shen's level.
Boss Shen looked at the host manual and saw the completely sorted out logic, his eyes shining brightly.
He never thought that a mystery book could be written like this.
Just when he thought that reasoning was like this, that it was impossible to write anything new with literal reasoning, and that if he wanted to write, he could only write in a direction that was increasingly approaching fantasy, "Murder at the Class Reunion" clearly told him that it was You know less.
Mystery books are about being able to write something completely original, seemingly old-fashioned but full of new ideas.
The reasoning itself is that the logic can be perfect and no bugs can be found.
This is not just random killing, this is simply crushing.
Boss Shen has never regretted not making a special trip to invite Jiang Qi to dinner before. If Feng Zhiqiu invites Jiang Qi to dinner and builds a better relationship with Jiang Qi, he might be able to get Mr. Have a chat.
Boss Shen has been completely impressed by this mysterious Mr.
If conditions didn't allow it, he would have wanted to look up to the sky and roar three times.
At 3:22 in the morning, the first episode of "Class Reunion Murder" ended successfully.
Because I had successfully played an excellent mystery book (although I did not publish it myself), everyone in the room showed no signs of fatigue after staying up late. Everyone in the room was in high spirits and left chatting about the content of the book.
It is not difficult to tell from their chats that everyone is very glad that this book is boxed.
If it weren't for the boxed version, some of the stores present wouldn't even be confident that they would be able to get the license for "The Class Reunion Murders".
No one knows whether this book will make money. Reasoning books and emotional books are different after all, especially hard-core reasoning. There is a threshold. Good reputation does not mean good sales. Such a high difficulty is destined to exclude a large number of players.
But just like Cao Luoping knew clearly that the revenue of "Class Reunion Murder" would definitely be far less than that of "Meet Again", and was willing to help Jiang Qi promote it without taking any money, fearing that Jiang Qi would not pay attention to publicity and let the pearl be dusted, sales volume and love are not linked.
Knowing that it might not make any money doesn't stop these stores from loving it like crazy.
Script killing is also known as murder mystery. The original script killing only had mystery books, and the emotional books were developed after several years. For those early traders, the first books they come into contact with must be mystery books, and they have very deep feelings for them.
"Class Reunion Murders" may not necessarily make the store a lot of money, but everyone present is willing to buy it.
Don't put it in the store for other stores with such good quality. It's most respectable to just leave it alone.
Placing this book on this shelf tells customers that our store is also of high quality.
Look, such a good book, I bought it on the spot!
Without blinking an eye!
.
Boss Shen returned to his room.
At this time, most of the stores and distributors participating in the exhibition were awake.
Many rooms in the exhibition hotel are still under construction.
Boss Shen's assistant was originally in the book-opening room. When he heard that Boss Shen's place was over, he came to Boss Shen's room and wanted to invite him to the book-booking room. It just so happens that the book over there is about to end, and Boss Shen, as the author, should go over and explain it to the players.
"Boss, our version is almost over, and the response has been pretty good. But since it's not the full version yet, do you want to go..."
"The response was good?" Boss Shen glanced at the assistant and blurted out, "How can that crappy book be well received? I haven't even written about nuclear mystery. Have you ever played a mystery book before getting on the bus today?"
assistant:……
Although it is the truth, is it a bit too honest?
"My poor book is not even qualified to carry shoes for "Class Reunion Murder". Tell them to give them a chance to check out the book next door. I don't have time." After that, Boss Shen opened his laptop and turned it on.
Boss Shen's assistant was used to Boss Shen going crazy on a regular basis, so he calmly asked: "Boss, do you want to reply to the email?"
"Revise the copy." Boss Shen said, clicked on the document and began to revise the copy seriously.
That was a burst of ideas, and those who didn't know it thought he had figured out the core plot.
assistant:……
The assistant looked at the phone and saw that it was 3:29 in the morning.
His boss must have just finished a nine-hour reasoning session.
In the afternoon, I also played an emotional book where I hugged and cried with my CP partner.
The assistant really wants to ask Boss Shen, are you not sleepy?
Although most people in this industry can stay up late, and staying up all night is commonplace, but aren't you sleepy?
Don't you have a headache?
You just finished a 9-hour brainstorming session, and now you have the energy to revise it.
The assistant really didn't expect that Boss Shen was actually a hidden workaholic.
The assistant couldn't hold it back for a moment, and took out his mobile phone in front of Boss Shen and started sending WeChat messages.
Anyway, Boss Shen was revising the manuscript and didn’t pay attention to himself at all.
Assistant: That guy is probably crazy today.
My friend replied instantly: Oh ho? Talk about it in detail.
Assistant: You know he just finished playing this book, right?
Friend: Of course I know. Galaxy Script Agency's "Class Reunion Murders" had so many people staying awake to watch and wait for feedback on the first episode.
Assistant: He is revising the manuscript now.
Assistant: I revise the draft as soon as I come back, so energetic.
The friend over there didn't reply for a long time. It took a long time before he replied with two words.
Friend: Awesome!
