Chapter 591 The Art of Reasoning

In the next few days, Lu Yuer translated for Luoyang every day.

One of the episodes was that when Shui Laili and Lu Yuer were guests at Luoyang's place, they also read the beginning of the Japanese version of "White Night Walk". As a result, they were completely immersed in the plot and couldn't extricate themselves. Every day, they tried to pry out who the murderer was from Luoyang's mouth.

"I didn't expect that Luo Jun's reasoning was so wonderful!"

"It's even better than the king of reasoning in our country, Endo Ma!"

"Can you tell me, will the murderer who killed my husband be the hostess in the store?"

"I think the beginning of the novel seems to hint at this. The hostess in the store doesn't seem to be particularly sad about the death of her husband, and she used to be a dancer. From the hint at the beginning, it seems that she is the murderer..."

After reading the book, Shui Laili seemed to become very talkative.

Luoyang usually responded to Shui Laili with a smile. For the latter's reading experience, he would not spoil the plot.

In fact, Shui Laili did not expect to get answers from Luoyang. The bigger reason she asked these questions was because Luoyang was the author of "White Night Walk". She liked the feeling of being able to communicate with the author. The answer was not so important. Anyway, everything would be revealed when she looked down.

In her mind, Luoyang was already mysterious enough, and she didn't mind him being more mysterious.

"This book also reflects many social problems of RB, which is incredible."

Lu Yuer looked at Luoyang deeply. As the translator of this book, she could better understand the author's understanding of RB in this novel, as if the author himself was a RB person. This discovery made Lu Yuer feel that Luoyang was more than just mysterious.

Luoyang smiled and said, "I have studied some RB culture, although I have never been good at Japanese."

Anyway, serious nonsense has always been what Luoyang is best at. Otherwise, he really couldn't explain some of the descriptions of RB in "White Night Walk". After all, those were the unique understandings of Keigo Higashino as the author.

"Luo Jun is very powerful!"

Shui Laili was not surprised by this. She smiled and said, "Did Yu'er guess who the murderer was?"

Lu Yu'er smiled and shook her head, but in fact, she had already made a plan in her heart. When she translated to Chapter 13, the murderer had already revealed his feet.

First, Matsuura Yong confirmed that Kirihara Yosuke bought a little girl. He took the money to the Nishimoto family, and it could only be to buy Yukiho; secondly, Sasagaki went to the library to confirm that Yukiho and Ryoji had known each other since childhood. Regardless of whether they were in love or not, they were childhood sweethearts anyway. The only person who killed for Yukiho could be Ryoji; thirdly, there were no footprints of other people at the scene where the body was found, only the footprints of elementary school students, which just confirmed that the murderer could only be an elementary school student.

Yukiho is a girl and cannot climb the ventilation duct.

So at least Ryoji cleaned up the scene, and the murder weapon was a thin and sharp blade, which Yukiho didn't bring, so it should be the scissors that Ryoji treasured; finally, Sasagaki's guess in the first chapter actually makes sense: the waistband of the corpse was loose in two sections, which means he had taken off his pants, which means he took Yukiho there; and Ryoji's mother and Matsuura Isamu confirmed that Ryoji had gone out, which means he had no alibi.

These are all the inferences made by Sasagaki Junzo in Chapter 13.

These inferences have already revealed the truth of the matter, but for some reason, Lu Yuer knew who the murderer was, but she did not lose interest. Instead, she wanted to know the development of the plot urgently. This feeling is too strange-

Are mystery novels not based on suspense and the murderer is revealed at the end?

In fact, this is Lu Yuer's misunderstanding of mystery novels. Most people have such a misunderstanding. Everyone subconsciously thinks that mystery novels are the kind that attract readers by revealing the suspense at the end, but they don't know that mystery novels are also divided into different factions.

There are four main factions, namely the social faction, the orthodox faction, the new orthodox faction, and the cold hard faction that often appears in the West.

The theme of the social faction is the life of the murderer after the murder; the theme of the orthodox faction is the art of the detective; the theme of the new orthodox faction is the murderer's art of killing, and the theme of the cold hard faction is the life of the detective.

And Keigo Higashino's "White Night Walk" is a social mystery novel, and the focus is on the life of the murderer. Many people read this novel mainly to see the relationship between the male and female protagonists, one in the light and the other in the dark, and the emotional entanglement.

Of course, there are many controversies about what kind of mystery writer Keigo Higashino is.

Some people say he is a social faction, and some people say he is an orthodox faction. Luoyang doesn't care about this. He likes to read books carefully and doesn't get entangled in these terminological concepts.

Just like science fiction, the boundaries between hard science fiction and soft science fiction are always controversial among readers, but in fact these are all minor details. As long as the content is exciting enough, why should the boundaries between soft science fiction and hard science fiction be so clear?

At least the reactions of Lu Yuer and Shui Laili prove one thing, that is, "White Night Walk" is exciting enough!

The following plot will be even more exciting. The hero killed his father in his childhood to protect the heroine, and the emotional entanglement and identity difference between him and the heroine when he grew up, as well as committing more crimes to cover up the secret, are all highlights of this book.

"I have finished writing the next manuscript, take it back and translate it."

Luoyang handed the rest of the story to Lu Yuer. He had been rushing to finish the manuscript these days. After all, the number of words in "White Night Walk" was not small. Luoyang didn't want to delay too long, otherwise it would take some time to publish it in the future, so he simply worked overtime to write it.

Lu Yuer's eyes lit up immediately, which meant that he could finish reading "White Night Walk" tonight.

Shui Laili on the side was also very excited. She pulled Lu Yuer's arm and said, "Yuer, I will go to your place tonight. I will read as much as you translate. Who made me unable to understand Long Mandarin, so I can only read the part translated by Yuer into Japanese."

Lu Yuer nodded: "Of course, I will translate it for you."

After talking to Shui Laili. Lu Yuer turned to Luoyang and said, "Then, we will leave first."

Luoyang nodded, watched the two leave, turned around and habitually prepared a cat food for Miguru.

As if smelling something, Miguru immediately jumped down from the window, making small noises while eating. Luoyang couldn't help but smile faintly at this scene.

Taking out his cell phone, Luoyang opened Longguo's phone card. As expected, his cell phone was filled with missed calls and unread messages from Longguo, including Liu Qin, Hua Qi, Amber, Shuangyue, Xiao Yan, Tang Feng, etc...
