Chapter 321
When Yang Chao returned home at night, he couldn't wait to import the manuscript Jiang Yuan sent to him into the reader and began to read it.

First look at the title of the book, which is the same as the previous one, both named after the case.

Looking at the introduction again, during the meeting during the day, Yang Chao glanced at the introduction, and he was already looking forward to it.

The same is true now.

Yang Chao had read a lot of the subjects of the letter of challenge conveyed by the murderer to the detective, some wonderful and some not so wonderful.

Mostly up to the writer, and the detective who is playing against the killer.

Needless to say, Detective Poirot has already demonstrated its unique charm with "Roger's Mystery".

As for the author, it is Jiang Yuan in Agatha's vest.

With the combination of the two, Yang Chao seems to have seen a top game through the introduction of the title.

The preface, from Captain Hastings, informs the reader that some of the following chapters will be narrated in the third person, and can vouch for its authenticity.

Many detectives will have such an assistant, a partner, to help them solve the case and record the process of solving the case.

Hastings is to Poirot what Watson is to Holmes.

The prologue part made Yang Chao frowned slightly, whether it shows to some extent that there should be no possibility of narration in this book.

In another world, "Roger's Mystery" can be regarded as the pioneering work of narrative tricks in Blue Star.

Since the book became popular at home and abroad, many reasoning writers have created with the core of narration.

It can be regarded as a wave of excitement, and many works are purely for the purpose of telling stories, but it is expected that many high-quality works will be produced after a long time.

In the last "Roger's Mystery", the name Hastings appeared, but he did not officially appear.

In order to complete the narrative, the case records of "Roger's Mystery" were completed by Sheppard.

The official appearance of Hastings also made Yang Chao feel more like a series.

"Romance is a by-product of crime."

Such a sentence in the preface made Poirot's image more three-dimensional in Yang Chao's mind, and the texture immediately stood up, attracting him to continue reading.

In the first chapter, from the perspective of Hastings, Poirot receives a letter from ABC.

In the letter, ABC challenged Poirot and asked him to pay attention to Andwall on June 6.

In Hastings' view, it was more likely to be a hoax letter, but Poirot had an ominous premonition.

In the second chapter, it is the narrative from the perspective of non-Hastings.

It was very short, a character who appeared for the first time, on the day before the 21st, Mr. Cust looked through the train timetable, and then ticked a name on a list.

This made Yang Chao a little confused, not understanding what it meant.

Looking back, the time came to June 21, and a case happened in Andwall. An old lady named Asher, who owned a tobacco and newspaper shop, was killed.

Poirot was invited to go to the crime scene.

The case happened as a matter of course, which did not surprise Yang Chao, but this chapter still tickles his heart.

Poirot mentioned several cases in the chat, which made him feel that he did not mention them casually, but felt that there were real cases.

Through the description of a few figures, Yang Chao seemed to see two series of works in front of him.

The first case has already occurred, and Poirot and Hastings go to Andwall together to find out what happened.

After reading this chapter, Yang Chao glanced at the time, and it was almost twelve o'clock in the morning.

However, he was already prepared to stay up all night reading this book, so he resolutely chose to turn the page and continue reading.

When he came to Andwall, Poirot made a preliminary understanding of the case.

The cause of Ascher's death was a severe blow to the back of the head. There was no clear suspect, and everything looked like an ordinary murder that would not attract much attention in the tabloids.

The only unusual thing about it was that it happened in Andover, which happened to be the 21st.

What is unusual about the scene is that there is an open train timetable, which is buckled upside down on the counter.

And this timetable is called, ABC train timetable.

At this point, there was a feeling that the game had officially kicked off, which made Yang Chao's emotions high in the middle of the night.

When the case happened, Poirot then began to visit and explore the case in detail.

But before the truth of the Andwall case was revealed, Poirot received another letter from ABC.

Second letter.

In the letter, ABC once again made a notice, this time on the 25th, Bexhill-on-Sea.

On July 25, the case happened as scheduled.

The body of a young girl named Elizabeth Barnard, a waitress at a cafe, was found on the beach.

When he died, there was an ABC train timetable under his body, and the page that was turned happened to be the train to Bexhill.

The plot of the story is very tightly arranged, and the incidents occur in alphabetical order according to the timetable.

The second case is not yet over, and the third letter has arrived.

The tight rhythm made Yang Chao addicted to it, trying to find clues through the details.

Judging from the current situation, the structure of murder in alphabetical order should be an illusion floating on the most superficial level.

The murderer challenged Poirot that there must be a reason for committing so many crimes.

So far, according to the existing clues, Yang Chao can't deduce the motive at all.

On the contrary, this aroused Yang Chao's interest in reading even more, and he almost couldn't wait to keep reading.

The third case, the fourth case, spread out one by one, and the number of characters on the scene continued to increase.

The details are rich and intricately unfolded.

Yang Chao also felt that he was close to the truth of the case based on the existing clues.

Before he knew it, Yang Chao had read the chapter where the truth was revealed.

So far, in Yang Chao's view, the truth of the case has basically been revealed to him.

Before starting to read the chapter of truth, Yang Chao rubbed his palms excitedly.

The pleasure of reading mystery novels also lies in the game showdown between readers and authors.

According to the clues that you see in your eyes, guess the truth in advance, and connect all the details together, you will have a great sense of accomplishment.

On the contrary, if the guess is completely deviated and falls into the trap set by the author, there will be an indescribable refreshing feeling.

As the truth began to be revealed, Yang Chao's eyes widened in surprise.

In the end, he still fell into the trap, and there was still a reversal.

You cannot see the forest without seeing the trees.

When a needle is stuck in the needle cushion least noticeable, murder equals, an isolated murder is least noticeable when linked to a series of murders.

Hidden leaves in the forest!Cover murder with murder!

This is still the criminal method written by Agatha, and this routine has also been imitated by many reasoning writers.

Including "The Devotion of Suspect X" also draws on it.

Even though he had read about this routine in "Suspect X", Yang Chao was still amazed by this reversal.

It's a different reading experience, with a more thorough thrill of reasoning in ABC Murder.

Various minutiae, portrayal and depiction of characters, and the mode adopted in the whole case all make the whole book full of readability.

Including the use of the technique of hiding leaves in the forest, they are all so complete.

Such a case made Yang Chao feel that the sentence in the preface-romance is a by-product of crime.

Throughout the book, he has a sense of classical elegance.

As the second work in the Poirot series, it amazed him again.

Standing up from the desk, he stretched his stiff limbs, and then flipped through the English translation sent by Jiang Yuan.

No matter how you look at it, it feels perfect, and I feel that the performance in the second half of the year has been settled.

Yang Chao couldn't imagine it, and felt that the pinnacle of his career in this life seemed to have just begun.

So excited that he couldn't sleep, Yang Chao picked up his phone and sent many messages to Jiang Yuan, and gradually calmed down and went to bed.

Jiang Yuan saw Yang Chao's reply the next morning, and the last message was sent at [-]:[-] in the morning.

First there were a few rainbow farts, Jiang Yuan accepted it for Grandma, thinking it was justifiable.

Afterwards, there are long paragraphs of Yang Chao's post-reading reflections and his own analysis of this case. The writing is so long that Jiang Yuan couldn't finish it.

But it can be seen that Yang Chao has indeed read the book seriously.

After reading the impressions, there are some publishing issues, which need to be connected later.

As for the last piece of news, Yang Chao subtly asked whether the murder case mentioned in the book that happened when several people were playing bridge was indeed involved.

Jiang Yuan recalled it for a while, and it should be the "Hole Card" in the Poirot series.

Among the Poirot series, "Hole Cards" can be regarded as a word-of-mouth work, and it belongs to the more famous one.

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and gave an affirmative answer.

After replying to Yang Chao's message, Jiang Yuan changed her clothes and opened the door.

The speakers of the program group have already started shouting downstairs.

According to today's itinerary, Sun Taoju went to taste Wencheng's special breakfast in the morning.

Yesterday's dinner made Jiang Yuan have high expectations for breakfast.

"Good morning!" In the room next to Jiang Yuan, Su Xiujin opened the door and greeted Jiang Yuan.

Su Xiujin was a little sleepy at first, but after seeing Jiang Yuan, the air became brighter.

Jiang Yuan is wearing a light blue T-shirt with white overalls today. The blue and white color scheme is very refreshing.

The hair is covered casually, and the state of bare makeup makes her look closer.

Jiang Yuan responded with a smile, "Good morning."

Then the two walked together and started to walk downstairs.

Before the microphone was plugged in, Jiang Yuan started chatting with Su Xiujin.

Among them, Jiang Yuan is not very familiar with Su Xiujin.

But in this new album, I want to work with Su Xiujin again.

So I started from the sidelines with some knowledge of embroidery, and talked about my professional knowledge, and Su Xiujin was also very topical.

Before we knew it, we chatted enthusiastically.

Seeing that the timing was almost the same, Jiang Yuan saw at the end, "I want to invite you to collaborate with me on my latest physical album. Would you like it?"

Su Xiujin was slightly taken aback, but still nodded without hesitation, "I am willing."

After answering this sentence, his face turned slightly red, as if he had answered other questions.

Shen Yi passed by the two of them, only heard the words "I am willing", and then glanced at Su Xiujin's face.

Immediately in awe, he gave Jiang Yuan a thumbs up quietly, and made a "crack" sound with his tongue flicking in his mouth.

Jiang Yuan didn't understand what he meant, but he was very happy that the cooperation was settled.

But in Shen Yi's understanding, that is the appearance of being proud of the spring breeze. .

After everyone gathered, don't get on the microphone and take the bus, and go to the breakfast restaurant booked by the program group to taste breakfast.

On the way, Shen Yi chatted with Jiang Yuan again about the content of the novel, saying that he had started watching "Suspect X" last night, and now he was discussing the plot with Jiang Yuan.

Yesterday, when Jiang Yuan and Sun Tao were drinking tea, they roughly asked about the editing of this type of part.

Content related to literature will not be deliberately edited, but the parts involving novel spoilers will be processed with a "beep" sound, such as the current paragraph will be kept for about ten seconds.

After chatting about the content of the novel for a while, the topic then turned to today's travel.

Jiang Yuan found it quite interesting to talk about travel with Liu Zhiyun and others. After all, these people have traveled all the way since the beginning of the show, and they already have a lot of experience.

Cooperating with the arrangement of the program group, Liu Zhiyun and others can make a plan that sounds pretty good.

After Jiang Yuan became familiar with Feng Tie and others, everyone took good care of Jiang Yuan.

Liu Zhiyun also took the initiative to mention that she helped Jiang Yuan draw the album cover and helped promote Jiang Yuan's new album.

Feng Tie then talked about the lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain" he wrote. Seeing this, Jiang Yuan followed suit and asked if Feng Tie's words could be used as the font for the new album's lyrics.

Feng Tie responded immediately, and seemed to be a little happy about it.

On the way to breakfast, Liu Zhiyun and others talked to each other, talking and participating in the production of Jiang Yuan's physical album.

In words, Shen Yi concluded, "It feels like your physical album is like a work of art."

There are both Liu Zhiyun's paintings and Feng Tie's calligraphy, and Su Xiujin will also participate in the production.

The participation of so many artists is not a work of art.

After arriving at the breakfast shop, Jiang Yuan smiled happily. The atmosphere of chatting on the way was very good, and she even advertised for her album.

Next, I tasted the special breakfast of Wencheng, which was also very suitable for the taste. This is the beginning of a beautiful day.

The new day's journey was very fulfilling, and the program team took many well-known scenic spots with the arrangement.

But because it was all on location, there were many fans and passers-by watching during the filming.

Fortunately, the program team also predicted this situation in advance and made preparations.

So it's just that the filming scene was relatively lively, and many people came to chase stars, but it didn't cause too much commotion.

After another day of travel, Jiang Yuan went to rest soon after returning to the hotel.

After getting up early and shopping all day, I was really tired.

Another day, and the last day for the program group to arrange a trip.

After the trip on the last day, it was time for the guests to plan their itinerary and prepare their works.

Early on, everyone boarded the famous mountain in Wencheng together.

Compared with the previous time in the urban area, there were not many people around the mountain in the morning. Jiang Yuan felt the feeling of climbing a mountain for a long time, and he didn't know when the last time he climbed a mountain.

On this day, Jiang Yuan also thought about the works to be performed in this episode.
