"Chu Kuang abandoned our fantasy department..."

"The problem is, he went to the reasoning department, and the reasoning department may not pay attention to him yet."

"Is reasoning so easy to write?"

"I guessed a lot of subjects, but I didn't guess that he was going to write reasoning."

"..."

At this time, Old Xiong also came out, with an excited smile on his face: "I seem to hear you talking about Chu Kuang's new book, is he ready?"

"Yes."

Yang Fengdao: "Write reasoning."

The old bear's smile disappeared instantly: "Inference?"

Yang Feng shrugged.

Old Xiong froze for a few seconds, waved his hands and said, "Send me the novel, I'll go to the reasoning department."

"Ok."

Five minutes later, the old bear came to the reasoning department.

It is not surprising that mystery novels have an independent department as a major subject with the same popularity as fantasy novels.

However, the reasoning department of Yinlan library has been tepid.

In terms of performance, it is completely incomparable with the fantasy department, which is the most profitable department of Yinlan Library!

So Lao Xiong used to be quite disdainful of the reasoning department, just a small department.

But today, it was this small department that took Chu Kuang away.

Ok.

It may not be appropriate to use snatching away, after all, this is Chu Kuang's own choice, and everyone belongs to the same company, and the benefits that Chu Kuang transfers to any department belong to Yinlan Library...

"Brother Bear."

The editor-in-chief of the reasoning department is called Cao Dezhi. Seeing the old bear come to the reasoning department, he seemed a little surprised: "What wind brought you here?"

"Chu Kuang's new book is reasoning."

Old Xiong curled his lips and said, "According to the company's rules, your department is responsible for the connection."

"Chu Kuang?"

Cao Dezhi was taken aback for a moment.

Chu Kuang is well-known in the Yinlan library, Cao Dezhi is naturally familiar with it, but he is not too excited when he hears the news.

Because Chu Kuang is not a writer in the reasoning circle at all.

Since Chu Kuang is not a mystery writer, his mystery novels probably won't be very high.

"Is he playing for tickets?" Cao Dezhi asked.

"Dezhi, Chu Kuang is the pillar of our publishing house after all, don't care if he is playing for tickets, don't get stuck in his novels."

This is the reason why Old Xiong made a special trip, he was worried that Cao Dezhi would neglect Chu Kuang, and the whole Yinlan library would suffer.

"Of course I understand that."

Cao Dezhi chuckled, "Brother Xiong, my condolences."

One of the top names in the fantasy department came to write a reasoning, and it is estimated that the editors in the fantasy department will collectively shut themselves down.

"Take your head off."

Old Xiong said unhappily: "When Chu Kuang gets tired of reasoning, he will come back. Putting him in your reasoning department is a waste of talents."

Cao Dezhi had no choice but to say, "It's not like we're going to dismiss our reasoning department like this."

Old Xiong sneered: "Is it Mai Tai? Among the top five companies in the publishing industry, our Yinlan Library's reasoning is the worst."

Cao Dezhi smiled wryly.

What Old Xiong said was the truth. The reasoning department of Yinlan Bookstore, the author's strength is seriously inconsistent with the status of Yinlan Bookstore, that is, it is on the same level as the reasoning department of some second-rate publishing houses.

Chu Kuang coming here is indeed a waste of talents.

Old Xiong waved his hand: "I sent the book to your mailbox, remember to check it, I also brought the words, you can contact Chu Kuang's manager later."

"it is good."

Cao Dezhi nodded.

When Lao Xiong left, Cao Dezhi sighed.

What's wrong with the situation in the reasoning department? If the performance can't improve, the editor-in-chief will probably withdraw himself and replace him as the editor-in-chief.

I feel a little upset.

Cao Dezhi returned to his office, opened his mailbox, and clicked on the novel titled "Roger's Mystery".

After all, this is Chu Kuang's new book.

Although Cao Dezhi doesn't have much hope, considering Chu Kuang's great reputation in the book industry, even if his reasoning is mediocre, I believe there will be fans who will buy it.

This actually made Cao Dezhi look forward to the sales of this novel.

Yes.

With Chu Kuang's current reputation, the sales volume of any novel he writes will not be particularly bad.

Because his fame has risen.

With such small expectations.

Cao Dezhi read the novel slowly.

Chapter 297 A Fool

The case is introduced at the beginning of the story:

Fra poisoned her alcoholic husband and inherited his fortune, becoming the richest woman in the village.

And in this village, there is also the richest man named Roger.

Roger's wife died many years ago.

Perhaps because both of them lost their spouses, they fell in love with each other because of the same illness.

Roger plans to marry Fra.

Before getting married, Fra told Roger: "I poisoned my alcoholic husband. This secret was known by someone in the village. Recently, he has been threatening me with this incident and blackmailing me a lot of money."

Roger was shocked.

He is a man with a sense of justice and cannot accept that the woman he loves has murdered his husband.

Although he had no intention of denouncing Fra, the engagement of the two ended without a problem.

But after all, Fra is the woman Roger loves deeply, so he asks Fra: Who is blackmailing her behind the scenes?

He wants to help Frau out of this trouble.

Fra did not answer immediately, but asked Roger to wait for two days.

As a result, Roger waited for news of Fra's suicide.

It was too late to grieve, and not long after, Roger received a last letter from Fra...

No one knew whether Roger had read the letter.

Because the letter disappeared, and Roger also died in his study, and his neck was wiped with a knife.

The perspective of the novel adopts No.1 name, that is, the doctor Sheppard in the village.

Fantasy novels are taboo with No. 1, and it doesn’t matter if they are suspense thriller or reasoning novels.

No.1 said that it can improve the reader's sense of substitution.

"An ordinary start."

Cao Dezhi commented softly:

"The murderer is most likely the one who blackmailed Frau. He was worried that his blackmail would go unnoticed, so he killed Roger and took away Frau's last letter."

This is not difficult to guess.

The story is generally attractive.

Although this result had been expected for a long time, Cao Dezhi was still a little disappointed.

It's not that Chu Kuang's writing is not good...

There is nothing wrong with the writing style of Chu Kuang's mystery novel.

The problem is that what Chu Kuang wrote is too ordinary!

Out of ten reasoning writers, nine reasoning writers can write like this.

So, nothing special!

But Cao Dezhi continued to read.

As a reasoning enthusiast, he enjoyed the puzzle-solving process very much.

And the ultimate enjoyment for reasoning lovers is undoubtedly to find out who the murderer is earlier than the case-breakers in the book!

Soon, the story proceeds to Chapter 3.

Then a new character appeared, a detective named Poirot!

According to the introduction in the novel, this Poirot is a well-known private detective who has solved many big cases. He has just moved to the village and grows pumpkins in the yard every day.

"A sudden detective?"

Cao Dezhi raised his eyebrows.

Detective Poirot is an outsider in the village. An outsider suddenly moved to the town, and then two people died in the town?

Coincidence?

Cao Dezhi suspects that the detective is the murderer. If this is the setting, then this novel might be interesting.

But after reading more than a dozen pages later, Cao Dezhi dispelled this suspicion.

Poirot is indeed a detective, and Shepard, who exists in the first person's perspective, becomes Poirot's assistant after Poirot begins to investigate the case.

Who is the murderer?

The person the police suspect is Rodger's adopted son Ropeton.

However, Cao Dezhi resolutely ruled out this person as a suspect, because in a murder case, the more likely the murderer is, the less likely he is to be the murderer.

In fact, Poirot did not doubt Peyton either.

This detective does seem to be a bit level.

As the story continued, more and more characters were involved, and Cao Dezhi's perception of the novel gradually changed.

"It's interesting..."

The difficulty of the case is constantly increasing, and there are more and more people who are suspicious.

The first is Roger's good friend Brent, a powerful man who happened to be a guest at Roger's house when Roger died.

Moreover, Brent has no money, but likes Roger's niece, but Roger's niece has a special relationship with Roger's adopted son Ropeyton!

So this guy can kill Roger, and then frame Luo Peiton, and he will embrace the beauty...

"Will it be him?"

Cao Dezhi started his brainstorming and looked at another character in the book.

Lean, thin, tight-knit, lively and cheerful young male secretary Raymond.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this person, but in mystery novels, the less likely they are to be a murderer, the more often they are murderers!

Immediately afterwards, Cao Dezhi noticed other people...

There are many people involved in the case.
