"What type of novel do you write?" Jenny asked, leaning on the backrest and looking at Yue Si in the back seat.

Yue Si spread his hands and said: "I have written a lot, but they have not been successful. Like my last book, I wrote detective reasoning, but because the protagonist was written too cleverly, and the evidence was light on reasoning, the case was very difficult." It will be solved soon, and the criminal will confess his guilt quickly under the iron-like evidence, which leads to a flat plot without a sense of suspense, and the sales volume is not good-I obviously substituted my own standards for the protagonist."

"Really?" Jenny couldn't believe Yue Si's bragging.

Yue Si said: "Of course, this kind of thing is actually very simple. It only needs a little basic knowledge and keen observation to roughly analyze the truth of the matter. After all, there are only a few strange cases in mystery novels. , the vast majority of people are ordinary people, and they can't think of any weird ways to commit crimes."

Jenny looked taught, then pointed to herself and her boyfriend Steve, and asked, "Can you deduce what we do?"

"Well, you should be working as a kindergarten teacher and dealing with children. Maybe you haven't noticed that your tone of voice is like communicating with children. This should be a habit developed by long-term work. It's an occupational disease." Yue Si said in a confident tone.

The rumored Jenny smiled in surprise, and then asked her boyfriend: "Do I really talk like a child?"

Steve said, "No, I don't think so."

"Of course you can't hear it. You two are too familiar and are used to each other's existence. To an outsider like me, the tone of voice that is very obvious to you is very normal." According to the answer, reverse the process, don't be too simple .

"What about me?" Steve asked.

Yue Si sized Steve up and said, "Hey, I'm just a writer, and I'm not a monster that seems to be no longer human in detective novels. How can it be possible to analyze what kind of a person is engaged in just from his appearance? Occupation, your girlfriend is just an example."

Steve was a little disappointed with Yue Si's answer, because Yue Si really guessed his girlfriend's occupation correctly.

However, Yue Si's next words pierced his heart: "I wish you a smooth marriage proposal."

The smile on Jenny's face was even more unstoppable, because Steve's expression became very strange after Yue Si said that, as if he was being told something: "You really plan to propose to me!"

"Yes, Jenny, I'm going to take you on a romantic weekend and then propose to you when the atmosphere is most suitable...only now it's all messed up." Explaining to his girlfriend, Steve Continue to look at Yue Si through the rearview mirror: "How did you see it, can you tell from my expression that I want to propose to Jenny?"

Yue Si shook his head and said, "You think too much of me, I'm just a reasonable analysis based on facts and big data statistics."

Then Yue Si cleared his throat and began to explain at length how he saw this.

"First of all, your attitude towards each other when you get along shows that you are full of lovers and unmarried. I have traveled to many places and met many people. Couples who have been married for many years, newlyweds, couples in love, and broken relationships lovers, temporary partners, I can roughly distinguish these people through the interaction between the two."

"Secondly, according to big data statistics, the two of you have already reached the average age of marriage in this country. You have a very good relationship, and you don't have any wedding rings on your hands. You are about to reach the stage of proposing marriage."

Jenny continued to smile and said, "You are really amazing!"

"No, I'm just drawing conclusions based on big data statistics and observations. Of course, it's the last reason that really made me confirm this." Yue Si pointed to Steve's pants: "Hey, your ring box It would be very embarrassing if it fell out of a trouser pocket and couldn’t find the ring when it came time to propose.”

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Steve touched his pocket, and sure enough, the ring box containing the proposal ring was next to his pocket, the kind that almost fell out.

This made Jenny laugh wildly, and Yue Si said so much in a serious manner, but in the end it was such a result, which made her overjoyed.

Steve asked: "Our detective novel writer, are you going to Lake Eden this time, are you going to write a detective novel with that as the background?"

Yue Si shook his head and said: "The only way to write a detective novel is to starve to death. I am going to change the subject matter and write a horror novel."

"Eden Lake? A horror novel?" Jenny asked curiously, "Can you tell us about your thoughts?"

Yue Si smiled and said, "Of course. To be precise, my next book is still in the stage of preparing materials. I haven't decided how to write it yet, so it's nothing to say."

"However, I did not go to Eden Lake this time on a whim, but I planned to go to the local area to collect folk stories, learn about the minority folk stories that people have passed down orally, and then create on this basis."

Hearing the story about Lake Eden, Steve was also overwhelmed with curiosity, and asked, "There are horror stories about Lake Eden?"

Yue Si nodded and said: "Of course, there must be some terrorist incidents in the school. A place like Eden Lake, which is far away from the town and lacks communication with the outside world, is the easiest place to breed legends, although basically it happened in reality. The re-creation of things in the process of spreading."

"The version of the story I heard is that the residents of the town near Lake Eden have almost no moral concepts, and the children who grow up here are full of evil in human nature, as cruel as wild animals."

It was just a background introduction, and the hearts of the couple Steve and Jenny were raised. Although it was only a very simple description, there was a creepy feeling under Yue Si's narration.

"In a certain year in the past, around this time, a group of town children were playing near Lake Eden, and met a couple who were going on vacation. Because they saw the couple's car, necklace and sunglasses, the group of children Attacked the unprepared lovers, knocked them unconscious, tied them with wire to a tree in the nearby woods, and prepared to starve them to death—anyway, few people around Lake Eden came, as long as they didn’t tell, this Even if a couple turns into bones, it's hard to be discovered."

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became deserted. Looking at his girlfriend Jenny in the passenger seat whose smile was gradually fading away, Steve asked, "This is the outline of the story you wrote, isn't it?"
