Started with a green hat for Verlaine

February is a special season for the literary world of mystery novels.

The "declaration of war" by a mystery novelist from a small country in the Far East was known to the literary circles of Britain and the United States under the impetus of capital. Ranpo Edogawa's daimyo entered Europe in another way!

He released a novel called "The Mystery of the World". Compared with his early messy drafts, the content is much better, with a complete logical chain, but the text can still make people stunned when they read the novel for the first time, as if they have been attacked. Mental attack.However, the novel hides a profound storyline in the chaos, and reasoning enthusiasts try hard to read it, and it seems that they can see some buried secrets.

Edogawa Rampo hasn't done anything else yet, but he has achieved a miraculous situation where a hundred readers read the novel and have a hundred different opinions-the plot is all based on imagination.

However, there are always a minority of smart people in the world.

After a few days of excitement in the European literary world, more and more people slandered this novel, and even the Japanese literary world was scolded bloody by people from Britain and the United States, saying that elementary school students could not write such rubbish works!

"What is "The Mystery of the World"? It's clearly a fool in the world, who can understand it!"

"What do you mean that the one who solves the mystery can write to the author? The biggest mystery of this novel is the author, who dare to insult our mystery writers with this kind of novel!"

"Go away, we have the strongest detective in the United States, and it's not a novel's turn to provoke us!"

"What is the United States, the United Kingdom is the strongest!"

"America? England? We French just look at you and laugh, don't a bunch of idiots know that the profession of 'detective' comes from the French?"

"It's right to despise Japan who speaks out loud."

“Garbage Japan!”

"I spent nearly a hundred dollars and bought this kind of thing? I want to return it!"

The Japanese literary world is completely stunned, and has no idea what happened.Because this novel was only published in the United Kingdom and the United States, it did not harm the people of the country. In the words of Edogawa Ranpo, the reasoning circle of the country is already his world!

This "declaration of war" has inspired the ridicule of the three countries, and even the surrounding countries. Novels are expensive reading materials in Europe. The price of "Human Puzzle" is about [-] dollars, which is far inferior to those priced at hundreds of dollars. Popular novel, but was returned because of the content.In this regard, these British and American readers found a surprising thing, and they returned the goods for free within three days!

Not only that, the publishing house claimed that this novel was written by the author for top detectives, and whoever can solve the perfect murder case in the novel will get a reward of 500 million US dollars!

If it can't be cracked, the answer and the reading version for normal people will be announced one month later!

At that time, Britain and the United States will lose!

This marketing plan is not so superficial, there are many small actions behind it, the overall effect can be called lore.The publication slogan keeps stimulating the readers' sense of national honor, and uses the difference between "genius" and "ordinary people" to attract readers, and the bonus is tantalizing!

Ranpo Edogawa, who is completely unaware of the insults from the outside world, is very satisfied in waiting for the results in Japan.

"Only a fool can't understand!"

His words made Ma Shengqiu cover his face.

Lan Tang secretly tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Qiu Ye, do you understand?"

Ma Shengqiu's voice was even softer: "...I don't understand."

Lan Tang felt relieved.

Great, the whole family is stupid this time, just be patient and wait for the normal version to appear!

However, Aso Qiuya's next sentence: "But I know what genre he wrote. He has mastered the essence of mystery novels. Everything is based on logic. This version of the novel is to test those smart people. The next release of the novel The version is the real 'fiction'."

Lan Tang was silent for a few seconds, and returned to the study to review it.

He didn't admit that he got a headache just looking at it!

As for Chuya Nakahara, he would not embarrass himself. After learning that Edogawa Ranpo had published a novel for detectives, he turned a few pages, lost interest, and happily sent the sample book in his hand to Those "external brains" in the address book, waiting for their answers.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko: "..."

Yusaku Kudo: "..."

Kudo Shinichi: "... Ranpo brother's work is indeed a genius!"

It takes a certain amount of difficulty to understand!

Unlike Tatsuhiko Shibusawa who had been autistic for a while after becoming short-haired, Yusaku Kudo stopped what he was doing and concentrated on reading the novel with his son.

Then, Yusaku Kudo found in distress that he understood it, but couldn't find the truth.

The method of describing the story in this novel made his eyes shine. It is similar to his own writing ideas. The development of things follows a certain logical law. The strong writing style and will describe the world in the eyes of Edogawa Ranpo. horrible!

"This is a new genre, born out of the traditional mystery novel..."

Yusaku Kudo murmured, putting down the book.

Looking at his son again, Kudo Yusaku laughed, and the other party was so entangled that he was scratching his hair.

"Xinyi, your hair is falling out."

"what?!"

Kudo Shinichi looked at the hair between his fingers stupidly.

He is only nine years old this year, and because of the object of his admiration, he developed a feeling of baldness prematurely.

Yusaku Kudo has seen the charm of "The Mystery of the World". As long as you understand it, you will be fascinated by the world in the author's eyes, which contains wisdom beyond the ordinary.

"It seems that Mr. Ranbu is going to let people from Britain and the United States take action, so let me help him too."

Even if he immigrated, Yusaku Kudo would not consider himself an American and help the motherland with a smile.

He hoped that Mr. Ranbu would not have to bear these slanders.

Yusaku Kudo, a former Japanese mystery novelist and now a well-known figure in Los Angeles, has a huge fan base, otherwise his wife would not be enthusiastically called "The Duchess of the Dark Night" by readers.He sent a message on Twitter: ""The Mystery of the World" is a masterpiece written for detectives. It has its own genre and created a precedent in the field of mystery novels. Since the first edition is relatively deep and difficult to understand, I personally recommend Everyone is waiting for the regular version later.”

This passage ignited the enthusiasm of Kudo Yusaku's fans.

What is their favorite thing to watch?It's a speculative novel!You can collect it even if you don't understand it!

Subsequently, the Japanese publishing house asked Aso Akiya, who led the matter.

"Mr. Qiuya, Mr. Kudo has promoted the novel. Do we really have to wait a month before publishing the regular version of the novel? I am worried that readers who buy the book will blacken Mr. Ranpo."

"no need to worry."

Aso Qiu replied with a smile, turned his head and urged Edogawa to make a wild step.

It only took a short time to write "The Mystery of the World", but for Edogawa Ranpo to write the regular version, with the other party's slow-moving hobby, it is estimated that he must be forced to rush.

Ma Shengqiu simply taught Ranpo how to use Twitter and registered an account for him.Personal blogs are popular in China, while Twitter in foreign countries was originally born in [-]. It was a new thing that he invested and supported in advance, and made a new thing out of nowhere.

Then, a writer who can play Twitter and understand multiple languages ​​was born.

On blindness——

No one can beat Ranpo Edogawa!

Sure enough, Ranpo Edogawa became anxious when he saw the content of Twitter.He has a strong self-esteem and can't stand any grievances. He picked up the keyboard and started typing, trying to tell others about the content of the novel. A long paragraph of words rushed out, and described the beginning of the novel to ordinary people in detail. Usually hard thinking and meditation are countless times faster.

Ma Shengqiu also quietly closed the door for him, blocking the sound of typing.

He gave Lan Tang a victory gesture.

success!

Lan Tang nodded, and could see the birth of the normal version earlier.

The American detective world, under the influence of Kudo Yusaku and Edogawa Ranpo's Twitter, caused even greater waves. After a few days, a top detective with social phobia found out about this incident.

The curtains of a mansion in Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, were tightly drawn. An American young man was hiding at home, hunched over, sleeping soundly on the table, with long bangs covering his eyes. Under his arm was an unfinished handwritten novel.

Not surprisingly, he was also a writer.

It’s just that, unlike other writers, he never publishes his own works, and disdains to show them to the public. At most, after finishing writing, he happily finds one or two smart people to “read”.

Suddenly, the vibrating sound of the mobile phone woke him up, causing the messy-haired American youth to look at his mobile phone in a daze, and clicked on Twitter, and there were a few people with good friendships on Aite himself.

【slope!Come read this novel! 】

[Japanese writers are declaring war on Britain and the United States, and tweeting that we have no reasoning masters!This guy is crazy about solving puzzles, his reasoning level is very high, he is really capable, and he claims to be the No. 1 detective in the world in a month's time! 】

[Damn it, it's all up to you, Poe!Get online soon! 】

[I mailed the book to you! ! ! 】

[Don't let that person continue to be arrogant, now Twitter is full of detectives from the country! 】

Edgar Allan Poe: "???"

As soon as his mind cleared up, he quickly clicked on the link on Twitter.

Then, his eyes hidden under his hair saw his future enemy in life.

——Edogawa Ranpo!

The profile picture of this person is a black cat with green eyes, and the name is so arrogant that he has registered his real name. The geographical information is from Yokohama City, Japan, and he is a professional detective and novelist.

"My generation... It's the first time I've seen such an arrogant person."

Edgar Allan Poe's voice was gloomy, and the other's words on Twitter were provocative!

He is a "giant" representing the American reasoning community!

"I accept your letter of war."

After speaking, Edgar Allan Poe took his own steps, running in small steps, and ran to the mailbox at the door of his house to pick up the books.

The brand new "Mystery in the World" came into his hands.

He returned to the study, picked up the book seriously and began to read, his eyes changed from anger to surprise following the content of the novel, and then deeply engrossed in it.

So lovely.

We have found new friends! ! !

In the United States, Edgar Allan Poe, who had a wide network of connections and was never short of money but was alone, became excited and completely forgot how much he looked down on Japanese detectives just now.He frantically picked up his cell phone, his hands trembling, not knowing how to leave a message for Edogawa Ranpo, and after hesitating for a while, he wrote his post-reading impressions on his private Twitter with few fans.

"@江DO川迷布, good to see, it is written for people like me, I can understand it! I am not an idiot!"

He doesn't have Aite anyone, but several fans who follow him have seen it.

In the United Kingdom, a British gentleman who was once a reader of Edgar Allan Poe sat in the yard, drinking afternoon tea, and occasionally clicked on the list of people he followed to check the content.

He first glanced at the "unnaturally agitated" American detective.

Secondly, he looked at his own lady in Aite. That lady had an arrogant personality, and her relationship with him was ups and downs. A smart person's idea, he clicked on the other party's twitter.

"Where are the British detectives? Come out! Read the novels I recommend!"

The lady with a head portrait of a cup of black tea spoke excitedly, and Aite touched all her acquaintances, just like a fan of mystery novels saw a rare and good work in the wasteland.

At the same time, she is also a reader fan of Yusaku Kudo, and she has quietly followed Yusaku Kudo.

Unfortunately, the next flash tweet is murderous.

"Kill him."

The English gentleman was speechless.

The British gentleman said to himself: "The servants of the clock tower should really take a look, your knight commander is not a lady in private."

He made calls on his mobile phone and asked his servants to buy novels for him.

this afternoon.

Twitter, whose nickname is "reasoning enthusiasts in an idle state," sent a message.

"Well, it's pretty good, ma'am, if you kill it, there will be no novels."

In an instant, the other party sent a reply.

"you write."

"No, I refuse, even if I'm not busy, I just want to read novels."

"Who is the real murderer of the novel?"

"Ma'am, spoilers are no fun."

The English gentleman choked on the other with a grin, amused by his rough guess.

In the end, he got such an appetizing end that he got a call from an impatient lady. Agatha Christie contacted the transcendent who was about to grow grass in his country, and said simply and neatly: "Arthur Conan Doyle , you wait for me, I will come to find you right away!"

The three bigwigs in the world of mystery novels in the three-dimensional dimension were blown out by this wave of declaration of war!

In addition to them, there are more people in Britain and the United States who are looking forward to it.

Let's solve the puzzle!

Come and fight back!

Come more reasoning masters to write novels! ! !

Where are the detectives of our country? ! !

In Japan, Ranpo Edogawa, who was binge-twittering at home, laughed, leaned back in his chair, rubbed his sore fingers, and raised his nose higher than the sky.

"All idiots! Let me dominate your mystery novel world!"

"Master Ranpo is number one in the world!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also took Jin Jila to pass by Ranbu's study, and heard the devilish laughter that could not be concealed through the door, squinted his eyes, and sighed: "I'm going to make him arrogant again."

The world of mystery novels is too bad, at least some people like Mr. Lan Tang come here.

It's a pity that poets and writers are not professionally matched.
