Chapter 1
After watching the first few scenes, Jiang Qi roughly understood why Liu Lan said she couldn't understand it.
This book is literally a murder script guide.
Can you imagine what would happen when a series of common poisons found in mystery books, such as arsenic, naphthalene, methanol, boric acid, cyanide, datura, turpentine, bromide, veronal, atropine, strychnine, ethanol, ether, formalin, lead, mercury, potassium permanganate, hemlock, chloroform, lily of the valley, etc., are gathered together?
People will die.
Although this is a mystery book, the character introduction and background in the first act are very long, taking up seven or eight pages.
Take the character with high money that Jiang Qi first saw as an example. This person is the owner of a script-killing store.
The scale of the store is very large. If compared with the real world, it should be of the same scale. As the owner of a script-killing store, Gao Qian’s greatest pleasure on weekdays is playing the script.
Play with reasoning books, all kinds of reasoning books.
In this world of scripts, script-killing is a national entertainment activity. The player base is very large, the number of scripts is also very large, and the major publishers and authors are extremely profitable, with each person making the most money.
In such a context, a well-known script-killing author is undoubtedly the object of pursuit by all well-known script-killing store owners, and the fame of top authors is even no less than that of celebrities.
Mr. X, the script-killing writer, is the top among the top authors.
Mr. X has been in the industry for 5 years and has written 39 mystery books in total. All of his 39 mystery books have logical plots, and his output is so high and the quality is so high that it is jaw-dropping. Over the years, some people have suspected that there is a professional ghostwriting team behind him, otherwise, producing 39 mystery books in 5 years is too amazing.
The X Detective Script Reasoning Agency run by Mr. X is the most well-known script-killing store in China and a check-in destination for countless script lovers.
Whenever Mr. X published a new book, the industry would be in turmoil. Since Mr. X only published books in certain cities, stores in major cities would fight for his books when he published them. Every day, people hoped that this genius mystery writer would publish new books as soon as possible.
Mr. X seems to have been having some writer's block recently, as he hasn't published a new book for three whole months.
This is a very serious writer's block for Mr. X, who has produced 39 mystery books in five years.
In order to solve the problem of card, Mr. X held a script-killing reasoning competition to find inspiration for his upcoming new work "Kill the Script-Killing Shop Owner".
The winner of this reasoning contest will receive a lifetime free trial voucher for the X Detective Script Mystery Museum. If the script-killing store wins the competition, they can also get all the scripts produced by Mr. X for free for life.
Since "Kill the Script Killing Shop Owner" is a 5-person game, the reasoning competition will select 5 outstanding contestants to go to Mr. X's mysterious residence to participate in the finals.
What is surprising is that the five contestants who finally participated in the finals are all owners of script-killing stores, and like Gao Qian, they are all owners of well-known script-killing stores.
The other four finalists are: You Xi, Zun Ji, Chen Shi, and Bao Fu. All five are mystery book enthusiasts and avid fans of Mr. X.
Of course these are just superficial stories.
Jiang Qi, who has read all the character scripts, said that the owners of these five script-killing stores are all villains and have their own ulterior motives.
Although he hadn't seen the person who died in the back and didn't know whether it was Mr. X, it was most likely him. With these five finalists in the reasoning contest, Jiang Qi could only say that Mr. X's death was not a bad thing.
These five people are all very qualified businessmen and capitalists. Some of them really like the script-killing industry, while others just join the industry for money.
In fact, when watching the first scene, it is easy to find an extremely unreasonable place -
Mr. X writes too fast.
I wrote 39 mystery books in 5 years, an average of one book a month and a half. Even if you copy, you can't copy so fast. Even if you learn from and integrate to achieve cultural unity, it will take time to integrate. This speed is really a bit outrageous.
It is for this reason that many people think that there must be a popular team behind Mr. X, and finding this popular team is equivalent to finding the code to wealth.
Mr. X has always been a mysterious person who rarely goes out. It has been rumored in the underworld that his team of assassins is kept in the villa where he lives.
The five high-income people are not here to compete, they are here to find the code to wealth.
Among these five people, only Gao Qian and Bao Fu made it to the finals by their own ability, and the remaining three either hired gunmen to help them participate in the competition or directly paid money to get through. Among them, Zun Ji was the most exaggerated. He was a complete layman. He was mixed up in gangs only a few months after entering the industry and knew nothing about reasoning.
Jiang Qi just shook his head and said, "Three of the five finalists are fakes. Mr. X's competition is really not rigorous."
The cavalrymen are staring at the small flying insects hovering outside the window, ready to kill the invaders at any time:?
Small flies flew in.
With a flash of sword light, the small flying insect was forced to split apart.
Jiang Qi also turned to the next page.
"On November 11, you came to Mr. X's villa with his invitation letter."
A white light flashed, and Jiang Qi entered his memory.
.
"Mr. Gao, please follow me. I am Mr. X's personal butler. You can just call me Butler Zhuang."
When Jiang Qi came to his senses, he did not appear at the door of the villa, but had already entered the villa.
As a top-tier author, Mr. X's villa is certainly not an ordinary villa. There is a large and exquisite garden outside the villa. From the outside, the whole villa looks like a manor, which is very suitable for murder.
Gao Qian, dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a successful man, followed the butler.
"Butler Zhuang, when will the finals start? The invitation letter only informed me of the time and place to come here, but did not inform me of the specific details." Gao Qian asked.
Butler Zhuang had a polite smile on his face: "Mr. Gao, the game has begun."
Gao Qian:?
"You'll know the details when you get to your room."
"Have you got the other contestants?"
"Not yet. You are the first one."
"Can I meet Mr. X during the competition? I have always admired him. I have played all his works. I have also visited Detective X Script Club. I opened the script shop just for Mr. X. I am really looking forward to meeting him!" Gao Qian had the expression of a fanatical fan.
Jiang Qi: ...
If pages 6, 7 and 8 of your character book had not contained information you had heard about Mr. X's residence, the team of gunmen behind him, and how you planned to find this team of gunmen and use them for your own purposes, and then kill Mr. X to silence him, I would have believed your lies.
The butler led Gao Qian into the villa: "You can see Mr. X at any time. He will stay in his room except for meal times during the entire competition. You can see him as long as you make an appointment in advance. This is your benefit as a finalist."
"Really? That's great!" Gao Qian looked pleasantly surprised and asked calmly, "Does Mr. X like to stay in his room?"
"Mr. X will stay in his room whenever he is writing." The housekeeper said, leading Gao Qian through the first floor hall and pointing to the front. "In front is the dining room. The competition will last for a day and a night. Breakfast is served from 6:00 to 8:00 in the morning, lunch from 11:30 to 1:00 in the afternoon, and dinner from 5 to 7 in the afternoon. You can come to the restaurant for dinner at any time."
"Of course, if you are not used to eating in the restaurant, you can also inform me and I will deliver the meal to your room."
After introducing the restaurant, the butler led Gao Qian upstairs to the end of the second floor.
"This is your room. The game begins the moment you step into the manor."
"The specific rules are on the desk in your room. There is a map of the entire villa on the desk, and the key to the simulation room is in the jar on the desk. It doesn't matter if you lose it, I have a spare key here."
"Here is your room key, please keep it safe. Have a good game." After saying that, the butler smiled and left without even entering the room.
Gao Qian looked at the door and went in.
The room is not particularly big, it is a standard guest room, and its decoration style is very similar to the business suite of a star hotel.
Gao Qian walked to the desk and found a character book on it.
A simple character book printed on A4 paper and bound, with Gao Qian printed on the cover.
Gao Qian opened it and saw it clearly written on the first page.
'Your name is Gao Qian, and you are the owner of Chengxin Script House.
You participated in the script-killing reasoning competition organized by the well-known scriptwriter Mr. X, and successfully made it into the top 5 and entered the final.
On November 11, you were the first to arrive at the villa where Mr. X lived according to the address and time written on the invitation letter.
You were led by the housekeeper to the room prepared for you by Mr. X on the second floor of the villa. On the desk in the room was the topic for your final exam.'
"Good guy." Jiang Qi couldn't help but sigh as he watched from the side. Even though no one could hear him, he just wanted to say it.
"Mr. X really knows how to have fun."
"I am reading a script-killing script in a script-killing script world."
"I'm playing with nesting dolls here."
