Chapter 215： It’s time to stay on the fourth line all night

Chapter 215 It’s time to stay on the fourth front

 In fact, the plot of "Malicious" is not complicated.

The novel is told in the form of notes, starting from the perspectives of novelist Osamu Nonoguchi and police officer Kaga Kyouichiro respectively. It tells the story of the accidental death of writer Hidaka Kunihiko the night before going abroad.

 The police officer responsible for investigating the case is named Kyouichiro Kaga.

The police officer gradually determined that Osamu Nonoguchi was the murderer during the investigation.

Nonoguchi Osamu admitted that he was the murderer, but was still unwilling to explain his motive for the crime.

  then.

　　Kaga finally discovered Nonoguchi Osamu’s difficulties during the investigation process——

It turns out that Osamu Nonoguchi had an affair with Hidaka's first wife Hatsumi, who died in a car accident. Hidaka caught the evidence and was forced to be Hidaka's shadow writer for seven years.

That means:

Hidaka, a so-called famous novelist, has actually been looking for a ghostwriter, and this ghostwriter is Osamu Nonoguchi.

  In other words.

 The murderer Osamu Nonoguchi is the real victim.

  He was unwilling to tell the truth to protect Hatsumi's reputation.

 The editor-in-chief of the mystery department of Nason Publishing House commented that "Malice" is a second-rate mystery novel after seeing this.

 In fact.

If you don’t look at the subsequent plot twist, "Malevolence" really won't be that exciting.

However.

most of the time.

 People are easily misled by preconceived psychological effects.

 The story begins with Osamu Nonoguchi telling the story about Hidaka during his lifetime.

 In order to successfully rent out the house, Rigao killed the neighbor's cat, thus giving readers a preconceived picture of Rigao's cruel side.

And after Nonoguchi’s murder was discovered by the police, the motive for the murder was revealed—

Nonoguchi once had a private meeting with Hidaka's ex-wife, Hatsumi, which was discovered and recorded by Hidaka. In order to protect Hatsumi, Nonoguchi was forced to be Hidaka's shadow writer for seven years. Most of Hidaka's published books today are written by Nonoguchi. made.

 The hypocritical and terrible image of Hidaka Kunihiko was thus created.

  Readers have their own understanding of the characters after preconceptions.

But the last paragraph.

 The perspective of the story suddenly shifts from Nonoguchi’s notes to Kaga’s case records:

 In fact, Nonoguchi’s diary was deliberately written for the police to see!

 The criminal certificate left behind was also forged before!

 It is false that he has an affair with Hatsumi!

 The books published by Hidaka were not written by Nonoguchi!

 Even the cat was not killed by Rigao!

 Nonoguchi lied from beginning to end!

Because Nonoguchi Osamu’s diary is full of warmth and touching, Nonoguchi successfully deceived the police in the early stage.

 The author also deceived the readers.

"The novel was originally written in the first person, that is, the case was described based on the life of the protagonist Osamu Nonoguchi. But if it hadn't been switched to the police officer's perspective at the end, who would have thought that 'I' in the story was actually talking about a person? Big lie!"

 The deputy editor-in-chief of Nason Publishing House was a little excited.

　　It has nothing to do with the publisher camp. This is an editor who has studied mystery novels for many years, and he surrenders to the creative talent of Hou Yehou!

beside.

The mystery editor who was flipping through the final plot also looked a little dazed and murmured:

"Yeah, who would have thought that I would be lying all the time in the story? No Yehou adopts a flip-flop writing method, and at the end, he gives a completely subversive description of the characters of Osamu Nonoguchi and Hidaka..."

 In fact, Rigao is an upright, kind and even a great writer.

Shumi Nonoguchi is a guy who tells lies and has malicious intentions. He is indeed the murderer, but the motives for the murder are all made up. This is the origin of the title of the book. The reason why he killed Hidaka is very simple, out of malice!

 The malice of human nature!

You must know that Nonoguchi and Hidaka have known each other for a long time.

The two have been involved in each other since they were in middle school.

Nonoguchi succumbed to school violence and joined other delinquents in bullying others.

But the upright and kind-hearted Rigao never gave in, but instead worked hard to fight against school violence.

The two people also dreamed of writing, but the gap became more obvious after they reached adulthood. Hidaka became a famous and excellent writer, but Nonoguchi's works were always difficult to publish.

 It’s not just a gap in capabilities.

  It is also the difference between people.

The flame of jealousy burned Nonoguchi's heart, so that after brutally murdering Hidaka, he only pretended to cover up his crime, but in fact secretly provided clues to the police, misleading the police step by step, because the person Nonoguchi wanted to kill was never It's not just Hidaka.

 It’s Rigao’s personality and reputation!

 Because I was suffering from cancer and was about to die, I couldn't tolerate Rigao's glamorous life, so I tried my best to destroy Rigao. This maliciousness is really frightening!

 “We don’t want to know this!”

The leaders of Nason Publishing House became more and more irritated as they listened. “We just want to know, is this novel going to be a hit?”

"certain."

 The reasoning editor and deputy editor looked at each other, then nodded affirmatively.

 Some of the top leaders of Nason Publishing House wiped their eyes, while others patted their heads, looking annoyed and helpless.

　　Why did such a good money-making machine go to Shinhwa Publishing House?

 …

 The judgment of professionals is generally not much different. "Malevolence" is indeed a hit, and it sold very well on the first day.

 The sales were even better the next day.

 Because of the reputation of the academy.

"This is the first time I read Yehou's novel. I have only seen his TV series before. I didn't expect that Yehou's novels are more exciting than the TV series. The twist at the end made me say FUCK!"    "The ending is really awesome. Got it!"

“I don’t want to spoil anything, but I recommend that all mystery lovers must read this book. The writing style of Hou Yehou is amazing!”

 “This is the novel with the highest technical content by Bu Yehou!”

“This book gave me a darker feeling. The malicious killing was not the most stimulating to me. What irritated me the most was the shocking twist at the end!”

 “Maliciousness without reason is the greatest malice!”

“The scariest mystery novel I have ever read. There are no thrilling plots or cruel methods of committing crimes. The most chilling thing down the spine is actually the human heart!”

“The way to destroy a person is not to end his life, but to completely destroy his reputation and future.”

“The angle of the group interview at the end of the novel is really hot. From everyone’s mouth, I heard two people, Nonoguchi and Hidaka, who are completely opposite to the previous readers’ perceptions!”

 “He never thought that such evil could exist in this world!”

 Many passerby readers actually consider whether to purchase some works based on their reputation.

 Now the word of mouth is out.

 It can be said that "Malevolence" has received rave reviews.

Now everyone no longer hesitated and donated generously.

 …

the other side.

 Professional book reviews are also out.

"To completely destroy a person is to ruin his reputation. Only after reading "Malevolence" can one truly know the Lord of the Night."

 —"Qinzhou Literature"

“Compared with the dazzling status of screenwriter, we have almost forgotten what an excellent writer Bu Yehou is. Fortunately, the book "Malice" has made the label of writer on Bu Yehou shine brightly."

 —"The Voice of Literature"

"The rhythm is weird, the reading experience is not good, the text is cumbersome, and the three turns are amazing, but if you feel the thickness of the book in your hand, you will know that things are not as simple as they appear. Use school violence to explain the original sinfulness of people. , although it makes sense logically, but from a deep perspective, it is really avoiding the important and taking the easy way out, and using tricks to succeed is smart but not clever."

　　—《Nathan Newspaper》

"The innovative writing technique at the end of Hou Ye Hou's new book "Malevolence" is named narrative trick. It uses perspective switching to confuse the readers, and finally achieves a stunning reversal effect. The five words "narrative trick" are very appropriate. !”

 —"Mythology Newspaper"

"Bu Yehou is not good at reasoning, he is only good at writing about human nature, so Bu Yehou is undoubtedly a first-rate writer, but if it is limited to the field of reasoning, he can only be regarded as a second-rate writer."

 —"The Reasoning Society"

 Most of the media and newspapers gave positive reviews.

Among them, the ones who don’t speak nicely are basically Nathan media.

 Of course this is a normal thing, after all, Evernight has broken up with Nathan Publishing House.

Lin Zhibai hired a female secretary at Shinhwa Publishing House and asked her to collect and read all the media's evaluations of "Malevolence".

 After reading it, Lin Zhibai smiled.

 It is estimated that the sales target of 10 million for this book is stable.

 …

 Just as Lin Zhibai expected.

  In the next few days, Shinhwa Publishing House continued to receive calls from major booksellers requesting replenishment.

The greater the commercial value Bu Yehou brings to Shinhwa Publishing House, the higher the reputation of Lin Zhibai, the new president.

 The third day after the novel was released.

Some people have noticed that on the Qinzhou star rating list, Hou Yehou has officially entered the fourth-tier ranking!

at the same time.

The number of fans following Bu Yehou on the Jiguang platform also exceeds 10 million.

 The comment section was very lively.

 “It’s the fourth level, so cool!”

“The number of fans has exceeded 10 million!”

“Congratulations! During Chu Ci’s live broadcast, he said that Kunpeng was at c. No matter how I looked at it, it was Master Wu Yehou who was at c!”

 “King’s Landing: What about me?”

 “Hahaha, Chu Ci is so inferior!”

“Biyehou has been very popular recently. Before, the whole Internet was discussing his **** drama, and now it’s all about “Malevolence”.”

“The novel is not that big, but the **** drama is still more popular in terms of discussion.”

"That's true, but to put it bluntly, "Malevolence" really crushed that **** drama. When it comes to seriousness, Hou Yehou is really scary!"

 “Write more novels! Don’t just write scripts!”

Lin Zhibai’s three vests.

Chu Ci and Bai Di have entered the fourth line.

Now Evernight has finally entered the fourth line sequence.

Lin Zhibai's eyes flashed with anticipation, it seemed that it was time to arrange these three vests to attack the third line.

This time, let’s let Evernight do the work first. Lin Zhibai plans to write a few more novels to fully activate the Evernight-branded money printing machine!

Thinking of this.

Lin Zhibai called up the system and started customizing a new book.

 “Ding dong.”

 The new book alert sounded.

 “Congratulations to the host for getting the novel "Tomb Raider Notes"!"
