After rebirth, I became a great writer

Chapter 342 Wait for me to change my battle robe!

The hotel room was silent, with only heavy breathing sounds overlapping back and forth. The documents on the computer screen stopped on the last page. Everyone stared at Poirot's words. They didn't know how to describe their mood at this moment.

When I first watched "The Murder of Orient Express", I felt that the characters, foreshadowing and hidden lines portrayed in the first part were quite in place, and I felt very expectant.

When looking at the second part, it was to sort out clues and make you dizzy. Each had their own predictions and had a set of arguments. After arguing, there was no such thing as a result.

As for the third part, it is a reversal with a reversal, and finally an ending that no one expected.

First there was a king bomb. Except for Poirot, director and doctor, no one in the car was innocent, all of them were murderers involved in the murder case. Then, with Poirot's analysis, there was no real murderer.

.

Is the planner? No, she didn't kill anyone.

Are there twelve passengers? It’s not like changing the concept. Who knows which kills the merchant?

And their motive for murder is revenge and justice, which leads to the addition of three words to their identity, "victim".

It is true that everyone has committed a crime. After all, no one can surpass the law. But the problem is that the law is not sound, otherwise why can businessmen escape sanctions?

And what should the law do when a group of people kill a sinner with a heinous sin for the purpose of good intentions and justice?

Should they be sentenced and punished according to the process, or turned a blind eye?

According to normal procedures, sentences are required, after all, the law is always greater than favors!

Not to mention the era when the laws were not sound, even in today's society, there are fewer things that law is greater than emotion?

But in the story, Detective Poirot used the second conclusion to suggest that as long as one person comes out to take responsibility, others can be given a lighter punishment, which is a bit of a waste of money.

Of course, Jin Zhongrui and the others can understand it. As for the case itself, the businessman as the victim will not arouse sympathy, and the murderer will not make people hate him.

At this point, Chen Tianhong's words "yes or not" were also explained. It is true that he is the murderer, but he is also the victim.

However, they thought they had seen the first floor, predicted the second floor, and understood the third floor, but Chen Tianhong had to be one step higher.

What Poirot wants is not simply letting go of water. He doesn't even want to punish anyone. He believes that what the "murderer" needs most is not punishment, but liberation, and liberation from that sad tragedy and thus to rebirth.

That's why he first made the first conclusion and fabricated a false foreign "murderer", because Poirot himself knew that there was no absolute justice in the world.

Between human nature and law, he finally followed his original intention and chose human nature. This was followed by a more unexpected ending after the major reversal of deciphering. Who would have thought that the protagonist would let go of the "murderer"!

Because of this, the character Poirot has become more flesh and blood. A detective may only make readers praise his ability to solve cases, but a humane detective will definitely be sought after.

"Xiao Ye, what do you think?"

After a long silence, Jin Zhongrui asked Ye Feng about his thoughts, the current number one detective writer in China.

"In the past, many people praised Hongwen as a creative writer. Almost all his works were creating genres and shaping patterns that were different from tradition. I still had doubts about this, but now I believe it."

"Haha, just this article "Oriental Express Murder Case", there was "Everyone is suspected, but each has impossible perjury", and then it created the model of "all the murderers are victims", and finally it was updated.

It was a shocking surprise. Mr. Jin, I think it was really ashamed to compare with him, the title of genius who was crowned on me before."

Ye Feng spoke and turned on the self-deprecating mode.

His trip to London this time was full of twists and turns, from the surprise of seeing Hongwen and the relief of telling the things in his heart, to the small disappointment after listening to "The Lost Weapon", and then to the shock now, and even the birth of the whole world

Sheng Yu He Shengliang's feelings and a little sourness.

Fortunately, Ye Feng is not a petty person, so he wanted to completely melt after he made fun of himself.

"Old Jin, I finally understand why the background of the story is in that era, and why are the characters in it all Westerners. With this ending, if the background is in our country, I will be interviewed for tea."

"Haha, Hongwen is still smart! But I think everyone is a little shallow. You don't feel that the theme of this novel is to discuss. How to weigh the trade-offs between human nature and law? This is within our detective circle

The topic that has been going on forever, hehe, it’s obvious that Hongwen is on the side of the party of reason.”

"I don't agree! Although Poirot seems to have made a choice in the ending of the novel, he actually gave only two conclusions, at most he was an accomplice. And from the words in the book, we can know that his attitude is actually very firm.

, the twelve passengers set up private courts, which seemed to be judged but actually murdered, and even strongly resisted."

"You can't say that, yes, at the beginning, Poirot insisted on legal justice, but after knowing the truth and knowing that he could not achieve complete justice, he chose to compromise. Good and evil were the root cause.

It is just being with you. I don’t think there is any problem with choosing to let go of the good of sin for the sake of reason.”

As we chatted, several detective writers began to argue.

Whether in detective novels or in real life, justice and reason have always been the unity of contradictions. If this topic really needs to be debated, no one can give a statement that both of them can convince them.

"Okay, don't worry about legal justice and moral reason anymore. Let's only talk about this novel now. I plan to recommend it at the exchange meeting. Then see what that old guy Pearson has to say. I'm waiting.

He said "o my god!" and looked at his surprised old face."

"Well, I may not be able to win this year's Ellen Master Award. If that's the case, my life will be perfect!"

Kim Jung-rui spoke to stop everyone's argument, then expressed his plans, and finally had a small fantasy.

Everyone has no objection to his first sentence, because from which perspective, "The Murder of the Orient Express" can be regarded as a masterpiece, but I don't agree with the second sentence.

It is true that Hongwen wrote a good novel, but it is a bit of a matter of course to say that he won the Ellen Master Award. As far as they know, several very good detective novels have been published abroad this year, with the same wonderful plot and profound theme.

"The Murder of the Orient Express" is different from "The Three-Body Problem". You should know that "The Three-Body Problem" won the Golden Pill Award for a long time, and there are many heavyweights who express their preferences, such as American President Bass

Profit is the representative.

It is considered a novel that is enough to be a god. When the author just wrote it, it actually caused the surprise and discussion of Ye Feng and others at most. It takes time to immediately win the industry's highest award and win the recognition of readers.

The reason why classic novels are called classics is that their quality and luck are indispensable. To put it bluntly, the times create classics. If we put it in the real era of "pilot kidnapping", "Oriental Express Murder" will be without any suspense.

Win the Ellen Master Award directly

However, it still takes time, or like "The Three-Body Problem", some more influential figures need to help promote it.

Anyway, just a few people in the room are far from reaching the influence of "big figures". They are very famous in China, but they are very reluctant abroad, including Chen Tianhong, who can only be considered a little famous.

"Old Mr. Jin! There is no problem with the key recommendations. Anyway, after reading this novel, I will not take out my work at the afternoon exchange meeting."

Lu Huaiyi explained to himself, let alone let him take the work, when he thought of Chen Tianhong's "sarcastic" words yesterday, his intestines were almost regretful. If it weren't for the exchange, he would have to go, he would have booked a ticket directly to return to China.

It's right.

It's so embarrassing! I was still mocking me yesterday, but today I have to praise me. Lu Huaiyi can't be so shameless.

"Yes, Lao Lu is right. Putting it with "The Murder of the Orient Express" makes my work seem very low-level, so I don't embarrass you."

"It makes sense, I'll give up!"

"Since that's the case, I'll follow you."

Lu Huaiyi's words inadvertently reminded them and began to make choices one after another. Anyway, when communicating works on the plane, I almost knew who prepared the works better. It was a foil, so I didn't feel anything lost.

In the end, only Ye Feng and another detective writer chose to continue participating in the exchange of works.

Jin Zhongrui didn't say anything about everyone's choice. In principle, the detective writers present can communicate with their works. However, communication is just communication. Whether they will be selected in the final comment is the key point.

The international detective writer exchange meeting once a year. The general process is to conduct a communication meeting on the theme of detectives, suspense, and mystery novels in the auditorium, discuss excellent detective novels in recent years, discuss the subsequent development direction of detective novels, exchange writing experiences, etc.

wait.

This time took a long time. Before that, the Detective Association specially collected new works by detective writers, and selected a few outstanding ones from them, and finally commented at the exchange meeting.

This comment is very important, which is equivalent to helping promote it for free in the circle. Moreover, it is present in the news media, which can enhance the writer's popularity and influence.

However, there are also hidden rules for selection. In addition to the quality of the work itself, connections are also very important. Unless particularly excellent works appear, the works of Western writers are generally reviewed.

For example, last year, Ye Feng and the others also came to participate, but they participated in it in a lonely manner. No one's works were selected.

It cannot be said that the Detective Association has completely worn tinted glasses. The works prepared by Ye Feng and others last year are at most inferior to Western detective writers, and are at a natural disadvantage.

Jin Zhongrui came this time mainly to stand up for Ye Feng and the others. Although he has closed his pen, his connections are still there. Pearson, the current president of the Detective International Association, has a good relationship with him.

He personally attended the recommendation of works, and no matter what, the Detective Association also gave some thin-faced works. However, he had thought of recommending Ye Feng's works before, but now he has become Chen Tianhong.

"Gululugululugululu!"

During the conversation, inappropriate voices sounded one after another, and their stomachs protested.

"Yaah, I almost forgot! Everyone hasn't had lunch yet, let's go to the restaurant!"

Jin Zhongrui slapped his forehead and finally remembered the meal.

After they hurried to the hotel restaurant, they suddenly found that Chen Tianhong was still eating in an orderly manner. His eating style was quite elegant, but it had been more than an hour. The young people's appetite was indeed unique.

In fact, Chen Tianhong didn't eat much. The reason why he ate so slowly was because he was afraid that he would be caught by Jin Zhongrui and the others when he went up and asked questions.

However, there is no need to worry now, because they must have finished reading it for so long, so there is no need to interpret it in detail.

"Tianhong, that's about it! Stop eating, there's a big meal waiting for that evening!"

Jin Zhongrui came to Chen Tianhong's dining table and said with a smile.

He ordered the fastest food, after all, he didn't eat much, so he ordered less.

"Big meal? What kind of meal?"

When Chen Tianhong asked, he was still chewing food in his mouth, and he was only 70% full at this time.

"It is after the exchange meeting, the International Detective Association will arrange an authentic British dinner, which is much better than what we eat now."

Ye Feng also sat over.

“Authentic British Dinner”

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianhong silently put down the knife and fork in his hand.

This is definitely not because of the dinner. He is not so unreliable, but because he is the best to eat until he is 70% full.

"Hongwen, I have to apologize to you, I underestimate you."

At this time, Lu Huai came over with a tray and said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't think it's very rigorous when I read the article "The Lost Weapon" myself."

Chen Tianhong waved his hand indifferently, and without Lu Huai finished speaking, he understood what he wanted to express.

What a big deal! It's just a few words, it's normal for human nature.

"Hehe, thank you then! Hongwen, I have a question. We all see that "Oriental Express Murder" is not just a case of reasoning murder. You want to explore how to choose between moral justice and legal justice.

Are you on the side of morality, reason or legal justice?"

Lu Huaiyi still couldn't help but ask for the argument they hadn't finished discussing just now.

His words made several more people on the dining table, and everyone looked at Chen Tianhong with anticipation. Jin Zhongrui was also curious because he belonged to the moral and reasonable side.

"Of course it's human. Well, that's a problem."

Chen Tianhong was about to express his position when he opened his mouth, but as soon as he said half of the sentence, he realized something was wrong. This is a pit!

No matter which side you stand on, you will be entangled by the other side. The best way is to mix with others and not easily express your attitude.

"I want to answer this question with subsequent works."

Everyone was stunned. What? Successive works? Have new inspiration?

Everyone suddenly became interested.

"Tianhong, come and tell me what you think"

"Hongwen, talk"

"Ahem. Well, Old Jin, Brother Ye, you guys eat first, I suddenly remembered something else."

"What's the matter? We're going to the Detective Association soon!"

"Well, because I'm going, I'm going to change my clothes again! Change my clothes that can show our Chinese image."

In one sentence, it is about to make a brilliant debut again, and I will change my battle suit!
