After reading it for 3 hours, she closed the book and felt admiration in her heart.

Sure enough, it is true. In this book, the murderer used visual errors to make the victim and others think that the two dead people were in the same place, but in fact one person died at the second scene.And what the murderer really wanted to kill was the second person who died.

As for the first person, it was just to put the blame on another person to cover up his purpose.

This "Spiral Staircase", the murder method is unexpected, and contains rich ingenuity, it seems that it can be classified as a new book.

In this case, can you just vote for it without reading the other two books...

Anyway, I am also a member of Xinbenge.

She lowered her head, lost in thought.

At this time, Vice President Kawai Shinta knocked on the table, which caught her attention.

"Teachers, the review in the morning has come to an end. Let's go to eat first. The dining place is downstairs. We hired a master from the "Bamboo Stone" kiosk in Kyoto to make dishes for you."

Hearing these words, Morioka Yuho put down his thoughts and decided to go to have lunch first, take a rest and take a look.

……

At 12:[-] noon, Mystery Writers Association, guest lounge.

"Mr. Morioka, do you think the newcomer award should be awarded to that work?"

Morioka Yuho was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard a deep male voice.

She opened her eyes, looked up, and found that it was another judge, the writer Takaoka Haruhito.

This kind of topic is not suitable for public discussion, is it?

She was a little surprised, then looked around, and found that there were no other writers besides herself and Takaoka Haruto, and only one staff member stood at the far gate.

According to that distance, it is estimated that the speech of the two of them is not very clear.

It seems that there is no problem.

Yuho Morioka thought for a while, then lowered his voice and asked, "Takaoka-sensei, what do you think?"

Takaoka Haruto shook his head, and then sat next to Morioka Yuho, "In my opinion, as long as the trick design is reasonable and wonderful, no matter what work it is."

Hearing this explanation, Morioka Yuho laughed a little.

You might as well say that you want to win awards for the works of Bengepai.

The suspense school pays attention to the suspense of puzzles, the cruel school pays attention to the expression of actions and social observation, and the social school focuses on human nature.

Therefore, only the Benge faction and the new Benge will take a fancy to whether the tricks are wonderful and reasonable,

She didn't want to be too lazy, so she replied directly: "Teacher Gao Gang, there is no one else here, so you don't have to be a fool."

Takaoka Haruto smiled and replied: "In short, I will not vote for the work "The Third Man Behind"."

Morioka Yuho nodded. The name of this work sounds like a work of the suspense school, and there must be nothing special about the trick design.

But she was still curious about the contents, so she asked, "Have you read this work this morning?"

Takaoka Haruto replied: "Well, this work is relatively short, I finished it in the morning, and I will probably describe it to Mr. Morioka."

Then, he began to describe, and Morioka Yuho also learned the background of the story in his description.

"The Third Person Behind" is about a series of very bizarre murders of young girls in a small city, and after they are killed, their bodies are often put in strange poses, so to speak. Extremely tragic.

The police then started an investigation, but they found that these murdered girls had different interpersonal relationships and had no communication in life.At this moment, the detective who was also chasing this case found a key clue...

Hearing all this, Morioka Yuho suddenly became interested, "What is the final purpose and method of the murderer?"

Takaoka Haruko shrugged and explained: "The motive is not well designed. It is purely because of emotional disputes. The murderer killed the cheating ex-girlfriend and buried her body. In order to prevent himself from being targeted by the police, the murderer concocted a A series of serial murders, and specifically killed women who were rumored to have cheated."

"Does the tree hide in the forest?"

Morioka Yuho shook her head, she felt that the story was not designed well enough.

If it was written by her, it should be the murderer who used the opportunity of the serial murder to cover up the truth of his murder, and finally pointed to the two murderers.

Takaoka Haruko waved his hand, "So this work combines some features of the suspense school and the social school, and may be able to get these two votes. As for the cruel school, it may also be possible to vote."

He paused, and then said in a firm tone: "Mr. Morioka, so I think we should gather the 2 votes in our hands together to prevent the honor of this reasoning literature newcomer award from being taken away by works other than Bengepai .”

Morioka Yuho was silent for a while, falling into hesitation.

After a while, she said to herself: "If there is no accident, I will recommend the "Spiral Staircase". I think the tricks in it are very well designed."

"Huh?" Takaoka Haruto asked in confusion.

"Any questions?"

"Mr. Morioka, haven't you read the work "Death by Wrongdoing?" Takaoka Haruto asked back.

Yuho Morioka shook her head. She likes to read slowly, so she is much slower than other writers.

Haruko Takaoka thought for a while, and said, "Well, let's make this decision after you read this work, Mr. Morioka. After all, there is still a certain amount of time for voting."

Morioka Yuho thought about it, and thought it was the same, so he agreed.

But what is so wonderful about this work, can it be worthy of Takaoka Haruto's recognition, and even deny the "Spiral Staircase" that she thinks is very good?

She was full of doubts.

[Chapter 139.138 "Death by Negligence" (two in one)]

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Morioka Yuho returned to the office of the judging committee for the Newcomer Award for Mystery Literature together with many other writers.

This time, after sitting in her seat, she directly opened the book "Death by Wrongdoing" recommended by Haruko Takaoka.

She wants to take a good look this time, what is so exciting about this story, and even make the other party think it is worth recommending.

She opened the work and began to read it, but when she looked at it, she found that she couldn't move her eyes.

……
