The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

So much for the history of A Study in Green Letters.

Since the book was published in England almost a century ago, and few people in Japan know about it today, the innkeeper appropriated the article and published it at his own expense.

As a result, he was killed. It can be seen that not only the content of this article is full of weirdness and evil, but even the article itself is also ominous.

Before exiting the search page, Qin Zhibo learned a little more about the Noah's Ark website.

This knowledge website collects and organizes various knowledge on the Internet, and updates tens of thousands of knowledge entries every day.

In this era before online encyclopedias appeared, this website was very practical.

Ding~

Qin Zhibo silently added Noah's Ark website to his favorites

If you have the opportunity, you can contact the person who created this website and ask him if he needs angel investment.

With the perspective of predicting the future, Qin Zhibo feels that this will be a very profitable project.

I, Qin Zhibo, voted for this project!

Another three days passed in silence.

During these three days, Qin Zhibo would write a novel every day in his spare time at work.

Writing novels was influenced by the publication of "A Study of Green Letters" by an innkeeper, and the idea of ​​writing novels of my own was born.

Who doesn’t love a great writer?

In fact, writing a novel is nothing more than two points: "What to write?" and "How to write?".

The first thing is what to write.

Generally, when people travel to another world, they will choose some best-selling books from later generations or parallel worlds to copy.

But Qin Zhibo did a little research and found that it was now 1996. Some classic works passed down by the world had already been published, and it was not his turn to copy them.

Moreover, if you want to copy, you must also consider market factors, and you cannot just copy everything.

Qin Zhibo thought about it for a long time and felt that the books of Japanese mystery writer Keigo Higashino were worth copying.

First of all, detective works are very popular in this world. Secondly, Keigo Higashino is a Japanese writer, and his novels are more suitable for publication based on Japan.

At this time, although Keigo Higashino had already made his debut with "After School", which won the Edogawa Ranpo Award, he was not yet well-known. He was completely different from the world-class best-selling mystery writer Kudo Yusaku.

Wouldn't it be wrong if I copied Keigo Higashino's famous article "The Devotion of Suspect X" and changed it to "The Devotion of Suspect Y"?

Qin Zhibo gave up this plan after just thinking about it.

Because Qin Zhibo's system is not related to copywriting, he doesn't have a USB flash drive in his head, and because he didn't read much in his previous life, he has almost forgotten the relevant plot.

Take "The Devotion of Suspect X" as an example. Qin Zhibo only remembers that it was a highly intelligent neighbor who took the blame for the real murderer.

Qin Zhibo had long forgotten about the specific method of carrying a crime.

As for "White Night Journey", Qin Zhibo only remembers it as a story about childhood sweethearts conspiring to commit a crime.

This is the residual impression of some complicated story plots in the brain of normal people.

And detective novels are basically of this nature, it is impossible to remember all the details clearly, and in the end the writing will be nothing like it.

In this case, it would be better to re-imagine some new novels. Not only would it give a greater sense of accomplishment, but one would also not be afraid that the original author would come to visit and create news about another murder case in this sinister Mihua Town.

The two research manuscripts he read in the Blue Castle gave Qin Zhibo some inspiration.

These two research manuscripts tell some shocking investigation stories. The story is quite good, if it could be a little more polished.

So Qin Zhibo first contacted the current heirs of the Blue Castle, Mamiya Mitsuru and Mamiya Takato.

Ever since Mrs. Mamiya was confirmed dead, the Blue Castle has completely fallen into the hands of the two.

From the noble Mamiya, Qin Zhibo easily obtained the rights to adapt the story of his father and his grandfather's manuscripts.

After solving "what to write", the next step is how to write.

Qin Zhibo's current art and craft (writing) level is level 3. If the full level is level 10, it doesn't look very good.

But once these professional skills are possessed, even if they are only level 1, they are the lowest level to be able to engage in the profession.

In other words, Qin Zhibo has reached the level of a professional author in both conception and writing style.

Therefore, after pondering for a long time on a copy of the research manuscript, Qin Zhibo decided to use the first person to create such stories.

Compared with the third person, although the content displayed in the first person will be relatively narrow and prone to information asymmetry, the first person has the strongest sense of substitution.

The content of these research manuscripts itself is also from the shallower to the deeper. They are not afraid of incomplete display of information, and explore and investigate the truth step by step. On the contrary, this is the characteristic of this kind of story.

Add to that the unparalleled immersion of first-person, and it’s a match made in heaven.

Of the two research manuscripts, Qin Zhibo gave priority to Mr. Mamiya's "Records of Antarctic Expeditions" for creation.

The reason is simple. This story has a clear storyline, making it relatively easy to write an original adventure story.

The content of Mamiya Sadaki's "Nightmare Investigation" story is relatively blank. Although he investigated the dreams of many people, Mamiya Sadaki himself did not find out what cthulhu means in the end.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo plans to wait until he can investigate the meaning of cthulhu before writing this novel.

In terms of the title of the work, Qin Zhibo certainly could not use a title such as "XXX's Research Manuscript - Record of Antarctic Exploration". It would not be impactful at all and would look like an academic paper.

Since the whole story takes place in a black mountain range in Antarctica and witnesses all the crazy existence, the title of the book is...

"At the Mountains of Madness"!

In this way, Qin Zhibo spent three days writing "Crazy Mountains".

In order to make some differences from the content of the original research manuscript and reasonably arrange more information, Qin Zhibo chose Professor Dell, the then leader of the Miskatonic expedition, as the first-person protagonist.

Telling various stories from the preparation of the Antarctic expedition project to the adventure in Antarctica in the tone of a person who has experienced it, this can have a stronger sense of reality.

After the creation of the story "Mountains of Madness" was completed, Qin Zhibo contacted Niina Kahori and asked her to help contact the publishing house that he had visited when investigating the disappearance of Niina Rentaro.

Now that his new name is Xiang Baoli, he still uses his father's name and is still writing "Half of the Peak". Naturally, the publishing house does not dare to neglect the people introduced by this golden sign. In addition, Qin Zhibo is a celebrity.

"Hello, I am the editor-in-chief of this publishing house, Masao Iwata."

When a celebrity publishes a book and is introduced by an acquaintance, it is directly a personal reception from the editor-in-chief of the publishing house.
