Reborn great writer

"Thank you for your support." "I hope you will like the book "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes." "Thank you for coming." "I hope I can give you a new reasoning experience"...

Preparations for the book signing event began at around nine o'clock, and the company also rented a place similar to a shopping mall for this event, and then used it after temporary decoration.

Generally speaking, the Los Angeles branch of this book signing event is very well prepared and organized. It feels much better than the previous book signing events in China. At least it will not make Su Shichen and Readers are exposed to the hot sun.

Of course, there is also a huge flaw. This public announcement did not specify the number of people who will come. The originally scheduled book signing will only last three hours, starting at nine o'clock and ending at twelve o'clock.But now it’s 12:30, it’s already overtime, but the book signing event is still full of people, and there are still many people who have just got off work and are rushing here. According to this rhythm, even if it’s 01:30 in the afternoon, it’s not accurate .

Taking advantage of the time to drink water, Su Shichen dragged Chen Ning and asked, "{Notify the company to find a solution. If this continues, you will be late for the short story judging activities in the afternoon."

Although it is not hot at all indoors now, Chen Ning is still sweating profusely. He never thought that Su Shichen's popularity would be so high, so he signed one in five seconds. After more than three hours, it should be over by now. More than 2000 people have signed, but it is just the tip of the iceberg.

Chen Ning walked aside to call the company, while Su Shichen lowered his head and continued to sign.

"I asked someone to buy the Chinese version of "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" from Huaxia before, and now the English version is finally out." Su Shichen heard that it was in Chinese, looked up, and looked like he should be a student from Huaxia, and then It is a Chinese version and an English version, which is already very supportive.

"Thank you for your support." Su Shichen thanked again.

"Come on, Su, I like to read the puzzles that Holmes solved the most. I remember that the Chinese version I bought last time didn't have many short stories? Why are there only two long stories this time?"

This time the English version consists of two full-length novels, "A Study in Scarlet" and "The Valley of Uncanny", and three short novels, which are based on the model of "Sherlock Holmes 3" from the previous world, and this is not a deliberate imitation.

In China, Sherlock Holmes is already very famous, so he can publish short story collections or selections at will.However, he is a newcomer in the United States, and it is best to use a long novel to gain popularity. The Study of Scarlet Letters is the famous work of Conan Doyle, and the Uncanny Valley is the coolest among the four novels that Su Shichen thinks, so this combination is Well thought out.

"You like puzzles?" Su Shichen's eyes brightened with the words of this Huaxia foreign student. Su Shichen called Chen Ning and asked Chen Ning to prepare something for him, and then said kindly: "Since this student likes puzzles , and you are so supportive, then I should give you back."

Seeing the "gentle" smile on Su Shichen's face, Huaxia international students felt shuddering for some reason.Well, it's just that the name of Su Shi Chenkeng God has not spread to the United States.

Usually, it only takes a few seconds to sign a name, but the Huaxia students have already stayed in front for a few minutes, and such a pause makes the readers in the queue at the back very impatient.

It was at this time that everyone heard Su Shichen's voice: "Thank you all readers for your support. Those who like to read mystery novels should be those who like puzzles very much, or like to think with the detectives in the books. So I Here is a very interesting challenge to all readers." Chen Ning had already prepared what Su Shichen wanted, the microphone and a large writing board.

Very interesting challenge? ?

The readers present all stared at Su Shichen with wide eyes, wondering what he was planning to do.

"We're on Winston Street now, so I'll make up a story about this street." Su Shichen picked up a pen and began to write on the clipboard.Su Shichen's writing speed is a bit slow because of the fact that writing in the air is very slow, and he still writes in English.English words appeared on the writing board one by one, and many readers reacted and exclaimed: "Oh! God! Su is going to write a novel on the spot?"

Then many people thought of what Su Shichen said before, a very interesting challenge. Could it be that Su Shichen is going to write a mystery novel on the spot, and then let the readers guess the murderer, and challenge the readers?

Many readers have almost thought of this possibility, but this behavior is too unimaginable, so they just ignore it. ?

But...Su Shichen cannot be judged by common sense.

"It's really a novel! What Su wrote is really a mystery novel!" There was no doubt that the word murder had already appeared on the writing board.The murder took place on Winston Street where they were now.

In other words, Su Shichen is writing a mystery novel on the spot to challenge readers.

Write a song on the spot, if the quality of the song is not bad, such a person is called a musical talent.But Su Shichen is writing a novel on the spot, and it's still a mystery novel, so it's okay?

Mystery novels have high requirements for logic and rigor, which is already a cliché.Is it really okay to write mystery novels under such noisy and impromptu circumstances?

"I will definitely guess it right away." Such a voice came from the crowd, followed by laughter. At the same time, many people clamored to guess who the murderer was in one go.

In the Winston Street murder case, clues were revealed bit by bit.This is a very cruel murder case. The deceased was a mother and daughter. The death condition was extremely horrific, but none of the valuables were lost, and the neighbors proved that no one left the murder scene after the crime, except for the sharp Nothing but the cry was heard, and no one could understand what language it was. It was a very strange murder.

"Suppose it was a murder in Winston Street."

Every piece of evidence has been revealed. Just as he was about to solve the murderer in this strange murder case, Su Shichen suddenly stopped. The front side of this large writing board was fully written and the back side was half written. .

Throwing the chalk aside: "As for the answer, I will announce it tomorrow. How about it, let's guess." Su Shichen's tone was a little provocative.

"Who is the murderer?" "Could it be that doctor? I think he's the most suspect." "Nonsense, take a good look. It's said that there is no murderer. If it was that doctor, how could he escape?" The readers present began There was a lot of discussion.

A sentence popped up suddenly: "Didn't someone just say that you can guess it immediately? Who is it, tell me the answer quickly."

The readers who boasted about Haikou just now do not know where they are hiding among the crowd.

"Who is the murderer?" "The language no one understands, what a strange testimony." "Su, let's write the next issue." All voices asked Su Shichen to announce the answer immediately. ?

"In 24 hours a day, the top three who guess the murderer correctly will get a reward of 30 US dollars. Of course, if only one person guesses correctly by the end of tomorrow, then this person will get [-] US dollars. Come on, everyone, Use your imagination, let's reason and reason." Well, Su Shichen is Chiguoguo's money lover, and he fell silent when he asked for an announcement. ?

Su Shichen's tone of voice, as well as his behavior, were completely provocative to the readers.

"This is the end of the book signing, everyone can copy this article." Su Shichen reminded. ?

The sudden puzzle made the readers unresponsive to Su Shichen ending the book signing. All the attention was shifted to the writing board. Those who had a pen and paper copied it, and the smart ones directly took out their mobile phones. Take pictures, each show their talents.

You know, a bonus of [-] U.S. dollars is a lot. The average annual salary in the United States is [-] U.S. dollars, which is about [-] U.S. dollars per month.For an ordinary family, one hundred thousand is really not a small number.In addition, as Su Shichen said, most people who like to read mystery novels like to use their brains to solve cases with the detectives in the books, otherwise the novels of the original genre would not be so popular.

Successful escape is the purpose of Su Shichen's sudden whim. Of course, this kind of challenge has another benefit. The "Winston Street Murder" that challenges readers becomes popular, and "Detective Sherlock Holmes" will definitely benefit from it. .

Su Shichen limited the number of places, otherwise, like a certain mystery novelist on Earth in his previous life, he challenged readers, many readers guessed the result, and almost bankrupted the publishing house.It is impossible for Su Shichen to do this kind of thing, and of course the puzzle that Su Shichen posed is not that simple.

After signing nearly [-] signatures, my wrist was sore, "What's the time now?"

"It's just one o'clock, and I'm going to be a judge at three o'clock in the afternoon, and I need to go to the scene to prepare at about 02:30." Chen Ning reminded. ?

"It seems that I can't go back to the hotel to rest, so I'll have a big meal, I'm starving to death." Now it's time for lunch.

"Well, Su Da, is there really no problem with the Winston murder case?" Chen Ning was still quite skeptical.

"Problem? What's the problem?" Su Shichen asked back. The Murder on Winston Street also changed the name of a street. The significance of cross-age, as well as the great reversal of its wonderful ending, and this reversal and the previous evidence are completely reasonable.

And this original author is one of the three major horror novelists in the United States, the originator of western detective novels, and a series of titles describe the author's aspirations.Therefore, it is still very difficult to guess who is the murderer in "Winston Street Murder". ?

In fact, Su Shichen originally planned to use Agatha Christie's "The Mysterious Case of Roger".Well, there is no doubt that this is also a masterpiece of paradoxical novels. How can the United States let it go after the island country is defrauded?But there is a problem that "Roger's Mysterious Case" is a medium-length novel, about [-] words, not to mention whether it is possible to write down all the evidence on the tablet, can you write so much in one go without being exhausted?That's why I chose the article he just said. The answer without the preface at the beginning and the reasoning at the end is only about [-] words.

I found a restaurant and gave my condolences to the Wu Zang Temple. At the same time, Su Shichen's behavior of provoking readers and promising a huge bonus turned the United States upside down.

Although it is common for Benge mystery novels to provoke readers, such a bet of up to 30 US dollars has never happened before, and now even people who are not interested in mystery novels are attracted.

This kind of publicity is much better than the publicity that the propaganda department of the Los Angeles branch racked its brains.

The news that Su Shichen challenged the United States suddenly detonated the United States...

ps: I believe everyone has guessed the prototype of "The Murder of Winston". It's the one that's right. It's quite classic. I recommend everyone to check it out. (To be continued.)
