Text | Not small
To say that higashino god I am obedient, worthy of the humanoid typewriter, not shocked, pen cultivation, before and after becoming famous have maintained an average of four books a year to create rhythm, spring, summer, autumn and winter, seasons often, others are works and others, Higashino Keigo has long been writing and waiting for three or four bodies.
However, watching more is always a little fresh - if this is the case, it is better to give other old seniors and newcomers in the reasoning industry a little chance - this is to recommend 10 new books of reasoning with surprises!
NO.1 "Balloon Man" by Chen Haoji
Howe Teacher YYDS!
This "Balloon Man" last year I read the traditional Chinese version, because Chen Haoji had an independent short article called "Balloon Man" before, I thought this collection was an unrelated short story collection, open a look at the surprise! It's all balloon man stories! Each short story is a chapter of its own, but together it is a small biography of the balloon man, which is fun!
The "Balloon Man" setting is also interesting: as long as he has physical contact with a person, he can enter commands to inflate, expand, twist like a balloon for a specified period of time, and finally "accidentally" die. It's simply "a touch of sin". Such a person with special abilities, not to be a professional killer is purely violent, so our balloon people have embarked on the road of professional killers...
The familiar Benge + society + narrative, confirming that Chen Haoji's style is correct!
Just recently out of the simplified chinese version, close your eyes, no problem.
NO.2 "The Mystery of the Alphabet" by Seiichiro Oyama
You can always believe the short stories of Seiichiro Oyama. The previous "Absolute Alibi", "Museum of Trickery", and "Chamber of Secret Collectors" have been fully verified. In contrast, I think "Alphabet Puzzle Case" is more interesting: P's delusion, F's denunciation, C's last words, Y's kidnapping, each of the four cases confirms that Seiichiro Oyama's brain hole is bigger than Yama.
Compared with Higashino, the slowness of Oyama's books is obvious to all, so each one is particularly worth cherishing.
NO.3 "Faceless Portrait" and "Night of the Rats" by Mikihiko Liancheng
Years after the death of Yoshihiko Rinjo, his two short story collections were finally introduced and published. Although they are all works from more than 30 years ago, the trickery does not feel outdated until now, and the beautiful writing and immersive atmosphere with a strong sense of substitution are among the best.
Seeing the story of "Night of the Rats", I found that the case of this "big and skinny monkey" in the famous TVB drama "Criminal Investigation Files" in the 90s came from this novel:
The protagonists of this unit are Wei Junjie and Li Yaoxiang
NO.4 "Blind Date Poisoning" by Kazuko Akiyoshi
Before watching "Our Lady" felt very good, I took the novels published by Akiyoshi Rikako Mainland and turned it over: "The Dead Return after School", "Dark Woman", "Game Victim" are all considered to have their own strengths, this "Blind Date Poisoning" is simply a few blind date small stories, easy to see, there are also the delicacy of female authors, full of expectations for the future of this author.
NO.5 "The Hourglass of the Time Traveler" by Abbot Guihui
I bought this book because I saw that it won the 29th Tetsuya Kakegawa Prize, and I can't see Tetsuya Kakegawa's new book, so it's better to see the new work that won the Old Master Award. Originally, there was no hope for the theme of time travel, and they felt that they were all overused, anyway, it was either parallel space or grandmother paradox, and they all hoped to influence the future by changing the past.
"Hourglass of time travelers" is about Kamo's wife, Ryuzumi Lingna, born into a large family, but was almost killed by a series of murders at the birthday party in 1960, and the only survivor and his descendants were also in a car accident in the following decades, and those who were killed were killed, in short, it was a family curse. In order to solve this cursed mystery, Kamo travels back in time to 1960... In fact, there is no special cosmology in the setting, and the only difference between it and other time travel is that it carries a high-level AI hourglass.
But the novel's greatest achievement is that Benguet's reasoning has found a new direction at the end of the road: with the combination of crossing, with technology, with everything that is new. Changing the setting and becoming a pioneering new way of Benguet reasoning after the exhaustion of tricks - the four laws that time and space travelers need to abide by, laying the groundwork for reasoning, making both false and true solutions very strong.
NO.6 "No" by Hidesuke Michio
Shusuke Mizuo's new work of storytelling master Shusuke Mizuo – this alone is enough.
Perhaps many people do not like "narrative" and feel that they are simply deceived by the author. I thought so, but then I found out that if a speculative novel is known to belong to the "narrative flow", when I open it again, there is a kind of fun fighting with the author (or being deceived) - knowing that it is a pit, and falling down, and the good narrative tricks I have read before are like this - Lei Jun's "Yellow", Akiyoshi Rikako's "Madonna", Mori Hirose's "Only Two People Left in the End", and "Reasoning Arena" in which Reichiro Fukami ridicules narratives are also quite interesting.
It's been more than a decade since I saw Shusuke Michio's last book, "The Summer when Sunflowers Don't Open." The four chapters of "No" are quite attractive to listen to: unwatchable, unspeakable, unenlightenable, untrusted — after reading the first one, silently nodding, Andi Shusuke Michio is trustworthy. But see the second, the third, the fourth... How can one article be more difficult to understand than the other? What do you mean? Don't understand at all?!
Quit to read the reviews, only to find that there is a picture at the end of each chapter?? Why is there no picture in the e-book I bought??
Go back and look, oh the original e-book also has a picture, but each picture is huge, so small that I thought it was a final chapter marker, I didn't know that the picture still hid the reverse information... Okay, a new book that has been waiting for more than ten years has completed its understanding in the comments on the bottom of the leak.
Remind everyone, look at the picture carefully, look at the picture carefully, look at the picture carefully!
In the end, I don't like the fact that there is a big string of "reversals" printed on the cover, as if the 2 yuan sale is cheap - the reasoning is not that the more reversals, the better, look at everything.
NO.7"Fool's Poison", By Makoto Usami
Although you basically know what the narrative is after reading a dozen pages, the book still attracts people to look all the way down. The author's writing is simple and calm, and he is a master of storytelling. Improper reasoning is also a very good novel, the fate of the characters touches people's hearts, and the restoration of the times is also very realistic.
NO.8 "Anemone" by Beckbon
Native writer Beckbon also belongs to the genre of storytelling. This "Anemone" focuses on crime, but in fact, the trick is not outstanding, and the secret room thrown out at the beginning is found to be a pseudo-chamber after writing hundreds of thousands of words. As a benguet advocate, I have always believed in "no tricks, no reasoning", but although "Sea Anemone" has no tricks, it is still very capable of catching people, especially the suffocating part of the fish tank... The same is the social faction, Bekebang's writing is really many times better than a certain purple.
NO.9 "Lies In the Darkness" by Atsushi Shimomura
The point of interest in this book is that the protagonist of the first perspective is a blind man - when he presents to the police that someone suspects that someone wants to kill himself and his mother, he can't even know whether the suspect is watching himself and learning everything, and the strange smell of smoke wafting through the air can be creepy.
Who the hell is lying? Can't be sure until the last moment. This book makes people deeply experience the many "distrusts" in the lives of blind people, and the protagonist has come up with many ways to make his life easier: such as folding banknotes with different banknotes into different shapes to distinguish them... But the ubiquitous lies in the darkness are still confusing.
Blind and blind. The most handsome scene in the whole book, when someone warns the protagonist that "if you are too close to the darkness, you may fall into the darkness", the protagonist calmly replies: "Twenty-eight years ago, I was already in the darkness." ”
NO.10 The Devil's Hideout by Craig Russell
Britain is also home to speculative fiction. The novel is about 1935, in a mental hospital on the top of a castle in the Czech Republic, where terrible killers from Eastern Europe are imprisoned, known as the "Six Devils"—"clowns," "herbivores," "glass collectors," "lumberjacks," "psychics," and "ghost animals." Listening to the names of these great devils is a bit like to be funny, but the novel is rich and uniquely conceived, and in the end, whether it is the devil or the devil is your own judgment.
Next up is lightning time!
Just as there are 30 cockroaches behind every cockroach in appearance, every time a good speculative novel is recommended, you will first read at least three ugly speculative fiction novels, the following are not the most ugly, but belong to the kind of reading experience with the largest voice difference:
NO.1 "Psychic Detective Castle Jade" Sagasawa Shahu
This novel has won many awards, what "this speculative novel is really powerful", Benge Reasoning Award TOP1 la, SR Zhihui Speculative Fiction Award, publicity is "The Amazing Work of the Japanese Reasoning Circle" and "Author's Message + Seal, Dedicated to Chinese Readers" - I spent 79 yuan to buy a hardcover book as thick as a brick (the number of words is also more than 100,000), and fell into meditation in the face of the cover of the secondary two...
When I saw the second part, I understood that the previous ones must be pseudo-solutions, why, because the pseudo-is too pseudo-false. The general pseudo-solution/true solution routine is: first give a reasonable pseudo-solution, just when the reader thinks he knows the truth, then point out the loopholes in the pseudo-solution, throw out a more logical true solution, and wait for the reader's applause... But this novel cow, each pseudo-solution is almost engraved on the forehead with a "pseudo" word, the whole article is a psychic 20-year-old psychic medium beauty girl, almost like a reader fool. The result of this is that when the last 20 pages of the real answer appear, the reader's heart has no waves: just this?
I remembered the heavy taste of Tomoyuki Shirai's book "No One Dies" that pays tribute to Agatha's "No One Survives", five-fold answer, which one is hanging Aizawa Shahu!
"No One Dies"
NO.2 "Aoi no Yan" by Takashi Yusuke
Deceived by the marketing word "Douban 9.1 points", open a look at the two can not do, the so-called "Qingzhiyan", refers to the anger of young people, "Qingzhiyan's burning temperature, higher than the red flame."
A story of a middle school teenager who thinks he is a "perfect crime", the teenager is entangled in every detail of the crime to perfection, repeatedly doing various assassination experiments, but in fact, there are as many loopholes as a sieve. The whole book feels like taking a physical chemistry class, and the description of the psychology after the crime is both childish and wordy, and some people even think that this part is written very deeply, "Crime and Punishment" and "The Red and the Black" are about to die!
(Casually copy a piece of mental activity you taste a pin: "I actually want to kill him, like stepping on a bug.") Will a person who has killed someone once continue to take the lives of others without any concern? ”）
After reading and then looking at Douban, obviously only 8 points, at the beginning of the listing to find a wave of 9 points to find a wave of water army brushes can be "Douban 9.1 points" to deceive people, this wave of operations can be really showy.
NO.3 "Knocking on the Door of the Chamber of Secrets 2" by Aozaki Yugo
The first part of "Knocking on the Door of the Chamber of Secrets" published four years ago is full of lightness, but in this second part, it is all kinds of bulky, the Chamber of Secrets is not much innovation, the writing is getting more and more middle two, and it is disappointing to wait for four years to wait for such a sequel.
NO.4 "Mercy on the Devil" by Yasuhiko Nishizawa
The four short stories also have a sense of difficulty in chanting for three years, which is no longer the light and agile Nishizawa teacher in "Disintegrating Causes". The Craftsman Series is really not ranked in The Works of Yasuhiko Nishizawa.
NO.5 "Detective AI" and "Prisoner IA" by Hayasaka Misery
It is said that it is the "work on the shore" of the famous Gongkou reasoning master Hayasaka Misery, as mentioned earlier, the combination with the technology of the times may be a new way out of Benge reasoning, so it was still full of expectations for these two books - as a result - after reading these two books, the new book "Drone Detective" that has been ordered by Hayasaka has been quickly withdrawn, which is really the same as chewing wax.
Not to mention that the setting of allowing AI to learn detective skills by reading thousands of speculative novels is too middle two, and the trickery of the sweeping robot, even if it appears in the five-dollar script kill, makes people want to roll their eyes.
NO.6 "The Closed Door" by Shi Zhi Qianhai
The 2006 novel, just introduced. I read this because it won the second place in "This Mystery Novel Is Really Great" in 2006, and the first place in the same year was Keigo Higashino's "The Devotion of Suspect X". In the hope that 2006 may be a "fairy fight", I thought that "The Gate of Confinement" might be the "Shawshank Redemption" defeated by "Forrest Gump", so I looked at it, and the result was that the first place may dump the second ten streets.
One of the attractions of this novel is that it uses flashback reasoning—that is, to show the whole process of the murderer's murder first, and then to reason—and anyone who has seen "Furuhata Renzaburō" knows that this pre-disclosure of the murderer also leaves suspense, and the suspense lies mainly in three points: motive, method, flaw, and evidence. Unfortunately, this film is exactly the same on these three points: the motive is strange, the technique is simple, the evidence... Emmm evidence that some of the authors actually mean to "challenge the reader"... Can you imagine that one of the friends who attended the alumni association was trapped in an anti-locked room for ten hours without knowing whether to live or die, and so many other people gathered around the door to discuss whether to break the door and find out? The whole book is discussed in the discussion, really do not talk about martial arts.
