Chapter 527 The End of the Story
The end of the story came sooner than Barry imagined.

After Vera killed Longbottom, the entire island fell into peace.

The number of small porcelain figures in the living room remains unchanged at three.

Vera grabbed two of them and threw them down hard, and then couldn't help but think of the last line of the nursery rhyme.

There seemed to be some kind of special guidance, and Vera followed the hanging beam and committed suicide without knowing it.

So far, no one has survived on the entire island!
Everything happened naturally, but it made Barry feel that it was very consistent with Vera's mental state.

The entire incident on Soldier Island was unfolded before Barry's eyes from this perspective, but it was still a limited perspective.

Barry believes that there are always things that he does not understand, and they are happening undercurrents against this background.

The truth was like an exquisite dessert hidden in the last page of the book. Barry's curiosity and excitement were once again aroused, and he was already ready to taste it.

"How do you feel?" He Jing asked.

After a while, another actor completed the audition in front of Jiang Yuan and others, and now it was time for discussion.

"Are there two more people behind you?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look through the information.

"Yes, this is indeed very suitable for the role. It is no longer a good choice now." Li Xing nodded at the side.

The second actor who auditioned was on par with the first actor in everyone's opinion.

"Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, let's take a look." Finally, Morkan concluded.

The audition continued as planned.

While waiting for the next actor to prepare, He Jing couldn't help but pick up "No Survival" and flipped through a few pages. He was obviously attracted by the plot.

It wasn't until the actors were about to enter that He Jing reluctantly put down the book in his hand.

On the other side of the ocean, Barry's reading progress was obviously much smoother than that of He Jing, and from a certain perspective, he could not put the book down.

At the end, the director and detective sent by Scotland Yard investigated the case that occurred on this isolated island.

Ten living people just died on a bare island. No matter how you look at it, it is a case that seems to be wrong.

After autopsy reports were conducted on all the bodies, the manner of death was consistent with the previous ones.

Then Sir Legge and Inspector Maine began to discuss whether the residents of the surrounding towns could provide some useful clues.

Barry was also a little curious about this.

After all, when they came to Soldier Island before, someone did send Vargrave and others to the island.

But the ship never came again.

It was clearly a town inhabited by residents, but it was completely indifferent to the distress signal sent by the island, without any response.

Here, Barry's doubts are well answered.

According to the investigation, the surrounding residents are just ordinary fishermen. They only heard that Soldier Island was bought by a man named Owen.

Irving's agent was called Morris, but he was dead and there was no trace of him.

As for what happened on Soldier Island in the past few days, Morris, as an agent, had contacted people in the town.

It is claimed that a wilderness survival competition is going on on Soldier Island in the past few days, so that the residents of the town do not need to take the distress signal on the island seriously.

The purchase of Soldier Island itself was a rather strange act, so the residents were not surprised by it but did not have too much doubt.

Then came the accusations against Wargrave and others that had been recorded in advance on the record.

Scotland Yard also conducted corresponding investigations into these accusations, and a more objective truth began to emerge.

The first person to die was Anthony Marston. He hit and killed two children near Cambridge while driving while speeding. However, because of a friend's guarantee, he was released on bail after only paying a fine.

Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, their former employer, died suddenly. Doctors did not give a definite explanation for the cause of death, but said that the couple had not poisoned them.

The subject judged by Judge Wagrave was indeed guilty, but conclusive evidence was discovered only after he was executed. However, when the verdict was pronounced, everyone believed that Wagrave was acting for public benefit.

In addition, people such as Vera and Armstrong are related to the case.

But what all of them have in common is that it is completely impossible to prove their guilt under the law.

Mr. Irving acted like a character with a strange sense of justice and put ten men to trial and execution.

At the same time, Legg and Main also began to reason about the murderer's crime.

Based on the existing clues and some traces found on the island, the two became more convinced that the murderer was among the ten people.

Based on the clues, the two deduced that Vera was the one who committed suicide.

The most critical part is that after Vera finally committed suicide, there were traces of other people's activities on the island.

The chair that Vera used to commit suicide was originally kicked to the ground, but when it was discovered, it was found that the chair was neatly placed in the corner of the room like other chairs.

Therefore, there has always been a person who killed everyone on the island and did a good job in the aftermath.

As for the existence of an isolated island, it is impossible for anyone to leave Soldier Island before the rescue ship arrives.

So, who is the murderer?
Barry couldn't help but be a little surprised, surprised that Vera wasn't the last to die.

There is actually a person who exists like a ghost and accomplishes these things quietly.

In his mind, each character that Barry had imagined began to pass through one by one, matching the possibility of each person being the murderer.

There seems to be a vague guess, but not sure.

Fortunately, I still had the last few thin pages in my hand.

It is a manuscript letter sent to Scotland Yard and is also a confession from the murderer.

From the cause of the crime to the process of committing the crime, the method, how to achieve it, and the perfect ending, all are reasonably explained.

After reading this manuscript smoothly and smoothly, I couldn't help but read the story again.

Then, closing the page, Barry couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

The story is meticulously and wonderfully arranged, one link after another, full of doubts but with climaxes one after another.

The tense atmosphere created by the island and the nursery rhymes also accompanied Barry during the reading process.

The final ending was a perfect ending that Barry felt was reasonable and somewhat unexpected.

"Bravo! Amazing!." Looking at the book cover, Barry couldn't help but uttered several words of admiration.

He had a hunch that this would definitely become a blockbuster hit on par with Orient Express.

After recalling the excitement of the story again, Barry felt that he might still be able to find this book and read it in the future.

It will be a work worth reading again and again.

Similarly, there is no suspense about the Golden Dagger Award in Barry.

In his opinion, if this is not an award, then who else can win it?

"No Survival" was like a killer to him, killing the game directly.

The balance that was still slightly swinging has tipped to Omega's side without hesitation.Among the new works in the past three years, Barry feels that none can compete with Omega.

As for some writers with relatively good and glorious qualifications, this has become a past glory in Bari.

And as time passes, Barry also has a hunch that these works of Omega will definitely become classics.

With this in mind, Barry placed "No Survival" in his most cherished shelf on the bookshelf.

On that bookshelf, the name Omega is the only author who has not been dealt with by Barry.

The degree of attention is evident.

After putting the books away, Barry sat down in his seat, feeling somewhat empty.

Then he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and started to contact his friends and some fellow Golden Dagger Award judges.

Try to share it Amway, or exchange your impressions after reading.

-

The moment when Barry was so excited that he couldn't sleep because of the surprise brought by "No Survival".

Jiang Yuan and others finally completed the audition for the role of Laura in "The Invisible Guest".

The notebook in front of Jiang Yuan also recorded different views on each actor.

Although he only participated in one audition, Jiang Yuan was still very serious now that he was here.

Looking at He Jing and others, it is difficult to give the final answer immediately.

"Why don't you all send me a name privately after you go back to review it." He Jing thought for a while and said.

It is indeed not good to make a hasty decision in a short period of time.

Li Xing and others had already adapted to this model and did not say anything more.

After Jiang Yuan left this scene, he was about to start his journey again, and he didn't have much time.

However, He Jing still valued Jiang Yuan's opinion very much.

After all, the chemical reaction between the actors needs to be considered. In addition, Jiang Yuan came up with this script.

So even though he said he wanted everyone to vote, to a certain extent, Jiang Yuan still had one vote.

"Don't forget to ask for a signed special edition for us later." Before leaving, Li Xing and Morkang told Jiang Yuan without forgetting.

"It's easy to talk about. I've already told the editor of the publishing house." Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded.

I had just sent a message to Yang Chao during the audition process.

After receiving a positive answer, Li Xing and others also left the practice room with happy faces.

Jiang Yuan and He Jing were left sitting in their seats, flipping through the information on their mobile phones, and happened to browse the publication promotion of "No Survival".

"Can you also give me a set of other limited editions?" He Jing couldn't help but ask after pointing to the photos on his phone.

Jiang Yuan also looked at the pictures and couldn't help but sigh that the publishing house was really good at collecting money from entities.

This time, the publication promotion of "No Survival" was very vigorous.

It seems to be a new trend in the development of physical books. Some special treatments will be done on the cover or edge of the book.

A special binding is produced and sold in a limited edition, which is called a special edition to distinguish it from the regular edition of the book.

This time, the special edition of "No Survival" has specially produced many limited edition special editions.

From red-edged book edges to gold-edged and silver-edged ones, there are a total of ten versions in various colors.

Each edition is limited to 1000 copies, and each copy has its own number, with a total of [-] specially printed copies.

The selling price is also much higher than the regular version.

Even for the regular version, a hardcover version and a library version are specially produced for readers to choose from.

After Jiang Yuan received the sample book and read the publishing plan, he was convinced.

After all, I haven’t been able to produce so many versions of my albums.

As for this special edition, in addition to the domestic version, there are also similar special editions abroad.

It has also triggered a rush to buy to a certain extent, and reservations need to be made by lottery on the official website.

This activity is also very popular.

Although it's a bit gimmicky, the attention it gets is really high.

Even because of the design of multiple versions, it has become the most popular new book in recent times. It has already gained great popularity even before it was officially launched.

Even the number of people who made reservations for the lottery on the official website has exceeded one million.

Regarding this hot situation, in order to avoid the existence of subsequent scalpers in the secondary market as much as possible.

In the lottery, a real-name system was also introduced.

Even when subsequent books are shipped out of the warehouse, a special page with the buyer's name will be added to the book.

At the same time, Yang Chao also considered that after Jiang Yuan's identity was revealed, the price of this special edition would inevitably skyrocket.

Fans may not care if someone else's name is on the page.

In order to deal with this situation, in the announcement of this special equipment lottery, a special statement was added to encourage rational purchase, and the special equipment may be considered for regular sale in the future.

We have given everyone a warning of backstabbing in advance.

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded and agreed.

"Okay, there's nothing to do today. I'm going to go back to study first." He Jing raised "No Survival" in his hand and informed Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan also waved his hand and said goodbye to He Jing.

After sending He Jing away, Jiang Yuan sent several messages to Yang Chao again.

Recently, due to preparations for the Golden Dagger Award and the publication of "No Survivor", the two have been in close communication.

After explaining his demands, Jiang Yuan was also thinking about whether he could invite the designer this time to design his album.

It was fine before, but after the mission [Palace Records] appeared, Jiang Yuan hoped to have more attractive physical designs to boost sales and complete the mission as soon as possible.

But after thinking about it, I suppressed this idea for the time being and planned to talk about it later when I hold an album planning meeting.

After the audition, Jiang Yuan also left Xingyuan Entertainment.

The audition for "The Invisible Guest" was conducted confidentially and no news was leaked.

Therefore, the already busy fans of Jiang Yuan did not become busier because of this.

The next day, Jiang Yuan ended his vacation and resumed his schedule.
