Generally speaking, many inferences often set up suspense at the beginning, and then guide readers to discover clues step by step, and then solve the puzzle.

But this "Death by Wrongdoing" did not reveal the whereabouts of the corpse at the end.

No doubt, this can provide a challenge for the reader, and challenge often means fun!

She closed her eyes and began to recall the contents of the article.

At the beginning, there was a conversation among the police officers that the building of the exchange office was very old.

But when Daito Takamatsu's family was locked in the interrogation room of the exchange, they mentioned that the walls and equipment of the exchange were brand new.

Is this a typo?

No, it is likely to be a trick of the author.

These two exchanges are not the same exchange, or in other words, the exchange where Takamatsu Daito's family was imprisoned was a newly constructed exchange.

But when was the body moved?

Morioka Yuho thought for a while, then turned to the front of the work and found a detail.

On the night of October 10, after the male protagonist got off the bus, he took a taxi to the store and took out a large piece of luggage from the warehouse.

Seeing this line of words, Morioka Yuho couldn't help laughing.

It seems that as I expected, the body was buried somewhere in the exchange!

After thinking about it, she admired the design of the work even more, and she had a higher evaluation in her heart.

It seems that this "Death by Wrongdoing", in addition to the ingenious design of tricks, also used words to play a trick game with readers...

This is not at the same level as the other two works.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this work can only get the Newcomer Award instead of the Association Award, which is a bit wronged.

At this point, I don't need to think too much about my vote.

Morioka Yuho closed the work in his hands, looked at Takaoka Haruto who was already doing nothing in the upper right corner, and nodded.

Seeing her movements, Takaoka Haruto immediately understood Morioka Yuho's plan and smiled.

……

When the two judges of the Benge School and the New Benge School looked at each other, Ryota Ninomiya, as a representative of the Socialist School writer, just closed the work "Death by Mistake".

By now, he has read almost three books.

And this also made him entangled in which work to vote for.

"Spiral Staircase"?

This work uses visual errors to construct murder schemes, which is very ingenious, but the description of society is very weak, and there is not much discussion on human nature.

So it mainly belongs to the works of Xinbenge, which is not within the scope of my consideration.

"The Third Man Behind"?

There is something extraordinary about this work. The murderer tries to hide his crime of killing his girlfriend by hunting down a series of girls.

Because of random killings, it is difficult for the police to find the truth.

In terms of human nature, it portrays a very extreme high school boy, which seems to be well described.

In terms of sociality, it also supplements the incompetence of the police and the panic of the people.

The grim and the suspenseful, might give this a vote, right?

Having said that, do you want to think about it yourself?

As for the work "Death by Wrongdoing"...

Ninomiya Ryota frowned, getting into a tangle,

From the point of view of ingenuity, this work is even better than "The Spiral Staircase", using a variety of trick design techniques, including time, memory, and the handling of evidence and corpses.

From the perspective of society and human nature, there are also many conflicts in it, such as the class antagonism between the Takamatsu family and the Ito family, the conflict between judicial justice and family protection, and the love of the Takamatsu couple and the Ito couple for their children.

Therefore, although this work has elements of the authentic school, it does not lack the shadow of the socialist school.

From the perspective of story design, it is also very reasonable and makes people feel carefree.

But this ending, in the end, he escaped legal punishment... Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate...

Only this made him very unhappy.

Ninomiya Ryota began to struggle.

It would have been nice if there were purely socialist works shortlisted this time, then I wouldn't have to be so entangled now.

Here comes the question, should I vote for "The Third Man Behind" or "Death by Wrongdoing"?

……

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was 6 o'clock in the evening. Shinta Kawai, who presided over the review meeting, raised his head, looked around, and saw that everyone had put down the works in their hands.

Kawai Shinta coughed, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said: "Masters, everyone should have read the three works in their entirety, so I will announce that I am entering the next session."

After saying this, Kawai Shinta saw that there was no objection, so he called two assistants, one of them held a gray ballot box in both hands, and the other distributed a piece of paper to each of the five writers on the field. .

Seeing that the distribution was completed, Shinta Kawai said, "Now, teachers, please write the works that you think are worthy of evaluation, and deliver them to this ballot box."

After a pause, he added: "As for the result, it will be announced on the spot after all the votes are collected."

Hearing these words, Yuho Morioka took up the pen, wrote the line "death by mistake" on the paper, and folded the paper after finishing writing.She looked around and saw that everyone else had finished writing, too.

To be honest, she finds the current voting rules a bit cumbersome.

A few years ago, both the Reasoning Writers Association Award and the Reasoning Literature Newcomer Award were in the form of public discussion and public voting.

However, after the new chairman of the Association of Reasoning Writers took office, he proposed to be as fair and just as possible, and to avoid struggles between factions and clans.

Therefore, the following award selections will adopt the form of blind review and black-box voting.

Yuho Morioka was thinking about something when the assistant in a black suit walked up to her holding the ballot box. After thinking about it, she put the vote in her hand into the box.

After collecting all the votes, the assistant returned to the original position with the ballot box in his arms, and placed the ballot box in the direction of the front table in the conference room.

In this direction, everyone can see clearly.
