After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

"The three core mysteries involve the murder of Heikichi Umezawa. He was killed in a locked room on a snowy day. There were footprints of a man and a woman outside the door, with the man's footprint deliberately stepping on top of the woman's. As if the author knew what the readers would guess, he eliminated all the existing hypotheses and methods of committing the crime.

Then there was the murder of his eldest daughter with his current wife. According to the notes, because his eldest daughter was already married, Umezawa Heiyoshi did not intend to deal with her, and the death of his eldest daughter was an accident.

Then there are the six women who died in the Asodo case. Their bodies were exactly as described in the diary, scattered across Fuso by the murderer. What's more unusual is that the burial methods were also different. I think this is a unique point."

"Another crucial point: Umezawa Heiji, who devised the method of committing the crime, was already dead before the Asodo case occurred. According to the book, no one else has access to the notebook, or those who do have access to it lack a motive. Furthermore, the case occurred over forty years ago. If I were the protagonist, I wouldn't have a clue where to start."

"Based on the author's previous short story writing style, do you think he's resorting to narrative trickery again, misleading the reader with information?"

"It's possible, but the premise of narrative trickery is that all the information provided is true and valid, it's just that there are blind spots that we haven't discovered."

"This writer named Lu Qingfeng is amazing. He laid so much groundwork in the beginning, and once the plot unfolds, the suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere is instantly built up."

"Based on Shui's description, I drew a diagram of the Umezawa family's relationships. You can take a look."

In the forum, there is a heated discussion about "Astrology Murder Magic".

As the clues of the murder case are gradually revealed, the magical cases described in the book also pique the interest of those who are interested in reasoning.

Readers who like detective novels like the process of solving the mystery bit by bit from the perspective of the protagonist.

The more complicated the case, the more addictive it is, and this is also the fun of reading detective novels.

And undoubtedly, "Astrology Murder Magic" does an excellent job in this regard.

Its novel case design is something this group of readers have never encountered before.

The discussion has become as heated as the top two, Ranpo Makoto and Snow Monster.

And as time goes by, the number of topics has surpassed Ranpo Makoto's "Dark Night Earl".

It is on par with Snow Monster's "Dear, I Want to Kill for You".

Naturally, some readers began to compare these books.

"As for the opening, I can give 'The Count of the Night' a perfect score, 'Dear, I Will Kill You' a nine, and 'Astrology Murder Magic' a five."

"Indeed, 'Astrology' reveals the answer right from the start. It explains the murder method and everything else, along with a ton of seemingly useless information. Just reading the first two chapters is enough to discourage me."

"But this book starts off slow and ends strong, unlike 'The Night Count' which feels like it's going to flop again."

"Big Mouth Makoto is starting to have another attack. I don't understand why a writer who used to be so spiritual has become like this."

"This guy has a problem at heart. He was pretentious at first, but after his first book became a bestseller, he stopped pretending and started spouting nonsense on Weibo. Just go to Weibo and read his previous posts and you'll see."

"What about China's Edogawa Ranpo? He's done for. Edogawa's weirdness is his style, but the core of his reasoning remains the same. His plots are ridiculously off-kilter."

"I thought the new book could be revised, and I was quite looking forward to it at first. But now, is it still too early to look forward to it?"

While chatting in the forum, the topic of Ranpo Makoto came up again.

Many old readers have bluntly said that this person is a weirdo.

List all the brainless things he has done.

"Hey, stop talking, Big Mouth Makoto might be snooping on the screen right now. He'll go crazy soon."
