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

The murderer used a magical notebook to conceal his method of killing, hiding his true identity under the identity of the victim, and misleading the investigators' search direction.

The author also threw out this notebook at the beginning, using a mysterious concept to attract the readers' attention. It was not until the old policeman's diary appeared that everyone realized that they had been deceived.

The core method of murder and dismemberment later on is even more astonishing, not only because five corpses were disguised as six people.

The disposal and burial of the bodies there were also very elaborate.

Because of changes in temperature and humidity, the rate at which a corpse decays will also vary.

The murderer did this to mislead the police investigation.

The author obviously consulted a lot of information when designing this play.

The case took place during the Showa period, and it was because there was no technology such as DNA testing at that time that this trick was possible to carry out.

Really, this book is full of details, the author really put a lot of effort into it."

A long comment was posted by a book recommendation blogger named Qin Hanchun.

This was recognized by many people, but at the same time he expressed his own views.

“However, this book, ‘Astrology Murder Magic’, has actually deviated from the scope of orthodox mystery. The murder scheme envisioned by the author is indeed brilliant, but the possibility of carrying out such a murder method is extremely small.

We all know that orthodox reasoning has a fixed framework.

A logical reasoning case that can be realized in the real world view.

But "The Astrology Murder Magic" violates this paradigm, so this book cannot be called a strictly orthodox detective novel.

If you want to believe that this can happen, you must first adapt to the worldview that the author has constructed for you."

This statement immediately led many readers to discuss whether this mystery novel could be considered a traditional one, rather than the murder plot in the novel.

You may say it is not, but it does not deviate from the rigorous reasoning logic advocated by the orthodox school, at least it is definitely not the same as the informal school.

But if you say yes, it doesn't conform to the real world view.

It's very contradictory.

The development of detective novels, especially the orthodox school, has now formed a fixed framework.

Whether it is an orthodox mystery novel depends on whether this book can find the corresponding source.

This is why it is difficult to innovate in orthodox detective novels.

It's like a game of chess. The predecessors created all the moves, and the later generations can only move around in it, but in the end they can't get away from this pattern.

And "Astrology Murder Magic" creates a brand new way of playing on this chessboard.

This is also the reason why this book became a new work of orthodox reasoning in its previous life.

Without Soji Shimada in this world, there would naturally be no new orthodox creation.

One can imagine the impact that Lu Qingfeng brought this book into this world.

Similarly, this book opens up a whole new landscape for mystery writers in this world.

Snow Monster, who is also a competing writer in the event, suddenly posted a Weibo.

"I've been following Mr. Lu's book 'Astrology Murder Magic'. After reading today's chapter, I couldn't sleep all night. I've gained a lot of new ideas in my mind. No matter what the final result of the event is, for me, Mr. Lu's book will always be number one in my heart."

These words made people sigh at the Yeti's magnanimity, and also marvel at Lu Qingfeng's ability to defeat his opponent.

As expected, "Astrology Murder Magic" overturned "Dear, Killing for You" which had been suppressing the popularity and topped the charts that night.

It topped the list with a score of 9.6.

Readers recognize the book, but that doesn't mean the controversy will disappear.

It’s better to say that because it has a bigger name, more people are discussing it.

Literary innovation has always been accompanied by a variety of voices.
