"Nine Rules for Reasoning Works"

One, there must be acceptable reasons for both the beginning and the end of the story.

Second, technical errors in killing and execution methods are not allowed.

Third, the characters, work structure, and atmosphere should all be realistic.

Fourth, the rationale of the work should be meticulous, and the story should be interesting.

Fifth, the structure of the work must be simple (the final explanation must be clear and easy to understand).

Sixth, the solution must be achievable.

Seven, puzzle solving or action adventure story can only choose one of them.

Eight, the murderer must have a reasonable outcome.

Nine, be fair to readers (do not hide information).

……

After writing the whole thing, Hiroto Akihara looked at it carefully, then tore off the paper and put it in front of the three people sitting on the other side.

These nine propositions come from Raymond Chandler, who is called "the poet laureate of crime" in the western literary world.

This writer is known as the greatest writer in American history, and even the only master detective in the world who entered the palace of classic literature as a detective and entered the annals of classic literature.

And his writing style and point of view are incompatible with traditional British detectives, and are not too rigid and rigid.

In other words, due to the broadness of the theory, his theory, even after a few decades, is still quite feasible.

After all, what he describes is the rationality of the story design, not those messy framework standards.

However, the nine articles written by Hiroto Akihara are not completely consistent with the original text. In the eighth article, Raymond Chandler originally advocated that the murderer must be punished.

But if he wrote it like this, his adaptation of "Death by Negligence" based on "Manslaughter and Concealed Talk" is undoubtedly not in line.

In this work, the murderer has completely escaped the punishment of the law.

So he revised it slightly, changing it to something like "the murderer must have a reasonable outcome."

After seeing the other three people start to look, Akihara Hiroto said in a polite tone: "It's just a little idea in my creation process, please take a quick look, teachers."

But what he didn't know was that the other three people had no time to pay attention to his words, and instead began to ponder them seriously.

After seeing the specific content, Seto Yuzhi showed a dignified expression on his face, and the smile on Miyagawa Yosuke's face restrained.

As for Kawai Shinta, although there is still a smile on his face, there is no smile in his eyes.

Teacher Akihara, you really surprise people!

In his original plan, Hiroto Akihara only needs to talk about some things casually, and if he is a little reasonable, he will count him as passing the test.

But to his surprise, besides the "nine kinds of tricks", Akihara Hiroto actually proposed these "nine kinds of principles", which stipulated some aspects of reasoning.

For example, the second point, "Technical errors in killing and execution methods are not allowed."

Based on this, the murder method in reasoning should be completely feasible in reality.

However, in recent years, the new Benge works that have emerged continuously have designed a large number of extremely complicated tricks and routines, and many ideas are completely unconstrained.

However, due to the huge number of readers of Benge School, these completely unfeasible tricks are still admired by many people.

In addition, the last article "Be fair to readers (do not hide information)" requires that readers be placed in the same position as detectives, so that readers can enjoy the pleasure of deciphering together with detectives during the reading process.

This alone is beyond the reach of many reasoning.

In order to surprise readers, some inferences often design detectives to discover some evidence that did not exist in the text by accident as a way to solve the murderer.

However, this will undoubtedly make many readers feel fooled.

Hehe looked at it several times with a mentality, then raised his head, and sighed silently in his heart.

This Akihara-san can no longer be simply described by the word "genius", or he should be called a monster!

Akihara Hiroto didn't know what the president of Kawai was thinking, he took a sip from the teacup, and then thought about it in his heart.

According to the lecture given at the home of "Seto Yuzhi", these three seniors probably will ask him questions again.

But after all, he still has something in his mind, and he doesn't worry much even if he is asked a question.

……

Time passed bit by bit, and more than 10 minutes passed quickly, but to Akihara Hiroto's surprise, the other three people had clearly read all the content, but they didn't mean to ask any questions. dignified expression.

Seeing this scene, Akihara Hiroto felt a little uneasy.

Is there something wrong with what I wrote?

Shouldn't it?After all, only very broad guidelines?

Hiroto Akihara was a little puzzled, but he still took the initiative to ask: "Teachers, are there any problems with the nine principles I wrote?"

After hearing Hiroto Akihara's question, Shinta Kawai raised his head and looked at each other with Tamae Seto and Yosuke Miyagawa.

After seeing the dignified eyes of these two old friends, he knew that they were also surprised, or "scared" by Akihara Hiroto's talent, just like himself.

He Hexin thought about it too much, so he took the initiative to cough and speak first.

"Mr. Qiuyuan, I think your nine principles are not bad. So today's test is considered to be passed."

What he said had his own intentions.

In his opinion, Hiroto Akihara is still too young, and his creative time is also too short.

If you praise it hastily, it may make it proud and arrogant.

And he has seen too many geniuses who died halfway because of arrogance and arrogance in the past few decades.

He didn't want Hiroto Akihara to be next.

That's why he took the initiative to take the conversation and said something like "not bad".

When Seto Tamae and Miyagawa Yosuke heard this, they were surprised in their hearts, but they quickly understood Kawai Shinta's plan, so they just nodded in cooperation.

Hiroto Akihara didn't know what the three old foxes were thinking, but he secretly let out a sigh of relief when he heard that he had passed the test.
