In the literary and artistic spring and autumn club, Jiumu editor has forgotten the time.

The newcomer's contribution to "After School" is so interesting.

Let’s go through Teacher Aso’s affairs first.

Although it is indeed written, it makes people blush.

However, it was not too much. The key was the plot of the whole book, the reasoning link, and of course, the character creation.

There is more than one murder case in the plot.

The first victim, Mr. Murahashi, is a typical murder in a secret room.

The second one, that is, Mr. Takei was killed, which is obviously different.

The most important thing is the problem of the male protagonist ‘me’.

He is also a goal.

So, what is the truth?

Editor Jiumu did not turn it directly to see the end, but left about 20 pages.

He first made a reasoning himself.

This is the character who appears in this novel.

The male protagonist, me, Maeshima.

The heroine, Keiko Sugida, the main general of the Western Archery Division.

The supporting actress, Yoko Karabata, is a beautiful girl who is interesting to the protagonist.

The supporting actress, Masami Hojo, is a female student with a very good academic and smart mind. She once made secret room reasoning, but it was just incorrect.

The female teacher, Aso, is the character that makes people blush.

The principal, and several teachers, Fujimoto, and Hiro, should be all supporting roles.

As for the police, Otani Detective, he should be a character who confuses readers.

Just like most mystery novels, as long as it is not the protagonist of a certain criminal policeman, then the criminal policeman has this role.

Anyway, the police are useless, otherwise how can the protagonist stand out?

As a professional editor, I have read countless novels, so it is normal for Jiu Mu to have such an idea.

Unless you are a senior mystery novel reader, you will definitely be deceived by this Otani Detective.

So, what is the truth he determined to be when Jiumu, who sorted out these things?

Murderer, Sugita Keiko!

That's right, it should be her.

Although, the two male teachers had almost no entanglement with Keiko Sugida.

However, sometimes mystery novels are like this. The murderer hides deeply and even has nothing to do with the deceased on the surface.

Jiu Mu couldn't help but feel a little proud. The author of this novel is still a newcomer, not as experienced as he did.

However, the key lies in the method of committing the crime.

Editor Jiumu began to flip these last 20 pages...

"Sushida Keiko, you are the murderer, right?"

"Maejima, why do you think so?"

"I can't imagine anyone who can do the death of Takei. Moreover, the previous death of Teacher Murahashi, only you can do that secret room. Even if someone wants to kill me, this is your unfamiliar array."

"Ha... It seems that Maejima has already determined it, so what do I do?"

"Murahashi died in the locker room, this secret room was made with your arrow..."

Here comes the truth!

It's an arrow!

When Jiumu saw this, the murderer happened to be as he thought, and as for this arrow... ah ha!

Clever, really clever.

The first teacher Murahashi was killed. This is a secret room to kill people. So the key is how to complete this secret room.

From the perspective of the male protagonist Maejima, he had an action at that time, which was to see the situation of this secret room from the vent.

Maejima not only saw Mr. Murahashi's body, but also saw something.

A stick was pushed obliquely against the sliding door.

Simply put, from his point of view, the reason why this door was unable to be opened before was because of this stick.

But this stick, like the lock outside the men's locker room, is also a trick.

The one who really resisted the sliding door was an arrow.

The heroine, Keiko Sugida, is the main general of the Sunset Archery Division, her arrows.

What's even more clever is that Keiko Sugida is equivalent to a witness. She and Maeshima knocked the door open. Don't forget that Keiko Sugida had just finished training at this time. She was carrying a quiver, and of course there were many arrows in it.

After breaking open the door, the arrows in the quiver hit the ground.

This is a normal phenomenon.

But this phenomenon made Sugida Keiko hide the truth.

The arrows on the ground were mixed with the arrows that were pushing the door.

At this time, it was impossible for Maejima to pay attention to the details of Sugida Keiko, Murahashi's body was right in front of him.

So, as long as Sugida Keiko picked up the arrow and mixed it with her own arrow, she wouldn't be able to see anything.

In fact, there is another thing that makes Maeshima become Sugida Keiko's "helper".

RB high school uses sliding doors. If you pull the door, of course there will be grooves on the ground.

The kind of arrows used in Western bows and arrows are very slender, but also very tough.

As long as Sugida Keiko is outside and pulls it with a thin rope, she can drop the arrow into the groove, so that the secret room can be completed.

Because the arrow was in the groove, the front island looked through the vent, of course the viewing angle would not be very good, and he would also see a person lying on the ground.

Of course, there is no way to see the arrow that really holds the sliding door in the groove.

Especially with this operation method, Keiko Sugita, the real murderer, has been watching.

Perfect!

Jiumu was amazed at the technique of this secret room.

"Where is the evidence?" Sugida Keiko still had a smile on her face.

Maejima said solemnly: "The development of modern trace science is already very powerful. Although you may have dealt with your arrows, I believe that the arrow feathers of that arrow will definitely retain dust in the groove of the women's locker room sliding door. Just check it, and the tip of the arrow will also leave traces."

When Jiumu saw this, he suddenly thought of some details in the front of the novel.

The male protagonist Maeshima seems to have been targeted and is in danger of life, so Maeshima has learned a lot of research on cases, including traces.

But at this final stage, Maejima already understood that she was not the other party's target, that is, her own various encounters were all a trick, in order to kill Teacher Murahashi and Teacher Takei, especially killing Teacher Takei. It almost made people feel that her target was Maejima.

Comparison before and after.

Very good, very good.

When Kuki read this, he seemed to have watched a mystery drama completely.

Traces is a relatively new thing at the moment. National Geographic Channel in the United States has done a special episode in this regard.

not good!

Suddenly, Jiumu was shocked.

He left more than 20 pages before, and calculated based on the ability of a piece of manuscript paper to write 300 to 350 words.

That is more than 6,000 words.

Jiumu thought this should be enough to finish, but it was not until the end that I realized that something was wrong because I had no motivation to write it!

In mystery novels, it is often not enough to just catch the murderer and crack the killing methods. What is more interesting is the motivation.

But isn't there this novel?

Turned to the last page...

"Thank you, Maejima."

Sugida Keiko only said this.

Then there was nothing.

This is not possible!

Jiumu wanted to scream, and he even wanted to curse.
To be continued...
