This Japanese novel is really interesting.

At home, Stephen King, who had just read the last page, couldn't help but close his eyes and recall the novel he had just read.

It has been a long time since no novel can give me this feeling.

Stephen King himself is a writer who is known for his special narrative techniques and his novel plot is wonderful.

Most of his novels are based on fantasy. Although the work that is most familiar to him in the world is "The Shawshank Redemption", don't forget that there is also "The Shining".

Win by surprise.

This is a trait Stephen King is proud of.

But in fact, your own novel can also be regarded as a mystery novel, especially "The Shawshank Redemption", which is simply a reasoning in novels.

This "The Truth" is very different. If you tell the whole story, you don't seem to be particularly strange when you see it at the end, but there are strange things everywhere in the whole novel.

I couldn't help but read it again.

Stephen King has read it once, and he knows several characteristics of this novel on the surface.

It is the perspective of three characters.

Sato Nariya, Komimen lawyer, and Kichiro Kaga.

In addition, there are three inference processes.

These three processes are very wonderful.

The first one is told by a lawyer from Gumeimen.

"Mr. Sato, as your defense lawyer, this is our first meeting today. Now, we have known each other, so we must achieve good cooperation next."

"Of course, I understand."

"Very good, now, I'll start telling the case."

"good."

Gumeimen lawyers first talked about the case. In fact, this is very common in Stephen King's eyes.

This is the most common "event" in mystery novels. When a case occurs, you must first understand that it is not.

Although Officer Kaga had briefly told me before, now he is a lawyer from Komimen.

"I won't talk about the unimportant details. You met Miss Yoko in Hakone at Lake Ashinoko, right?"

"That's right."

"After visiting Lake Ashi, you went to Koyuya."

"yes."

"After the trip, you returned to Tokyo and rested in a hotel near Nihonbashi. This hotel-style man rented it before."

“That’s right.”

"What happened afterward?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"Because from the current case investigation, after the police rushed into the room, they only saw Miss Yoko's body and you, and the weapon has been found, and it is full of your fingerprints. So, from these aspects, the murderer must be you."

"Gumeimen Lawyer, are you here to help me?"

"Of course, but I have to understand the details at that time."

"I……"

"Mr. Sato, I have a medical examination report from Miss Yoko. She is already terminally ill. You should know that, right?"

"Of course, of course I know, so I have no reason to kill her!"

"So, what are the details?"

If there are only these novels, then this is a very common mystery novel, and it is a classic secret room murder.

Even the next communication between Komimen lawyer and Sato was done in the classic direction of killing people in this secret room.

They are looking for a 'murderer' who should' appear.

It’s like killing people in the secret room. Since it is assumed that the real murderer is not the most serious suspect, Sato, there should be a real murderer. He must have entered the room of this hotel.

Generally, such mystery novels are used to create secret rooms and enter secret rooms as the key to solving puzzles.

So, is there such a person?

An interesting situation occurred. Sato didn't know that there was such a person, at least he had never seen him in the room, and he said so himself.

But Gu Meimen kept inducing him in this direction.

This is also easy to understand, because as long as you find such a person, Sato will be innocent.

Unfortunately, it seems that in Sato, it is impossible to provide key evidence or even powerful information.

If this development continues, it seems that there is no solution to killing people in this secret room.

The murderer is Sato.

So, what should I do?

When he saw this, Stephen King also felt a little strange, but he knew that there should be new evidence to appear.

really.

Gu Meimen is worthy of being an undefeated lawyer, and he put forward a new clue.

"Yamada Hayato, does this name have any impression?"

"who?"

"Mr. Sato, I'm here to help you. Please don't even have such disguise in front of me."

"But I really..."

"Mr. Sato, sorry, then let's end our conversation."

Komimen mentioned this Yamada Hayato, but Sato didn't want to be related to this name at all.

It was not until Komimen was about to leave that Sato was a little panicked.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Gumimen, I know this person, but I promise that I have very little business dealings with this person."

Here comes!

There is a new clue, but it can be seen that Sato still doesn't want to be related to this Yamada.

Why?

"Mr. Sato knew this, right?"

"Um."

"So, I understand Mr. Sato's performance just now."

"Thank you."

"But, although Yamada Hayato is missing, he still has his parents, especially his father, come and see these."

After saying that, Gu Meimen took out a few photos from his briefcase.

The Nippon Bridge is quite special, with a statue of a Kirin on it.

This Kirin statue is very storytelling in Japan, representing Japan's rise. Moreover, the highest award at the Tokyo International Film Festival is called the Sakura Award, but also called the Golden Kirin Award. The trophy is created with this Kirin as the image.

And in the photo, this Qilin appears.

In other words, Yamada's father is near Nihonbashi.

So……

"It's him!"

"It can only be said that it is possible."

Come out.

When Stephen King saw this, he could almost make a whole set of reasoning, which means that the whole story should be complete.

This is likely a story of murder and revenge.

Sato and the two of them are likely to be related to Yamada Hayato's disappearance, and the specific situation is still unknown.

However, Yamada has family and his father wants to take revenge.

So, after following Sato and the two of them, they should have had a happy trip. As a result, Yamada's father found an opportunity to enter this secret room, or turn the room in the hotel into a secret room, and then commit murder.

The real murderer should be the father, and he created this secret room.

According to general mystery novels, the next step is to crack this secret room, so that Sato's innocence can be proved.

Wait, Gu Meimen is not a detective, he is a lawyer, so...

"Mr. Sato, there is not enough evidence to prove that Mr. Masahiko Yamada, that is, Yamada Hayato's father, has entered your room, but this matter is left to the police. What we need to do now is to impress the judge.
To be continued...
