Chapter 633 Trapped in the world of novels
Sun Guoming is a graduate student in electrical engineering at the Technical University of Munich, which is the leading university in Germany's science and engineering.
It has been more than a year since I came here to study abroad, and Sun Guoming still misses his family very much.
When he heard that Zhang Chu's works at the Frankfurt Book Fair would be held in a global press conference, he specially invited two friends who also love reading to come over.
I took the train for almost three hours last night and found that the entire city's hotels were almost full. Finally, they searched for a long time before they found a bed in the youth hostel to sleep.
Now I come here to queue up early in the morning to get the first look at the content in "Da Vinci Code"!
Over the past year, Sun Guoming has seen news about Zhang Chu on his WeChat Moments and Weibo, and even if he is in Munich, many media have reported on it.
Originally, he didn't like reading very much, but since he watched "Ghost Blows Out the Light", he has been in a trap. Now he just happened to come to support him because he is not too far away!
As far as he knows, there are many fans of Zhang Chu among the international students in Germany, France and the UK, and many of them come here specifically.
Zhang Chu is not just attracting Chinese students. There are many foreigners in this long queue, and they are queuing up without seeing the end at first sight.
"There are so many people, can we line up?" Pang Yuan, who was traveling with him, looked worried.
Sun Guoming shrugged and said, "It should be possible, you see, there is still such a long team behind us!"
The press conference is expected to start at 9:30, but now it is still more than ten minutes away from 9:00. The reporters carrying cameras and cameras have already entered one after another.
The huge poster outside was particularly attractive, and Sun Guoming took out his cell phone and took a happy shot.
Song Xiangwen looked around. He actually knew that there was such a young Chinese writer, but he didn't expect that this guy would have such a high popularity when he came to Germany.
The young Europeans around them seemed to be not irritable, and they were also pointing at the posters and promotional videos on the LED display.
"Is Zhang Chu so influential? I discovered the first time that Chinese writers can eat well in Europe!"
Sun Guoming explained proudly: "Zhang Chu is very awesome. His first film was "Detective Sherlock", which was the filmed by BB. Later, "The Fantasy Drift of Pi" also won the literary award in the UK. Now, "The Da Vinci Code" has a price of 12 million pounds."
"Hehehe, stop talking, look at what the staff members are sending out."
"This is the free trial book of "Da Vinci Code", you can choose one of three languages to do it."
"I want the Chinese version, thank you."
Song Xiangwen and others chose their native languages, but the rest of the readers who lined up had their opinions!
"Why is there no German version?"
“I feel that my English level is a bit low.”
"What are these German publishers doing when there is French but not German?"
"I'm so disrespectful to us readers!"
Not every European uses English fluently, so this is indeed a big problem.
But no matter how much they complain, they still chose English in the three versions of Chinese, English and French. At least most words can be barely understood!
After a while, the vast team became extremely quiet.
They all looked down at the trial book "The Da Vinci Code" in their hands, and were in no mood to pay attention to the rest.
This scene was photographed by reporters and passers-by and posted to the Internet.
Sun Guoming first looked at the catalog, and there were only ten chapters of content that were not enough to read!
"The Xunshan Secretary Order is so powerful? It has been established for almost a thousand years. Newton, Hugo, and Leonardo da Vinci are actually members of this Secretary Order?"
After seeing the initial introduction, Sun Guoming realized that the Da Vinci code must have a huge relationship with the Xunshan Secretariat and the Catholic Church!
There are only a few short lines of words here, and I quickly finished reading and turned to the next page. In this wedge, the director of the Louvre failed as soon as he came out and was killed in the museum.
Although he didn't know why the security of this museum was so poor, the security guards or high-tech anti-theft facilities seemed to be missing in the middle of the night, the huge suspense still arose in his heart.
Who killed the director?
What is the secret that this curator keeps with his life?
Trapped in the art gallery, the director, although he was on the verge of death, wanted to pass on the message of the murderer and the secret he kept. He specially named the world's famous paintings, which made Sun Guoming understand that the director's secret may be hidden in the famous paintings of Da Vinci, otherwise why is it called Da Vinci's password?
But after Sun Guoming turned another page, he was in a bad mood.
He thought he would tell the story of what last words the director left behind, but Zhang Chu directly faced the picture to another place, and the protagonist Professor Yang Xuan made a brilliant appearance!
"Yanjing University Professor of Religious Semiotics... Is there really this school?" Sun Guoming wanted to complain. Professor Yang Xuan was not a young man, but a middle-aged man with gray hair, which surprised him again.
The police found Yang Xuan because of the murder of the Louvre curator because he planned to meet the director tonight, but the pigeon was released.
When Yang Xuan saw this photo of the director's body, he was surprised. He thought it was deliberately arranged by the murderer, but he never expected that it was the director Sonyer himself.
"Okay, the next thing is to go to the murder scene. There must be a lot of clues revealed there, so you have to take a closer look."
Sun Guoming is an old bookworm. He knows very well that detectives are suspense and thrilling when describing the murder scene, all kinds of clues emerge. It may be a simple sentence or a simple item, and it will be the key to solving the case in the following text!
However, this time he was teased by Zhang Chu again. This guy changed his perspective again and put the content of Chapter 2 on the murderer!
The content of the three chapters, three different perspectives, and the time difference is within one hour. The change in this angle really tests the readers' overall conception ability.
The murderer also has other people behind it, as if they were coming for the architecture of the Monks. The architecture hidden in the Church of St. Sylpis seems to have an inexplicable attraction to the forces behind the murderer.
What surprised Sun Guoming the most was that he probably had the murderer. Combined with the previous article, the special introduction to Catholicism and the sentence "Just in God's sanctuary, they really can mock us", which almost clearly shows that the murderer is a person who believes in God!
But the following plot confirmed his speculation that the murderer turned into an ascetic, who self-harmds himself like a mental illness, and also called physical asceticism.
The beginning is full of fog, and the readers still get too little information, which makes it impossible for them to draw conclusions for the time being!
In the long queue, almost no one talks and chats, everyone is immersed in the world.
