Chapter 1420 Room 515

Zhang Heng quickly integrated into the life of the villa without spending much effort.

During the day, he spent most of his time hunting with Hemingway and his friends, talking about poetry and literature, or listening to Asimov talking about his newly constructed future world. When it comes to science fiction writing, Zhang Heng is definitely not as good as Asimov's, but because he has experienced two copies of the future, the Leaker and the Bodyguard, some of Zhang Heng's descriptions of the future also interested Asimov.

The latter was also planning to bring together all the science fiction writers in the villa to form a small club, and Zhang Heng, who had been with Asimov recently, was fortunate enough to be invited to become the second member of this club.

In addition, Zhang Heng also accidentally got connected with another somewhat strange small group because he solved a burglary case in the villa, although in the end the theft proved to be only directed and performed by that small group.

It was only after Zhang Heng joined there that he learned that cases like this were staged at least once a week and were arranged by different people.

That's right, this club will be the reasoning club.

The Mystery Club was formed by two men and one woman, three master mystery novelists. It was also in this club that Zhang Heng met Conan Doyle again. However, Conan Doyle had no impression of Zhang Heng at all. It was the first time he met Zhang Heng, and he seemed very polite and courteous. However, when he discovered that the reasoning method used by Zhang Heng was actually the deduction method, Conan Doyle became obviously interested, and finally obediently handed over his room number. .

But in this way, Zhang Heng was also sure that the Conan Doyle in front of him was not the same person who gave him the pen he met in the copy of Deduction.

In fact, over the past few months, Zhang Heng had learned all the details about the residents of the villa and the service staff there, but the owner of the villa had never been seen.

A group of bored writers in the Mystery Club were obviously also very interested in this issue. They started researching it earlier than Zhang Heng, and finally came to an astonishing conclusion.

"The owner of the villa is among us."

Opposite Zhang Heng, a lady with a necklace around her neck, blond hair, dignified appearance, and sharp eyes picked up the coffee on the table and smiled.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because if you are the owner of the villa and have spent so much effort gathering all the outstanding authors into one place, it is impossible to miss the excitement that follows. No matter who he is, no matter what his purpose is, at this moment He must be watching us somewhere." The lady wearing the necklace said in a low voice while taking a sip of coffee.

As she said these words, the atmosphere suddenly became terrifying.

Well, who is sitting in front of Zhang Heng is Agatha Christie, the queen of detective novels. Her detective novels such as "Murder on the Orient Express", "Murder on the Nile" and "No Survival" are very popular. According to statistics, in this world Only the Bible and Shakespeare's works sold more than her in the world.

And she is also one of the three leaders of the reasoning club.

But this time, the queen of reasoning was a little mistaken. Perhaps only Zhang Heng in the entire villa knows what the real intention of the owner of the villa is in gathering all the outstanding authors from around the world.

But even if he told Agatha Christie the truth, the other party probably wouldn't believe it, and most likely would think he was too conceited.

However, Zhang Heng really wanted to see the owner here again, not necessarily now, at least before he left this dungeon, and Zhang Heng also had to admit that although the inferences of Agatha and others were a little off, they were not wrong. It makes no sense.

So he humbly asked for advice, "Who do you think is the most likely person in the manor?"

"You." Agatha said without hesitation, "You are the most suspicious, because you are the last one to come, and you live in the last generation. No one here has read your novels, and no one knows you. , we don’t even know whether your identity as a novelist is true or false.”

"…………"

"But," Agatha changed the topic, "I don't think you are like that now. I have also heard about what happened between you and Shakespeare. If you are really the master of this place, there should be no reason why you don't know what kind of virtue he is. , that is to say, you would not provoke him from the beginning, and the clear-cut stand you took as soon as you arrived at the villa is not in line with the identity of the owner of the villa. However, it does not rule out that you did it deliberately when you knew that you were the most suspicious. These things come to confuse our vision, after all, detective novels often end with an unexpected twist."

"What about besides me?"

"Room 515." Agatha thought for a moment and said, "You may have heard about the room on the fifth floor closest to the end of the corridor. The tenants inside have never been seen. Food and water are provided by The waiter here sent it in very mysteriously, but in detective novels, this kind of character is basically a cover-up thrown by the author to attract the public's attention. In comparison, I am still more willing to doubt you. "

"Thank you. If one day I can't hold it any longer and want to confess, I will definitely come to you first." Zhang Heng expressed his gratitude to Agatha and then stood up.

And when he walked to the door of the refreshment room, Agatha's voice came from behind him again.

"It's your turn to set up the mystery game next time. You did a great job on the mysterious Ripper case before, as if you had experienced it yourself. I look forward to your performance again."

After bidding farewell to Agatha, Zhang Heng was invited by a fantasy best-selling female author to attend a discussion on popular novels. Originally, Zhang Heng thought that after his relationship with Shakespeare, he would no longer be invited to similar gatherings, but It turned out that he was overly worried.

Except for the female author who served her before, most of the authors in the manor also appreciated Shakespeare's works and recognized his status in the literary world, but they were far from obedient to his words, and his actions were also inconsistent. Being seen by the people around you.

Although those people were not as tough as Zhang Heng showed, there were many people who were unhappy with him. As a result, no one invited Zhang Heng to a Shakespeare party, but Zhang Heng was invited to a smaller private party between several author friends. Heng's is more than inviting Shakespeare.

As a result, Zhang Heng's writing skills were steadily improving as planned. Although writing is not as easy to train as other abilities, with the help of a group of masters, Zhang Heng's writing skills finally improved after three months. After breaking through level 1, he then wrote two short stories in accordance with Hemingway's requirements and gave them to other authors to comment on, including the highlights and existing problems. Afterwards, Zhang Heng revised them. This is the fastest way to grow.

Let me tell you something, I thought it would be finished today, so I booked a train ticket half a month ago and planned to take a week off. Unexpectedly... I overestimated myself, but the ticket was already booked and I had no choice but to hit the road, so The update may not be stable in the next week. I will try my best to update it once a day. It may also be interrupted for a few days. Please forgive me. I am not sure whether it will be completed on the road or when I come back. I apologize again and wish everyone a National Day. hapiness.
