In fact, the plot of "Malicious" is not complicated.

The novel is told in the form of notes, starting from the perspectives of novelist Osamu Nonoguchi and police officer Kaga Kyouichiro respectively, telling the story of the accidental death of writer Hidaka Kunihiko the night before going abroad.

The police officer responsible for investigating the case is named Kyouichiro Kaga.

During the investigation, the police officer gradually determined that Osamu Nonoguchi was the murderer.

Osamu Nonoguchi admitted that he was the murderer, but was still unwilling to explain his motive for the crime.

then.

Kaga finally discovered Nonoguchi Osamu’s difficulties during the investigation——

It turns out that Osamu Nonoguchi had an affair with Hidaka's first wife Hatsumi, who died in a car accident. Hidaka caught the evidence and was forced to be Hidaka's shadow writer for seven years.

That is to say:

Hidaka, a so-called famous novelist, has actually been looking for a ghostwriter, and this ghostwriter is Osamu Nonoguchi.

In other words.

The murderer Osamu Nonoguchi is the real victim.

He didn't want to tell the truth to protect Hatsumi's reputation.

The editor-in-chief of the mystery department of Nathan Publishing House commented that "Malice" is a second-rate mystery novel after seeing this.

In fact.

If you don't see the subsequent plot twist, "Malevolence" really won't be that exciting.

However.

most of the time.

People are easily misled by preconceived psychological effects.

At the beginning of the story, Osamu Nonoguchi tells the story about Hidaka during his lifetime.

In order to successfully rent out the house, Rigao killed the neighbor's cat, thus preliminarily portraying Rigao's cruel side to the readers.

And after Nonoguchi’s murder was discovered by the police, the motive for the murder was revealed——

Nonoguchi once had a private meeting with Hidaka's ex-wife, Hatsumi, which was discovered and recorded by Hidaka. In order to protect Hatsumi, Nonoguchi was forced to be Hidaka's shadow writer for seven years. Most of Hidaka's books today are written by Nonoguchi.

made.

This created a hypocritical and terrible image of Hidaka Kunihiko.

Readers have their own understanding of the characters after preconceptions.

But the last paragraph.

The perspective of the story suddenly shifts from Nonoguchi's notes to Kaga's case records:

In fact, Nonoguchi’s diary was deliberately written for the police to see!

The criminal certificate left behind was also forged before!

The affair with Hatsumi is false!

The books published by Hidaka were not written by Nonoguchi!

Rigao didn’t even kill the cat!

Nonoguchi lied from beginning to end!

Because Osamu Nonoguchi’s diary is full of warmth and touching, Nonoguchi successfully deceived the police in the early stage.

The author also deceived the readers.

"This novel was originally written in the first person, that is, the case was described based on the life of the protagonist Osamu Nonoguchi. But if it hadn't been switched to the police officer's perspective at the end, who would have thought that 'I' in the story was actually talking about a person?

Big lie!"

The deputy editor-in-chief of Nathan Publishing House was a little excited.

It has nothing to do with the publishing house. This is an editor who has studied mystery novels for many years and surrenders to the creative talent of Hou Hou!

beside.

The mystery editor who was flipping through the final plot also looked a little dazed and murmured:

"Yeah, who would have thought that I would be lying all the time in the story? Hou Yehou adopted a flip-flop writing method, and at the end, he gave a completely subversive description of the characters of Osamu Nonoguchi and Hidaka..."

In fact, Hidaka is an upright, kind-hearted and even a great writer.

And Shumi Nonoguchi is a guy who tells lies and has malicious intentions. He is indeed the murderer, but the motives for the murder are all made up. This is the origin of the title of the book. The reason why he killed Hidaka is very simple, it was out of malice!

Human malice!

You must know that Nonoguchi and Hidaka have known each other for a long time.

The two have had a close relationship since they were in middle school.

Nonoguchi succumbed to school violence and bullied others with bad boys.

But the upright and kind-hearted Rigao never gave in, but worked hard to fight against school violence.

The two men also dreamed of writing, but the gap became more obvious after they reached adulthood. Hidaka became a famous and excellent writer, but Nonoguchi's works were always difficult to publish.

It's not just a gap in ability.

It’s also the difference between people.

The flame of jealousy burned Nonoguchi's heart, so that after brutally murdering Hidaka, he only pretended to cover up his crime, but in fact secretly provided clues to the police, misleading the police step by step, because the person Nonoguchi wanted to kill was never

It's not just Hidaka.

But Rigao’s personality and reputation!

Because I was suffering from cancer and was about to die, I couldn't tolerate Rigao's glamorous life, so I tried my best to destroy Rigao. This maliciousness is really frightening!

"We don't want to know this!"

The leaders of Nathan Publishing House became more and more irritated as they listened, "We just want to know if this novel will be a hit?"

"certain."

The reasoning editor and deputy editor looked at each other, then nodded affirmatively.

Some of the top leaders of Nathan Publishing House wiped their eyes, while others patted their heads, looking annoyed and helpless.

Why did a good money-making machine go to Shinhwa Publishing House?

…

The judgment of professionals is generally not much different. "Malevolence" is indeed a hit and sold very well on the first day.

The sales were even better the next day.

Because the reputation of the academy has spread.

"This is the first time I read Yehou's novel. I have only seen his TV series before. I didn't expect that Yehou's novels are more exciting than the TV series. The twist at the end made me say "F*ck!"

“The ending is really awesome!”

"I don't want to spoil anything, but I recommend that all mystery lovers must read this book. Bu Yehou's writing style is amazing!"

"This is Bu Yehou's novel with the highest technical content!"

"This book gave me a more dark feeling. The malicious killing was not the most stimulating to me. What irritated me the most was the shocking twist at the end!"

"Unprovoked malice is the greatest malice!"

"The scariest mystery novel I have ever read. There are no thrilling plots or cruel methods of committing crimes. The most chilling thing down the spine is actually the human heart!"

"The way to destroy a person is not to end his life, but to completely destroy his reputation and future."

"The angle of the group interview at the end of the novel is really spicy. From everyone's mouth, I heard two people, Nonoguchi and Hidaka, who are completely opposite to what the previous readers knew!"

"He never thought that such evil could exist in this world!"

Many casual readers actually consider whether to buy some works based on their reputation.

Now the word of mouth is out.

It can be said that "Malevolence" has received rave reviews.

Now everyone no longer hesitated and donated generously.

…

the other side.

Professional book reviews are also out.

"To completely destroy a person is to ruin his reputation. Only after reading "Malevolence" can you truly know the Night Hou."

"Compared with the dazzling identity of a screenwriter, we have almost forgotten how good a writer Everhou is. Fortunately, the book "Malevolence" has made the label of a writer shine brightly in Everhou."
