Chapter 233 Using Fiction to Solve Cases and Pre-reading

Late at night, Meteor Book Bar.

The bedroom on the second floor was lit with white lights. Yuxin was wearing a light blue pajamas and sitting in front of her laptop, dealing with the financial documents of Bohai Bookstore.

Yuxin is now the deputy general manager of Bohai Bookstore, and is also in charge of the entire bookstore's finances.In the past year, one-third of the hundreds of star-rated novels produced in the Black Shadow Man Cup Essay Contest were sold by Bohai Book City, which increased the book city's turnover by more than ten times.

The funds flowing through Yuxin's hands exceed 8000 million yuan every month, almost 10 billion yuan a year.Liu Xing was really worried if someone else was responsible for such a large amount of funds, so he handed it over to Yuxin for management.

In addition to being in charge of the finances of Bohai Bookstore, Yuxin is also basically in charge of the finances of Meteor Book Bar. At the same time, she is also in charge of the operation of the essay competition funds.

In view of Yuxin's excellent work ability, she was promoted as a committee member of Fiction Street two months ago, mainly responsible for the finance and marketing of Fiction Street.
Recently, the sales of Black Shadow Man's novels have been extremely hot, and there are a lot of things that need to be busy. Yuxin often has to work overtime at night.
"call--"

After stretching herself, Yuxin let out a long sigh of relief, she finally finished her work.

Holding her snow-white chin with both hands, her eyes fell on a pink purse on the table. Inside the purse were a few tulip petals, which were given to her by the Shadowman in Baihua Mountain last year.

Several different tulip petals are mixed together to form a unique tulip aroma. Yuxin likes this aroma very much, so she puts her purse on the bedroom desk, and she can fall asleep with this aroma every night.

Stretching out her little hand, Yuxin picked up the purse, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it lightly, Liu Mei couldn't help but slightly frowned.

The petals in the purse have been stored for more than a year, and the aroma of the tulips is getting weaker and weaker, almost disappearing.

After realizing this problem, Yuxin inexplicably felt a little lost, bit her lower lip lightly, and became dazed.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the bedroom was as quiet as water.

Snapped!
Suddenly, a foreign object flew over from the side and landed on the desk in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a golden purse.

When the purse dropped, a familiar smell of tulips filled the air immediately...

Yuxin picked up the golden purse and smelled it lightly, the fragrance really came from the purse.

"Where did this purse come from?"

Yuxin turned her head to look, only to find that there was a man in black sitting by the bedroom window, wrapped in a black cloth.After a brief trance, she realized that it was the shadow man who had appeared.

Standing up, Yuxin walked to the window and asked softly, "When did you come?"

"Just arrived." Liu Xing replied.
Yuxin held the golden purse and asked, "Is this purse a gift for me?"

Liu Xing nodded.

Yuxin was curious: "Why did you suddenly give me a gift?"

Liu Xing got straight to the point: "There is something I want to ask for your help."

"Are you kidding me?" Yuxin said, "Your black shadow man has great powers, what can I, a weak woman, do for you?"

"The ruler is shorter, but the inch is longer. Even the petals of tulips have irreplaceable value." Liu Xing joked, "No matter how you say it, you are better than the petals, right?"
Yuxin covered her mouth and smiled, and asked strangely: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Recently, beauties have been missing in several cities in the east. The number of missing people has reached 105. They must have been kidnapped." Liu Xing said, "In order to find these kidnappers, I want you to act as a bait to attract kidnappers to show up."

Yuxin understood immediately: "Why did you choose me?"

"The 105 kidnapped women have many common characteristics, such as pure looks, professional women, and certain popularity, etc. You just fit these characteristics." Liu Xing said, "If you agree to be a bait, I will secretly protect you and make sure you personal safety."
Yuxin thought for a while: "Is there really no danger?"

Liu Xing said: "Don't worry, if you really have any troubles, I will take responsibility for you."

Yuxin smiled lightly and thought about it for a while: "What should I do specifically?"

"You go to Qingxi City tomorrow..."

According to the kidnapping cases that have occurred in recent days, the cities where the kidnappers commit crimes are different each time.After committing crimes in one city, the next day they will definitely commit crimes in another city.It is precisely because the kidnappers always shoot and change places, which greatly increases the difficulty of police tracing.

So far, there have been four cities where beauties have disappeared, and the fifth case of disappearance should appear in the fifth city.

According to the information obtained by the police, there are more than a dozen cities that may become the location for the kidnappers to commit crimes, and Qingxi City is one of them.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Yuxin left Tianhai City in her sports car and went to Qingxi City alone.

Qingxi City is only 200 kilometers away from Tianhai City, and they arrived smoothly at noon.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuxin, as a committee member of Fiction Street, held an event for the opening of a large bookstore in the commercial street of Qingxi City, and accepted an exclusive interview with the local TV station.In the evening, she attended a dinner held by the Qingxi City Booksellers Association, and she tossed until late at night.

Twelve midnight.

On a deserted street in Qingxi City, Yuxin in business attire walked alone.

According to the police, more than half of the 105 kidnapped beauties were strong women.Yuxin attended a business event today and accepted a TV interview. If the kidnapper is in Qingxi City, then she is very likely to be targeted.

Yuxin came out tonight as a bait. It was the first time she did this kind of thing, and she was a little nervous at first, but she just thought that the shadow man would secretly protect her, so she calmed down.

The street was empty at midnight, and Yuxin walked around for half an hour, but nothing happened.

"Why hasn't the kidnapper shown up yet?"

While thinking to herself, Yuxin looked around for traces of the kidnappers.

Suddenly, at the entrance of an alleyway ahead, a white figure appeared, a young woman in white clothes.

Yuxin made a careful distinction, and unexpectedly found that the woman in white was actually an acquaintance, and it was Hua Yingxue.

Hua Yingxue once went to Meteor Book Bar to sign up for the Black Shadow Man Cup Essay Contest, and Yuxin met her once.
"Yingxue, what a coincidence!" Yuxin was surprised.

After the two greeted each other, Hua Yingxue stepped forward and reminded in a low voice, "Yu Xin, beautiful women have disappeared in many cities recently, it's too dangerous for you to walk on the street in the middle of the night."

Yuxin was puzzled, "If that's the case, why are you here?"

Hua Yingxue said: "I'm here to investigate this case of disappearance."

"Investigate the case?" Yuxin was a little confused, "Aren't you a writer, why are you in charge of investigating the case?"

Hua Yingxue explained: "The Lianhuashu Police Force needed the cooperation of a writer to investigate the disappearance case, so they found me..."

It turned out that Hua Yingxue's method of investigating cases was to write novels.

105 women have disappeared in the kidnapping case. The police have not found any effective clues to solve the case, nor do they know where the kidnappers will commit the next crime. It is difficult to make breakthroughs with ordinary criminal investigation methods.

Therefore, the Lianhuashu police force is going to adopt a special method to solve the case-writing mystery novels.

If the recent case of the disappearance of a beautiful woman is written as a mystery novel, then a master of reading skills can use the pre-reading technique to predict the future plot of the mystery novel, thereby judging the kidnapper's next crime plan, and even predicting the kidnapper's final fate.

At that time, the police can plan in advance based on the predicted information to hunt down the kidnappers.

Of course, it is not enough to write a mystery novel about the disappearance of a beautiful woman to solve the case. A mystery novel that can be used to solve the case needs to meet two requirements.

First, the novel must conform to the circumstances of the case of the missing beauty.Second, the novel has a very high level of creation.

The higher the quality of the novel, the higher the accuracy of pre-reading.

Hua Yingxue is one of the top ten writers in the novel competition, so the Lianhua Book Police Force invited Hua Yingxue to write this mystery novel.

In order to write a good novel, Hua Yingxue specially came to Qingxi City for a field trip to collect more creative materials.In the past three days, she has been wandering around Qingxi City, looking for evidence of the kidnapper's crime.
"Yingxue, you are so courageous, a girl came here to investigate the case by herself."

"I'll keep in touch with the book police team at any time, and nothing will happen. Unfortunately, after three days of tossing around, the kidnappers haven't shown up yet." Hua Yingxue asked again, "By the way, Yuxin, why are you also in Qingxi City?"
Yuxin said: "I just participated in a business event, and I'm planning to find a hotel to rest."

"There don't seem to be any hotels nearby." Hua Yingxue suggested, "If you don't mind, how about going to my rental house?"

"convenient?"

"No inconvenience. My rental house is nearby, let's go."

So, the two walked together and left together.

Ten minutes later, they came to a residential area in the DC area of ​​Qingxi City and lived in a rental house rented by Hua Yingxue.

The rental house is an ordinary private house, with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, fully furnished.

When they arrived at the rental house, the two of them sat on the head of the bed together after washing, preparing to rest.Before the break, Hua Yingxue turned on her laptop, preparing to write her experience today into a mystery novel, the name of the novel is "The Missing Case of the Goddess of the Shadow Man".

This novel tells the story of the shadow man cracking the disappearance of the goddess.
"Yingxue, can this mystery novel really solve the case?" Yuxin asked curiously.

"I don't know either, this is a brand-new mode of solving crimes, and it is in the stage of exploration." Hua Yingxue explained, "The captain of the Lianhua Book Police Force told me that if the novel is well written, masters of reading can use it. The pre-reading technique predicts the subsequent plot of the novel. Therefore, I am only responsible for writing the novel, and the rest is left to the pre-reading master.”

After finishing the novel, Hua Yingxue and Yuxin turned off the lights and went to rest.

Whoosh!
When the two beauties were sleeping soundly, a black shadow suddenly flew in from the window and landed lightly.

After Yuxin came to Qingxi City, Liu Xing secretly protected her and followed her all the way to this rental house.
Liu Xing walked to the bed, started Hua Yingxue's laptop, and opened the novel manuscript of "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Shadow Man".

At present, the manuscript has only written about 10 words in total. Liu Xing pulled the manuscript from beginning to end and scanned it with a book eye.

[Book Title] "The Disappearance Case of the Goddess of the Shadow Man"

[Type] Documentary Fiction

【Grade】Three-star
[Matching degree] 21.5%
"Fiction fiction?"

Liu Xing was a little surprised. Hua Yingxue's "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Shadow Man" was originally positioned as a mystery novel, but her writing materials were provided by the book police team. The novel was written very realistically, so it became a documentary Fiction.

Since it is a documentary novel, it means that the plot in the novel is consistent with the events in real life.

Whatever plots appear in the novel, similar events should happen in real life.

In this way, as long as you can predict the follow-up plot of "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Shadow Man", it is tantamount to predicting the progress of future cases in real life.

There is only one beginning of this novel, and it has not been finished yet. It is necessary to use the pre-reading technique to guess the subsequent plot.

Liu Xing didn't understand pre-reading skills, so he decided to ask Lin Shishi, who is proficient in pre-reading skills, for help.

Through the computer network, Liu Xing sent the manuscript of "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Shadow Man" to Lin Shishi.

After receiving the manuscript, Lin Shishi immediately read the novel and used the pre-reading technique to guess the plot of the novel.

after an hour.

Lin Shishi got in touch with Liu Xing.

"Brother Sombra, I have finished reading all the updated chapters of the novel "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Sombra Man." Lin Shishi said, "According to the current plot of the novel, I think the kidnappers should appear in Qingxi City. "

Liu Xing asked: "When will it appear?"

"The current novel has too few words and limited information, so I can't estimate the time right now." Lin Shishi said, "I can only predict that the kidnapper will appear soon, and the place of appearance should be related to music."

"Music? Why?"

"In the novel "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Shadow Man", Hua Yingxue is an important female character who plays an important role in the plot of the novel." Lin Shishi analyzed, "Hua Yingxue is a music-loving woman. People, according to my intuition from reading mystery novels for many years, I think the kidnappers will also appear in places related to music. For example, concert halls, bars, etc., you can pay attention to these places."

Liu Xing asked: "However, the kidnapper committed the crime and Hua Yingxue liked music. There seems to be no logical relationship between the two before?"

Lin Shishi said with a smile: "The pre-reading technique is not based on logic, otherwise, it is no different from ordinary criminal investigation methods. The pre-reading technique is an illogical intuition formed by the reader after a large number of readings. This intuition is a perceptual prediction of comprehensive information, it has no analysis process, only the result, similar to the 'inspiration' in creation."

After a pause, Lin Shi continued, "I just used the pre-reading technique to repeatedly read "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Shadow Man", and my intuition tells me that the kidnapper is most likely to appear in a concert hall or bar. You can let Yuxin Go to a nearby concert hall or bar with Hua Yingxue, the possibility of the kidnapper appearing is very high."

Liu Xing confirmed, "How accurate is your prediction?"

Lin Shishi thought for a while: "About 70%." He added, "If the novel has more words, my prediction will be more accurate."

"70%?"

As long as you go to the concert halls and bars near Qingxi City, there is a [-]% chance of catching the kidnappers. This is undoubtedly worth trying.

After all, the police have yet to make any progress on the kidnapping case.

"Go to the bar tomorrow." Liu Xing made a temporary decision.
