Chapter 58 Drama Club Incident

The four people continued their discussion on the pros and cons and role of the island model in detective novels:

"It is not impossible to introduce fantasy elements into detective novels."

"Specific elements do not actually interfere with the progress of detective novels. Fantasy or technological elements are actually just background elements."

"The traditional core of detective mystery novels is to solve the flow of events, that is, to solve puzzles."

The female president with a high ponytail shook her finger:

"I prefer this traditional school, which gives readers and detective protagonists the same clues and intelligence. If fantasy elements are used in this genre, as long as they are introduced appropriately, these fantasy elements can be confirmed step by step from the perspective of the detective as ' 'actually exist', and to a certain extent explain the principle, for example."

She said, opening a book on the table:

"In the form of folklore, the legend of a certain place is like this, as long as you go to a certain special place at a certain time, something will happen."

"Step by step, render the authenticity of this folklore in the plot, and even directly observe the occurrence of this thing from a detective perspective."

"This is also a way to make up for the gap brought by modern scientific and technological levels."

"The core of the traditional school is to solve puzzles. As long as the plot is well explained, there is no problem in introducing fantasy elements."

As she said, she puffed up her chest with a proud look.

At this time, another girl said:

"Sister Ma, the traditional school has too high requirements for the author's writing skills. Let's forget it. Jiang Jing can't write it."

Yao Yan listened silently. The president of this literary club is called Yu Yu. Mu Zhongheng's previous classmate, Yu Qing, is her sister.

Mu Zhongheng, who originally planned to join the photography club, came into contact with this literary club for this reason and then joined.

However, because of the name "Sister Ma" derived from "啟啟", Mu Zhongheng did not dare to use it.

Yao Yan, who intended to play the role of Mu Zhongheng, naturally inherited the name that Mu Zhongheng was used to:

"President, without enough life experience, it is better to choose the daily faction as the target."

The daily faction, as the name suggests, is a detective reasoning that uses non-criminal problems encountered in daily life as the object of the puzzle.

Yao Yan imitated Mu Zhongheng's habit and laughed:

"For example, Yu Qing found that the ice cream she had put in the refrigerator was missing. After various clues, she found that it was you, the president, who stole the ice cream."

Hearing this, Yu Yu coughed:

"That was a frame-up. It can't be considered cheating between twin sisters."

However, at this moment, another boy who was also laughing next to him seemed to suddenly remember something and said to another girl:

"By the way, Haiqin, what was the book you read last time? The one with ice cream?"

"Ice cream?"

The short-haired girl named Haiqin thought for a while, and then suddenly said:

"Oh, you mean the book "Detective"?

The conversation between the two attracted the attention of Yao Yan and Yu Yu. Because his embarrassing story was exposed by his twin sister and he was teased, Yu Yu, who urgently needed to change the subject, asked directly:

"Detective"? Is it the realistic one? "

"Yes."

The short-haired girl Haiqin nodded:

"In modern background, I prefer this kind of realistic one to all kinds of detectives with super intelligence."

"That's right. In modern background, the police criminal investigation force is the most capable detective. Being too smart sometimes makes people seem too deliberate."

"Speaking of which, there are quite a few detective reasoning novels that directly use criminal investigation police officers or forensic doctors as the protagonists."

Yu Yu seemed to remember something:

"The detective's opponent can be set with other police officers as the target. For example, a team decides to temporarily transfer and replace the police protagonist who is currently investigating the case and looking for clues. From this, the time is limited and tension is created."

As she said, she asked:

"Is there such a plot in "Detective"? "

"No." Haiqin didn't say anything, and the boy on the other side responded.

"Shut up, Jiang Jing, go away." Yu Yu responded immediately, "Hurry up and get your script out. Also, no spy scripts."

"Sister Yu, you are discriminating against the spy faction!" The boy, Jiang Jing, raised his hand with a stern face, as if protesting.

"Spy novels cannot be considered detective novels, go away~"

Yu Yu smiled and waved his hand, and turned to ask Yao Yan:

"Old Mu, aren't you right?"

"Brother, you should speak with conscience. Aren't there also criminals and detectives in detective novels? The spy and counter-spy part of spy novels is also of the same type~ You have to make the decision for me~ Sister Yu is bullying me"

This acting major Jiang Jing's acting skills have obviously improved. He looked sad and angry, shouted in exaggerated movements, and even squeezed out tears from the corners of his eyes.

However, Yao Yan had no emotions.

If it were the former self, if he encountered this situation, maybe he would laugh and play together?

Unfortunately, there is no if.

Yao Yan imitated Mu Zhongheng's character and smiled like a bad friend:

"Hehe~ Of course I dare to choose to support the president~"

"People are not as good as they used to be, and they forget their loyalty when they see beauty!"

Jiang Jing, who was in a state of drama, shouted this sentence in grief and anger, and was stopped by the president:

"Stop, stop, stop, why do you always make fun of me!"

With her ponytail swaying behind her head, the president Yu Yu laughed and cursed, and then she seemed to remember something and said:

"By the way, I heard that something happened in the drama club? Do you want to go and see it together?"

"Drama club?"

Haiqin, Jiang Jing and Mu Zhongheng, who Yao Yan was living with, all looked at her.

"Yes, when I was talking to the president of the drama club at the meeting yesterday, he said that the props of their drama club were destroyed by someone, and he didn't know why, it was inexplicable."

Yu Yu talked freely, then blinked and looked at them:

"How about it, do you want to go and have a look? Three detectives, gentlemen and ladies?"

"Ahem, for such a small matter, Mr. Jiang, the famous detective, of course--" Jiang Jing pulled at his non-existent tie and pretended to be pretentious.

"Go." The short-haired girl Haiqin raised her hand briefly and clearly.

"Add me." Yao Yan also spoke up.

Yu Yu's eyes were fixed on Jiang Jing's face, who was trying to figure out his tone:

"How about it? Mr. Detective, if you go, you can extend the time to write the script by one day~"

"Go!" Jiang Jing patted his chest righteously, "My detective instinct won't let me escape."

"Hahaha, sure, sure."

The dramatic performance made Yu Yu laugh out loud, and then she threw down the book in her hand, left the chair, and ran to the door:

"Whoever moves the slowest will lock the door!"

As he said that, he ran out of the door in a flash.

The other two people were not slow either, only Yao Yan was "slightly slower".

However, no one saw his scrutinizing eyes, and the crow coin in his palm:

Drama club? Unknown sabotage?

However, the eyes only flashed, and then, a voice that matched Mu Zhongheng's personality very well shouted:

"You have to give me the key to lock the door! President!"
