Ye Ruoshui went up to the third floor to look for Fenghuang's study. The author's study has always been the most desired holy place for readers. Ye Ruoshui was also curious about what the world-famous Fenghuang study would look like. In the study, he happened to see Fenghuang crouching at the table. .
Phoenix heard the movement and raised his eyebrows. "This is sister Ye Ruoshui, please come in."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you." Ye Ruoshui apologized, fearing that he would interrupt Phoenix's train of thought.
¡°If I write a book, I will lock both doors from the inside, and no one will disturb me.¡± Phoenix signaled.
Only then did Ye Ruoshui notice that her study was very large, with two rooms at the front and back, covering an area of ??about ten square meters. Outside was the living room and reference room, and inside was the place for writing. If the outside door was locked, no matter how big the movement was, Impossible to hear.
Ye Ruoshui was still a little nervous to face his idol at such a close distance. Unlike the book signing, this time the contact was in Fenghuang's study. It was like walking into her secret place, which made Ye Ruoshui a little cautious. "What do you think of my work?" Phoenix asked with a smile, holding his cheek with one hand.
¡°It¡¯s great, the cases inside are so exciting.¡± Ye Ruoshui praised.
"I heard that this is the first time your brother has come into contact with my works?" Fenghuang asked again: "I'm curious, what impression does he have of me now?"
"He also admires you very much." Ye Ruoshui said kind words for Zhou You.
"Your brother must have very good eyesight, right?" Fenghuang lowered his eyebrows, playing with the pen with both hands, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Ye Ruoshui nodded, in her heart Zhou You was naturally the most powerful.
"Can you tell me about him?" Fenghuang pretended to write a few strokes on the paper casually.
It is a very happy thing to be able to communicate with the idols you admire in person, especially when talking about the person you like the most. Ye Ruoshui couldn't refuse this topic.
night.
Everyone was stunned by the rich delicacies Zhou You made. No one knew that Zhou You's craftsmanship was so good. The appearance of the dishes alone made people excited.
¡°This fish is good, it can rival the national chef of Diaoyutai.¡± Fenghuang picked up a piece of fish meat and tofu and put it into his mouth to taste. Even the big stars who have eaten delicacies from all over the world felt that their tastes were so good.
These words hurt Xu Zida's face. He had said before that Fenghuang couldn't possibly find the food cooked by Zhou You delicious.
¡°That¡¯s the ancient method of steaming fish in vinegar. It contains tofu and vinegar. Grass carp meat contains more unsaturated fatty acids, and tofu protein contains a lot of soy isoflavones. Both of them can lower cholesterol and prevent coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction.¡±
They had never heard of the ancient method of steaming fish in vinegar, but when they heard the ancient method, they immediately felt that the grass carp in the bowl suddenly became very meaningful.
Phoenix praised: "What price do I have to pay to have you cook for me every day?"
"Huh?" Several people who were feasting did not choke to death. Being able to work as a chef for Phoenix is ??like pie in the sky.
"Promise me with my body!" Zhou You said without thinking.
Although he knew that Zhou You would definitely refuse, Fenghuang was still stunned when he heard such an answer.
"Zhou You, why are you talking to Phoenix like this? You will make us feel embarrassed." Xu Zida seized the opportunity and laughed at Zhou You.
¡°There¡¯s no need to make a fuss out of a molehill, Zhou You is right, your wife is very polite.¡± Fenghuang smiled.
Seeing their idol talking about lifelong events with a student, Lin Wan and others felt that their views were ruined and quickly changed the topic: "Sister Phoenix, what is your new book about this time? How can we help you?" ?¡±
"I am considering writing Murder on the Orient Express and No Survival for this new book." Murder on the Orient Express and No Survival are both classic cases of mystery queen Agatha Christie, who is the originator of the "Blizzard Hill" model of the original mystery. , the former's view that everyone is a murderer also breaks the inherent concept and innovates the reasoning elements.
Phoenix¡¯s first few Sins to Mortal series were all about Sherlock Holmes. She revolutionized the declining mystery novels with her unique and novel writing methods, which are even comparable to the original works. However, this time, both No Survival and Orient Express are more difficult.
"I think Orient Express is good, it has oriental elements, and if it is arranged, it will have more room to play."
¡°Queen Agatha of No One Survived was written to the extreme, and it will be difficult for future generations to break through.¡±
"I feel that the Sins series needs an unimaginable case to make a shocking debut in Poirot's generation. No one can become famous in one fell swoop!"
Everyone expressed their opinions. Zhou You had not read a few mystery novels and was inconvenient to speak. He watched them begging while eating.??.
Phoenix said a few more of his ideas for them to discuss.
The discussion at the dinner table was very lively.
After dinner, Lin Wan and Li Chunrong went to wash the dishes, while several boys were still discussing the new case.
The night in the mountainous area was very deep, so everyone naturally stayed for the night. Being able to sleep in Fenghuang's villa made them excited for a while. Phoenix doesn't matter, this villa is rarely visited and there is nothing important, so it would look lively if there were more.
In the living room, several die-hard fans are still helping Phoenix weigh the impact of the new book on readers. Xu Zida was the person in the most heated discussion. When he saw that Zhou You couldn't get into the topic, he felt very happy. The anger he had been holding in all day finally came out.
Zhou You borrowed the study room like Phoenix and watched "No Survival" they were discussing. It was indeed a classic. Zhou You felt the hair on the hair standing on end and the gloomy feeling behind his back that he had not seen for a long time.
Zhou You only felt the cold wind blowing behind him.
??Footsteps?
Zhou You turned around with a flash of lightning, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the sneaky person. But the girl reacted extremely quickly. She was worthy of being the queen of today's Hollywood action movies. With one strike and one strike with her phoenix hand, Zhou You's strength was reduced by four or two strokes.
"Have you always been so vigilant?" Phoenix asked playfully. "You are not an ordinary student, you must have other identities."
"You are not an ordinary star, right?" Zhou You narrowed his eyes, and his power was dissolved in that moment. This Tai Chi-like energy was not something ordinary people could experience.
¡°I¡¯m so smart, I guessed it right.¡± Phoenix praised himself.
"What do you think about no one surviving?" Phoenix asked.
"very good."
"Do you think I can pass it?"
"I believe you can write a murderer who is better at disguise."
Phoenix did not answer: "Remember to pack up after reading. I'm going to bed. I hope to have your opinion tomorrow."
"I can tell you my opinion right now - if you pretend too hard, you will lose your personality." Zhou You said.
"I will write this sentence in the book, Goodnight."
At about eleven o'clock, Zhou You returned to the guest room arranged on the second floor. Others also felt tired and went back to their rooms to rest. Zhou You knocked on Ye Ruoshui's door.
"elder brother?"
"You sleep with me tonight!" Zhou You said.
"It's not good here." Ye Ruoshui blushed.
"I'll give you a massage" Zhou You smiled evilly.
The next day.
Xu Zida, Li Chunrong, Lin Wan, and Xu Tao arrived in the living room one after another. The discussion last night was too intense, and everyone is still a little tired. When I arrived in the living room, I found that Zhou You was already making breakfast.
"Zhou You, you got up so early." Lin Wan said with admiration when she saw breakfast was already placed on the table.
"Someone got up earlier than me." Zhou You gestured outside the villa.
A slim figure is performing a set of strong and soft boxing techniques. The movement is light and beautiful. Xu Zida and the others suddenly became energetic and went over to take a look.
Soon after, Ye Ruoshui also went downstairs.
"morning."
"Weoshui, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Lin Wan asked with concern.
Ye Ruoshui nodded and glanced at Zhou You angrily. If he hadn't given her a sauna-style massage last night, it made her whole body feel sore and comfortable.
Phoenix finished practicing his boxing skills and entered the living room. "Fortunately, we invited Zhou You here, otherwise how could we have such a good breakfast."
"Yes, Ruoshui, you are so lucky to have such a brother." Lin Wan smiled.
Xu Zida disagreed, but he couldn't help but be convinced. This boy's skills were indeed very good.
"Do you have a friend who is still sleeping?" Fenghuang looked at it.
It was only then that everyone realized that the tall, thin, somewhat honest Hong Wenjie was not here.
"I'll call him." Xu Tao went upstairs.
"Sister Phoenix is ??so comfortable sleeping here, he will definitely be reluctant to get up."
"Yeah, I'm afraid of dreaming."
Everyone said jokingly.
Soon, Xu Tao went downstairs and shook his head: "There is no one in his bedroom."
"No one? He probably went to the bathroom or exercised. Don't worry about him." Xu Zida said casually.
"Call him and ask where he is." Zhou You said.
¡°There¡¯s no signal here.¡±
"No need to bother, that kid must have gone to the toilet. He is such an adult, do you think something will happen to him?" Xu Zida saidHe curled his lips.
Twenty minutes later, Hong Wenjie still didn¡¯t show up.
The expressions of Lin Wan, Li Chunrong and the other girls changed slightly.
"Go find him. There was no sound from the alarm last night. He is still in the villa. Maybe there is something wrong with him." Fenghuang said calmly.
Even after Phoenix said so, they didn¡¯t dare to hesitate and hurriedly split up to look for it.
"That guy didn't deliberately use this method to attract Phoenix's attention. If you find him, you must scold him." Xu Zida cursed several times. More than ten minutes later, Ye Ruoshui found the study and found that the door was locked from the inside.
At this time, others rushed over in vain.
"When I left yesterday, the study door was not locked." Zhou You said.
"Isn't this guy trying to steal Sister Phoenix's information?" Xu Zida's expression changed, he banged the door hard and shouted to Hong Wenjie to come out quickly.
"It's useless. There are two rooms in this study. If the outside door is closed, the people inside can't hear the sound."
"what to do?"
"Do you have a key?"
¡°I left the key in the room, and there¡¯s no way to unlock it.¡± Fenghuang frowned.
"What is Hong Wenjie doing? He seems to be quite honest." Lin Wan was anxious. She didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of Fenghuang.
"You guys stand back." Fenghuang's expression was serious, and everyone took a few steps back.
The Phoenix collapsed with one punch.
With a bang, the alloy lock fell apart, and the door was opened with a punch.
Xu Zida and the others were stunned.
Fenghuang hurriedly entered the room, followed by Zhou You and Ye Ruoshui. Lin Wan and the others seemed to have a bad premonition when they came back to their senses. The second door of the study was also locked. Zhou You tried it but couldn't open it.
??Knocked on the door for a while, but didn't hear any response.
Phoenix punched the door open again. Her fist was like a hammer, hitting the metal lock and creating sparks. As soon as the door opened, he saw a young man lying on the desk.
?Looking at the clothes, they belong to Hong Wenjie.
"You bastard, do you know how much trouble you have caused? You actually fell asleep in Sister Fenghuang's study." Xu Zida walked over and cursed. He shook Hong Wenjie's shoulders and lay back on the chair. This sight almost made Xu Zida pee. .
I saw Hong Wenjie¡¯s face was bloodless, his lips were slightly purple, and he was not breathing at all.
"Ah ah ah." Lin Wan and others screamed.
"Don't move." Zhou You stepped forward and checked for pulse, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Zhou You, is he not dead?" Lin Wan's voice was trembling.
Zhou You shook his head and looked at them solemnly. "No pulse, he's dead!"
"It smells like almonds, it seems to have been poisoned by hydrogen chloride." Phoenix sniffed it, with an angry look in his eyes.
"Impossible, Wenjie is such a good person, who would kill him!!!" Several girls cried, unable to believe the facts in front of them.
"It should be suicide." Zhou You said.
"Suicide? Why did he commit suicide? Are you blind? What did you say?" Xu Zida cursed.
"Look at your surroundings." Zhou You said coldly.
Several panicked men and women looked around and discovered that the windows were airtight and locked tightly. There was no way to break in through the windows. The door was locked from behind and had to be broken in.
?That is to say.
"Is this a secret room murder in the original reasoning?" Zhou You looked at Fenghuang.
Phoenix shook his head.
"It's even rarer than the secret room murder that I've been reasoning about"
