Ayatsuji Kyoujin 03: Maze House Incident
About This Novel
Mystery novelist Miyagaki Haitaro invited four of his best students to attend his birthday party. The banquet was held at the Labyrinth Hall, which was laid out like a maze. However, when the four writers arrived, the old writer Miyagaki had died. In his last words, he stated that the four writers should write a novel with the "Labyrinth Hall" as the scene and himself as the victim within five days, and the one who writes the best will receive his huge inheritance. The four writers naturally worked hard and showed off their talents. However, they died unexpectedly one after another, and the way of death was exactly the same as what was written in their novels...

This ending twists, twists, twists
The situation in which each person was killed was particularly exciting and had too many reversal factors. At one point, I subconsciously thought that 'Samejima Chisao' was a male, so in my mind he had a completely male physique and a male attitude. At the moment of the final reveal, when I read the teacher's last words, I felt that something was wrong. There might be someone else as the murderer. The ending was really twisted several times to give people a less angry truth. If it was really the teacher who wanted to complete the work, it would be really unacceptable.
The narrative is more exciting than the secret room!
The weird mansion that entices those who get involved, coupled with the ever-changing relationship between ancient Greek gods, and the foreshadowing and dark lines between the characters in the incident and the mythical figures are like night lights swinging in a deep maze, enveloping the mystery and hinting at the answer. As the core of the narrative trick, it really made me feel the cunning charm of the "word trap" so clearly and deeply for the first time. After all the twists and turns, I suddenly realized - "Ah! It turns out that the murderer is - the motive is actually!" As a result, turning to the next chapter, everything was subverted, and the real truth was far more shocking and crazy than what was revealed. The real truth The emotional motivation is far more awkward and tragic than the official report... From the mystery of the decorative mask to the hint of the minoss, from the foreshadowing of the typewriter to the interacting springs, from Ariadne's guidance to Pacifica's difficulty... Every detail has a story and a reason that must be described, and even the prologue and epilogue are hidden with "conspiracy-style" easter eggs. My favorite in the "Pavilion Series", you must have a seat in the "Maze Pavilion"!
Have fun watching
The maze is complicated and strange, and the case is quite exciting, but the method is average, just killing people randomly. Puzzle solving is also a bit forced.
Fooled!
I was deceived once by Shikaya, and again by Ayatsuji!
The concept is very unique and ranks among the top in the museum series.
Sequentially better than the previous chapters, very powerful (spoiler review)
In the novel, although it was immediately guessed that the old writer was not dead, the secretary might be in the Minos s room, the secret passage was related to the mirror, the work should be killed first and then imported, the bleeding did not take into account women's menstruation, and patients with advanced lung cancer who cough up blood should not have the strength to swing an ax and kill three people in one night, and Jiaodao was always weakened in the later period, and I have always suspected that either he or the secretary killed people under the arrangement of the old writer. But I really didn't notice that Jiaodao turned out to be a woman. At the end of the novel, I still felt that I had guessed wrong. But the ending is reversed, and it feels natural. At the end, I am still surprised that the author Lu Shi seems to have never appeared in the incident. Could it be that Lu Shi is Jiaodao? Or is it Shimada? Who is the identity of the reader Shimada? The identity was immediately reversed in the last two sentences, and it suddenly became clear. It's a fascinating read.
The ending is a bit powerful, the last two sentences are hard to guard against
