Reader comments
As expected of Edogawa Ranpo, I am once again impressed by Mr.'S writing.
I don't know what I should feel at this time. It would be better to say that Kogoro said all my thoughts, so there is no need to say them again. In fact, this is the case with all of Mr. Wang's books. He expresses all the readers' thoughts through the mouths of the characters. After reading the whole book, it is really satisfying and yet unfinished.
The story is truly fascinating and unforgettable. The character creation is also quite successful, especially the image of Yumiko described with heavy ink, which simply comes to life on the page.
Although the first story is also interesting, the second story about the succubus Yumiko is undoubtedly more shocking. What surprised me the most was that she even forged her diary. I once thought about how terrifying it would be if there was such a murderer and he was able to get away with it! So I have never dared to believe that as long as it is a diary, must it be the truth? You can't rule out the possibility of falsifying the diary, right? If it's just a detective novel, just follow the author's lead. But what if it is in reality? Just because a writer says it's true doesn't necessarily mean it's true. Therefore, every time a diary appears, I doubt its authenticity, but most of it is true and believable. Since I have limited knowledge because I have not read many books, I was really surprised by this. However, judging from the amount of detective novels I have read now, there must not be many books with this kind of diary perjury plot. However, the murderer in the book "Banshee" actually made perjury in the diary, and fabricated it in such an orderly manner.
In the end, Kogoro's reasoning is impeccable and breathtaking. I have great admiration and love for the image of famous detectives, and I also love novels with this theme. Combining Yumiko's superb killing techniques with Kogoro's sharp reasoning ability, I still admire the latter even more.
Other thoughts are similar to those in the book.
Edogawa Rambo my god!
It's really surprising to see myself and the characters written together in the article. It seems that Mr. Wang also used this book to reveal some of his thoughts on career and reflection on his own shortcomings. Although I think it's really perfect~
Shocking indeed.
Let me talk about my thoughts on the second story: In fact, when I first mentioned the feathers, I thought of Yumiko as the murderer. Because compared to the threatening letter of "Five Orange Cores", it is more like a sign of identity like "A Study in Scarlet". If the murderer were someone else, they would either not be able to use something like this, or if it was really Okawara, they would be more sophisticated, so I think only a banshee would use something sentimental like this. In this way, it is not difficult to deduce that Muraki and Himida were quarreling just to show off their jealousy in front of women. But pushing back further, maybe because I have never been in love, I can't think of why the banshee would kill people, and I can't understand the perverted thinking of killing him if you love him to the core, so I began to doubt Okawara again; coupled with the description in the longer diary, I deepened my suspicion of Okawara.
At the end, I felt like I was enlightened and enlightened. Yeah, I forgot about the mantis. Sheriff Black Cat came back to my head. People do hate things that are the same as themselves, so it makes sense that she is afraid of mantises.
It seems that it is really impossible for me to be a detective. I am too irrational. When Holmes failed, wasn't it because emotion took over?
It feels like Okawara vaguely senses the danger of Yumiko, but he still stays with her as always. I can only say that it really fits the image of a succubus [Like]
Wow, this book "Banshee" is so exciting! The author Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning is really amazing! The cases in the story were complicated and every character could be the murderer, which kept me guessing until the end. I think it's a bit like "Sherlock Holmes", both of which are gripping mystery novels. And Kogoro Akechi in the book is also very powerful. Just like Sherlock Holmes, he can always find key clues. I really like this type of book and recommend it to you!
I really admire this brain circuit.
Linked to each other, I can't stop
Very good, very good, very good
What a great book. It's really awesome. It's worth reading. The detective mystery series written by Xiao Nippon is really good.
8.6 The ending is not unexpected, and the treatment is full of the characteristics of the times, but I don't particularly like it.
Good looking. Recommended.
Revealing the darkness of human nature. Women are sometimes more terrifying than men for their own selfish desires!
Very beautiful. Both women have their own characteristics.
Multi-dimensional description, I really admire the heroine's thinking, logical reasoning and guessing!
It's a very reversal book. If you love to the extreme, you will kill the other person. It's so scary.
It's brilliant, better than many detective dramas nowadays.
