Absolute Alibi

Although Ms. Tokino's exclusive words are very secondary [laughing and crying] every time, it is really awesome to be able to see the clues in the description! It looks like we are going to cooperate with the detective brother for a long time, so it's best to be together hahahaha! I like this kind of novel with different descriptions, the content is very interesting!

Although they are all the simplest methods, they are nothing more than taking advantage of time differences, but the logic is clear and organized, and the loop is flawless.

Basically, it is still Oyama Seiichiro's imaginative reasoning: it does not matter whether there is evidence or not, what is important is to use an imaginative story to connect all the clues and foreshadowings. Many times, it is difficult to figure out the logic of this story. The levels of each story are uneven. From the perspective of mystery novels, the overall reading experience is on par or even better than Museum of Conspiracy 1. My favorite is the story about the shopkeeper and grandpa. It is finally no longer a fantasy story. The logic is more rigorous and smooth, and there are no dead people. This avoids the problem of "the police loser gets too much", and the reading experience is better. During the reading process, I saw many comments pointing out that the police forensic evidence collection investigation in the article was not rigorous, why there was no surveillance and so on. First, national conditions are different. There is a lot of emphasis on "personal privacy" there, but there is little surveillance. The government and police databases are not as complete as ours, especially in Japan, which does not even have a photo ID card. Second, this is a mystery novel rather than a criminal investigation novel. (I don't mean to blame the readers, because what they point out are objective problems of rigor) Mystery novels and criminal investigation novels are different categories, with completely different perspectives. When I read criminal investigation novels, I also complain about the police's lack of rigor in investigating cases and not investigating what should be investigated. But when I read mystery novels, I just want to see interesting twists and wonderful reasoning, and I don't pay too much attention to the level of the police. Duan's comment is right. The level of the police in this book is indeed too poor (this is indeed due to the author's poor consideration. Since the focus is not on police criminal investigation but on reasoning, he should not use too much text to describe the police's handling of the case. Several other short story collections by Oyama Seiichiro use methods such as investigating old cases and enthusiasts' tea parties to partially Avoiding this problem, but this book exposes the problem completely) If you can't bear this at all, or you want to see the police use surveillance and technical means to find the murderer, I suggest reading criminal investigation novels instead of mystery novels - reading mystery novels with the expectation of reading criminal investigation novels is completely torturing yourself.

Japanese detective novels are rigorously conceived, have their own style, and are beautiful. I hope domestic authors can also write some good detective novels.

The whole book is great. Mitani Tokino's reasoning process is very exciting, and it is approached from an angle that is not thought of by conventional thinking. The six cases plus the question given by Grandpa Tokino are very suitable for those who like mystery novels to read.

You know, this book is mainly about overturning the alibi. I came here to recommend the book from Xiaohongshu and read it with the mentality of giving it a try. I think it's very exciting. From the perspective of overturning the alibi, it's not boring at all. There are many twists and turns, which surprises me. Beautiful, recommended.

Although there are many small flaws, it is hard to hide its brilliance. There are seven articles in total, and the alibis used are basically different. The brilliant ideas are eye-catching. They can delay or advance the time of committing a crime. Some methods are also very close to reality. Sometimes you even want to try them. Of course, you won't commit a crime. Maybe this is the charm of mystery novels. By the way, the boy protagonist is really enviable when he meets such a cute and handsome heroine.

I didn't need to think about the novels I read before, but I changed after reading this one.

A classic case-based reasoning, produced by Dashan, it must be a high-quality product! It should be renamed "The Clock Shop Detective and the Alibi of the Murder Weapon" which is more reasonable~ The rookie male protagonist and the versatile female protagonist feel very suitable for being made into a Japanese drama.

This story is very good. Although I don't understand too much, I still think it is very exciting. The length is also appropriately controlled so that it ends before people lose their patience. Of course, there are also elements of the plot that are attractive. As for the clock always appearing at the scene of the murder, the clockmaker should be the best at solving the problem of absence. Although the reason is far-fetched, it is somewhat connected. I smiled in surprise and then agreed, and I couldn't help but admire this association. It seems simple, but it is not easy to derive inspiration from it. After all, if one thing is involved with another thing for too long, people will get used to it and gradually they will not notice it. The four words "hour hand return to position" sometimes feel like a password, which is a bit confusing. However, after seeing it again after getting familiar with it, you will happily accept it with a crooked eyebrow. Although the above does not say anything worth remembering, it is my true thoughts. Goodbye.

Alibi is a technique commonly used in many mystery movies and TV series. The surprising thing about this technique is that when the case occurs, the suspect in the interval is in another location and does not have the conditions to commit the crime. This technique often leads to some exciting plot developments, so this is the reason for its popularity. "Absolute Alibi" by Oyama Seiichiro contains seven chapters, and the content inside is particularly hard-core. It goes directly into the story without any nonsense. The content is exciting and worth reading.

This is a typical short story in the detective style, with a strange scene setting - a clock shop that sells the business of overturning alibi; there are only seven short chapters, but it involves three characters and scenes; from the stalker to the murder weapon, from the mountain villa where the crime occurred to the snowy scene; cases that the police are helpless can always be solved with the help of the watch shop manager. She is the kind of easy-chair detective who can break down problems and solve them without leaving home. It is precisely by using the mindset of human nature that she can make the impossible possible. This cute female detective is really awesome!

"The clock has set and your alibi has fallen apart." Cool——

The content is exciting and the logic is compact. The endings of several cases are quite unexpected, especially the one about conspiring with her ex-husband. The whole book revolves around the difficult cases encountered by the newly transferred police officers. It describes the ins and outs behind each case in detail, and the protagonist solves the case with the help of the clock shop owner. Although he violated the rules, he also wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible for the sake of justice in his heart. In the process, he gradually gained experience from a novice. I feel that although he was a little weak at the beginning, he should have made some progress after these cases.

Although it is a collection of short stories, it is really good-looking. First, "I" tells the case and doubts. The reader understands the case from the perspective of an observer of the story, and finally Tokino gives the answer. The alibi of the sentence "The hour hand returns to its original position - has collapsed." It's really cool.

The first two cases feel far-fetched, but the following cases are quite good. They are quite interesting pure reasoning, and all the clues are given. Readers can also try to decipher the alibi.

The first few cases deliberately focused on alibi, and the cases had some loopholes. The later cases started to get better, and the stories and conspiracies were well designed.

Moreover, the characters have distinct personalities, and a smart and calm heroine like Mitani Tokino is eye-catching. I especially liked the reasoning process in the book, and I felt like I was solving the case along with it. All in all, this is a mystery novel worth reading and highly recommended!

The content is rigorous and the plot is great. I don't know why it's only rated 9.0. Is it because there are few people who rated it? Maybe it's because of the translation. Anyway, I personally feel that it is much better than those mystery plots where the saint appears in front of others, because there are not so many thoughts, the reasoning plot is simple, the mode is single, and the method is mysterious. I think it is great, 10 points [laugh][laugh][laugh]

Very nice. It's a pity that this kind of subject matter doesn't seem to be popular in Tomato…

I also saw this book in a bookstore at that time. It was really amazing [Sending my heart to you]

An excellent entry-level mystery novel for beginners. Although there are many coincidences, the logic is very clear and good.

"Absolute Alibi" is a famous collection of novels by Oyama Seiichiro, winner of the Honka Mystery Award. It contains a total of seven short stories. In this book, the protagonist opens a weird clock shop, which not only sells clocks, but also runs a business of "validating customers' alibi". The protagonist firmly believes that "anyone who claims to have an alibi will always say 'what time and where was I?'. In other words, the clock becomes the basis for the claim... In this case, shouldn't the watchmaker be the best person to solve the problem of alibi?" The victim who came back from the dead, the murder in his sleep... The murderer took advantage of the loopholes in time to create one alibi after another! The helpless police found the protagonist, the owner of the watch shop. Can her appearance bring about a change in the confusing case? Let's find the answer in the book together.

It's an interesting book, but the cover is really hard to read [face covering]

It's great. Tokino's reasoning is really amazing. It didn't take long to figure out the entire case. He was able to grasp the details and was very logical. The story was also rich.

The logic is rigorous, there is no nonsense, only clues are thrown out, and the alibi is overturned based on existing clues. It also shows that as long as it is done, it will leave traces.

There are some loopholes in the plot reasoning of traditional mystery novels, but the mantra of "the clock hand returns to its original position" is very attractive to people in the second grade of secondary school [get it]

This is too short...
