Looking for the Name of a Japanese Mystery Novel
At the beginning, a person died. Then the police asked the neighbors and couldn't find out anything, but everyone seemed to be related. I can't remember the name of the book! ! ! Does anyone know? ! ?

If this is a mystery novel, it would be better to say it is a romantic love story! Ishioka, who has recovered his memory, treats Mitarai like a close friend, a romantic knight. When he sees these four words, he will think of the scene of 20-year-old Mitarai riding a motorcycle. After reading it, I am still unsatisfied! Mitarai's image is established perfectly! He is like Einstein's brain vividly expressed. In short, there is only one word, good!
The knight from a foreign country is quite romantic, and the first encounter is really amazing. Whether it is the astrology classroom that is like a refuge in the heavy rain, Mitarai falling from the sky on a motorcycle on the Arakawa embankment, or the melodious guitar sound that seems to be in the ears, with unique and intense emotions, it is really unforgettable.
♬ For hard-core readers, this work does not have the traditional Shimada-style imaginative tricks. It made me empathize just through the delicate writing. This is Shoji Shimada's debut novel, which shows his talent as a writer. ♬ Listening to jazz and reading a book, the atmosphere is really great. Shimada has a very good taste in music. "Romantic Warrior" by Return to Forever, a band organized by Chick Corea, is very nice. ♬ It is precisely because of the detailed and realistic description of the protagonist's daily life that he feels endless sadness after his lover passes away. ♬ "I can finally call you by your name, Ishioka-kun." The knight said humorously.
It is indeed not a mystery novel, but more like a lyric poem. The relationship with Liangzi is a faint red line, but the truly romantic sentences are all given to the maverick foreign knight. What could be more romantic than the first meeting between Holmes and Watson?
The first meeting between Mitarai and Ishioka-kun was really like a dream belonging to Ishioka-kun. In the dream, he was in a foreign country, and in a life carefully woven for him, he had a good son who loved him, and he also met a knight who belonged to him and would save him. Mitarashi Keiji and Ishioka-kun were destined to meet each other for the first time!
It's not so much a mystery novel as it is a romantic love story. No murderer, no victim, just our Watson
This book is probably because the emotions and experiences are so intense that technical writing and the like don't matter. If I were asked to choose, I would also choose this book as Shimada's top. And the title of the book has changed from Random Thoughts to Foreign Knights. I feel that the temperament of the whole work is also subtly different. I like the current one very much. It is very romantic.
It must be five stars. It is Shimada's debut and debut work. After reading the postscript, I found out that it was published after nine years of snow hiding. Although there is no trick design by Hongda, the first encounter between Sherlock Holmes and Watson in Shimada's version is still very memorable. I personally think this book can be read many times without getting tired of it, because I have read it for the fifth time. I personally highly recommend reading this book. Whether you are a fan of mystery novels or not, you can read it to your heart's content!
All the abstract emotions are narrated by the author in a concrete way, like a quietly flowing river, or like wisps of light smoke, inadvertently bringing readers into Shigang's thoughts, feelings and touches.
I felt like the protagonist, waking up in the park and slowly regaining his memory. And the stories in the book reminded me of my uncle, who also lost his memory and didn't know who he was. While reading this book, I kept wondering if he was also scared and confused at the time. I think the author must be a very powerful person to allow me to have so many feelings and thoughts. I want to recommend this book to my good friends and let them read this interesting story.
Should I say it or not, it's really a romantic story. The twenty-year-old Zhanbi master appeared on a shabby motorcycle and broke the barrier of memory. From then on, time began to flow. The reasoning part is also quite interesting, but the previous plot is a bit infuriating.
The delicate writing at the beginning made me feel like I was reading a love novel, and the multiple twists and turns in the back were very enjoyable to read. The pace was also very compact and not too watery. It can definitely be ranked among the best among Shimada's masterpieces.
Except for Chigako's diary, which caused my blood pressure to rise due to a series of stupid treatments, the reading experience was great. As other book reviews said, it is a very romantic novel. I can only say that Shuji is really good at arousing emotions.
Ishioka-kun's romantic journey to a foreign country does not have Shimada-style celestial puzzles, but it has a very excellent and delicate emotional depiction. The problem of consistent water injection of content has been turned into an advantage. Shimada, it turns out you are also a romance novelist.
"The Foreign Knight" is famous for its tragedy and romance. At the end of the story, Ishioka's sorrow and Mitarai's redemption form a poignant picture. Mitarai transformed into a romantic knight in the Middle Ages and saved his important friends. In this foreign world composed of fiction and lies, Mitarai is the knight of Ishioka. Although the whole mystery plot is weak, its delicate description of emotions makes this work a rare romantic work among mystery novels. This scam called revenge has no winner in the end, leaving readers with deep sadness and contemplation of the fate of the characters.
I wanted to read a mystery novel, but I didn't expect it to be a romantic and sad mystery novel, which made me a little bit intolerable😭It's really an excellent work😭
It's really just this kind of heartwarming scene... I can't resist it. It's hard to believe that a mystery novel can have such a delicate emotional line. A lot of ink was spent on this part.
A romantic mystery novel, the psychological description of the protagonist is extremely delicate. The characters in the article: Mitarashi, Ishioka-kun, and Ryoko are all knights in this foreign country in each other's hearts. They have become an inseparable part of each other since they first met.
It's really good to read, although I read it intermittently. If I had the physical book, I would probably read it in one go. There is no astrology trick that will shock people, nor is it weird and scary like Long Wo Pavilion. There is only a romantic story about a pair of people involved in a family's misfortune. It's very interesting. Although there is no trick that makes people's blood boil, there is an inexplicable deep sadness that you will feel when you think about it.
The twist is really amazing, a masterpiece of romance. This book is definitely the one that impressed me the most among all Shimada's books.
Personally, I feel it's better than "Astrology Killing", but I can't watch it a second time because of this sense of immersion...😭😭😭
The Eiffel Tower in Paris is inverting
As expected of Shoji Shimada
It tastes so good! It tastes so good! It tastes so good! It tastes so good! It tastes so good!
It is recommended that you read this one after reading other Mitarai series. It will be ten times more shocking than reading it according to the timeline...
The first meeting between Ishioka and Mitarai was really romantic🥰🥰
Reminiscent of Wuthering Heights
So Ihara is not dead [smile]
It looks good and feels like it has a story
The scene where Mitarashi is riding a motorcycle is really cool
