No matter how many times you meet Aigang Makate, he will always say to you: "Hello, first time meeting." Yes, there is something wrong with this young man's memory.
Entrusted by a friend, Mitsurugi is determined to help Ai Gang regain his memory. The only clue is a book written by Ai Gang - "Return to the Orange Republic".
The plot in the book is really bizarre. There are giant orange trees that reach into the sky, villages built on the trees, a bear with wheels on its feet, a little girl with wings, and sunflowers as tall as a person... The most terrifying thing is that the various parts of the heroine's body in the book are installed together with screws!
No matter how you look at it, this is a completely imagined fairy tale. However, Mitarai said: "Everything described in the book really happened!"
"Screwman" no longer adopts the traditional method of "hiding the truth within incredible events", but boldly and directly breaks the boundary between fantasy and reality. And Mitarai's way of solving crimes in "Screwman" is also very different from before. He almost never leaves home and uses computers to investigate cases, somewhat like an "armchair detective."

Reader comments
The writing method is very interesting, and the essence is based on fairy tales. The first time I saw it was in Da Liu's "The God of Death". The core plot is the two points of "bullet holes are inconsistent" and "real and fake screw men". Hmm... I don't know if it is because I have read too few mystery works. Anyway, I feel extremely shocked. Although I have already guessed some of it, it can be smeared when the blood coagulates, but it does not prevent me from evaluating this book higher than astrology. After all, ideas win by quantity (no). Of course, it's not just that. Regarding the narrative, I personally think Screwman is better than Astrology, and Shoji's Bibi Lai Lai is a bit less (no).
Finally, I would like to mention that the toilet guy is still good at pretending to be cool, and the postscript of the guy who pretends to be dead is still lengthy.
The top masterpiece, among all the suspense works I have watched so far, it ranks fourth, surpassing the first masterpiece. The top-notch puzzles in the first half have already whetted my appetite. The top-level suspense brought me top-level curiosity and desire to explore, and I can give it full marks for the mystery part.
In the second half, while I was reading, my brain was thinking quickly following the clues I already knew. What was the murderer's motive? Who is the identity? What is the technique? What are the answers behind all these bizarre questions? My brain kept spinning, but I couldn't figure it out at all. With this kind of thinking, I watched Mitarai start reversal reasoning layer after layer just like Phoenix Wright. Each layer was beyond my expectation and made me exclaim loudly.
The whole story has layers of puzzles, and the decryption is also a layer-by-layer solution. The reading experience is extremely smooth (although there are some dazzling academic contents in the middle), and the pace of the whole book is just right. When my mind is full of questions, Mitarai can always give me shocking but reasonable answers to my questions based on reasoning, but his answers will also bring about deeper and more incredible questions. The story throws up puzzles that arouse my great curiosity, and gives me amazing answers to satisfy my curiosity. It is a masterpiece.
The characters in the book are also very interesting. Mitarai's way of solving crimes is very unique. She can investigate the case through the computer. It feels so awesome! Moreover, the author's writing style is also very good, and the scene descriptions are very vivid, making me feel like I am in the world of the book. I think this is a mystery novel worth reading, and I recommend it to you!
It's quite shocking, the fairy tale style notebook reasoning, and the Orange Republic part is quite interesting. The Orange Republic leads to the screw murder case. The mystery of the screw murder case is very attractive. The reasoning behind it is very detailed, especially the analysis of fairy tales, and the motivation is quite reasonable. Finally, it ends with romanticism, quite in the style of "The Strange Knight".
It is a very unpopular work, and it was quite awkward to read in the early stage. However, when the case began to be brought back from virtual reality to reality by Mitarashi Kei, and then analyzed from reality to the third level of ABC, the author's level of conception was quite superb, and he is worthy of being a representative figure of the new mystery.
Wonderful, really wonderful
Hearty show off skills
Grand conspiracy, top imagination and logical reasoning
Murder cases inspired by fairy tales are full of fantasy
