Astrology Killing Magic (New Revised Edition)

It's particularly wonderful, and the murderer's confession in the last chapter is particularly touching. The murderer is actually easier to guess, but the method of killing still needs to be explained by the author himself to know. The author's respectful attitude toward China throughout the text is also very favorable, and I like it very much.

It's really wonderful! Both the plot and the writing are impeccable, and the final suicide note is even more exquisite, giving people a strong sense of empathy. After reading this story, I turned back to read today's detective online novels. It's really hard to finish.

The overall score is 10 points! There's not much to say, it's undoubtedly a masterpiece! The devil borrowed the hands of Shoji Shimada to create an unprecedented conspiracy! To this day, it is still the ceiling of this kind of conspiracy, and the conspiracies of the three cases in the book have been borrowed from many works (with good reputations). This book breaks new ground. I have to say that Shoji Shimada is really a genius! Although in my opinion, this book should still be somewhere between the original style and the new original style, some of the reasoning and thinking methods of the original style can still play a role.

It feels different from some other mystery novels I have read recently. I don't have the feeling of "Ah, I've been tricked by the author again~". Instead, I am amazed by the exquisite design. I felt dizzy after reading it for several hours, but it was worth it! [Laughing][laughing][laughing]

It is still a classic, the originator of new basic reasoning.

Because Kindaichi already knew the core techniques of "The Ijinkan Murder Incident", he was able to quickly identify the murderer. Therefore, the fun of solving the puzzle was at least half reduced, but maybe he was driven by some kind of magic power and still read it completely. As the first work of a new style, it explains all the meaning of serving tricks, and it has a feeling of a heavenly mystery. Just like Mitarai said, the tricks are simple but there is always a wedge missing. This is also its charm. The "Scotch Tape" in this book is the biggest cover. It is used to conceal the motive and identity while exposing the murderer. I can feel that the murderer actually more or less expressed his true thoughts at the time in the "Scotch Tape". Perhaps this is called the real concealment of the truth. Let's talk about it a little bit. Although the travel notes can be read, it has nothing to do with the case, which is somewhat unjustifiable. After all, it is so long. Also, I still believe in the police in the novel too much, but I feel relieved when I think that the time is too far away and the 226 incident happened on the same day. Astrology is used throughout the text. The murderer was able to come up with such a wonderful method because he was protected by his zodiac sign. I think "Assold" has actually been made long ago. I originally wanted to give it four stars, but in the end I still can't bear it after much thought. In short, the flaws do not hide the flaws. I hope you can also find fun in this book.

Originally I didn't want to give it a five-star review. Total 13 hours and 7 minutes. Finally, I read the entire book seriously from beginning to end. This book is indeed wonderful, whether it is case design, atmosphere, or reasoning and analysis, it is all first-rate. Especially the reasoning and analysis process of the case is really logical, interlocking and well-founded, with almost no loopholes. The direction of the case and the identity of the murderer are even more unexpected, but reasonable. Nowadays, the boundaries of mystery novels are broad and diverse. But I have always believed that the true representative of mystery novels and the most attractive ones are still the original mystery themes. Other genre-changing novels (such as a certain museum) and social novels (a night walk) that are named in the name of mystery cannot be regarded as mystery novels in the true sense in my mind. Because any novel that is not based on strict and reasonable logical reasoning is at best a mystery novel filled with water. Those atmosphere exaggerations and artificial emotional narratives that have nothing to do with the case are all manifestations of the author's lack of talent. It goes without saying that this book is truly a masterpiece. However, there are still a lot of plot contents that have nothing to do with the case. Those boring and lengthy descriptions of scenery, descriptions of characters' inner activities, and exaggeration of emotional atmosphere all weakened my reading experience of this excellent work. The more important point is: the scar-like words such as "Chinese spies" and "Manchuria" mentioned many times in the article made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I don't know what the author's position is, but what I vaguely felt between the lines was that there was no reflection on the Japanese imperialist invasion of the mainland, and it even seemed to give rise to a feeling of infinite emotion, which made me not want to give this book a full score. After hesitating for a long time, I still gave it a five-star review.

It is a top-notch trick and gives readers space to think. They can guess the general content in the middle and later stages, but it still does not affect the shocking truth at the end. It can be said that it satisfies both careful reasoning and true motivation. Shimada is worthy of being a new teacher, and this book "Astrology Killing Magic" is also worthy of being a masterpiece of new characters!

It's a really interesting mystery novel. Overall, there aren't too many Japanese-style perversion plots. The technique is really unexpected and a little bit brain-burning. But what surprised me even more was Mitarai and Ishioka. They have a feeling of a crazier Holmes and a more tolerable Watson (a bit hard to describe). It can be seen that the author must like Holmes very much. There are many plots in it that really look like a tribute. The more typical ones include the first meeting between Officer Fumihiko and Mitarai, which is very similar to the confrontation between the stepfather and Holmes in the Spotted Belt Case. At the end, Ishioka wants to write a book for Mitarai. This should be a very typical tribute. And these two really get along very well.

It is said that the luck of childhood is the misfortune of a writer. The color of a person's life ultimately depends on the color of his childhood. The author has played a big game of chess, which is really exciting. When reading the novel, it is especially easy to follow the author's train of thought, so you can only think about the parts that the author has revealed at that time, but the most exciting thing is the moment when the truth is revealed. Tokiko, the book does not dwell too much on her tragic childhood, but I can feel the despair that was pieced together in the deliberately understated part of the notes. I think maybe Tokiko's mother's heart has long since died. She embraces the sadness of her daughter's death and lives as numbly as a dead person. As for the stepmother, she may not regret what she did in prison. She will only be driven to a mental breakdown by the bizarre case and the death of her daughter. In fact, there is no winner in this case, and people's fate is very miserable. The clever technique, combined with the ingenious way of revelation, pushes the story to a climax, but in the end it falls back into silence and is thought-provoking.

Authentic reasoning, wonderful cases, gorgeous techniques, slowly unfolding from a spine-chilling note, the truth from forty years ago gradually emerged. The murderer's confession at the end is so sad. If it weren't for the harsh treatment of fate, maybe he would have lived a happy life.

The logic line is very clear, the narrative is smooth, the plot is complete, and it has a bit of strange fantasy. The crux of the ruse was piecing together the body, and the burial site, well, it's in my knowledge base. To say that it is shocking, it is definitely there, it is really amazing. Tokiko's motives and details are revealed clearly, and the murderer's mental journey is clearly visible, with a natural and natural feeling. But just as the person who washes the toilet said, the trick itself is very simple, but too much confusion is mixed in to create a confusing feeling. As readers, what we mainly enjoy is the thrill of solving the mystery after going through all kinds of hardships. In the end, this book successfully made me fall in love with washing the toilet and "me" (actually I forgot the name). Today I suddenly discovered that I also summarized the doubtful points and forgot to post them. I hope to get a reasonable explanation. Doubt 1: The characteristics of covering up a dead person are obvious. The signs of suffocation are usually more obvious on the bodies that have been covered to death, but there are often no signs left on the mouth and nose, especially if the victim is unresisting. In some cases, the mouth and nose are slightly skewed or squashed, leaving a pale area around the mouth and nose, and sometimes bruises, bleeding, and nail marks can be seen. During the autopsy, attention should be paid to the mucosa in the oral cavity, especially to see if there is any damage to the areas corresponding to the teeth. Symptoms of death from suffocation usually include conjunctival hemorrhage, cyanosis, and dilated pupils. The real cause of death shouldn't be discovered, right? Forensic doctors are just doing nothing. Doubt 2: Dare to go to the haunted house. One of my sisters died, and some of them went to have fun in a place where a murder occurred just a few days ago. I really can't understand. Are they so brave? Doubt 3: Not checking the terrain. You say the murderer is very thoughtful, right? She published her suicide note, thought of the murder method, and arranged everything, but she didn't even think of investigating the hiding place after the murder? ! This is completely off the mark. The article describes that "she felt very lucky. After going out, she faced the sea, but there was no one on the beach."...? I? ! Convinced. You didn't expect this at all in terms of feelings?

Although there is a lot of confusing content, the core trick is very amazing

Extremely exciting! This book not only contains amazing tricks, but also contains cultural collisions and the author's thoughts on Japanese culture. I really like this type of mystery novel. It makes people feel refreshed in reasoning and at the same time, they have a deeper understanding of a country and an era. The reading threshold is indeed a bit high. After all, the story has a grand background, many characters and complex relationships. If you can read this book patiently, your understanding of mystery novels will rise to a new level!

His thoughts and reasoning in this book are really eye-opening. There are many places in his book that make me see a mystery novelist. His thoughts are not so much the beginning of a new style, but in fact, I feel that they are a symbol of the end of the style era.

The ending is quite touching. There is a bit of water in Kyoto in the middle. It feels like helping to introduce the scenic spots. The criminal methods are really unconstrained. I can feel the style of Shimada-ryu. As a representative work of the new style, this book is undoubtedly groundbreaking, but compared with the contemporary masterpieces of the style, I think it is not as good as it is. Of course, it is understandable that future generations will create on the shoulders of their predecessors. At the end of the story, the life of the prisoner is introduced, which really brought tears to my eyes. Japan was really in chaos at that time.

The Confessions of a Senior in the Art Department of Kinzo was a bit too invasive, and I couldn't read it due to post-traumatic stress. When I started to try historical suspense, it aroused my love for pseudo-historical theory, and I also wanted to revisit Dan Brown. Taking stock of those ASD weird detectives and ass-wiping assistants, it is interesting to see Fuhua's second creation of the violent transvestite poisonous husband × sandbag sand coquettish husband. Mother and daughter are still the most heartwarming part of the story of this four-circle family, and I have superfluous feelings for the unlucky gambler...

There is no need to go into details about the classic, but I would like to remind the book friends in the future because there are a lot of dialogues in the text. Some people who don't know may not be able to tell the difference. In fact, just look at the quotation marks. If there are no quotation marks, it means that the same person is speaking until the end of the quotation marks. It is easy to understand by alternating like this.

I watched it intermittently, five stars. There are spoilers below , , , , "Watson" traveled to so many places along the way, and it turned out to have almost nothing to do with the murder case. I don't know whether to say water injection or a cover-up set up by the author for readers hahh. What touched me the most was the reveal of the tactics and the murderer's monologue. I had never seen Kindaichi and Shaobao before, so this was the first time I learned about this kind of dismemberment trick. It was really genius. The murderer painstakingly laid a 40-year-old mystery for his mother and his own painful past, but it also left his beloved mother alone for decades. Did he dream back to the scene of the crime many times at midnight? He had done so much, but in the end he seemed to have gotten nothing. There was no sense of revenge, only a long sigh.

Very interesting, but too brain-burning

A technique as gorgeous as a magic show...! !

Read it once and listen to it again. The girl murderer is extremely sexy and tragic, which makes people admire and pity.

I read it again when I saw Tomato. It's a first-class technique. The only pity is that before I read this book for the first time, I had read some of the tribute works of this book. I could already guess it. I can only say... Shimada is really awesome! [Cover face] I love Ishioka and Mitarai (hahaha, Mitarai means cleaning the toilet) Mitarashi said to Ishioka: You can write down the case, but you can't use your real name. Anyway, don't call Mitarashi! ! ! My name is Tsukikage Hoshinosuke (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻ The weird detective Mitarai, and Ishioka-kun who I don't like but I can't compare to, I love them both so much, but I just think that they will always feel a pity in the end... No matter what, they will always be together! !

I've always wanted to read this book, 🍅 Needless to say it's great. The trick is very clever. What moved me more than the trick was the regret in the last chapter.

The core plot of this book is often used for reference. The murderer's motivations and confessions are also very humane. The brotherhood of the protagonists is also very good, but it is too chatty, just like the author's postscript. This book can also be used as a travel guide, with many scenic spots and transportation routes written in it. However, the first and middle stages of the book are still a bit discouraging, and the later period is exciting.

I watched it on the plane. It was very exciting. It is the first of its kind. The romantic feeling that comes with the truth is also unforgettable (ノ^o^)ノ I really like the friendship between the two protagonists in the book. The murderer's confession at the end is so sad - this is a tragedy in which no one can be happy.

This is the first novel of the new series. I had played a trick-like book in Script Killing before, and I guessed Assold's trick, so I wasn't shocked by the twist. I didn't expect Yizhi's case. I really like the part about the monologue.

The layout of the case is huge, complex and confusing! The various speculations are a bit dizzying! The murderer's methods of committing crimes were bloody and cruel! The forged diary at the beginning is very confusing!

Damn, a mediocre person like me never guessed it

After reading the obscure astrology, geography, history and other contents in the notes, it will be much easier to read. I gave up several times and finally finished reading it.
