In this world, there is a kind of gun shrimp and goby. The gun shrimp can dig holes and live in them. But there is one guy who wants to live in its hole, and that is the goby. However, the goby does not live in vain. It will patrol the entrance of the hole. If a foreign enemy approaches, it will shake its tail fin to notify the gun shrimp in the hole. They cooperate seamlessly, which seems to be called mutual benefit and symbiosis.
Tang Xuesui and Yuan Liang are such a mutually beneficial symbiosis.
After Zhao Yuan understood the pattern of the two people, he began to guard Yuan Liang. Finally, when Tang Xuesui was about to enter the sect for further study with the resources of her husband's family, he blocked Yuan Liang, and Yuan Liang was trying to escape without success. Under such circumstances, he took out the murder weapon that killed his father and placed it across his throat.
All this is to use his own death to allow Tang Xuesui to live a clean life in the world.
"The day I met you, I knew that you would not let me go. However, I have escaped from you for more than ten years and have made a lot of money..."
After all, the person Yuan Liang faced was Zhao Yuan, a legendary figure who had solved many strange cases.
"Fifteen years, these fifteen years, I have been thinking about you."
Zhao Yuan spoke with deep affection.
Because the name of this story is "Middle-aged Zhao Yuan", it is meant to highlight Zhao Yuan after all. Therefore, the detective was deleted from the section where the truth is revealed in the story. Everything was discovered by Zhao Yuan, and there was no death of the detective. , there is no death of Tang Xuesui's adoptive mother, and in addition to the need to conform to Taiyuan's climate, and the ending in the original work being too brief, Chen Yue stitched together the ending of the movie version.
"There was a problem with the direction of my investigation back then. Later, every time I thought about the look in your eyes, I felt very guilty. It was only recently that I finally pieced together the clues..."
This section also reflects Zhao Yuan’s personal arc.
"The testimonies of your mother and your friend are different. They were actually doing errands that day, and you were locked in the room, and then you left from the roof. This should be your usual way of coping..."
"At the scene of the crime, only the boy had the physical strength to climb up and down. Tang Xuesui did not have this physical ability..."
"..."
"After all impossibilities have been eliminated, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth."
"After that day, Tang Xuesui never showed his true colors to others, and for Tang Xuesui, you have been walking on the rooftops to this day, and have never been down to earth..."
The truth about Yuan Liang's father-killing was revealed, and behind it was Yuan Liang's mother's adulterer. After combing through all the unexplained clues in the book, the reasoning section ended.
Zhao Yuan shouted to Yuan Liang: "Fifteen years ago, when I met your eyes, I was thinking, if I had a son, what would he be like, what kind of life would he have? Before I knew it, my thoughts were pinned on you..."
"What kind of story do you have? What kind of thoughts do you have? What kind of person are you? Let's talk openly and honestly, let me love you, let me be your father, you will be sent to the Yamen for acceptance Punishment, but everything will be fine..."
Faced with such emotional words, Yuan Liang's eyes were bright, but he still stabbed his own throat with a knife, and then fell from the house.
Zhao Yuan stepped forward to catch it, stretched out his hand to press it, and wanted to treat it, but he knew it was in vain. He was used to seeing all kinds of corpses.
Suddenly feeling someone around him, Zhao Yuan raised his head and saw Tang Xuesui's snow-like face looking down.
"who is he?"
Zhao Yuan stared into Tang Xuesui's eyes.
"I do not know him."
Tang Xuesui's expression was as expressionless as a doll's.
The people around him started to take over Yuan Liang's body. Zhao Yuan looked at Tang Xuesui's figure in the crowd. Her leaving figure was like a white ghost, and she never looked back.
The story ends here.
"Wow, Chen Yue..."
Readers immediately felt uncomfortable after reading this.
"How could such a thing be written?"
Children's faces have always been young and innocent, but the ugliness in the world happened to children, which made people feel angry. Later, Tang Xuesui and Yuan Liang did many ugly things. That was the family education they were exposed to. Caused by.
What is called socialism is to expose the ugliness of human nature and the gloom of society. After reading this, it usually makes people feel depressed for a long time.
There is no earth-shattering ending. The end of this story is only suffocatingly dull.
The past of the hero and heroine is regrettable, but what they have done subsequently is a real crime.
"Some people really don't deserve to be parents. It makes me want to vomit."
"Yuan Liang is too soft, Wu Song comes and kills them all!"
"What's the end of the story? Tang Xuesui just got away like this?"
"Because Yuan Liang shouldered all the blame in exchange for Tang Xuesui being able to walk under the sun."
"I think Tang Xuesui made full use of Yuan Liang and got rid of him directly."
"Yuan Liang's death is the retribution of Tang Xuesui, a witch."
"So Yuan Liang and Tang Xuesui are not together because of ethics? Tang Xuesui was touched by Yuan Hang, so he can't touch her?"
There are many interpretations about the end of this volume. The most recognized one is to bear all the guilt in exchange for the other party to be able to escape from the matter. Therefore, once the relationship is turned back, the relationship between the two people is exposed, and the sacrifice of the other party is also Worthless.
Tang Xuesui left without looking back because Yuan Liang broke through the defense.
A small number of people think that after using people, they no longer have any use for them, so they leave without looking back.
As an author, Higashino Keigo should be leaning towards the second option, because he wrote another "Phantom Night", the overall story is similar to Byakuya Walk, in which the heroine Shinkai Mifuyu has many hints that she is related to Karasawa Yukiho, and may even be A person, and in Fantasy Night, the heroine gets rid of people after using them, and ends up in a high position.
However, readers did not buy Keigo Higashino's opinion and unanimously classified Fantasy Night as a bad book. Since this book was classified as a bad book, Chen Yue had no interest in plagiarizing. After throwing out the ending, the rest It’s left to anyone’s guess.
Again, after writing, it has nothing to do with the author. Readers can interpret it however they want.
"vomit……"
Guan Zhian held his throat and vomited for a while. Originally, he was very unhappy with Chen Yue, and there was a bad ending in Water Margin. Guan Zhian came here specifically to have fun, hoping that Chen Yue would die immediately at the ending. But I don't want to make myself depressed.
The staying power of the book "Middle-Aged Zhao Yuan" is so great that it makes Guan Zhi'an feel like he's going through the motions.
He has never experienced a depressive book before, but he encountered it today.
Zhao Xiu also closed the scroll and felt like he had been shot through the air.
