Chapter 392 Super logic!
"Chinese Ladder" You can tell by the name who it is for.
The appearance of "China" in foreign mystery novels is not necessarily a good thing. For example, Quinn's famous country name series "The Mystery of Chinese Oranges" has nothing to do with oranges, but there are many stereotypes about China in it. Bernardo's works are not like this. He knows very well that when you come to someone else's territory, if you want to achieve good results, you have to boast!
The third and fourth people on stage were from South Korea, who performed consecutively according to the request of the instructor at Korea University. This is a trick that South Korea has learned since last year, when the International Cultural Student Festival featured two performances per country—three by the organizers. Coherence makes people more impressive, and South Korea likes to pay attention to these aspects.
After performing "" and "Arirang" successively, the former aroused quite a reaction, especially the cooperation between Kim Tae-eun and two other female classmates. The South Korean girl group dances really well, not to mention the song title translated into Chinese is probably "explosion", which explains the problem even more.
The hot dance and the previous "Dragon and Lion Fight" have received very good responses. The folk dance caught in the middle is a bit uncomfortable...
Dong-A News and POP News started filming, and also used a journalistic montage to place the scene of the audience's enthusiastic response to the girl group dance on the "Arirang" singing stage led by Park Go-young.
The news headlines have been thought out: "The traditional folk song "Alang-ri" sung by the Korea University student team has attracted much attention in China, and countries are full of expectations for South Korean traditional culture!"
As for South Korean MVP Kim Tae-eun, there are almost no shots. It is normal that when South Korea was founded, there were a large number of "frontline warriors who earned US dollars", "foreign princesses" and "American and Korean civilian diplomats". This is not to dig up dark history, but to illustrate that this kind of montage is normal.
In the South Korean area, Kim Tae-eun was being touched by classmates, and there were also more outgoing and bold European students and Africans who came to chat with them.
"We performed very well this time!" Park Goyoung said, "Singing and dancing are the most suitable for this occasion."
Students from Korea University also excitedly echoed in Korean: "It's so noisy that reading text will definitely be affected." "Can you read in this situation?" "I can't. In this situation, who is a serious student reading?" "I Looking at the program, it seems that there are two French and Portuguese writers. "Then let's be more indifferent when reading the Chinese writer's article." "Good idea!"
We started talking, and the more we talked, the more excited we became. Some people fantasized about getting priority in choosing a spouse in school after returning to China.
Kim Tae-eun did not participate in the discussion of nihilistic self-pleasure. She grew up in a poor family, and her two older brothers dropped out of school to raise enough tuition for her. So she just wanted to make money. Thinking of making money, Kim Tae-eun's eyes drifted towards the basketball court——
That’s where Neon and Turkey live.
"It's unexpectedly good-looking. Korea University is also a famous university in South Korea. The lead dancer is beautiful and well-educated. You are familiar with Kang Fu-san. You can introduce me to him later." Sakai from the University of Tsukuba said immediately.
As a result, Sakai found that he called out, but no one answered. Sakai looked over and found that Kang Fusan was also absent-minded, looking at something unknown.
"Kangfu-san?" Sakai shouted again in a louder voice.
I saw Kang Fusanye's eyes gradually regaining focus, as if he had come back to his senses, but not completely. Sakai heard captain Fu Kang muttered to himself, "When will Teacher Gu Lu's works be brought out? I heard from Huaxia students that Gu Teacher Lu’s new work is very exciting! ”
"?" Sakai really didn't realize that his captain was still a book lover.
Next up is Türkiye...
Türkiye's Hürriyet newspaper and television stations are preparing.
Gu Lu felt that the most valuable thing about this event held by Zhejiang University was that the reporter team invited was very strong. All the well-known newspapers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces must be here, and reporters from Yangma are also carrying long guns and short guns.
Of course, in addition to professional journalists, there are also news organizations from outside Zhejiang. Because of this scene, I didn’t even go home during the summer vacation.
Two classmates carried the club's professional equipment and started shooting.
"Hey, hey, hey, where are you taking the photo? Do you want to add chicken legs? Turkey has already come on stage and started performing. Why are you shooting South Korean female students? What we shoot is to be put on the Internet for publicity." Zhejiang Foreign News Agency The president of the company positioned the camera so that it was pointed at the stage instead of the runway.
The student from Zhejiang University who was in charge of the photography reluctantly muttered to adjust the lens. He felt that as a photographer, if he shoots according to his ideas, the audience will give him chicken legs...
Students outside Zhejiang are very busy, whether they are news agencies or volunteers, even the school leaders are like this.
"Dean Fu, why do you want to adjust the order of appearances?" asked the instructor Yang Xing. Portugal's Bernardo's "China's Ladder" was suddenly moved to the front of Gu Lu's work, followed by France.
"Since it is a written work, it must be put together. In this way, it will be better for the students who are watching." Dean Fu said, "The instructors at the Sorbonne University and the University of Lisbon will be very moved if they know about it. ”
Yang Xing stared at the dean. Dirty, really dirty. As long as Gu Lu plays at an ordinary level, both Portugal and France will be in trouble.
The eighth person to take the stage was Dean Fu. After all, it was the dean who had seen strong winds and waves, so he could handle the scene in front of him.
"The Italian film pioneer Giotto Canudo published the Seventh Art Manifesto at the beginning of the last century. Poetry, music, dance, art, architecture, drama, and film are the seventh art." Dean Fu said, “Many of these arts are built on words.”
You see, Dean Fu personally acted as the master of ceremonies.
“The previous performances by students from Korea University, Lisbon University, Ankara University, etc. all opened our eyes.” Dean Fu said, “The International Student Cultural Festival outside Zhejiang is to promote exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations and serve new international relations. A vivid practice. I hope that our teachers and students from Zhejiang Province can work with classmates and teachers from various countries to create brand activities that promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations and actively participate in non-governmental foreign education cooperation and exchanges.”
"I won't go into details. There were a lot of good words at the 5th International Student Cultural Festival. Now we will appreciate the wonderful works of Bernardo, a student from the University of Lisbon in Portugal."
When you get on stage, you control the audience for a few minutes. You first speak in Chinese, and then you speak again in English. Under the current circumstances, English is still the greatest common denominator.
This set of wheel talk must exist.
It was during this period that more than a dozen volunteers quietly distributed Bernardo's work "Ladder to China" to eighteen teams. Each group has five photocopied manuscripts.
Gu Lu took it seriously and said that "Ladder to China" is a bit smarter than "Paris Murders". It can be said that the former stands on the shoulders of the latter. The ladder in the article refers to the invisible ladder, which is how the murderer climbed up to a height of seven meters to commit the crime. The detective is Portuguese, and the assistant is an Italian who is proficient in Chinese culture and is also superstitious...a hodgepodge.
The superstitious Italians suddenly talked about something... In Chinese legends, there is a ladder that can make people become gods and immortals, which is invisible to ordinary people. Just like this case, the murderer used the invisible ladder to overturn the case. This element was a bit forced, but Gu Lu chose to forgive it, because as a foreigner, it was not easy for Bernardo to understand the difference between gods and immortals. After all, in English culture, the translation of god is god, but immortal is often translated as immortal.
Bernardo deserves praise for being able to describe the difference between the two in Portuguese. Moreover, the overall framework of the article is excellent. Even if this translated version is submitted to "World of Reasoning", 80-90% of the time it will be accepted.
Half an hour later, Dean Fu came on stage again. When he asked whether "Chinese Ladder" was good to watch, the audience burst into applause.
"Crash!"
The applause was quite loud, with the South Korean region applauding the loudest, even more loudly than the Portuguese region.
Stable!
This word floated in the minds of the two people.
One is the author Bernardo. Hearing the applause, he has brought glory to the country and casts his peripheral vision at the journalists in the southeast. There were reporters taking pictures, so if you pay attention to the impact, Bernardo straightened his waist again. At this moment, he seemed to feel that the curly hairs on his head were all straight.
Another person who came up with this idea was France's "foreign aid" Franz.
Franz is indeed a foreign aid due to his age and status. He is twenty-eight years old and is an editor and writer. The reason why foreign aid is put in quotation marks is because Sorbonne University did not deliberately look for it. It is relatively easy for European and American adults to continue studying in college. Franz just wanted to give himself a college life, so he went to the university closest to his workplace.
"As a mystery novel, the ending is reduced by at least 30 points. If it were a manuscript written by me, I would definitely send it back to the author for revision," Franz sneered. China can become an invisible ladder to immortality. The mystery is so gorgeous, but the answer is ...The killer is very good at rock climbing, so he can just go up.
Ending: Maybe there really is a ladder to heaven, but this ladder is not external, but inside his heart. If he climbs up, he can become his own immortal.
I also wanted to write a golden ending, but Franz commented that he didn’t know what to say.
"The winner this time should be me, or the Chinese writer Gu Winwin and I." Franz still respects Gu Lu, the writer who caused the national anthem to be sung in the square, even though he has not watched "The Genius of One Night".
Then came Gu Lu's works, which were also distributed to students from more than 30 schools in the audience through the hands of volunteer students.
In comparison, the Chinese version of "Ladder to China" has more than 14,000 words, and "Walking Nine Miles" has only a few thousand words. In terms of length, the latter has lost.
"Chinese student writers are not as good as our country's student writers!" the Portuguese student thought to himself.
"No matter how good-looking you are, you can't have big expressions or big movements." South Korean students reminded each other. "The article is a bit short, Teacher Gu Lu is so confident." Neon student exclaimed.
Waiting for various reactions, the students began to look at it.
The combination of being outdoors and crowded is really not suitable for reading. Just now, at least one-tenth of the students did not watch "Chinese Ladder" seriously, but just glanced at it for show.
Agnes, a beautiful student painter from the University of Padua in Italy, is also the internet celebrity with millions of fans on YouTube as mentioned by Kim Tae-eun.
Despite her blond hair and blue eyes, she looks like a literary goddess, but she has never liked reading since she was a child.
But she couldn't destroy the persona of the goddess of literature and art in the eyes of others... So Agnes pretended to look serious.
[At the dinner of the French Association of Excellent Governments, I (Dibaud Pompon) turned myself into an idiot with a speech, and the next day at breakfast at the Blue Moon restaurant, Professor Gu forced me into it again. Desperate situation...]
First-person reasoning is too common in case reasoning, whether it is from the detective's perspective or Watson's perspective. Obviously this article is the latter, the perspective of the detective's assistant.
The chapter begins with a very brief introduction. “I” am Dibaud Pampon, a rookie diplomat from Paris. Professor Gu is a professor of logical linguistics at a French college. Both of us came to the meeting at the invitation of local officials.
It wasn't because Gu Lu knew so few French people that he had to use Dibo's name. Mainly, um... Why is Peng Pang, the French Embassy in China, not considered a French element?
Dibo and Professor Gu got into an argument over differences in logical inferences. Professor Gu believes that logical inference can deduce the correct answer, but Dibo believes that logical inference is just speculation. It is entirely possible that a logic is correct, but the inferred thing may be wrong.
"Give me a sentence of 10 to 12 words. Then I will build a logical chain of inferences that you never thought of when you constructed the sentence."
"Walking nine miles is no easy task, especially in the rain." The me in the book is the problem Dibo gave.
The English is: Anine-milewalkisnojoke, especiallyintherain. It is satisfying, and the Italian is just as satisfying. Anyway, it will be modified according to the language of each country.
Along with Dibo's problem, Professor Gu's ultimate linguistic logic began.
"The rain was not expected, or you would have said: a nine-mile walk in the rain was no easy task, rather than using the phrase 'especially' to express an afterthought."
"The person who said this was not an athlete or someone who spent much time in the outdoors. Again, it's the 'especially' phrase. The speaker didn't say that walking nine miles in the rain was no easy task, he just said walking - mind you, it's just the distance: not Easy. In fact, nine miles isn't half that long just walking an 18-hole golf course, and golf is an old man's game."
Agnes's eyes moved, as if she seemed interested.
What kind of flowers can be derived from a few words?
Immediately afterwards, Professor Gu in the story made an assumption: the intention of speaking was not frivolous, that is, the speaker was talking about a walk that he had already experienced, and the purpose of the walk was not to win a bet or something similar.
That's right, if you don't make a basic setting, there will be too many possibilities in the early stage. Agnes suddenly thought, "Why did Dibo suddenly say this sentence? Because this sentence appeared without beginning or end."
Professor Gu set the location of the walk in the town of Ginita, a small town in northern France where they are now.
"This walk took place late at night or early in the morning - or between 12 o'clock at midnight and five or six o'clock in the morning."
Continue to peel off the cocoon and lay out the reasons one by one.
Agnes' eyes were stunned because she felt the charm of logic.
"My next inference is that the speaker is going to a definite place and must arrive at a certain time."
Why, because the number nine miles is so accurate. Not two or three miles, not about miles.
If you think about it, even Agnes, who usually doesn't like reading, can be fascinated by it.
Because "Walking Nine Miles" is not as good as the previous Chinese Ladder, there is basically no foreshadowing, and even the case does not appear, just start solving the puzzles directly!
The key is that this reasoning is simple and logical, and the threshold for acceptance is very low.
The place was noisy.
Why? Because there are about ten to eighteen students from each country, but there are only five manuscripts.
When a person looks at something with concentration and fascination, the people next to him will be very curious.
Carefully distinguish the noise, they are all "Have you finished reading? Show me" "Is it so exciting? You can't take your eyes away" "It's my turn, it's my turn" "It's such a short article, you haven't finished it yet?" ……
Just like Sakai and Yasufu Sanye in the neon team.
"Is it okay? Kang Fu-san, you are moving too slowly." After three urgings from Sakai, Kang Fu Sanye finally finished reading.
"Bring it here!" Sakai couldn't wait a moment and immediately grabbed it to see for himself.
The two are very close friends, so there are no worries about their seniors between actions.
"It's so wonderful, it's really wonderful. I am worthy of being a writer who can write a masterpiece like "The Devotion of Suspect X"." Kang Fusanye felt a desire to express himself from his chest to his throat, and he couldn't help it at all.
Kangfu Sanye said with a small mouth, "You know, 'Walking nine miles is not easy, especially in the rain.' This sentence was heard by a supporting character in a bar. People are like this. When you hear some words, you won't You know when it will come out of your mouth. Unexpectedly, just because of this sentence, it started to make logical deductions like a super computer..."
"...Kang Fu-san, please shut up, I'm reading this article!" Sakai couldn't help it and scolded the other party.
It's true, spoilers are so annoying. So Kang Fu Sanye could bear it for the time being.
A few minutes later, Yasutomi Sanye said, "Sakai, your reading speed is slower than a horizontal beam."
Yokogi is a student they often bully in school. He is a person who studies hard even though he has dyslexia.
The sound on the playground was getting more and more heated because the first five people in each area started discussing after reading it.
Eventually I finished reading the second batch.
"Although the location of this town is too coincidental, the reasoning is really exciting!"
"Is it far-fetched? I have been to the town of Guinita, and then I checked it on Google Maps. The situation is basically the same as what is written in the book."
"No difference, really?"
"My hair is standing on end, my God, this Chinese writer is too exaggerated!"
Gu Lu shot the arrow first and then drew the target. He took the map and searched specifically according to the original situation. Gu Lu didn't know whether the original article was a fictional town name or something else. Anyway, he wanted to make it real to add a sense of reasoning to the article. After two days, Gu Lu found it.
It doesn't sound like much, but in France it sounds very scary.
And this news was released through the air of French students, seeming to set off ripples in the lake.
Human-to-human transmission.
The atmosphere in the whole room was full of discussion!
