On the genre of mystery novels

I have always liked Jin Tianyi's novels, which should belong to the borderline school, focusing on the mystery of killing methods and the bizarre horror of the background. However, since the 1970s, japanese mystery has increasingly emphasized the importance of solving puzzles by killing methods, so the word "changing cases" is rarely used now, and it is generally regarded as Benguer school. The subdivision should be romantic girl. There is a representative model called "Blizzard Villa". Jin Tianyi also has many works of this model.

The difference between Benguer School and Social School is that the spirit of Benguer School lies in "solving puzzles", while the creative spirit of Social School lies in "criticizing society and describing human nature".

Five schools of mystery novels: Bengo, suspense, society, court and ruthlessness.

-Ben Gul's most orthodox mystery novel pays attention to fairness and needs to provide clues for readers to participate in reasoning.

-suspense school pays more attention to chance than fairness, and can hide clues or even provide clues.

-Socialists appeared to refute Benguer's degeneration into a paper game, pay attention to motives, criticize social phenomena, exclude celebrities, and give a profound description of human nature.

-The Palace School is a mystery novel with the palace as the main background.

-Cold-hearted faction is in command with action, and the reasoning taste is relatively weak.

Ben Gul: ABC murder (agatha christie), the secret of French white powder (ellery queen).

Suspense school: Eight Tombs Village (), sugar-coated trap (Korea).

Court College: Reasonable Doubt (Philip Friedman) and Stepdaughter's Secret (Stanley Gardner).

School of Sociology: The soul broke the end of the world (Seiichi Morimura), the tool of sand (Seicho Matsumoto).

Cold school: Street of Desire (Kitakhira-San) and Shinjuku Shark (with Masazawa).

What needs to be added is that the difference between the original case and the variant case is generally aimed at the focus of the novel. Mainly to implement the method of killing and solving puzzles, it is usually called the original case; Focusing on other aspects, such as the murderer's motive, the relationship between the murderer and the victim, etc., is often called variation. Just like Seishi Yokomizo's Jin Tianyi Daisuke series, in most cases, the method of killing people is simple, but the motive is complicated. Many times, as long as we know the motive, we will know the murderer.
