Chapter 266 Lao Zhang, what do you think?(2/2)
"If you look at the story alone, the story of this novel is not complicated. As a police officer, Yan Shouzhong and his colleague Lei Jianming came to an island to investigate the disappearance of a female mental prisoner, Zhang Peilan. Zhang Peilan was accused of murder.
My three children are highly dangerous.
After arriving on the island, the weather was bad, which increased the isolation of the island and the mysterious atmosphere of the story. During the investigation, Yan Shuzhong and Lei Jianming discovered that the staff of the mental hospital seemed to be hiding something from them.
At the same time, he is also troubled by the nightmare of his wife's death.
As the investigation deepened, Yan Shuzhong discovered that there might be illegal human experiments on the island. He thought he had found clues to the disappearance, but it turned out that he was the one suffering from schizophrenia.
Zhang Peilan is the name of his wife, and she did kill their children because of mental illness. Unable to accept this reality, Yan Shouzhong created the identity of a police officer to try to escape the pain in his heart.
And his colleague Lei Jianming was actually the doctor in charge of him, and the entire investigation process was actually a carefully designed drama designed to help him face and accept the truth."
"This is my simple summary of the story. I just said that this story is not complicated, but it is extremely sophisticated and deep in structure and narrative.
In Chaoyang, he used the isolated island and bad weather to create a layer of mystery. At the narrative level, he adopted a non-linear narrative structure, skillfully interweaving reality and fantasy, past and present, forming a multi-layered narrative.
This narrative method of his first showed its prowess in "The Summer of Raiko", went further in "The Death of Van Gogh", and in this novel, it can be said to be perfect.
This narrative method is more like a narrative trap, but when you watch it, you can't help but be immersed in it, and have the urge to uncover the mystery step by step.
Comparing Chaoyang's previous works, it is obvious that in this novel, he focused more on technique.
This creative trend of his appeared in "The Summer of Raiko", but his skills at that time were not as sophisticated as they are now.
If I had to use one word to sum up this work, I would give it two words: dazzling skills.
Of course, his dazzling skills did not ignore the story itself, on the contrary, it added a mysterious color to the story and made his style unique."
After some conversation, Liu Xinwu finally expressed the thoughts he had been holding in his heart for the past two days, and looked at Zhang Shouren with eager eyes, "Old Zhang, what do you think?"
