鸟，看见我了

by A Yi

《鸟,看见我了》：一个夜晚，一个外地人为何突然出现镇上，仅以一把小刀，连杀六人？却能无罪释放？到底他为何杀人，并在一个夜晚两个小时内杀掉六个人？而这六个人到底有何关系？ 他从不与人多说一句话，唯一一次醉酒时，说鸟看见我了，鸟看见我了？鸟看见他什么了？这句话背后到底藏何秘密？一辆公交车发生爆炸，死亡20余人，肢体残骸四处散落，惨不忍睹。没有任何线索，公交车上的人互不认识，甚至连尸体都没有一个完整，杀手到底是谁？活着还是死了？如果活着，他为何要爆炸一辆公交车，如果死了，一个死人如何来对他定罪？只有一个模糊看见的面孔，表情扭曲，似乎极极害怕，爆炸是一瞬间的事情，为何他会有如此表情？他到底是谁？剩下的两个无人认领的尸体究竟是谁？
《鸟,看见我了》为阿乙力作，处处伏笔，丝丝入扣，层层推进。时有意外却合理，给人柳暗花明的畅快，然而又常给人一种似幻似真的感觉。留有余韵。笔为刀，笔为绳，笔为手，文字时旖旎，时华丽，时暴烈，时温柔，丰富展现了人在极端环境的逼迫下，人的幻灭，孤独，癫狂，甚至善良和原罪，乃至我不可活，人人不可活的绝望与挣扎。

—— “I gradually know that it’s a right to write, or play the guitar, or invent rockets. It’s a right to communicate with God alone. It doesn’t need a priest, a church, or a witness. When it gets dark, God will come down. "

"A bird, saw me", published in 2010. It is a collection of short stories, and almost every story recorded in it is about a murder case.

A Yi, formerly known as Ai Guozhu. Born in Rui Chang, Jiangxi in 1976. He has worked as a policeman, sports editor, and literary editor. Representative works: "A bird, saw me", "Below, what should I do", etc.

"Detective Conan" is a Japanese anime I loved when I was a kid. The complicated and cumbersome killing skills in the story are impressive. Clever criminal methods and criminal motives that are worth sympathy should also exist in reality. But for most murderers, I think the motives and means of committing crimes may be extremely ordinary. This is the real world of ordinary people.

Li Jixi is just a rebellious peasant worker. He was carrying the 3,000 yuan he had received for his life, and he was uneasy on the train, afraid of being snatched. His grievances, weakness, and panic are intertwined, like a gunpowder barrel that is getting more and more compact. The local Zhao Facai in the Hongwu County contempt him. In the usual, Li Jixi may usually keep silent. But on a rainy night, he broke out completely, killing six people in a row with a fruit knife stolen from the supermarket.

Accountant Feng Botao killed the policeman He Lao’er, but he promised in advance to elementary school teacher Chen Mingyi that he would pay dialysis for his father and promised marriage and diamond ring to the widow Li Xilan. The former became the scapegoat. The latter perjured it and made an absence certificate.

Farmer Zhu Qiushi had a great enthusiasm for thinking about the meaning of life, and he finally concluded that there are only two options in life. Either kill time or commit suicide. His research conclusions were not recognized by the academic community, and he was mocked by the people around him as aliens. In the end, he chose to hang himself.

Dazhi 's relationship with the same sex was met by his father, which angered his father. His father's obstruction of his pursuit of love made him want to die. Wu Jun ’s female soul is imprisoned in a male body, and he is ridiculed and insulted by those around him. In the end, they chose to use a big bang to make the biggest protest in their lives.

Shan Dexing killed the village woman Huo Xiang because of the attempted rape. Huo Xiang's death sentence, "A bird, saw you", let him live in the shadow of fear. Until he was finally arrested, he was finally relieved.

According to unreliable data on the Internet, in 2017, about 0.6 people per 100,000 people in China died in homicides. This means that 0.84 million people may be killed each year among 1.4 billion people, and an average of 23 people will be killed every day.

Apart from the few people who have fun from killing, most of the murders seem to be passionate killings. Because the emotions are out of control for a while, it is difficult to restrain themselves, and thus embark on the path of destroying others and destroying yourself. Therefore, a person must manage one's own emotions. But "Management" here does not mean "depression."

Depression cannot eliminate the negative emotions inside. On the contrary, it will make the accumulation of negative emotions worse. Once erupted, like a volcanic torrent, it will tear up some of the blocks in front of it until it exhausts all its strength.

喜欢《情人节爆炸案》，算是唯一一个和推理有点关系的故事。

写得很好的小镇怪谈，一个炸裂的壳里糅合了很多世纪初看故事会里的那种怪故事。多角度叙事可以像鲁班锁一样把故事扣成一体，需要足够功夫塑造叙述人的第一人称形象和第三人称形象，大部分故事写的技巧很好，但有时也觉得技巧性大于内涵意味了，最喜欢第一篇意外杀人事件
