For example, the division of plants:

1. Spore reproduction -2

2. No vascular bundles-algae and bryophytes.

2. Forming vascular bundles-ferns

1. Seed propagation -3

3. Naked seeds and ovules-gymnosperms

3. The seed coat has seeds and the ovule has integuments-angiosperms.

Here, "1" is divided into spore propagation and seed propagation, and all plants can be classified into one of these two categories. If it meets the requirements of "spore propagation", skip to "2" for further inspection; if it meets the requirements of "seed propagation", skip to "3" for further inspection. Then all plants that reproduce with seeds, seeds and ovules are either naked or not. The second half of 1 is further divided according to whether the seeds and ovules are bare or not. */

19. The whole book has great suspense or series of suspense, with fast pace and strong suspense. But it is not to pursue sensory stimulation or curiosity as a means, but to attract readers through the cracking of the above suspense (only necessary conditions, not sufficient conditions, that is, clues are not enough, but they must be unique and convincing). -20 thriller suspense school

20. The protagonist has been pursued, and the story revolves around the process of pursuing escape and counter-pursuing. Strong thriller, fast pace, reasoning is mostly on the spot, and some works rarely reason. -thriller suspense.-escape and kill Yapi

Usually, bloody murder is no longer regarded as a game away from life. -22 Realistic School

22. Detectives use Poirot investigation to collect clues and solve difficult problems. That is to say, first make assumptions and then search, first suspect one by one and then find evidence: first make or successively make various assumptions, each of which corresponds to a suspect, then find clues according to the assumptions and finally convict. ——23

Reasoning focuses on the details of daily life. -Neo-Benghazi Doctrine-Daily Reasoning Process

Representative writer: Shui Ze Sui Xin. Representative work "sogou Office".

23. Typical social narrative style. Most of the people who investigate and solve puzzles are police, and the cases are basically murders, which happened at the beginning.

Although solving puzzles is not the first element, its position is still very important, even ranking as the first element to reflect the theme of the novel. -social school-localized sub-social school

Representative writer: Seiichi Morimura (early debut). The representative work "The Dead Corner of High-rise Hotel".

22. Detectives use Sherlock Holmes to collect clues and solve puzzles. In other words, search before hypothesis (including the "search before hypothesis" sent by the court), the evidence is doubtful enough: first collect a large number of physical evidence and witnesses, then determine the investigation direction from the existing evidence, and then determine the suspect. Once confirmed, arrest and convict immediately (because the evidence is basically found). ——24

24. Emphasize the indispensable position of detective in the novel, and highlight the detective's personality and charm. This case exists to create the image of a detective. Detectives often work alone and most of them are single. The police (or colleagues, if the detective is a policeman) often do not cooperate with the detective, or even steal information to block it. Gangster opponents and JC spies are common, and there are often violent fighting scenes. -25 tough guys

26. The villains appear at the beginning. They are often serial killers or recidivists, and often set up novelty hunting scenes or commit characteristic serial crimes in open scenes.

Reasoning is mostly on the spot and immediate. -tough guy school or new school-gifted scholar school (Divya school +Robinia school)

Representative writers: Wensel (Free Will Series), Bill Pronik, etc. The masterpiece Fog.

25. The location of the puzzle is not important or important. Novels are sometimes misleading and reversed, but they are not the focus (the focus is on characterization, especially detectives). Ben Gul has few tricks. Reasoning is also to analyze and predict the criminal's action law, motivation, psychological state and so on. ——27

27. The protagonist works in the judicial organs, and the corresponding judicial or lawyer institutions will fully cooperate with his work. ——28

28. The survey method is to search first and then assume that the search process is the center of gravity. The protagonist is JC or JC group, and the main scene of the story is not in court-tough guy school-police program school.

24. Highly weaken the role of a single person (especially for detectives) in solving crimes. Detectives are mostly police groups, or humble small roles, and sometimes criminals and victims themselves. The detective's position as an individual in the story is not very important, even dispensable. Do not advocate or deny the mode of going it alone and being a detective. Emphasis on multi-party cooperation in the process of solving crimes, that is, the power of groups (society). Opponents participate in collusion between government and business, and political conspirators are common, so as to expose the dark side of society and human nature. -29 social schools
