After graduating from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Osaka Prefectural University, he worked as a production technical engineer at Denso Corporation in Japan, and at the same time he also wrote mystery novels. The Edogawa Ranpo Award for mystery novels. When he was in his teens, he was deeply moved by reading "Archimedes Killing People with a Borrowed Sword" by Xiaofeng Yuan, and later read Matsumoto Qingzhang and other works.Eager to try, he wrote his first full-length novel with a theme of major social issues. However, he temporarily stopped writing his second novel when he was in college because he was rejected by his classmates.

In 1983, "The House of Dolls" was submitted for the Edogawa Ranpo Award and was unsuccessful; in 1984, it was shortlisted, but failed to win; in the third year, it used the background of youthful campus reasoning and integrated the mystery of high school girls. Traits, together with Hiroshi Mori's "Mozart Doesn't Sing Lullabies", won the 31st Edogawa Ranpo Award. Keigo Higashino, who made his debut with a halo, resigned from his stable job in Osaka the year after winning the award and went to Tokyo to devote himself to writing. However, he has struggled for more than 20 years, except for winning the 50th prize with a book in 1999. Except for the 2nd Japan Mystery Writers Association Award, he always passed away with big and small awards; until he won the affirmation of multiple awards with love and tricks, he once again earned a position and seat in the reasoning literary world. The process can be described as arduous. .

Comparing Keigo Higashino's style changes from the early, middle to recent works, if judged by the ratio of puzzle solving and storytelling.In the early days, most of the works were based on the puzzle-solving type, with clean and uncontaminated features. From books such as , etc., you can understand its trick-centered thoughts; while dealing with mysteries and tricks in the middle period, the motivation and human nature It also appears quite clearly, and it can be said to be the best work among them; however, recently, it has integrated ingenious mysteries into a strong story, such as books such as .

It is actually interesting to look back at the creative trajectory of Keigo Higashino.Its debut scene is a girls' high school, from the dual-line foundation of youth and restlessness, gradually to obscure and heavy emotions; "Graduation: Xueyuehua Murder Game", , and other works challenge the theme of the secret room, and the identity of the detective is a college student; The Murder in Student Street and The Clown of the Cross House are both novels with young people as the main characters.It can be seen that Keigo Higashino liked to challenge the composition of secret rooms in his early creations, and he often used young people as the protagonists of the stories.

Published in the late 1980s, it has a high degree of puzzle-solving style, full of pure and neat advantages.Although it is not as strong as the critical and social nature of the previous works, the realism still shines. The theory of fate, social injustice, and the darkness of human nature can be glimpsed in this book, and these features later became the writing of Keigo Higashino. The object depicted on Dajia. This book takes the enterprise as the stage, starts with the pregnancy of a female employee, and brings out the lives of three young men who have physical relations with her. In order to protect their status and future in the company, they jointly plan to kill this Women, through the division of labor and cooperation to create each other's alibi, it can be described as a perfect crime.Such a setting is ingenious, quite Patricia.Patricia Highsmith's "Strangers on a Train" trades ideas and gimmicks for killing and finding no motive.

It is mainly based on the usual beginning of crime novels, with a suspenseful and tense atmosphere. In the middle, it reveals the injustice caused by blood and nepotism in society, as well as the people who are trying to survive in the cracks, but perhaps many people are hiding this. On the contrary, the ambition and the attitude of seeking profit make readers fully feel the power and taste of darkness. Although the author didn't write it very clearly, but after careful distinction, it can still be found that there are two major items in the events in the book.One is the death of an employee suspected of being a business accident, and the other is the conception and execution of a relay killing.

The first turning point in this book is the fact that the corpse was repackaged, which made the original perfect plan stalemate, and also promoted the progress of the overall work content, making this work truly a work that focuses on solving puzzles and reasoning.In addition, the uneasy factors of the partner's personal traits, whether the attitude is firm or not, and the suspicion and ambiguity among several people may also be the main reasons for breaking the balance of this terror. "Brutus" is the name of the robot, which only acts according to the design of the program. It is not like human beings who have abundant emotions, love-hate entanglements, and emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy; compared with human beings, it may be much simpler.However, the real society was originally formed on the basis of human beings, and the "human" factor occupies an extremely important position in the collage and composition of the overall crime composition; in the process of the protagonist and the police investigating the case, the missing links are gradually picked up, allowing the Intricate human relationships come to the fore, and the full picture of events unfolds in front of readers.

In the creation process of more than 20 years, Keigo Higashino created several famous detectives, the famous ones are Kyoichiro Kaga series, Daigoro Tenkaichi series and Yukawaxue series.Kyoichiro Kaga appeared in "Graduation: Setsugekka Murder Game" and appeared again. His identity has changed from a student to a criminal police officer, and the connotation of the work has also begun to undergo qualitative changes and leaps in levels. ,,, etc. are all famous works among them.Furthermore, there are not many works with Tianxia Daigoro as the protagonist in the series, such as "The Code of the Famous Detective" and "The Curse of the Famous Detective". Their styles are light-hearted, humorous, and sarcastic.As for the shaping of Tang Chuanxue’s series of detectives, it can be said to return to the author’s personal learning. The first work is based on the rational scientific spirit, breaking all kinds of incredible events and myths, and is also rich in such characteristics. , using scientific rational logic to analyze the ending.The previous works were mainly short stories, and Yu Chuanxue's personal characteristics were not clear, but he reappeared in "The Appearance of Suspect X", and his personality characteristics were greatly strengthened in order to sum up the duel with the mathematics genius Ishigami. "Saint's Redemption", etc.

In addition to these series, there are still some special episodes, which do not have the blessing of famous detectives, do not have complicated and gorgeous tricks, and do not deliberately create a gloomy atmosphere.Including the above-mentioned settings, compatible with the flavor of crime novels, and using pure, neat, and clean colors to see the source of evil hidden in the cracks of society, readers will definitely have a more comprehensive understanding and expectation of Keigo Higashino.
