dear reader: The two young men who published together nine years ago under the pseudonym Ellery Quinn have written a new series of detective stories inspired by someone and something. The result of the hard work of the two is the birth of Mr. Jerry Wren, a retired actor who is proficient in playing Shakespeare's plays and has extraordinary reasoning ability. The pseudonym Ellery Quinn was taken because of the story of the detective Ellery Quinn. It is obvious that the detective stories of Mr. Jerry Wren can no longer be classified under this pseudonym.Therefore, when the two young men launched the first work of the four-part series of Jerry Lane's works, they published under the pseudonym "Barnaby Ross".

In order to make it seem unrelated between the two parts, Ellery Quinn and Barnaby Ross, these two works were published by different presses; with the same purpose, many contradictions and mysteries surround Both are deliberately created.In fact, there was a time when two young men, wearing black masks, lashed out at each other in public speaking...one played Ellery Quinn, the other Barnaby Ross, competing to brand themselves in the realm of detective fiction Even better.From Maplewood, New Jersey, to Chicago, Illinois, their sharp words against each other are not always brilliant to the curious listener's ears, and they are just used to keep people unrelated. impression.

Still, there is always a loophole, and the careful reader, if caught, will connect Ellery Queen and Barnaby Ross and debunk their nine-year-long deception on a gullible public. If you turn to the preface—the first work about the detective Ellery Quinn, written under the pseudonym Ellery Quinn—on page fourteen, lines thirteen to seventeen, you will find the following worthwhile Note the clues: When they felt the need for a new pseudonym, they chose "Barnaby Ross" from this questionable excerpt—that is, Barnaby Ross was born in 1928, That is, when the prologue to the first Quine detective novel was written, and it was not until 1931 that it was given a personality and came alive in the public eye.

So now it goes like this: Barnaby Ross was, is, will be, and will always be... Ellery Queen; and vice versa. And about Mr. Jerry Lane.We'll always have a soft spot in our hearts for the old fool who's a little bit pretentious and a little bit proud...he's a liar, a genius, and the most brilliant detective ever (and maybe one more, this time). without mentioning the person's name). Same as his brother--were they not created by the same two cunning young men? ——Mr. Jerry Lane is a powerful faction who advocates reasoning and will challenge readers in a fair way.Therefore, in and after other "tragic" stories, all clues will be provided to you before the truth is revealed.

The glory days begin anew...Long live Jerry Lane!
