At the end of 1980s, under the guidance and support of Soji Shimada, the reasoning society of Kyoto University held high the banner of "reviving the original style", and a large number of mystery novel creators emerged, which became the birthplace of new mystery novels. The novels created by these creators are called "New Benjamin" by critics.

[3] 1987 As the Shijiao Pavilion incident began to enter the literary world, it set off a whirlwind of "Ben Gur's reasoning" and became a cutting-edge writer who attracted much public attention. His "Library Series" mystery novels are not only deeply loved by readers, but also establish his position in the literary world. 1992 won the 45th Japanese Inferior Writers' Association Award for "Zhong Tang Incident". 1998, I wrote my own script and acted as the director, and finished the game software YAKATA. 1999 won the 30th Mahjong Masters Championship and became the first reasoning writer to win the Mahjong Masters Championship.

Fayo Rintaro
1988, Fayo Rintaro, whose real name is Yamada Junya, published his first novel "Closed Classroom", which is an "architectural reasoning" with the theme of impossible crime, telling the strange events that happened in a completely closed high school classroom overnight. 1989, Fayo Rintaro created his second work "Snow Room", which is his first series of works. Detective Fayo Rintaro officially appeared-this setting was obviously influenced by ellery queen, and Fayo Rintaro also made it clear that his idol was the ellery queen brothers. [4] The fourth (current) president of Ben Gul's inferior writers club [10].
Fayo Rintaro's works are very diverse in style, including closed classrooms for killing people on campus, snow rooms with traditional tricks, and even giving them to Laizi with equal emphasis on emotion and reason. Most of his works are detectives of the same name, with Fa Yue Lun Taro as the protagonist. Except in a closed classroom, all his works appear as novelists. Moreover, from the book "For Lai Zi", Fa Yue's writing style has changed from a simple puzzle solving to an emotional mystery novel. In 2002, he won the award of the 55th Japan Association of Mystery Writers for his "Urban Legend Puzzle", and in 2005, Going to Ask the Head won the fifth prize of this kind of mystery novel. He is the author of "Fa Yue Lun Taro" series. Masterpieces: Ask the Man's Head, Two People's Tragedy, Urban Legend Puzzle, etc.
Abiko Takemaru
My grandson Wu Wan, whose real name is Suzuki Tetsuo, was born on1October 7th, 1962, and started his career at the age of 27. 1989, he made a blockbuster with his debut novel Eight Killings, which described a series of killings in a figure-eight mansion. The "Three Brothers and Sisters in Fast Water" in this book has become a detective series of my grandson's 50,000, and each story presents a style close to farce. Obviously, my grandson 50,000 tried to incorporate comic elements into the novel. [4]
In addition to this series, my grandson 50,000 also created non-series works such as Doll Series, Disease of Killing Life, Palm of Maitreya, Detective Painting, etc. Generally speaking, his non-series works are higher than his series works. Among them, the disease of killing life shows the evil of human nature in a very extreme way, which is called "the sensory world of mystery novel version" [4] The author of "Fast Water Brothers and Sisters" series. Masterpieces: Eight Killings, Disease of Killing Life, Palm of Maitreya, etc.

Maya Yutaka's works are few in number, but each one can cause great controversy: from the first novel "Darkness with Wings" to Xia Dong Sonata, which is listed as a "fantastic book of reasoning"; From The Raven, which can bring people an unprecedented sense of collapse, to The One-eyed Girl, which has just been published. [4]
His works are deep and heavy, and the ending is often an incredible "collapse". This challenge to the traditional reasoning concept makes Maya Yutaka severely criticized by conservative readers on the one hand, and deified by a new generation of readers on the other. [1 1] (called "Ma Shen" by fans. )
Maya Yutaka has always been regarded as "the most talented Japanese reasoning writer" because his works can't be measured by simple "good-looking" or "bad-looking". Many foreign publishing houses want to publish his works, but only a handful of them finally achieve their goals. The reason is simple: Maya Yutaka is a very introverted writer, and he doesn't want to deal with the publishing house for the payment. [4] The One-eyed Girl won the 2065438 1 1 mystery novel award and the 64th Japan Association of Mystery Writers. Xia Dong Sonata is regarded as one of the "Five Wonders of Japanese Reasoning".

One day, he read an article by Soji Shimada, a writer of mystery novels whom he admired, and was shocked, so he called home without contacting in advance. From then on, he embarked on the road of writing mystery novels under the guidance of Teru Shimada. [12]), and under the strong recommendation of Soji Shimada, he published The Murder of the Dragon Family, featuring loyalty and surrender, and then published the equivalent series of pure books of Murder of the White House and Murder of Moving House (with impossible crime as the selling point), and published Ayatsuji Yukito in the following year (1989).

Kaoru Kitamura
Kaoru Kitamura, 1949, born in Saitama, whose real name is Kazuo Miyamoto, is the second president of this mystery writers club [10]. I graduated from the first department of Waseda University, and I am also a member of Waseda Research Association. After graduation, I worked as a Chinese (Japanese) teacher in high school. During the teaching period of 1989, I was selected as the sixth work of Flying Horse in the Air, 19965438, which is a collection of original reasoning short stories without killing people. The following year (1992), the first novel in this series, Autumn Flowers, was published. 1993, she quit her job as a teacher and became a professional writer. Known as the "master of daily reasoning", she is one of the representative writers of "daily reasoning", and her writing is exquisite and beautiful, and she is often mistaken for a woman. Later, the more famous works include the time man trilogy with a bit of fantasy-the jump in1995, the turn in 1997 and the reset in 200 1.

Ichihara
I graduated from Waseda University, and 1988 started with the short serial Five Coffins (inspired by john dickson carr's Three Coffins, followed by two pieces of Seven Coffins). Chuangyuanyi is famous for making good use of "narrative tactics" and is known as "the king of narrative tactics". There are often many reversals at the end of his works, and it is absolutely impossible to understand the overall situation without seeing the last page, so the reader gave him the title of "magic reduction" [ 16]
Since 1988' s first novel, Wrong Dead Corner (that is, the first work of Nichuan Zheye and Thirteen Mysteries), more than fifteen mystery novels have been written before and after, among which Silent Classroom won the prize (the 48th japanese mystery Association Award of 1995) and even more. As for the series of novels, the traditional puzzle-solving reasoning with the Black Star Police Department as the protagonist also shows the relaxed and humorous side of the original non-narrative reasoning works. He is the author of "Daocuo" series and "Zero" series. Masterpieces: Inverted Round Dance, Inverted Dead Corner, Wrong Man, etc.
Lubiantuo
Lubiantuo, whose real name is Xiaojie Yi Jie. 1958 May 2 1 Born in Osaka. After graduating from the Faculty of Law of Tongshe University, he worked in the proofreading department of the Osaka edition of Yomiuri Shimbun, and later transferred to the reporter of the Ministry of Culture. When I was a middle school student, I liked reading science fiction. After I accidentally saw the American TV series Detective Colombo that spring, I had a clear understanding of mystery novels and began to read European and American mystery novels. Lu Biantuo recalled this experience and said, "It was not emotional, but rational." . In the second year of high school, the mystery novel was published with the monthly magazine Fantasy City (1February, 975), and he immediately became a reader. Later, when the Phantom City Reader Club was established, he also participated in the Kyoto Branch's "13 Club", a group organized by Kyoto University students and graduate students, with 13 members, and Lu Biantuo was the youngest. He learned a lot of mystery novels from this group of seniors.
Because of his excessive enthusiasm for mystery novels, he began to write his own works. He applied for the "Newcomer Award in Fantasy City" three times under the pen names of "Little Seven Handsome Stars" and "Six Liu Zhuang". Although he didn't win the prize three times, his indomitable creative enthusiasm finally declined in 1986. He applied for Five Aliens in real name and won the second fantasy literature newcomer award. Then, in 1990, Thirteen Murderers, published in the name of Lubiantuo, won the first Nichuan Zheye Award, and entered the reasoning literary world.
One of the two keys to the way that the new Gur mystery novels leap over the dragon gate is that Sichuan explorers also enjoy it. Another key point is "Heart-to-Heart Club Novel Series", from which Ayatsuji Yukito made his debut. [ 17]
Reito Nikaido
Reito Nikaido was born in Tokyo in 1959 and graduated from the Department of Science and Technology of Central University. 1990 was shortlisted for the first Nichuan Zheye Award for "Blood-sucking Family". 1992 published his first work, The Magician of Hell, and officially embarked on the road of mystery novel creation. 1995 became a full-time writer and became the mainstay of new reasoning.

His work style is very close to that of Seishi Yokomizo. Incredible murders, coupled with mysterious religious colors, constitute a series of detective stories featuring the second-order Tang of a high school girl. Among them, The City of Terror in Jinlu Town: Wolf Journey consists of four novels, which is the longest book-like mystery novel in the world and a rare masterpiece of new books, and is regarded as one of the "five new Japanese mystery novels". The most famous detective is the second-order Don. Masterpieces: The Magician of Hell, The Magic King Incident, The Golden City of Terror: Wolves, etc.
Masaya Yamaguchi
Masaya Yamaguchi, a graduate of Waseda University, also officially debuted with the 13th Detective in 1987, and his works also used an environment beyond reality. In the first novel Death of a Promethean published by 1989 (The 13th Secret of Exploring Sichuan Zhe), it is not impossible to come back from the dead. Moreover, whether it is the detective, the murderer or the deceased in the story, all of them have known this phenomenon from the beginning. Therefore, in that world, it is useless to hide the time of killing, because the dead will directly point out the truth, and even the original meaning of killing has become blurred. However, the work is still the original case, and the mystery still exists. It is just the reversal of common sense in general mystery novels, which can be said to be the extreme of modern new original cases.
The first person in Japanese rhapsody mystery novels. Masaya Yamaguchi's works often subvert the tradition, forge ahead, and are full of new ideas, profound but self-evident. They lead readers into strange places unheard of in the history of mystery novels, which have brought various impacts to the literary world and are highly praised by critics.
