After deciding to sew Kindaichi, Chen Yue quickly started writing.
With the help of Prince Zhongyong's Mansion, when the new issue of Donglin Weekly appeared, the story of "Young Zhao Yuan" suddenly appeared on it.
Zhao Yuan is the loyal and brave king of Taiyuan, and everyone here in Zhengyang knows it. The story of young Zhao Yuan was serialized in Donglin Weekly, which naturally caused a sensation. This time, Donglin Weekly published a total of 4,000 volumes. , by noon, several stores were sold out. In this story, people focused on the story of King Zhongyong.
Just like The Legend of the Condor Heroes, this young man Zhao Yuan also had two chapters serialized.
After the story was released, many people first looked through the manuscript and found the story of young Zhao Yuan.
"This is the story of King Zhongyong when he was young. I don't know what it will be like."
"I heard that King Zhongyong has always been very brave. When he was young, he should have killed the evil spirits."
"I'm not curious about this story, because in such a story, there is indispensable praise for King Zhongyong, which makes it boring."
Having said that, people are still focused on this story.
In the first chapter of the story, the main focus is on a beautiful girl named Gao Ying. She performed very well in the martial arts hall, so she followed the police to the streets early to handle the case. After a busy day, she ate in a restaurant. At that time, I saw a young man staring straight at the bookstore across the street.
When Gao Ying looked and noticed the boy, the boy took the initiative to step forward and told the detectives that he suspected something was wrong in the bookstore opposite.
"The oil lamp inside has been out for a long time, and four people have been coming and going to steal books, but there is no reaction from the people inside."
"I suspect something's not right in there."
This young man's name is Zhao Yuan. According to his introduction, he and the hostess in the bookstore are childhood sweethearts. Recently, he heard that the hostess was seen with many scars on her body while taking a bath in the bathhouse, so he came to observe.
The male owner of the bookstore goes out for a walk every day at this time, and the female owner is the only one at home.
"It would be too presumptuous of me to come to the door alone."
Zhao Yuan said to Gao Ying.
Hearing this, Gao Ying took Zhao Yuan with him. The two of them entered the bookstore and opened the door to the inner room. It was dark. Zhao Yuan lit the oil lamp. The hostess's clothes were open and there were many scars on her body. She was already dead. There, strangely, there were no signs of struggle or scuffle in the room.
In detective stories, the protagonist has to go through something first and establish his character as a detective to make him believable.
When Chen Yue was preparing to suture Kindaichi, he first thought of this question.
In the same story of sewing up Kindaichi, the young man Bao Qingtian asked Bao Zheng to throw the copper coins into the water, and judge the ownership of the copper coins by whether there was oil or water in them, establishing the character of Bao Zheng.
The same is true among the criminal officials of the Song Dynasty.
Chen Yue thought a lot when stitching, and finally stitched together Edogawa Ranpo's "D-Saka Murder Incident" to create a character for Zhao Yuanxian.
In the D-Saka Murder Incident, the protagonist who solved the case was named Akechi Kogoro. With Edogawa and Kogoro, Detective Conan’s tribute to Edogawa Ranpo is obvious.
There was a murder case in the story, and the detectives were nearby. They immediately surrounded the place, gathered the people around, and began to collect confessions.
At the same time, Gao Ying also began to collect fingerprints in the room.
"Fingerprints are the most special mark of a person. Everyone's fingerprints are unique. Even if you erase the fingerprints on your hand, the new fingerprints will be exactly the same as the previous fingerprints."
Gao Ying said: "As long as there are fingerprints left here, the murderer will never escape."
Regarding fingerprints, people here in Taiyuan also know something about it. After all, many contracts require fingerprints, but this erases the original fingerprints and the new fingerprints are the same as before. For most people, Little trivia.
"This is different from a public case!"
As the story progresses, people have been attracted by it, and they feel that the case handling in Jiangwu Hall is different from what they thought.
At this time, handling cases was basically simple and crude. For example, if someone was killed, the government would first arrest all the neighbors of a group of people, torture them one by one to see who had any grievances, and then arrest them one by one... It is about a people whose hearts are as strong as iron, and the government Dharma is like a furnace.
If the truth doesn't come out in one round, then ask someone from the Immortal Way to take action. Through the talisman, people can always tell the truth.
In the story, the detectives are more particular about being reasonable and well-founded.
Clues were soon collected. It turned out that there were two people nearby who seemed to have seen a figure at the time of the crime. One said he was wearing white clothes, and the other said he was wearing black clothes.
At this time, the detectives found fingerprints on the oil lamp, but the fingerprints belonged to Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan lit the oil lamp when he entered the room.
Just when the scene was at a loss, Gao Ying looked at Zhao Yuan's black and white clothes, suddenly stood up, and pointed out that Zhao Yuan was the murderer.
"You and the proprietress were childhood sweethearts. You killed her a long time ago, and then deliberately brought us in to eliminate the possibility of committing a crime yourself."
"The clothes on your body are black and white, and there happens to be a fence in the house these two people are looking at. It is through this fence that the two people see different things."
Gao Ying expressed his reasoning.
The detectives also surrounded Zhao Yuan.
Even those who are reading the story, knowing that they are watching "Young Zhao Yuan", feel that what Gao Ying said is reasonable and well-founded.
But at this time, Zhao Yuan said very deeply that he did not believe in human memory.
"People's memories are biased. I once gathered fifty village sages and performed a play in front of them. A young man killed an old man with a knife. Afterwards, I asked them to collect evidence and asked them one by one. Write down what you saw and heard on paper, especially the characteristics of the murderer, but the clothes they wrote are very different. In fact, the murderer was dressed very simply..."
"So the confessions of these two people may not be reliable."
Zhao Yuan used memory bias to easily dismiss the accusation. After scanning the whole room, he said: "I have been watching outside. If the murderer wants to escape, he can only climb over the wall without going out..."
Near this bookstore, there was a grain store. The proprietress of the grain store also had scars on her body. The owner of the grain store spoke tremblingly, so the arrested officers easily found out the truth of the matter.
It turned out that the owner of the grain store next door liked S, and the wife of the boss here liked M. When the two of them were doing things, they suddenly lost control of their strength and killed the wife. Afterwards, the boss climbed over the wall and ran back.
The case also ended.
Gao Ying stepped forward and thought that Zhao Yuan had the potential to solve the case. When he heard that Zhao Yuan had transferred to the Zhengyang Lecture Hall from another place, he immediately issued a declaration of war against Zhao Yuan.
"There are seven incredible events in the martial arts hall here in Zhengyang. It's just the right time for you to come here, so we can compete again."
Gao Ying invited Zhao Yuan: "Let's see who can be the first to solve the seven unbelievable incidents in the Martial Arts Hall!"
"It's different. This story is really different."
"King Zhongyong is unparalleled in his calculations."
"Miss Gao Ying is also very interesting and refuses to admit defeat."
The content of this first chapter contains all kinds of trivia and unexpected development directions, making the audience feel like they are following a circle. It is very enjoyable. Also in this story, the image of Zhao Yuan as a young man is also given to the audience. After it was established, people began to look forward to the follow-up direction of the story.
