Bao Qingtian?
Seeing the name of the comic, Conan thought for a moment and realized that this comic should be about the story of Bao Zheng, a famous official from the Northern Song Dynasty in the Central Plains when he was young. Bao Zheng was regarded as a man of justice at the time because he was like a god in solving cases and was fair and selfless. The people of the Central Plains call him "Bao Qingtian".
"The story of Bao Zheng's youth..."
Conan thought for a while and decided to read the comments first to see what other people thought of this comic, so he quickly moved to the comment area.
"Gongsun Ce is so handsome! Gongsun Ce is my husband!"
"Cece is so handsome!"
"My CeCe!"
"Who can resist the arrogant Gongsun Ce!"
"I'm so happy to see Cece appear again today!"
…
I casually browsed through the comments and found that many of them were similar to this one. Among the accounts that left these comments, an account named "Suzuki Meatballs" appeared repeatedly many times, almost swiping the screen.
"..."
Is that you Yuanzi? It's you!
Even by reasoning with the toenails on his toes, Conan could guess that this guy must be that big nymphomaniac Suzuki Sonoko!
In a previous case, Conan and the others met a female researcher from the Central Plains who specialized in studying the Romanov dynasty.
At that time, out of curiosity, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko asked her how to pronounce their names in Chinese. The Central Plains female researcher enthusiastically responded to them. Among them, Mao Lilan's name has little difference in pronunciation between Japanese and Chinese. The difference is that the Chinese pronunciation of Suzuki Sonoko's name is not consistent with the Japanese pronunciation.
At that time, she didn't feel anything. Suzuki Sonoko thought it was funny and asked Mao Lilan to call her in Chinese. However, as the investigation of the case continued to deepen, Conan discovered that the female researcher from the Central Plains was simply a fake. She was the legendary internationally wanted criminal. "Shikaobing" has been targeting the treasures of the Romanov dynasty and plundering them everywhere. In the end, the fake female researcher was naturally caught. Afterwards, Suzuki Sonoko doubted the Chinese pronunciation of her name, so she went to inquire about it. Yan Kai.
This is what Yan Kai said at the time: "Suzuki meatballs? What are these? Suzuki's special dish?"
After Suzuki Sonoko figured out the correct Chinese pronunciation of "Suzuki Sonoko" from Yan Kai, Suzuki Sonoko still felt that the name "Suzuki Meatballs" was cuter, and changed her line nickname to "Suzuki Meatballs" " in Chinese characters.
Very good, it seems that after "cousin", Suzuki Sonoko, the "scumbag", has become obsessed with a new two-dimensional male god, but Conan is not surprised at all, after all, it is Sonoko.
After reading those completely meaningless messages, Conan sighed and was too lazy to read other messages. He mainly thought that if it was spoiled, it would affect the reading experience. After all, it is a mystery comic, so he still has to keep a little suspense for himself, and he is more I like to guess who the murderer is.
I started reading the comic in earnest. This comic really tells the story of Bao Zheng when he was young. It starts with two small cases to show readers Bao Zheng’s intelligence. It also introduces some of the main characters in the comic, such as the part-time clerk in the Yamen. Bao Zheng's mother was Aunt Bao (equivalent to a modern forensic doctor). It was precisely because of Aunt Bao that Bao Zheng was able to come into contact with various cases.
Although the case is very simple and is only entry-level in Conan's opinion, overall it is pretty good and makes Conan feel that this comic is worth reading.
So Conan began to read carefully...
After an unknown amount of time, it turned dark. Dr. Ali had finished the experiment and walked out of the laboratory. He found that Conan was still there, and he was sitting on the sofa and looking at his mobile phone with concentration.
"Shinichi, you haven't gone home yet?"
Dr. A Li asked curiously.
He was busy experimenting in the laboratory and forgot the time for a while. He waited until his stomach growled with hunger before he quit the experimental state. He wanted to find something to eat to fill his stomach, but he found that Conan was still with him. At home, he thought Conan had gone back by himself long ago.
"Ah, doctor..."
Conan reluctantly put down his phone as if he had just woken up from a dream. At the same time, he also noticed the weather, so he said to Dr. Ali: "Doctor, can I stay at your house today?"
"Yes, yes, but have you told Xiaolan?"
Dr. A Li nodded.
"Yes, I haven't told Xiaolan yet..."
Conan patted his forehead and said.
Dr. Agasa was a little strange when he saw Conan, but he didn't care. After all, Conan was very weird when he was Kudo Shinichi. Especially when he was thinking about the case, he would completely forget about it. He should still care about his dinner.
By the way, when Xiao Ai came here to do experiments yesterday, she cooked a pot of curry. She didn't finish it yesterday, and there was a lot left in the refrigerator. Let's take it out and heat it up and eat it later.
When thinking of Haibara Ai, Dr. Ari sighed, why wasn't the child Yusaku and Yukiko gave birth to a daughter? How cute my daughter is...
After Dr. Ali heated up the curry, he invited Conan to eat with him. However, he found that Conan was still holding his phone and refused to put it down. Dr. Ali asked curiously: "Conan, what are you looking at?"
"Ah, nothing!"
Conan put down his cell phone as if he was electrocuted, then quickly ran to the dining table and sat on a chair. Without even saying "I'm starting", he finished the curry rice with a few quick licks, wiped his mouth with his hand and said, "Doctor, I'm done. !”
After saying that, he returned to the sofa, picked up his phone and started reading.
Dr. Ali blinked his eyes, shook his head and sighed, then he ate the curry one bite at a time, chewing each bite carefully before swallowing it.
As an old man, he couldn't eat in one piece like Conan, because it would put too much burden on his stomach.
Well, as you get older, you have to chew your food slowly. Of course, if possible, it is better to just eat soft rice.
I don't know how long it took, but Conan finally put down his phone. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
I finally finished reading, no, I should say I finished reading the first part. So far, this comic has only been serialized to the end of the first part. Teacher "Xia Shizi" left a message saying that there will be a second part in the future, but my mother "Young Bao Qingtian" "The second part is still in the stage and readers need to wait patiently.
I have to say that this is a very good work. The reasoning part is clear and interlocking. Even from Conan's perspective, this comic has to be given a very high score.
And because the background of the story is in ancient times, things such as fingerprints and blood stains can no longer be used as evidence. This gives the murderer more opportunities to lay out tricks. It must be said that he can finally solve the case under such a disadvantage. , the protagonist of the comic is a very powerful detective!
The reasoning part of the comic is certainly excellent, but the most attractive thing about this comic is the things other than reasoning.
In the case in the first chapter of the comic, the Crown Prince of Koryo escorted the Princess of Koryo to the Central Plains to marry the Emperor of the Central Plains. On the way, he passed by Bao Zheng's hometown of Luzhou. While staying there for repairs, the Crown Prince of Koryo was unfortunately killed.
The death of the crown prince of a country naturally triggered a diplomatic crisis between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo. Bao Zheng, a young expert in solving crimes, was appointed at the critical moment. Under the appointment of the Eight Wise Kings, Bao Zheng shouldered the heavy responsibility of investigating the murder of the crown prince of Goryeo. After several twists and turns, , finally found out the truth and became famous all over the world.
In the process of investigating the case, Bao Zheng encountered many obstacles. This obstacle came not only from the political opponents of the Eight Wise Kings, the main combatant Pang Taishi who wanted to trigger a war, but also from Bao Zheng's backer, the Eight Wise Kings himself. .
Compared with the truth of the case, the Eight Wise Kings were more concerned about the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so two suspects appeared in the middle of the investigation of the case. Even though the Eight Wise Kings knew that the two might be innocent, they were arrested because he thought they were innocent. Defining the case as an internal struggle in Goryeo could resolve the conflict between the two countries, so Bao Zheng was ordered to close the case directly and no further investigation was allowed.
However, Bao Zheng is the protagonist of the comic after all, so the Eight Sages were later moved by Bao Zheng's sincerity and allowed him to continue the investigation.
In the end, Bao Zheng naturally succeeded in solving the case, not only finding out the truth, but also preserving the peace between the two countries.
This "Young Bao Qingtian" is said to be mainly based on reasoning, but there is a lot of power struggle behind the scenes. In addition to Bao Zheng fighting against the murderer, behind Bao Zheng and the murderer, the Eight Sages and Master Pang are also fighting against each other, and they are fighting against each other. The level of excitement is no less than that of Bao Zheng and the murderer.
It can even be said that although Bao Zheng and the murderer are at the center of the storm, the center of the eye of the storm is relatively the calmest. The seemingly calm Baxian Wang and Taishi Pang, the struggle between the two is the most dangerous in the comics. part.
Even Bao Zheng, who has no experience in political struggle, can clearly feel the pressure emanating from the two.
One was the uncle of the emperor, who was highly respected, and the other was the grand master of the dynasty, who had all the power in the court. These two important figures were under one person in the Song Dynasty. When faced with the pressure from both of them, Bao Bao However, Zheng was still able to maintain his original intention and responded with "I hope you have a clear conscience".
The phrase "Please have a clear conscience" was so shocking that the Eight Wise Kings risked the conflict between the two countries and gave Bao Zheng three days to investigate the case. It also made Conan, who had always said "there is only one truth", a little bit irritated. Panic.
In the past, he was obsessed with cases because he liked the exhilarating feeling of solving all the mysteries and bringing the truth to light. In addition, he also had a selfish desire to be in the limelight. All these are consistent with Bao Zheng's phrase "But ask the heart" "Wonderfully" really pales in comparison.
…………………………
The next day, Mao Lilan came to Dr. Ali's house to pick up Conan from school. Mao Lilan looked at Conan who had some dark circles under his eyes and couldn't help but asked: "Shinichi, have you read the manga I recommended you to read yesterday?" Is it over?"
"Well, I've finished watching it..." Conan originally wanted to say, "It's okay, but it's just average." But he still couldn't get the words out of his mouth, so he could only nod his head, "Well, it's very beautiful, very exciting."
"Then what did you learn from it?"
Mao Lilan asked Conan.
"..." Conan pondered for a moment, and then said, "As a detective, the purpose of seeking the truth is to bring justice to the victim, not to satisfy myself."
He finished reading the comic shortly after dinner last night. The dark circles under his eyes were caused by him staying up all night after reading the comic and going to bed after dawn.
That night, he thought a lot. In the past, he was too self-centered in investigating cases, and he didn't have much of Bao Zheng's spirit of asking for help for the people.
Of course, this does not mean that he completely ignores the dead when investigating the case. There are some, but not many.
"anything else?"
Mao Lilan asked again.
"Hmm... do you want to be unafraid of power and have a clear conscience?"
Conan thought for a while.
The Eight Sages and Grand Master Pang successively pressured Bao Zheng to stop investigating the case, but he insisted on giving justice to the deceased and only wanted a "clear conscience." This spirit moved Conan.
"anything else?"
Mao Lilan continued to ask without giving up.
"What else?" Conan thought for a moment, and then replied, "Also, solving a case is not a matter of one person. It requires everyone's efforts."
In the comics, although Bao Zheng is the absolute main force, the people around Bao Zheng, including Aunt Bao, Chu Chu, Gong Sunce... No matter which one of these people is missing, Bao Zheng may not be able to solve the case.
Maori Langton was relieved to hear what Conan said, but she was not satisfied yet and asked again: "What else?"
"And, what else?"
Conan was confused. What answer did Xiaolan want to get from him?
"Hey..." Mao Lilan looked at Conan resentfully, "Have you finished reading the comics? Haven't you noticed that Bao Zheng always takes Chu Chu with him every time he goes out?"
"ah?"
Conan was stunned for a moment and went out to take Chu Chu with him. What can he learn from this?
"Even Bao Zheng knows that you must take someone with martial arts skills when you go out. Shinichi, you are a child now, shouldn't you pay more attention to this aspect?"
Mao Lilan looked at Conan with hatred. Really, she didn't even understand such a simple truth. She was in vain!
"ah?"
Conan was completely stunned now.
(PS: This paragraph is too long, so I won’t include the author’s words. Some people say that the pattern of "Young Bao Qingtian" is not as big as "Detective Di Renjie". Isn’t this nonsense? Di Ge is always a politician and his heart is for the world. It is impossible to focus on a case, but for Conan, he will not sympathize with people like Mr. Di Ge, and it is impossible to learn from him. It will not play an educational role. He may have to wait until Conan is old and has experienced Only after a lot of helplessness did he understand and agree with Mr. Di Ge's actions. Now he may have to scold Mr. Di Ge a little bit. After all, one of Conan's favorite things is to stand on the highest moral point and defecate anywhere.
There is also Song Ci. For Song Ci, Conan is just another "Lestrade". He will admire this kind of person, but I am afraid that he can easily give birth to admiration and yearning. After all, this kind of person is too restricted, and Conan I like being "Zhang San".
Bao Heitan, Song Ci, and Di Ge Lao can actually correspond to the three states of human beings: teenagers, young adults, and old age. When they are young, they are high-spirited and jealous of evil, when young and middle-aged, they fulfill their duties and ask for orders for the people, and when they are old, they are smooth and considerate of the overall situation. , it can also be said to be an evolutionary mode, including the evolution of black charcoal - Song Ci, and the ultimate evolution of Song Ci - Mr. Di Ge. I think it almost feels like this.
By the way, let me tell you one more detail. I remember that in the original work, Conan would often laugh when he found out the truth. I would like to call it "the triumphant smile after breaking through the criminal's trick." There were several scenes that were compared to the underworld, with his head lowered, smiling evilly, and wearing glasses. The reflection is just like the villain's conspiracy succeeding...
All I can say is that there were a lot of immaturities in the early Conan, and the mentality of the current Conan is still biased towards the early stage, not as mature as the middle stage. Of course, it is not as mature as the later stage, which is the current TV version... uh, Sorry, I don’t know how to describe it. In short, it feels a bit nondescript. Speaking of which, I haven’t watched the serialization, TV version and theatrical version for a long time. "Conan" is already finished in my heart...)
