I watched the screening last night, and as a fan of mysteries, I looked HIGH. Domestic mystery movies have finally begun to stop talking about Sherlock Holmes when it comes to mystery. Based on this alone, it is much higher than mystery plots such as "The Vanishing Series" or "Fuji Detective". Although some lines in the movie involve a lot of reasoning, fortunately I will sort them out here. If there are any mistakes, I hope everyone can add them.

1. Siamese Siamese. From "The Mystery of Siamese Siamese", one of Ellery Quinn's Country Names series. Siam is the ancient name for Thailand. Ellery Queen refers to the cousin writers Frederic Dannay (1905-1982) and Manfred Lee (1905-1971). Their creation lasted for half a century, with dozens of works and a global sales volume of approximately 200 million copies; they have won five Edgar Allan Poe Awards; their four "Tragedy Series" and nine "National Names" series of works are recognized as insurmountable masterpieces in the history of mystery novels. Both the tragedy series and the country name series have Chinese versions. As an ordinary fan of mystery novels, Ellery Quinn’s name is absolutely unavoidable. Qin Feng’s mention of Siamese Siamese shows that he is a die-hard fan of mystery novels.

2. Utano Akira. A Japanese writer of authentic mystery novels. Currently, the only imported works in China are "When the Cherry Trees Bud, I Miss You" and "Spring, Summer, and Then Winter". It is mentioned in the movie that Akiko Utano's reasoning part comes from a short story "The Seeker's Secret Room" in his "Secret Room Murder Game 1.0" ("Secret Room Murder Game 1.0"). The prisoner lurked in the ceiling of the victim for a month. Unfortunately, There is currently no Chinese version of this novel, and we can only rely on spoilers on some forums to reveal the details. This also shows that the screenwriter of this movie is really a big fan of mystery. 3. Jack Futrell and "The Lost Radium". This master-level figure in the world of mystery novels was born in 1875. His most famous work is the "Thinking Machine" series. The short story "The Lost Radium" mentioned in the movie comes from this series. This series of novels is domestically The publishing house has introduced it. By the way, Jack Futrell and his wife were killed while traveling to the United States on the Titanic in 1912. This was also a very big loss to the mystery novel industry. 4. Yugo Aosaki and "Gymnasium Murder". Jack Futrell is one of the old masters of conventional reasoning, and Yugo Aosaki is a new kid. When he won the Ayukawa Prize for "Gymnasium Killing", he was just a 21-year-old college student. "Gymnasium Killings" is a standard work. As a novel, the writing and characterization are very ordinary, but the setting of the puzzles and the interpretation of the puzzles are very amazing. This work was translated by Douban netizens. I really hope that China will pay more attention to this writer. In the movie, Qin Feng leaked the details of "Stadium Murder". If you are afraid of spoilers, you can go to Douban to watch it in advance and you can watch it in one night.

5. Zhou Haohui and "Death Notice". This is a local mystery work, but it only left a scene on Qin Feng's bookshelf. So if you are interested, you can read it.

6. Sherlock Holmes. In the end, the movie did not abandon Sherlock Holmes. The screenwriter used Qin Feng's mouth to say Sherlock Holmes's famous saying: Eliminate all impossibilities, and the rest, even if it is impossible, is the truth. This famous saying comes from "The Sign of Four".

7. Keigo Higashino, "White Night Walk" and the final reversal. The final reversal may actually be a tribute to "White Night Walk", but this can only be left to everyone to discuss after watching the movie. But the little Lolita’s evil smile at the end was the scene that had the most profound impact on people in local movies in 2015. Just based on this scene, I hope that the little lolita Zhang Zifeng will be included in the film festival next year.

In general, from the perspective of a detective movie, "Detective Chinatown" has feelings, plots, and various tacit jokes for reasoning fans. It is simply a letter to the original detective. Love letter, hope he sticks to it. Looking forward to the sequel. I wish "Detective Chinatown" a success at the box office.
