Chapter 452: Simultaneous Launch and Simultaneous Explosion

Keita Urata curiously turned on the TV. As a die-hard fan of "Detective Conan", he was very curious about this spin-off series.

At this time, the theme song had passed, and the TV series began to tell an astonishing fact:

In Japan, the vast majority of unnatural deaths were arbitrarily attributed to causes of death without autopsy, and were cremated before the cause of death was found out.

The autopsy rate of unnatural deaths in Japan is as high as 17%, and as low as 2%, ranking last among developed countries.

Because there are only more than 100 forensic practitioners in Japan, they are simply too busy.

This shocking number shocked Keita Urata. He didn't expect that professional forensic doctors commonly seen in detective novels are so rare in Japan.

In order to alleviate this embarrassment, the Unnatural Death Investigation Institute (UDI) was established in the play to accept state and private (paid) commissions.

UDI has two autopsy teams, led by Nakadori, who has dissected 3,000 corpses, and Mikoto, who has dissected 1,500 corpses.

In a short period of time, the image of the main members of UDI was quickly established. After all, this is an 11-episode mini-series, and there is no time to waste.

Keita Urata was fascinated by it and couldn't help repeating Mikoto's words:

"Forensic medicine is a 7K job - it's tiring, smelly, and dangerous, with strict regulations, no holidays, no makeup, and no marriage... No wonder there are so few forensic doctors!"

This is a real problem in reality, especially in the marriage market. Not to mention that the salary of forensic doctors is not high, it is completely inferior to that of doctors who also study medicine, not to mention that many people will find it unlucky and difficult to accept.

But in Keita Urata's view, this makes Mikoto more attractive -

This is a beautiful woman who has dissected 1,500 corpses with her own hands!

"Sister Mikoto, come and dissect me!"

I can only say that the nationality is correct...

After the rapid characterization, the case in the first episode appeared.

A man named Takano died suddenly and was diagnosed with ischemic heart disease by the hospital, so no case was filed for investigation.

But Takano's parents believed that their son was in good health and could not die suddenly, so they entrusted it to UDI, and Mikoto took over the dissection.

The autopsy results showed that Takano actually died of kidney failure, most likely poisoning.

So, Mikoto suspected Takano's girlfriend and started the investigation familiar to Conan fans.

"Yes, that's it! There is only one truth - who is the murderer?"

Keita Urata couldn't help but go online to discuss, and found that many viewers discussed together on the Internet:

[The murderer is obviously Takano's girlfriend! Takano cheated with a female colleague, and his girlfriend poisoned them all! ]

[There are even medical poisons in the girlfriend's laboratory. ]

[It can't be the girlfriend, this is too simple, Su Zhe can't design such a simple case. ]

Sure enough, Mikoto ruled out all toxins and fell into confusion.

At Nakadashi's reminder, she found that Takano had been on a business trip to Arabia before, and suspected that he did not die of poison, but was infected with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

After examination, it was indeed the case, and the case was solved - Takano died of the virus.

Keita Urata was dumbfounded:

"Ah? So simple, no murderer? Then what case is there to solve?"

He really couldn't imagine that in a mystery drama, the cause of death of the deceased was an infectious disease?

Keita Urata even wanted to curse.

But the TV series was very fast. In order to prevent the spread of MERS, UDI announced the truth, and also made Takano's parents suffer from the violence of public opinion.

In this case, Chinese people may be very puzzled-Takano was infected with the virus and died, and he didn't spread it intentionally, so why blame him?

But Keita Urata and other Japanese people think it's natural-Takano caused trouble to the whole society and made it possible for others to be infected, so of course he should be condemned.

Amid the condemnation, UDI found something strange. They found that Takano's girlfriend, as a close contact, had no symptoms at all. They suspected that Takano was not infected in the Middle East, but was infected in the hospital after returning to China.

After a series of investigations, Mikoto and others finally found decisive evidence to prove that Dongyang Medical University was the source of infection, and concealed the epidemic, resulting in a large number of deaths in the hospital, including Takano.

The case ended with the dean of Dongyang Medical University bowing and apologizing skillfully.

Keita Urata was stunned and had mixed feelings.

This episode, called "Unknown Poison", is obviously completely different from "Detective Conan". There is no murderer, no motive, and no murder method.

What there is is the inaction of the police, the omissions of hospital management, and the cruelty of ignoring life and concealing the truth.

So who is the murderer who killed Takano and those patients?

("Unnatural Death" was filmed in 2018. Before the crown came, it predicted Japan's attitude towards the epidemic. It is indeed an excellent TV series.)

"This is a reasoning drama for adults. It is more real, cruel but powerless than "Detective Conan."

Keita Urata couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the two works have completely different styles.

Conan's enemies are the murderers who challenge the detective's IQ with various murder methods.

And Mikoto——

After she solved the case, she felt Nakadō's ability and excitedly invited him:

"If we join forces, we will be invincible!"

But Nakadō asked with a lack of interest:

"Who is the enemy?"

Misumi Mikoto was silent for a while, and in the gradually zoomed-in camera, she answered firmly:

"Unnatural death."

This word, after this episode, suddenly has a different meaning.

The theme song "Lemon" sounded, but Urata Keita was excited by the last line:

"So cool, sister Mikoto!"

"Really so cool!"

He opened Twitter and found that # Misumi Mikoto # and # "Unnatural Death" # were both on the regional trend list.

Countless otakus expressed the same sentiment as him.

Female viewers also thought Mikoto was so cool, and even made an impulsive statement "I want to be a forensic doctor in the future."

It doesn't matter, I will give up.

While the Internet was hotly discussing, TV stations finally got the ratings data and immediately cheered and celebrated.

Due to Conan's diversion, the first episode of "Unnatural Death" had a rating of 8.2%, which was a hit as soon as it was broadcast.

This is a weekly drama, and there is enough time to spread word of mouth. By the second episode, it will definitely have a higher rating.

In terms of word of mouth, although "Unnatural Death" is not as high as the domestic rating, it has also achieved a high score of 4.4/5 on Filmmarks, the largest rating website in Japan.

(Equivalent to 8.8 points on Douban)

Obviously, this drama is successful!

In China, the first episode of "Detective Lin Mo" is also being broadcast.

Li Wenshi clicked in immediately. She knew that she was not involved in the first case, but she was very curious about the drama.

Especially for the first case, she didn't even have a script. Like ordinary audiences, she wanted to see it.

The case in the first episode was very strange. It turned out to be a ghost murder case.

Four good girlfriends all had supernatural events. One was pushed onto the track by a "ghost" in an empty subway station under surveillance.

One person flew up in a dream and left a bloody handprint on the ceiling.

Countless prayer beads suddenly appeared in one person's home, and he was pinched to dizziness by an inexplicable force.

The last person, named A Shui, danced a weird dance, jumped from a high building, and fell to death on the spot.

Many of these supernatural events have video surveillance or passers-by's testimony, especially Ah Shui's jump from the building. The camera captured a woman in white dancing and jumping from the balcony.

This scared the Thai police. In this country of supernatural films, they all believed that ghosts killed people and could not solve the case.

So they invited Lin Mo, the apprentice of Tang Ren, the famous No. 1 detective in Chinatown.

As soon as Lin Mo appeared, he showed extremely unique abilities.

He is simply a dog demon with an extremely sensitive sense of smell. He can even smell the gunpowder in the police's guns through the door.

This nose is much more useful than a drug detection dog. He should not be a detective, but should apply for a police dog, which is paid more than a soldier.

In addition to the sense of smell, Lin Mo himself is also an excellent detective, with a meticulous mind and strong observation.

In the play, he shows a quick analysis like Qin Feng through his sense of smell and analysis.

"Wow, it's so cool with special effects."

Li Wenshi couldn't help but exclaimed, and the barrage also shouted:

[Black Dog I can! ]

[This uncle is so handsome, and he has a different style from Qin Feng. ]

[I am really impressed. After Qin Feng and Conan, Su Zhe has created another excellent detective. ]

[It is said that in the "Unnatural Death" that is being broadcast next door, Mikoto is also a very good forensic doctor. ]

[I didn't think Su Zhe would create a Tang Detective universe before, because no one can write a series of excellent detectives. I didn't expect him to really do it. ]

[Don't mess with Su Zhe! He has 10,000 ways to kill people in his mind! ]

The barrage chatted very happily at the beginning, but as the case continued, all clues pointed to ghosts killing people, so they focused their attention on the case.

The three best girlfriends of the deceased Ah Shui encountered more and more terrifying supernatural events, and the music became more and more weird.

[It can't really be ghosts killing people? ]

[Then what case is there to solve? The Ten Commandments of Reasoning said that it can't be supernatural. ]

[Don't mention the Ten Commandments, Knox is a fool! He didn't let the Chinese show up! 】

(Knox: "If you're flipping through a book you've never heard of in a bookstore and suddenly see a reference to a Chinese with narrow, small eyes, put the book down; it must be terrible.")

[Even without mentioning racial discrimination, most of the Ten Commandments are broken. It's useless. ]

[I don't understand the Ten Commandments, but this is after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the General Administration does not allow ghosts to appear. ]

[...]

[It makes a lot of sense. ]

Thanks to the General Administration's anti-superstition policy, even in the virtual world, superstition is not allowed, and the audience firmly believes that the murderer in this case cannot be a ghost.

But all the content in the first episode points to ghosts killing people, so how did the murderer do it?

This became a point of great curiosity for the audience, as if leaving a hook in their hearts, attracting them to watch it seriously.

Then, the first episode ended.

Since "Detective Lin Mo" has not completed post-production and is shorter than "Unnatural Death", with only 8 episodes, this drama also uses weekly broadcasts, which is rare in China.

So the audience found that they had to wait a week to see the next episode.

If you want to see the truth (one case in 4 episodes), you have to wait a month!

The audience who follow the drama went crazy:

[Weekly broadcast? No, I am anxious and curious now. It is so inhumane to interrupt the chapters like this! ]

[(Yu Kun) If the foreigners next door see it, they will think that I look down on TV dramas. Who can watch this one episode? One more episode, one episode for each person. ]

In fact, in foreign countries, weekly broadcasts and simultaneous shooting and broadcasting are very normal behaviors.

You want to watch more, but you really can't, because it is a highly marketized market. Just like online literature, if no one watches it, it will be eunuch (cut off). Except for big productions or sequels that are bound to be hot-selling, who will shoot and broadcast it all at once?

They are all shot and broadcast at the same time. If the ratings are high, they will shoot more episodes. They can even focus on shooting the content that the audience likes according to the audience feedback, increase the role of popular characters, etc.

But the form of simultaneous shooting and broadcasting rarely appears in China, and it is almost impossible to appear in this form.

It is related to the monopoly of TV stations and online platforms, and it is related to the habits left by the unified purchase and sales in the past, but the most fundamental reason is——

The version number and review restrictions! It can only be released after it is filmed and approved. The company can work overtime for commercial interests while shooting and broadcasting, but will the review work overtime with you?

Therefore, the audiences in China have not developed the habit of chasing weekly dramas, and they are all anxious:

[Let me pay to watch advanced on-demand? I would rather spend money to finish watching this case! ]

[I regret it so much. I know how to raise a child when reading a book, but why did I forget it when watching a TV series? I shouldn't have watched it at this time! ]

[But I watched Su Zhe's mystery drama too late, and I'm worried about being spoiled. It's really too difficult...]

# Ten thousand people signed a petition to update "Detective Lin Mo" #

The hot search list dominated almost every social software.

It seemed that on this day, everyone was chasing this TV series and wanted to know the murderer.

This made the rating of "Lin Mo" on Douban very polarized. There were many 5-star ratings, but there were also many 1-star ratings, and almost all of them said:

[One star is reserved, and the score will be changed after the case is broadcast. ]

So, "Lin Mo" broke Su Zhe's record, and even only scored 6 points after the opening. There is no objectivity in this score, it's all emotion.

The crew of "Lin Mo" had no choice but to weakly remind the audience on Weibo:

["Unnatural Death" is also a weekly drama. 】

The fans were slightly appeased, but soon after the plot of "Unnatural Death" was spread to China, they immediately raged:

["Unnatural Death" tells a case in one episode, and "Detective Lin Mo" has just started the case in the same time. Can they compare? 】

[Even if it is broadcast weekly, at least the case should be finished! 】

This makes sense, even Su Zhe can't refute it.

But there is really no way, "Lin Mo" Weibo helplessly explained:

[It is in post-production, the special effects are relatively complicated, and it is really impossible to broadcast the second episode. It was originally planned to be broadcast later, but President Su promised that it must be broadcast this Friday. The post-production teachers worked overtime to finish the first episode. 】

A few photos followed, which showed the post-production teachers working overtime.

The fans were speechless.

After all, it was them who forced Su Zhe to go online with "Lin Mo". Now he is so upset by the broken chapters that he is also to blame for it?

After all, they are fans, not haters, and it is impossible for them to black Su Zhe indiscriminately.

[Oh, it's weird, Su Zhe is so good at filming! ]

[Yes, Su Zhe, don't rest, hurry up and film! ]

Su Zhe: ...

He quietly uploaded the behind-the-scenes footage of himself filming "Wreath". Besides explaining, it can be regarded as marketing.

But the fans of the drama don't buy it:

[I don't want to watch war, I want to watch detective drama! Watch reasoning! Watch weird murders! ]

Someone else said:

[I want to watch martial arts dramas, watch the rivers and lakes, watch the revenge, watch the young knight walk alone with a sword. ]

And:

[I want to watch idol dramas, watch life and death, watch childhood sweethearts, watch sweet sad impulsive love. ]

Su Zhe only replied:

[No, you want to see me die. ]

He's exhausted! Even capitalists are not as cruel as these fans!
