In speculative film and television literature, detectives are often mainly male, which is mainly determined by the nature of the work, and to a certain extent, it is caused by the creation of fixed thinking, but there are also many writers who are shaping "female detectives" and have gained a good reputation from readers.
"The Mystery of the Apartment"
Speaking of "female detective", we have to mention "Miss Marple". Agatha Christie's "The Mystery of the Apartment" is the first appearance of the elderly but elegant, "nosy" detective. This book also set the basic tone of the Miss Marple series. The background is the English countryside, those who come and go, true and false suspects, will not be any earth-shattering people, villagers, priests, police detectives... Everyone doubted each other, and they whispered clues that they were not aware of. And Miss Marple, with the appearance of an ordinary old lady, easily blended into it and quietly found out the truth.
In fact, the image of "Miss Marple" has many readers associated with the "chaoyang district masses". So is there such an alternative detective as "Miss Marple"?
Yes, there is a grandma detective team of three grandmas in "Nothing Grandma Can't Find Out". And the way this book is written is more grounded. At first glance, it is unimaginable that these old ladies who are instigating and gossiping can also be detectives. But what is interesting is that it is precisely these few elderly people who are easily despised and ignored who see the malice hidden in people's hearts.
"There's Nothing Grandma Can't Find Out"
Like the "Miss Marple" series, this book "Nothing Grandmas Can't Find Out" also focuses on the description of group portraits, all kinds of people, etc., with their own purposes, in order to achieve their own goals, saying different words and presenting different faces. To grasp the common ground and dig out the internal logic is not a simple thing. The experience and life experience accumulated by the elderly come into play at this time.
In the novel, the grandmother detective team that seems to be unable to keep up with the times, although there is no high-tech reconnaissance equipment, but with their own social experience, they are also no less than the investigation ability of Skynet surveillance. Although there are no professional terms coming out of their mouths, they are so powerful that they have achieved "three stinky cobblers who have raced Zhuge Liang", and they have gradually approached the truth by chatting with gossip-like strength. In the ridiculous story, feel the warmth of the sunset red.
In addition, there are also many writers who try to shape ancient women, most of whom use the Tang Dynasty, the most open dynasty in ancient history, as the background, and shape many female detectives who are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people - Huang Zifeng in "The Record of hairpins" and Pei Xuanjing in "The Suspense record of the Tang Dynasty".
"The Record of the Hairpins"
"The Record of hairpins" is an ancient detective novel created by The Side Light Han, which has formed a strong reputation on the Internet, and Huang Zifeng has also become a brave and intelligent female detective in the hearts of readers.
The "Tang Dynasty Suspense Record" focuses on cultural suspense, and the protagonist goddess Detective Pei Xuanjing has a record in the ancient book "The Legend of the Continuing Immortals". As set in "The Legend of the Continuing Immortals", the heroine in "The Suspense of the Tang Dynasty" also has a fairy-like beauty, although she was born in a family of official eunuchs, but since her mother died at an early age, her father died of illness before she reached adulthood, and Pei Xuanjing had to turn to her uncle Pei Du, who was the prime minister in the capital.
"Datang Suspense"
Not long after arriving at Pei Du's mansion, Pei Du's friend of the same dynasty, Wu Yuanheng, the prime minister, came to visit, met Pei Xuanjing, praised her, and personally introduced Pei Xuanjing to the poet Li He. However, not long after hiding, his uncle Pei Du and the prime minister Wu Yuanheng were assassinated, and the prime minister Wu Yuanheng died tragically on the street, and Pei Du was also seriously injured. Pei Xuanjing unexpectedly discovered that this was a long-planned conspiracy, and the people involved were far from his uncle Pei Du and Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng, and even Li He, who had not yet met, was deeply involved in it. Pei Xuanjing began her own path of searching for the truth for the sake of her uncle, Wu Yuanheng, and the talented son Li He, who was praised by the world.
