After watching "Detective Chinatown 3", I would like to say what I think. The article is divided into two parts: 1. Overall look and feel 2. Take stock of the Tang Detective universe so far and dig into some details of the entire series.
4000 words of commentary, the following contains spoilers, please read after watching the movie.
Let's talk about the overall feeling after watching "Detective Chinatown 3", which is much better than expected.
In terms of comedic effects, similar to the opening of the Indian inspiration film, it quickly sets off the cheerful atmosphere that is consistent with the Spring Festival stall; the use of harmonic stems, judas window has become a big hemorrhoid; the use of expectations is disappointed, contrary to the conventional development ideas and order, so that the audience feels surprised and provoked the laughing nerves, the most typical is the Chinese element gourd baby in the cosplay section, which makes people unexpected and surprised.
In addition to the disappointing expectations of soundtrack rendering and manufacturing, this "Tang Detective 3" also set up a lot of highly skillful baggage, the matryoshka link of the morgue, and the drop of the body's bag many times, which is very funny. And after the elevator horror, it is even more painful to laugh, there is a detail that the nurse has long said that the elevator will always be broken, and then it will be fulfilled. The kind of audience standing in God's perspective knows that it is a burden, and the actors can still make the audience laugh through their own body language, which can be said to be very advanced skills.
Overall, the comedic effect of "Tang Detective 3" can be said to be the best in the series, and the plot is much better than the previous game in terms of reasoning. The laying of various secret room theories, details about screen fragments and many other details are methodical.
What surprises me the most is that compared with the previous work, "Tang Detective 3" has made more efforts in character shaping, if the first two films are only involved in the discussion of order and human nature at the end, then "Tang Detective 3" implements the discussion of human nature throughout the entire detective process. We can see the signs that the male protagonist Qin Feng is hovering on the edge of good and evil, from the first game set by the wanted criminal Murata Akira to how the three people divide 2 bread more fair games, Qin Feng chose to hurt people, to the game of the number of intersections after that, Qin Feng's choice is actually to break the order.
In addition, this movie has a very big supplement to the improvement of the Chinatown detective universe that everyone expects, and I will talk about Chen Sicheng and the Chinatown detective reasoning universe he constructed. (The following is a combination of the "Detective Chinatown" web series, the first and second parts of the "Detective Chinatown" movie, please read after watching the entire series)
Part I: Analysis of the Q organization
At present, Q-related cases exist in "Detective Chinatown 1", "Detective Chinatown 2", "Detective Chinatown 3" and "The Name of the Rose" in the Detective Chinatown web series.
Q participated in the planning of the Bangkok gold robbery that blamed Tang Ren, the hitchhiking murder of the Five Elements Murder Case, the control of the Smiley Face Organization to realize the transfer of the inheritance of the rich man in Thailand for many years, the killing of Lin Mo's parents, and the Tokyo Secret Room case to buy the wanted criminal to frame Qin Feng.
This is an organization that believes that the original sin of the rich and successful is the perfect crime, trying to become an organization above the order.
There should be 12 members of the organization, and there is currently one vacant seat. Those who have been confirmed to be members of the Q organization are: IVY, Naoji Tanaka, Song Yi, and the mysterious man played by Andy Lau.
In addition, the mysterious person who killed Lin Mo's parents should be a member of the Q of the older generation, or one of the 11 Q's.
Confirmed Q member: Song Yi
The New York murders that appeared in the movie "Detective Chinatown 2" are also cases within a case. The doctor prays for eternal life according to the Taoist method of the Five Elements of China. In the process of investigating the case, Song Yi learned the truth of the Five Elements Murder Case in advance, and took the opportunity to kill Lu Guofu to marry the Doctor, the murderer of the Five Elements Murder Case, and realized the free ride.
Confirmed Q member: A mysterious person with a Q tattooed on his hand
Crimaster's fourth-ranked detective, Lin Mo, has a childhood nightmare, and a mysterious man with a Q tattooed on his hand kills Lin Mo's parents, leaving Lin Mo orphaned.
Confirmed Q member: IVY
The Smiley Face organization is divided into three components: a beauty who seduces and marries a rich and wealthy person, a killer who kills a rich man, and a scavenger who cleans up the scene. IVY is ostensibly a miserable beauty controlled by the Smiley Face Organization, but in fact it is the black hand behind the Smiley Face Organization. It wasn't Wen Song, the leader of the Smiley Face Organization, who controlled her, but she controlled Wen Song.
Confirmed Q member: Naoji Tanaka
The most popular superintendent of the Japanese police department in recent years has seen through the truth of the Tokyo gangster fire and secret room case, kidnapped key figures in the game, coerced Qin Feng to participate in the game for testing, and used the death of the wanted criminal to blame Qin Feng to force him to join the organization
Confirmed Q member: Mystery Man
Played by Andy Lau, no other information.
Suspected Q member: Snow
The little girl Snow appears as a black villain in the ending of "Detective Chinatown 1", and in "Detective Chinatown 3", helping Qin Feng appears in the image of white justice. And in the Q member who has been exposed on the round table and the detective alliance headed by Qin Feng at the end, there is no Si Nuo, which shows that she is more like a gray edge.
The Bangkok gold robbery that appeared in the movie "Detective Chinatown 1" is actually a case within a case. On the one hand, the five people organized the robbery of Mr. Yan's gold in Thailand, and later the gold theft case caused by the murder of songpa, the member who kept the gold, and the disappearance of gold caused a riot; on the other hand, the little girl Si Nuo killed Songpa's son, and in order to get rid of songpa who suspected herself, forged a diary to induce her adoptive father to kill Songpa and blame Tang Ren's murder.
In Detective Chinatown 2, Tang Ren clearly said that the person who framed him before was Q.
So I have reason to suspect that the little girl Snow or her adoptive father, Lee, an automobile factory worker, was once one of Q's members, especially in the third part, which has two details:
1. The gift that Si Nuo gave to Qin Feng was similar to the Q god;
2. The origami that Tanaka Naoji left on the table is similar to the origami in "Tang Detective 1";
This also confirms my conjecture: Snow and Q are related.
I even think that Snow or his adoptive father is the one who is missing out of 12 Q's.
(I also have another guess: it is also possible that Qin Feng's father who is in prison is a vacant Q, so Q can obtain Qin Feng's privacy and want his son to inherit his father's business.) (The following reading film please click on the original picture to watch, I made some of the analytical pictures)

Part III: The Details of the Tang Detective Universe
1. Qin Feng's father who is imprisoned:
The reason for the imprisonment is unknown, but it makes Qin Feng determined to achieve a perfect crime, and both Si Nuo and Song Yi have reminded Qin Feng of the distinction between good and evil. There is a high probability that there is a shadow of Q behind Qin Feng's father, and Qin Feng's father personally speculates that it will be an important person to uncover the true face of Q.
2. Snow's adoptive father Lee:
Many people think that the little girl Snow forged her diary to induce her adoptive father to commit a murder case, but at the end of the film, the adoptive father said to Snow before he died that you don't know how much I love you, more like a hint that the adoptive father already knew about Snow's plan and pretended not to know about committing the crime.
3. Qin Feng's sense of smell:
Many people know that Lin Mo is Lin Mo's black dog, dog nose, and in "Detective Chinatown 1", Qin Feng also smells fishy smells in the underground garage, which shows that his specialty is not only human flesh camera, but also sensitive smell.
4. Tang Ren's hidden attributes:
Tang Ren's force value has always been underestimated by the audience, in the first Bangkok gold robbery in the movie, Tang Ren and Qin Feng were blocked in the alley by three robbers, if the other leader had not had a gun, Tang Ren's Mo Jia Fist would have successfully repelled the other three.
In addition, Tang Ren's promotion of the plot is really too great.
Take Detective Chinatown 3:
Feeling murderous on the subway, the first person to perceive the detective's madness was Tang Ren;
At the scene of the crime, the first person to see that there was a problem with the bottle on the table was Tang Ren;
In the guessing game, Noda Hao Qinfeng each finds a number, and the last D character is found by Tang Ren;
Qin Feng only saw that the route was O or 0, and Tang Ren reminded him to calculate a section of the road out of Noda Hao's house, only to find that it was Q;
With so many details, either Tang Ren's character setting is to promote the plot, or Tang Ren is hidden, is a sworn enemy of the Q organization, or is a member of the Q organization.
