Suspense writer Zhou Haohui is known as "Keigo Higashino of China", and "Death Notice" (now known as "The Dark one") is his masterpiece, and the excitement of this novel can be imagined. As a criminal mystery novel, "Death Notice" can be called a suspenseful and gripping masterpiece from the overall structure of the novel, the ability to control the suspenseful plot, the delicate portrayal of the positive and negative character personalities, the detailed description of the "grass gray snake line, the pulse of a thousand miles", or the logical super trick design, etc., which can be called a suspenseful and gripping masterpiece, and the whole work is painful to read, which makes people have to beat the knot.
The "Death Notice" is divided into three parts, namely "The Dark one", "Fate" and "Parting Song", which is mainly about the strong duel between the legal defender and the extrajudicial sanctioner Eumenides (hereinafter referred to as "E"), in addition to the mental journey of three generations of police legends and their fierce ideological collisions, the black and white sides of the open struggle and their infernal conspiracy plot. Every character in the novel is shaped with flesh and blood, and each character has his own firm faith and unspeakable bitterness, and the character who impressed me the most should be the killer E Wen Chengyu.
Half of Wen Chengyu's "Death Notice" trilogy has no name, and the other half also appears in front of readers under pseudonyms, and the reader witnesses his birth and growth step by step as the criminal police Luo Fei and the members of the task force he leads track and analyze Wen Chengyu. The tension and excitement of the novel's plot about Wen Chengyu are beyond imagination, so that readers can't help but follow the trajectory of his life in the breathless reading, and rush to the ending that is both heartbreaking and unexpected, after experiencing these wonderful plots, I believe that every reader will be deeply attracted to him.
(1) Wen Chengyu: A highly intelligent cold-blooded killer who walks in the dark like a ghost
Wen Chengyu is an extrajudicial sanctioner, this cold-blooded killer who walks in the dark like a ghost, in the first part of the "Death Notice" belongs to the characters who live in the mouths of the members of the task force, he rarely appears very mysteriously: nameless and no looks describe his origins except for Old E, and the book only calls him "young man" in the book, and only writes his appearance in the second part: he is a tall and handsome young man.
TV series "Dark one" Wen Chengyu
The novel begins with policeman Zheng Haoming searching for evidence of the murder of eighteen years ago and his murder, and the murderer is Wen Chengyu.
After killing Zheng Haoming, Wen Chengyu issued death notices to the police and the prisoners at the same time, and then killed the prisoners under the heavy protection of the police, which was undoubtedly a naked provocation for the police community, forcing the police to swear against E for the sake of the law and its own dignity.
Usually the killers act in a covert and low-key manner, and if they are forced to do so, they will never openly sing against the police, because only in this way can their lives be protected to the greatest extent, and the same is true for E's early actions, as evidenced by the ugly and evil souls imprisoned in 13 bottles, but why did E later become so high-profile and so open? Is it to show off the incompetence of the police?
No! E is to use the power of life to uncover a truth that has been buried for eighteen years, to avenge the wronged souls of the dead.
Old E's target of revenge is Deng Hua, and he says to his beloved disciple E Wenchengyu: Only by killing Deng Hua can you become a truly qualified extrajudicial sanctioner.
Deng Ye, as the chief president of Longyu Group, is known as "Mayor Deng" by the world, and from this nickname, it can be seen that he is a black-and-white all-you-you-the bottom line of Deng Hua's early years is extremely unclean, and he was a police informant, but he made his fortune with drug money, and there are many murders at hand: for example, Old E's ex-girlfriend was killed by him.
Deng Hua usually stayed in the security work armed to the teeth, impregnable Long Yu Building, when there was a problem, there were groups of bodyguards, in order to protect his life, he often changed his appearance. Therefore, Wen Chengyu wanted to kill Deng Hua and make himself retreat, which became an almost impossible task, and he planned for three years.
Three years later, the opportunity finally appeared, and Wen Chengyu found a "gunman" who could let him borrow a knife to kill people: Han Hao, the head of the provincial criminal police.
Han Hao
Han Hao is not only an iron-blooded tough man who is not afraid of death and jealousy, but also a man who loves fame with a wide eye, and this character determines his later tragic fate.
Han Hao has a memorable past: he and his friend Zou Xu are both elite police circles, and one day when the two were drinking together, they just happened to meet the fugitive Peng Guangfu and two others, and Han Hao killed Zou Xu when he was half drunk while hunting down the fugitive.
After finding the "gunman", Wen Chengyu officially launched the plan to kill Deng.
However, even if Wen Chengyu knew Han Hao's secret and understood the fear in his heart, with Han Haoning's unbending personality, he also knew that it was impossible for him to rely on coercing Han Hao to kill Deng Hua, so he came up with a way: he tried every means to arouse Han Hao's extreme hatred for E, and then used Han Hao's hatred to carry out his own plan to kill Deng.
At this time, Wen Chengyu showed his super high and amazing INTELLIGENCE and absolutely strong ability to act: he issued a "death notice" to the prisoners and the police at the same time, and then a series of unbelievable murders appeared one after another: Zheng Haoming, Han Shaohong, Peng Guangfu... Each time Wen Chengyu escaped perfectly after executing the criminals who escaped legal punishment, and his victory stimulated Han Hao, who regarded E as the first fierce enemy in his life, and Han Hao, who was arrogant but repeatedly failed, was forced to almost go crazy by him, and he hated him deeply and desperately wanted to catch him quickly.
Han Hao was not Wen Chengyu's opponent at all, he was defeated in the duel with Wen Chengyu and soon fell into the abyss of life: he was forced by Wen Chengyu to kill his teammates by Wen Chengyu, and even Wen Chengyu killed Deng Hua with the gun in Han Hao's hand.
Since then, Wen Chengyu has officially become a teacher and become a real extrajudicial sanctioner.
Luo Fei
In fact, there was no sense of excitement in the face of victory Wen Chengyu, in addition to the pain of losing his master, he also knew that his real opponent was not Han Hao but the criminal policeman Luo Fei, he understood very well that Luo Fei had seen through his plan to kill people with a knife, and it was only because of his master Yuan Zhibang that he was able to make up for the leak in time to narrowly win - Yuan Zhibang took advantage of the life of mu Jianyun, a member of the special case team, forcing Luo Fei to remain silent about Han Hao's changes, which led to Han Hao's mistaken killing of Deng Hua.
In fact, the master duel between Luo Fei and E is precisely because they are evenly matched that makes the novel so wonderful.
From the first part, it can be seen how powerful Wen Chengyu is, he is proficient in martial arts, explosives (force value explosion), IT (his IT level is not under the ability of Zeng Rihua, the director of computer technology in the provincial city), literature (when he lurks in the task force as a journalist, he can write a good article that Luo Fei praises for his literary style). He is intelligent and erudite, cold and wise, quick-witted, intelligent, meticulous and calculative (comparable to Luo Fei, the leader of the task force), he is familiar with psychology and is good at psychological tactics, and has an extremely accurate grasp of the weaknesses of human nature (against the psychologist Mu Jianyun in the task force). He is the trump card of aces, almost every skill has reached the most cutting-edge level of the industry, so he can single out the elite task force, wander between the black and white gray area to become an extrajudicial sanctioner, kill the prisoner again and again under the protection of the police and completely escape, and finally complete the task that is impossible in the eyes of the world.
However, this highly intelligent genius killer with the best martial arts eventually died at the hands of the woman he loved most, ending his fateful tragic life.
