Chapter 452: Simultaneous launch and simultaneous explosion
Keita Urata turned on the TV curiously. As a die-hard fan of "Detective Conan", he was very curious about this spin-off series.

At this point, the theme song has already passed, and the TV series begins with a startling fact:

In Japan, the vast majority of unnatural deaths are arbitrarily assigned causes of death without undergoing autopsies, and are cremated before the cause of death is determined.

The autopsy rate for unnatural deaths in Japan ranges from 17% at its highest to only 2% at its lowest, ranking last among developed countries.

Because there are only about a hundred forensic practitioners in Japan, they are simply unable to handle the work.

This shocking number shocked Keita Urata greatly. He did not expect that professional forensic scientists, which are common in detective novels, are so rare in Japan.

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

UDI has two autopsy teams, led by Nakadashi, who has dissected 3000 cadavers, and Mikoto, who has dissected 1500 cadavers.

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

Urata Keita was so fascinated by what he saw that he couldn't help but repeat Mikoto's words:
"Forensic medicine is a 7K job - tiring, smelly and dangerous, with strict regulations, no holidays, no makeup, no marriage... No wonder there are so few forensic doctors!"

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

But in Urata Keita's opinion, this makes Mikoto even more charming——

This is a beautiful woman who dissected 1500 corpses herself!
"Mikoto-sister, come and dissect me!"

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

After a quick characterization, the case of the first episode comes up.

A man named Takano died suddenly and the hospital diagnosed him with ischemic heart disease, so no investigation was launched.

However, Takano's parents believed that their son was in good health and could not have died suddenly, so they entrusted the autopsy to UDI, and Mikoto took over.

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

So, Mikoto began to suspect Takano's girlfriend, and the investigation process familiar to Conan fans began.

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

Keita Urata couldn't help but go online to discuss it, and found that many viewers were discussing it online:
[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 my girlfriend's lab.]

[It can't be a girlfriend. This is too simple. Su Zhe can't possibly design such a simple case.]

As expected, Mikoto eliminated all the toxins and fell into a daze.

At Zhongtang's reminder, she discovered that Gao Ye had been on a business trip to Arabia and suspected that he did not die from poison, but was infected with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

After inspection, it turned out to be true and the case was solved - Takano died of the virus.

Urata Keita was dumbfounded:
"Ah? So simple, there is no murderer? Then what's the point of solving the case?"

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

Keita Urata even wanted to curse.

But the pace of the TV series is very fast. In order to prevent the spread of MERS, UDI announced the truth, and Takano's parents were also subjected to social violence.

The Chinese people may be puzzled by this situation - Gao Ye died of the virus, but he did not intentionally spread it, so why should he be blamed?

But Japanese people like Keita Urata took it for granted - Takano had caused trouble for the whole society and made it possible for other people to be infected, so of course he should be condemned.

Amidst the condemnation, UDI discovered something strange. They found that Takano's girlfriend, as a close contact, did not have any symptoms. They suspected that Takano did not contract the disease 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 that Dongyang Medical University was the source of infection and that it concealed the epidemic, leading to the death of a large number of patients in the hospital, including Takano.

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

Keita Urata was stunned and felt very complicated.

This episode, titled "The Nameless Poison", is obviously completely different from "Detective Conan". There is no murderer, no motive, and no method of killing.

Yes, it was the inaction of the police, the negligence of hospital management, and the cruelty of ignoring life and concealing the truth.

So who was 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 mystery drama for adults, more realistic, cruel and powerless than Conan."

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

Conan's enemies are the murderers who use various killing methods to challenge the detective's IQ.

And Mikoto——

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

"If you and I unite, we will be invincible!"

Zhongtang asked with a dull look:
"Who is the enemy?"

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

"Unnatural death."

After this episode, this word suddenly has a different meaning.

The theme song "Lemon" sounded, but Urata Keita was extremely excited by the last line:
"You're so cool, Mikoto-nee!"

"It's so handsome!"

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

Countless otaku expressed the same sentiment as him.

Female viewers also thought Mikoto was so cool, and some even impulsively said, "I want to be a forensic scientist in the future."

It’s okay, I’ll give up.

As the internet was buzzing with discussions, TV stations finally got the ratings data and immediately cheered and celebrated.

Thanks to Conan's traffic, the first episode of "Unnatural Death" had a viewership rating of 8.2%, and it became a hit as soon as it aired.

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

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

(Equivalent to 8.8 points on Douban)
Obviously, the show was a success!

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

Li Wenshi clicked on it 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, and like ordinary audiences, she wanted to see it firsthand.

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

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

A man flew up in his dream and left a bloody handprint on the ceiling.

Countless rosary beads suddenly appeared in a man's home, and he was choked to dizziness by an unknown force.

The last person, named A Shui, performed a strange dance, jumped from a tall building, and died on the spot.

Many of these supernatural events were recorded by video surveillance or witnessed by passers-by, especially the case of Ah Shui jumping off a building. The camera captured a woman in white dancing and then jumping off a balcony.

This scared the Thai police. In this country that is known for supernatural films, they all believed that ghosts killed people and were unable to 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 his extremely unique ability.

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 that of a drug-sniffing dog. He should not be a detective, but apply to be a police dog, where the pay is higher than that of a soldier.

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

In the play, he uses his sense of smell and analysis to show the same quick analysis as Qin Feng.

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

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

[I can do black dog! ]

[This uncle is so handsome, 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 show "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, after all, no one can write a series of excellent detective stories. I didn’t expect that he could really do it.]

[Don't mess with Su Zhe! He has ten thousand ways to kill people in his mind! ]

The barrage of comments was very lively at the beginning, but as the case continued, all clues pointed to the ghost killing people, so they focused their attention on the case.

The three best friends of the deceased Ah Shui encountered increasingly horrifying supernatural events and the music became increasingly eerie.

[Could it really be a ghost that killed someone? 】

[Then why solve the case? The Ten Commandments of Reasoning say that you cannot use supernatural powers.]

[Don't even mention the Ten Commandments, Knox is a moron! He doesn't even allow the Chinese to show up! ]

(Knox: "If you're in a bookstore flipping through a book you've never heard of and it mentions narrow-eyed Chinks, put the book down; it's bad.")
[Even without mentioning racism, 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 country, and the General Administration does not allow ghosts to appear. ]

【…】

[That makes perfect sense. ]

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

But everything in the first episode points to the ghost 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, prompting them to watch carefully.

And 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 adopts the weekly broadcast format which is rare in China.

So viewers found themselves having to wait a week if they wanted to see the next episode.

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

The audience who followed the drama went crazy:

[Weekly broadcast? No, I'm anxious and curious now. It's inhumane of you to interrupt the chapter like this! ]

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

In fact, in foreign countries, weekly broadcasting and filming at the same time is a very normal behavior.

If you want to watch more, there really isn't, because it's a highly commercialized market. Just like online literature, if no one reads it, it will be discontinued. Except for big productions or sequels that are sure to be hot-selling, who would shoot and broadcast them all in one go?

They are all filmed and broadcasted at the same time. If the ratings are high, more episodes will be filmed. The program can even focus on filming content that the audience likes and increase the roles of popular characters based on audience feedback.

However, the format of filming and broadcasting at the same time is rarely seen in China, and it is almost impossible to do so.

It has something to do with the monopoly of TV stations and online platforms, and the habits left over from the unified purchase and sale in the past, but the most fundamental reason is -

There are restrictions on the version number and the review! The film can only be released after it has been reviewed. The company can work overtime for commercial interests while filming. Will the review work overtime with you?

Therefore, Chinese audiences, who have not developed the habit of following weekly dramas, are all very anxious:
[Can you let me pay to watch the advanced on-demand video? I would rather spend money to finish watching this case! ]

[I regret it so much. I knew how to raise a child when I read the book, but why did I forget it when I was watching the drama? 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's Blood Letter Updates "Detective Lin Mo"#
The hot search list has dominated almost every social software.

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

This makes the ratings of "Lin Mo" on Douban very polarized. There are many 5-star ratings, but there are also many 1-star ratings, and almost all of them say:

[One star is reserved. The score will be changed after the case is broadcast. 】

As a result, "Lin Mo" broke Su Zhe's record, and even got only 6 points after the opening score. 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" reached China, they immediately exploded:

[In "Unnatural Death", a case is told in one episode, while in "Detective Lin Mo", the case has just begun in the same period of time. Can they be compared? ]

[Even if it's broadcast weekly, at least finish telling the story! ]

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

But there is really no other way. Lin Mo explained helplessly on Weibo:
[It is in post-production now. The special effects are quite complicated, so we really can’t air the second episode. We originally planned to air it later, but Mr. Su promised that it must be aired this Friday. The post-production teachers worked overtime to finish the first episode.]

Following are a few photos showing teachers working overtime.

The fans were speechless.

After all, it was they who forced Su Zhe to go online with "Lin Mo". Now he is so upset by the broken chapters, can it be said that it is his own fault?
After all, they are fans, not haters, and it is impossible for them to slander Su Zhe unreasonably.

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

[Yes, Su Zhe, don’t rest any more, hurry up and go film! ]

Su Zhe:......

He quietly uploaded the behind-the-scenes footage of himself filming "The Garland", which was not only an explanation, but also a marketing move.

But fans are not buying it:

[I don’t want to watch wars, I want to watch detective dramas! Mysteries! Strange murders! ]

Others said:

[I want to watch martial arts dramas, watch the heroes roaming the world, watch the happy revenge, watch the young knights wielding swords alone. ]

as well as:

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

Su Zhe only replied:

[No, you want to see me die.]

He is so tired! Even capitalists are not as ruthless as these fans!
