Nagakawa's "The Detective Collection of Ye Huang and Couple" was a rare "husband and wife" detective series during the Republic of China. At that time, it broke away from the "detective + assistant" model of Sherlock Holmes and adopted a relatively novel "double detective model": the police husband Ye Zhixiong is brave, capable, and carries a gun, and is a capable officer in the police; his wife Huang Xuewei gradually grew up as a private detective because of her love of reading detective novels.
This book collects nine novels in the "Ye Huang Couple Detective" series currently available: "A Kitchen Knife", "The Illegitimate Child Is Missing", "Fox Fire", "Death in a Bowl of Porridge", "Red Shoes", "The Man Following", "Strange Letter", "Emerald Vase" and "The Great Detective's Car Theft". It is a complete collection of this series more than 70 years after its birth.
Reader comments
I especially like the story "A Kitchen Knife". The plot is very compact, and Ye Zhixiong and Huang Xuewei also work well together. I feel that both of their characters are very powerful, one is brave and capable, the other is witty and smart. Moreover, the police, cigarette shop owner, apprentice and other characters in the story are also very distinctive. Overall, this book is well worth reading!
It's too simple, there is no thrilling process, the pig's feet solved the case easily.
However, the depiction of women is fair, neither strong nor weak. The male protagonist is slightly inferior to his wife in terms of thinking. After all, women are better at observing subtle things.
There are many annotations, which will help readers understand the differences between the various parties after the Republic of China and now.
The content is short and the number of words is small, so you can read it in a day or two. You can also listen and read simultaneously.
