"Heart Poison" & "Crazy Heart" by Chu He

"Crazy Heart" is the third part of the author's special police criminal investigation series. The first part is "Ran Ge", which I haven't watched yet, and "Heart Poison" is the second part. The protagonists of the two films still appear in the third part. The protagonists of these articles are all from special police. "Heart Poison" is Hua Chong, the head of the heavy security team of the Los Angeles Criminal Investigation Detachment, who met the baby brother of An Ze (deceased), his good friend when he was a special police officer, and the information warfare of the Ministry of Public Security. The story of Liu Zhiqin, the elite of the group, the protagonists of "Crazy Heart" are Ming Shu, the head of the serious crime team of the Dongye City Criminal Investigation Team, and Xiao Yu'an, the deputy director. It should be said that the focus of this series is on handling cases.

In fact, I just wanted to write my thoughts after watching "Poison of the Heart", but I was lazy and didn't make time to write it, and now I only have a vague impression, but I can still compare it with this article. Look at the author's final testimonials written in "Crazy Heart", because I am not satisfied with the description of the cases in Heart Poison, so "Crazy Heart" focuses more on the description of the case, each of which has several cases, and the murderers of several cases are not The same person may not even know each other, but this group of cases will be linked to the theme of that one, and the protagonist will look around the past of the people who are related to this group of cases, and some parts will be connected to another in the same film case. Behind every last BOSS there is a story of bitterness or perversion. In short, there are small circles in the big circles, and these circles may not all overlap, and the drawings of the characters may not be clear enough, so the case is really attractive. It's just because there is a case in a case, and each character in each case has a story, which may be to prevent the plot from spreading out and procrastinate. The protagonist's case handling process has been simplified a lot. The case of "Heart Poison" is relatively simple, and it is more difficult to make an impression.

It's just the result of the author's serious writing of the case, which has led to the weakening of the protagonist of "Crazy Heart". In the case of "Heart Poison", since there are secrets behind the two protagonists, there is a reason for Liu Zhiqin to approach Hua Chong. In the middle, there are two protagonists' changes in each other's feelings and the process of falling in love, and there is a BOSS for the protagonist from beginning to end. Existence, and finally the betrayal of Hua Chong's comrades-in-arms, the succession and transformation are obvious, and the protagonist is prominent. However, in "Crazy Heart", the author is too focused on the presentation of the case, and the reader only sees two perfect protagonists to investigate the case---except for Gao Fushuai, who are smart and powerful, and have a deep family background but are not very crooked. There is a sense of justice, and the net worth is innocent. There are no unknown secrets; plus there is almost no emotional line-the two have a stable relationship before the beginning of this work, and the process of nearly 1 million words has no blood and no twists and turns. , The ugly point is that it is tasteless like boiled water, and the two protagonists have no features. In addition, each case is very complicated, a large case sets a small case, and a small case contains a large case. To simplify it, we can only start with the protagonist. This makes the two protagonists have no features at all, so I feel that "Crazy Heart" is not danmei at all, but a so-called (just "proclaimed"! They almost don't even sprinkle dog food!) The two male protagonists are pure lover relationships Criminal Investigation Fiction.

Although I like the plot flow, but after all, what I watch is danmei, that is, I want to see two handsome guys fall in love; of course, the proportion of love can be reduced, but "Crazy Heart" is too low, even for a plot flow reader like me I will also feel that the power is not enough and the battery life is not enough to give up the text...

After seeing it, I changed my mind and adjusted to the attitude of reading criminal investigation novels. However, based on my understanding of criminal investigation (or reasoning) texts, I was different. The structure of each part of "Crazy Heart" is very large and complex. The author wants to clearly express the story behind each character in each case, resulting in the story becoming quite complicated and readers easily confused; plus The process of handling the case is written too briefly, and the protagonist can find key clues or key figures by discussing and discussing it freely (for example, to find out who the younger brother of a retired undercover agent was sold when he was a child), so as a mystery novel, I feel that the level is not enough. Moreover, the protagonist is so upright and awe-inspiring, and he wants to move a big man, but it is unrealistic that he was not obstructed by the high-level when handling the case. In addition, the ending of the last story is too weak. The bosses of the previous cases still have an ambush when they reveal their true faces, but this boss appeared too abruptly, weakening the momentum of the appearance, so the ending was a little weak.

The conclusion is that I recommend "Heart Poison" for these two articles. Although the first few cases are difficult to impress, at least there are the emotional scenes of the protagonist, the final confrontation with the BOSS, and the plot twist of facing the betrayal of comrades-in-arms. In the case of "Crazy Heart", as long as you don't read it as a tanmei novel, it's fine. "Heart Poison" can still be slapped. For "Heart Crazy", points are deducted because the emotional line is too desolate. Although it is considered a criminal investigation article, although it is passable, it is not enough, so the article is desolate and readable.
