The origin of the pen name

The secret of the pen name

The pen name of "Wensel" itself contains multiple meanings:

The transliteration of Unser in German Unser Detektiv. Unser is a possessive pronoun in German, which means "ours". "Our Detective"-Here, Wensel, the protagonist, secretly belongs to the original detective role of China people.

a part of "take Wensel [1]" in classical Chinese means "to make you (you, readers: there is no derogatory meaning here) benefit from articles (series of novels)".

The football team VfB Stuttgart in the author's city has a defender named Timo Wenzel who has played for this team for more than ten years, and a translation of the German surname Wenzel is "Wensel [2]".

The author claimed, "There is still a mystery about myself hidden under this pen name, and only those who really know me can solve it." [Source Request].

Other doubts about the source of the pen name

Wenzel is a typical German-speaking country surname, but according to the background setting of this detective series, this name should appear as the protagonist's first name [3].

In addition, the main characters in the series (that is, Wensel, Taffney, Handick and mosman) don't give their surnames-in the series of articles, whenever it is necessary to give their surnames, the author uses narrative tricks to avoid them. See the main roles in the series for details.

Introduction of the appearance characters

The main role of the series

The protagonist of Wenzel (whose surname is unknown at present), a private detective who is famous for his calm reasoning in Free Will City. He used to be an agent in the 11th police station of Free Will City. He resigned in March 1992 [7] because he was dissatisfied with the bureaucratic style and the power supervision mode that was completely dependent on public opinion. And because of an unexpected reward, I was able to realize my desire to set up an independent detective agency. Wensel only smokes Marlboro cigarettes (Marlboro is usually used in novels), so he is a heavy smoker. The second foreign language I took in middle school was Latin [8] and I can speak Chinese [9]. Concerned about current events, I usually read Free Will, but I will ask my assistant to pre-select the pages of literature and fashion [1] to save time. A little research on wine and European history. My favorite cocktail is Mojito, but I can't mix the wine myself [11].

Taphne (surname unknown at present) was raised by her aunt Mertel since her parents died in an air crash (perhaps inaccurate). Graduated from the Business School of Free Will University, but chose to be a detective assistant for unknown reasons. She is the successor of Yulia (Wensel's assistant before she went to South Africa), but she can't be a reliable helper like Yulia-in fact, Tafni's daily work is mostly to record inquiries, organize files, be responsible for contact, and conclude cases. However, she is obviously dissatisfied with this situation, and often tries to investigate the case independently: even if the result is mostly frustrating, and even often falls into a difficult situation because of it, Wensel always gives maximum help in a way that conforms to the behavior of the hard-core protagonist. The relationship between the two men has gradually warmed up since the explosion of the detective agency in 23. My hobbies are shopping, having afternoon tea with Amy, and watching a series produced by Free Will (usually broadcast by FW5).

Handick (surname unknown at present) is a good friend of Wensel and a colleague of his when he was working in the 11th police station. Handick is an honest man who tries to act tactfully. He tries to protect himself in all the official duties of the police station and is always worried about getting into trouble (this is also a general feature of senior agents in Free Will, but there are exceptions). However, I can't simply refuse all kinds of requests made by my good friend Wensel because of the need of investigation. High-level officials of the General Administration often take advantage of the friendship between Handick and Wensel to secretly push troublesome cases to the department under the jurisdiction of Handick in the 11th Branch. Handick is also willing to entrust these cases to Wensel: most of these cases can be solved smoothly (at least in a way that satisfies the high-level officials of the General Administration), and Handick has been valued by the Branch and promoted several times. At present, he is the chief of the criminal section of the eleventh branch, divorced, and likes to collect precious wines.

Mossman (surname unknown at present), a good friend of Wensel, acts as a regular consultant of the detective agency in the novel, and is responsible for investigating all kinds of information related to the case involved. During my college years, I have shown my genius in hacking. I have served in the military and am good at writing Trojan horses and worm programs. Unemployed, living alone and untidy, he is a typical image of an older otaku. As the youngest child of Auntie Wody, he is often troubled by his mother's enthusiastic visit (because he thinks he has grown up, and his mother obviously treats him as a child). Similar to the average otaku, mosman seldom goes out. Although there is no excessive social phobia, there are still some problems in the communication with women: however, for familiar friends, his performance is quite normal, and he is even willing to go out to attend a friend party held at Wensel's house. I like sweets.

"Inspector Hans" repeatedly mentioned in the testimony of witnesses in Cold Steel, the first work in the series, delivered an invitation letter with mysterious information to the protagonist at the end of this article, and officially appeared in the series. He often appears in the preface or at the end of the series-in the preface, it shows that this article has something to do with the secret organization "NEVES"; At the end, I prefer to chat in a bar to explain what still puzzles the detective in the case that should have ended, and even subvert all the previous conclusions in one fell swoop. Hans's conversation skills are superb. He is good at capturing each other's ideas and giving appropriate responses at the right time. He also knows how to avoid sensitive questions skillfully and choose the best time to change the topic. He tends to be a kind old man in speech and manners. Wensel is at a disadvantage in every contest with Hans.

Amy (whose surname is unknown at present) is a well-known news anchor at 9 o'clock on FW TV (sometimes on location) and a close friend of Taffney. They have been friends since college. Even though their work is very busy, they still have their own tea time. In addition to meeting each other, Amy often chats with Taffney in various ways (telephone, mobile phone, icq and even code words when broadcasting news directly). Amy is smart, sociable and observant, but she is sincere and unselfish with her friends. In favor of Taffney dating Wensel.

Karl Neuner, an outstanding black detective in the general administration, likes to compete with Wensel in cases, but unfortunately he is always less careful than Wensel. Recently, there are signs of being bribed by the "anti-seven"

Siegle Epel (whose surname is unknown at present) had a short cooperation with Wenzel before the old Jim case, grew a beard, and was a funny and practical old detective.

for the religious significance of "NEVES", please refer to the seven virtues and seven deadly sins.

Overall style

The protagonist of Wensel detective series follows the setting of raymond chandler, the ancestor of the cold school, in form, but actually subverts the detective image of the "justice messenger" in the past, which is more in line with the characteristics of a real person: detectives are not omnipotent, but similar.
