"I know."

If you say this to most fans of the Japanese animation and comic series Detective Conan, he or she will laugh. It is what Conan says every time he finds the murderer, and must be the most frequently occurring line in each episode.

Yet they may not know an exhibition featuring series creator Aoyama Gōshō's manuscript of this comic series will be held in Beijing from today to Aug 28. It is the first time the documents will be showcased in China.

Chinese actor Guo Tao attended the press conference for this exhibition yesterday.

"On behalf of my son, I come here. This is his 'order' I must obey," Guo laughed, "He asked me to shoot some interesting things at the exhibition."

"I wish my son could be wise and smart as Conan."

The animation series premiered in Japan in 1996, and was introduced to China the following year. In the past 19 years, many young Chinese people have become die-hard Conan fans.

You can find the latest episode, 837, on the Internet.
