Huang He was equivalent to Tang Yuanchu's teacher. When he was a new detective, Huang He was the one who showed him the ropes. He had been following Huang He to understand more about being a detective and learnt a great deal of knowledge that books would be unable to teach him and from there, he had become a real detective.

Huang He had clear thinking, was upright, courageous and fearless—That was Tang Yuanchu's impression of Huang He.

In contrast, Bai Muchuan and Huang He appeared to be very cool.
Huang He looked up and smiled at Tang Yuanchu. "I'm not dead, why are you behaving in such a mournful manner?"
