Chi Guiyin: Face-Slapping Provincial Experts from the Start

Chi Guiyin, top of his police academy class, is demoted to the Chengnan police station to hand out parking tickets.

Everyone thinks he's washed up.

Then a serial murder case that has stumped the provincial experts comes along, and he identifies the culprit after one look at a photograph.

Yuchi Mingyuan: "You're a beat cop from a local station. Who let you in? Get out!"

Chi Guiyin: "The killer is a woman, twenty-eight years old, and a healthcare worker. Her next target is the head nurse at the city's First People's Hospital."

That very night, the killer is arrested.

The entire room falls silent.

Chi Guiyin opens the old notebook left behind by his grandfather. The patterns on the tortoiseshell shimmer in the lamplight.

From then on, Chi Guiyin identifies the culprit with a glance and delivers a face-slapping blow at every turn.

Provincial experts, face-slapped. Rich second-generation heirs, face-slapped. Academic authorities, face-slapped. International criminal organizations, face-slapped.

Everyone wants to ask the same question:

"Did you figure it out by observation, or did you calculate it?"

Chi Guiyin: "I can tell at a glance."
