The story is full of twists and turns, captivating the reader.
Every character in this novel is vividly portrayed. The cases are intricate and interconnected, with meticulous analysis and a tight, logical plot. The characters are intelligent throughout, making this a rare gem of a crime thriller. It's truly rare to find a novel like this by Tomato, where the writing is so strong, the plot so engaging, and the story so readable.
Chapter 397 is a dividing line. I don't know if the author got confused or what, but characters who died suddenly came back to life and started another story. So either you read up to chapter 397 from the very first page, or you skip the earlier chapters and go straight to the ending from chapter 398. You can treat it as two separate stories. The earlier content is quite good, with some elements reminiscent of Hong Kong TV dramas and others of Detective Conan.
The plot is vivid, the characters are well-developed, the theme is clear, and the emotions are genuine and moving. The most outstanding highlight is the natural, fluent, and beautiful language; it's effortless to read…the kind of reading that you just can't put down. I've already read it twice in one go, and I love it! ❤️
I really like this book; it's a great mystery novel, and I love reading mystery novels.
I particularly love this book. It's both enigmatic and remarkably believable. The portrayal of the protagonist—intelligent, brave, loyal, and steadfast—is a true reflection of Chinese criminal police. Art originates from life but transcends it. I thank the author for creating a monument to the people's police.
I'd seen most of the content in the TV series, but from a novel perspective, the content is still very engaging, full of suspense and intrigue, and quite entertaining. Highly recommended! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wasn't the dismemberment case already solved? Lu Yuan, the child who escaped from the grasslands, was the real culprit, and was the person who copied the crime also an elderly, ailing lawyer?
It's alright. The story is suspenseful and intricate, with a lot of hidden tension. I want to keep watching.
I really enjoy novels that solve various cases; every part is exciting! As the case unfolds, you're constantly on edge, feeling tense one moment and relieved the next. Following the plot, we admire our criminal investigators' loyalty to the country and their dedication to the people. They are the guardians of our peaceful lives, and we have boundless respect and love for them!
