Recently Got into Crime and Forensics: Any Stories with Two Police-Detective Leads?
Looking for books similar to *Captain, Watch Out: This Policewoman Has Thorns.* To be clear, both leads need to be criminal investigators! I want good writing and tight logic.

It's amazing!! It's been my bedtime listening for the past two weeks! I listened to the whole thing. It's a very realistic novel; the cases aren't solved by the protagonist's plot armor, but by the combined efforts of various departments! The ratio of crime-solving to romance is 9:1, and the romance isn't at all frustrating or melodramatic.
It's a very realistic novel. I've read over a hundred chapters. As long as there's no melodramatic romance later on, you can watch it like a crime documentary. 🤦 The plot is unremarkable, and the crime-solving process is basically the same as in real life, relying mainly on technology and the power of the people to solve cases.
It's a great read. I felt like I could find similarities between each storyline and real-life situations. Each story, though seemingly bizarre, is logically sound. The characters are also very well-developed: Gu Chen, Lao Zhang, Xu Xian, Wang Dong, Liu Anming, and Ding Yueyao—each one has their own distinct personality. In short, it's definitely worth reading!
The story is very engaging, logically sound, and the characters are realistically portrayed without overly emphasizing the main character. Overall, it's a great read. Each story is complete and well-developed, like watching a TV series; it's very exciting and I can't wait for more. Please update soon!
This is a truly captivating novel. The plot is intricately woven, the cases are full of twists and turns, the reasoning unfolds layer by layer, and there are reversals upon reversals. The book's chapters are tightly packed, the author's writing style is excellent, and the subject matter is fresh and rich, indicating that the author must have put a lot of thought and effort into it.
It's a good read, and every story has a beginning and an end. Keep it up, looking forward to the next update!
Superb read! The logic is clear and the cases follow one after another. The reasoning is intricately linked, and all the clues are explained logically in the end. The ending is full of twists and turns, and you can't guess who the real murderer is until the very last moment. At the same time, the author vividly portrays the good and ugliness of human nature, making it a truly exceptional book. It could easily be adapted into a TV series; it's absolutely brilliant.
It's great!! Every character is so vivid and relatable! It feels very realistic, and the case logic is excellent 😘❤️ Please update soon! I started by just browsing casually, but then I kept reading! I even just realized I hadn't added it to my bookshelf yet 🤦 (Already added to favorites)
Each story unfolds like a scroll, revealing itself little by little. Every story conveys an idea, not just about the case, but also about life. Each character is a protagonist, a real, living being. The logic is sound.
This is a really good crime drama novel. One case after another, I feel so sorry for the police officers; they really have no rest! 🤦 The cases are so exciting, how could the score not be high? I don't understand Tomato's rating system. The characters in this book are vividly portrayed, each one is fleshed out, the police team is a very exciting group, everyone is responsible for their duties and…
