Fireflies Illuminate the Hidden Crickets

I wrote this story with utmost care, hoping to share some reflections on the world with everyone. The names of the male and female protagonists are taken from a line of poetry: "A delicate teacup is held, a silent string is played." I really like the imagery this line evokes, giving a feeling of pure tranquility despite having experienced many hardships.

I initially found Qin Yuan's appearance and death inexplicable. But at the end, when he said he was free, I cried so much. If he had lived a normal life, he could have used his high intelligence to shine in his chosen field and become an extraordinary person. But there are no "ifs." His childhood was filled with tragedies, and he barely escaped the clutches of hell on his own. His body was free, but his soul was forever trapped in the nightmares of his childhood. 🥺🥺🥺

The case unfolds in a series of interconnected events, gradually revealing the ultimate mastermind. The villains embody the complexity of human nature, ranging from victims who become perpetrators to outright psychopaths. However, we must judge by facts. Some things are wrong, and while we can pity their past experiences, we cannot ignore their crimes; they should be punished accordingly.

This is truly a wonderful crime drama novel. Each case is intricately linked, and every character is vividly portrayed. I especially love the couple Bao Luan and Mu Feng; could the author possibly consider writing a separate book or side story for them? 💕 I also love this line from the female lead's father: "The gentle breeze embraces the moon, never failing; half flowing clouds, half light."

The author writes very well. The truth in the first story was very moving; I cried so much reading it late at night. I felt so deeply empathetic, even with the foreshadowing, it was still hard to accept when it was confirmed. 😢😢😢

I really... Love it! Every character is wonderful. My writing isn't great, but this is truly amazing (in my opinion). Consultant Shen is a very intelligent, gentle, and strong person. Captain Wan is practically a guiding lover (though not many, but he's incredibly perceptive). The police officers, and even Grandpa and Grandma Wang, are all wonderful people.

I didn't write a review when I started reading this book, perhaps subconsciously thinking I wasn't qualified to. Now that I've finished it, I realize I misread the title from the very beginning. I thought it was "Firefly Illuminating Hidden Fireflies," but it's actually "Firefly Illuminating Hidden Crickets." The author's ending also deeply moved me.

It's very well written, really very well written, and each character is very well-developed. Even the villains explained why they turned bad, except for the hypnotist, who wasn't really explained much. Everyone was dragged into the abyss, but they could have escaped like Consultant Shen. However, they chose to go further into darkness. Therefore, different choices lead to different results.

It's a great book. The author's writing is excellent, and the character development is also very good. Each character has their own unique traits. The plot, setting, and details are all very good. It's just that it's not very popular. Is it because it's a new book?

Bai Qianfeng's situation was truly tragic. He was sold abroad by his parents and turned into a psychopath. Four years after his disappearance, his parents immediately applied for his death certificate to collect their money. If they hadn't forced him to go abroad, he wouldn't have been trafficked and would have finished university in China.
