You Asked for a Detective Story, but a Genius Boy Solves a Major Case

Yan Yu wakes up at the scene of the [Young Screenwriters’ Competition]. The plots of the movies from his previous life are only vague in his mind. What is he supposed to do? Luckily, he activates a god-tier Screenwriter System. In the competition, contestants have to write a story based on a genre chosen by the judges. The judges announce the genre: [Detective]. Private detectives? The contestants look at one another, unsure what to do. Some write about detectives catching cheating spouses or finding lost cats. Another contestant is eliminated on the spot for having a detective solve cases by eavesdropping on people’s private lives. Then the scene switches to Yan Yu. Without hesitation, Yan Yu presents Detective Chinatown. Everyone laughs. “A bookworm who was nearly sent to prison after getting screwed over by a relative, and a fake detective who catches cats and cheating spouses? What could he possibly be capable of?” “Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” “Actually, nobody cares about the truth. People only believe the truth they want to see.” “Nothing feels worse than everyone looking down on you, except having everyone pity you.” “When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you. You can look, but you mustn’t look for too long.” The Detective Chinatown duo: “We solve the cases the police can’t crack, find the stolen goods the police can’t locate, and catch the real criminals the police can’t apprehend.”
