Duan Feng is desperate to prove himself and earn a permanent position.
While searching for criminals,
he runs into his ex-girlfriend, who vanished two years ago and has now come right to his doorstep.
“Duan Feng, you haven't done so well these past two years, have you? You're just a low-ranking assistant officer.”
“No wonder you'll never amount to anything.”
“Don't let me see you again.”
“Besides, someone as low-class as you will never get near the circles we upper-class people move in.”
Instead of getting angry, Duan Feng is delighted. With the System's help, he discovers that his ex-girlfriend is part of a honey-trap gang and a murderer wanted for crimes across several provinces.
What better chance to earn merit?
From then on, with the System's help, Duan Feng solves cases as if aided by a divine hand.
He makes one round on patrol and arrests a major theft ring.
He casually fishes by the river and cracks a murder-and-body-dumping case.
Police Chief: Where's Duan Feng? I want to meet him in person.
Forensic Expert: He's the most impressive person I've ever met. I want to be his apprentice.
Task Force: You solved a ten-year-old cold case with just one look?
Not bad, the logic is clear.
It's pretty good, a short and exquisite novel. It would be even better if it were a bit longer, but the ending felt a bit rushed.
Combining crime-solving with supernatural abilities, and possessing a unique way of thinking.
