The premise of a bottom-of-the-class graduate from a top police academy breaks away from the typical elite tropes of crime fiction. Xu Yang stumbles into the major crimes unit, shedding any unrealistic thrills and focusing instead on the raw realism of frontline investigations.
This novel accompanies the growth of police officer Xu Yang, telling a series of stories that incorporate logic and reasoning elements of criminal investigation. The novel's strengths include: storytelling without personal bias; a well-developed and natural-looking protagonist, Xu Yang; nuanced and engaging portrayals of women; a seamless integration of legal regulations without being didactic…
Why did they go to the criminal investigation department instead of the police station? Peng Baiyu It's a crime investigation film, leaning towards realism, yet it feels unrealistic. There are many details, but many of them are insignificant. Coupled with the heavy reality and slow pace, even when written in a light touch, it's not very enjoyable. I'd give it four to four and a half stars.
It's getting better and better as I write, and I feel more at ease now. I'm looking forward to the exciting parts to come...
A very good and exciting police detective novel
Feels good, looking forward to further developments 👍👍
Very good, the plot is reasonable and the explanation is clear.
It's great, keep it up, author!
The plot is excellent, the content is realistic, and it's not a mindless story.
It's beautiful and very delicate. Highly recommended!
