White Night Detective Agency

A high-IQ detective, solving cases, criminal investigation

Night falls like thick ink, spilling without restraint over the bustling city known as Jincheng. Neon lights flicker, outlining the city's indulgent nightlife. Traffic streams along the streets, where clamor and prosperity intertwine into a nocturne that never ends. Yet atop an aging office building in the heart of the city lies a quiet space utterly at odds with the lively din: the White Night Detective Agency.

Inside, the lighting is soft and warm. Solid wood bookshelves line the walls, packed with books on criminal investigation, studies in criminal psychology, and stacks of case files bound in worn brown paper. These files bear witness to the agency's owner's many years as a detective. Each one holds a story unknown to the world, strange or chilling, or simply heartbreaking.

Lin Yu, the heart and soul of the White Night Detective Agency, is a figure of legend in criminal investigation. Tall and somewhat slender, he has a sharply defined face and deep-set eyes that gleam like cold stars in the night sky, their sharpness and intelligence impossible to fathom. At that moment, he sits at an old desk, his long fingers gently turning the pages of the latest criminology report. Every so often, his brow furrows slightly, as if he is pondering something.

The old wall clock ticks steadily. Its sound is especially clear in the silent room. Suddenly, a sharp, urgent ring of the telephone shatters the quiet.
