Reborn as the King of Cops: Turning the Tables on the Corrupted Balance System

Li Zhan died a horrible death saving someone in his previous life. After being reborn, he binds himself to the “Scales of Justice System.” While he solves crimes, the System automatically identifies and grants him forensic skills such as “footprint tracking.” Solving cases earns him Justice Points, which he can redeem to enhance himself or his forensic skills.

But the unreliable System always lets him down at critical moments. Failing a mission brings punishment, and the punishments come in all kinds: experiencing 200% pain, hands shaking as if he had Parkinson's, losing his sense of taste, going deaf... The harshest time, the hospital issued a critical condition notice.

He thought he'd been handed a golden finger from heaven, but as he investigated a series of cases, including the disappearance of children from an urban village, he uncovered a chilling truth:

His nemesis, Chen Jiu'an, an elegant, unhinged perfect criminal, was the original Host, while he himself was the seventh-generation experimental subject;

Du Hongmei's criminal syndicate commissioned “perfect children” on the dark web and mass-produced vessels for the System;

Every case pointed to the same conclusion: the “Scales of Justice” was alive, and it was choosing puppets capable of bearing “absolute justice”;

Who was he, really? What secrets was he hiding? And what exactly was this System?

When a prompt sounded in his mind, [Recommendation: execute instructor Zheng Guoqiang], he smashed the police terminal without hesitation and declared war on the corrupted System using the most basic investigative methods: “My justice isn't for code to decide!”

(This isn't a conventional crime procedural. The male lead suffers quite a bit at the hands of the System early on.)
