Solving Cases to Extend My Life: My Divine Detective System Sweeps Through Major Crimes

Jiang Yanzhou, a new cadet at the police academy, boards a high-speed train clutching his family’s ancestral Chi Dragon jade pendant, with files on the “Silver Case” tucked into his notebook. When an S-class fugitive takes hostages, the pendant oozes a streak of blood-red light, and the Divine Detective System projects a bronze compass onto his retina.

A bullet grazes his ear, yet Jiang Yanzhou can see that the Scorpion’s head is marked with a 98% crime score. What unsettles him even more is the faint fragrance of aloeswood from the bracelet around policewoman Su Lizheng’s neck. It is exactly like the sandalwood mist that swirled around him when the System activated.

“Special consultant to the major crimes unit. Can you use a gun?” The tip of Su Lizheng’s pen jabs at the words “Xingyi Fist heir” on his form. As the Divine Detective Radar turns the city into a crime heat map, Jiang Yanzhou discovers that every one of Su Lizheng’s operations crosses the System’s red line. Mind-reading cracks a drug lord’s accounts, Truth-Telling exposes the undercover policewoman’s double identity, and time freezes the bullet flying toward her. At last, a twenty-year organ-trafficking network begins to reveal the tip of the iceberg.

At a charity gala, Gu Mingyuan, the heir to an old family who always leaves white camellias at crime scenes, reflects Jiang Yanzhou’s face in his champagne glass. “If this bullet crippled your legs first, would Miss Su spare me a glance?”

When Jiang Yanzhou uses Truth-Telling to force out Gu Mingyuan’s final lie, the System’s alarms blare. Suddenly, he understands the hidden compartment in the painting A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains in Su Lizheng’s office. Buried in the police station’s load-bearing walls is Gu Mingyuan’s “token of love”: a ton of C4 explosives.
