The Mind-Reading Detective Solves Strange Cases

When Lin Mo first heard a dead person’s heartbeat, he realized that this city’s nights were far noisier than he had imagined.

A newcomer at the police station, he seemed invisible, yet used a “coincidence” to prise open a crack in the Wang Hai case.

Beneath the library’s stillness, undercurrents swirled, and among countless voices, he caught the pulse of the truth. But his special ability was no universal key. Every time he read a mind, he pushed his sanity to its limits.
