Years later, he has become a well-known expert in criminal investigation reasoning. However, when investigating a series of new and confusing cases, he accidentally discovered that there are secret connections between these cases. As the investigation continues to deepen, Chu Minsheng forms a multi-faceted investigation team with psychologist Lin Zhihao, technology genius Song Jinyu, police elite Cheng Jing, and sensitive reporter Lu Sheng. Behind each case is a bigger mystery - a mysterious person "X" who manipulates information through high-tech and social psychological experiments and is suspected of having precognitive abilities. He seems to be playing a big game of chess. Cases include secret room murders, disappearance of virtual identities, crimes in dreams, group memory confusion, the fusion of reality and virtuality, etc. Each volume has a major mystery as the core, gradually uncovering the conspiracy behind "X".
