The Cold-Faced County Magistrate Suspects My Identity Every Day

[Soul Transmigration] + [Mystery and Wild Speculation] + [Detective Reasoning]

Lu Xiao, a modern-day office drone, opens his eyes at the scene of a caught-in-the-act affair and discovers he's become Lu Xiao, a male constable in ancient times!

Three headless bodies lie neatly arranged before him. His subordinate looks close to tears: “Chief Lu, if we don't catch the killer in three days, we'll all end up in jail!”

He'd just escaped the grind of the capitalists, and now the county magistrate is threatening him? Lu Xiao cracks his knuckles. “Then we fight back!”

But who could have guessed that the new county magistrate is cold, impartial, and backed by powerful connections? He drags Lu Xiao over to the bodies. “Examine them.”

Lu Xiao: “I don't know how!”

County Magistrate: “Yes, you do.”

Lu Xiao: “I...” Before he can finish, he's struck on the back of the head.

Even more absurdly, the perfume he smelled while catching the lovers in the act keeps drifting around the crime scene!

Did that woman transmigrate too?

The perfume is like a noose, drawing him closer to the truth while leading him toward a way home.

What will it cost to return home? The life of the cold-faced county magistrate, or his own?
