[Criminal Investigation + Psychology + Plot-Driven + Mystery Solving]
Chen Mo is the youngest leader of the major crimes unit in the city’s criminal investigation squad. He’s not good with people, but he has a brilliant mind.
His partner, Lin Tao, is the police force’s martial arts champion with connections everywhere. For a while, he thinks Chen Mo is just a show-off.
Forensic pathologist Su Xiaonan believes only in the data and puts reason above all else, but she becomes Chen Mo’s most steadfast ally.
Chen Mo turns an old fountain pen in his hand and says softly:
“A perfect alibi often conceals the most deliberate setup.”
Quiet and taciturn, he is the “guardian of order” criminals fear most.

It's a great read! No romantic pairing, no female lead, just a series of small cases piling up, with the underlying cause of Professor Chen Mo's death. The two storylines unfold simultaneously without feeling abrupt. It mainly focuses on small cases, with each case spanning several chapters, and they're all very engaging.
