The First Powerful Minister of Great You, Starting with Solving Cases

Shen Ci transmigrated and became the only son of Shen the Butcher, the most ruthless torturer in the Court of Judicial Review of the Great You Dynasty. Born frail and sickly, he was a walking medicine jar whom everyone considered a disgrace to the Shen family. From the start, his father had tortured a loyal official’s descendant until he confessed, framing him as the culprit in a “family massacre” case. The man was about to be executed. Everyone believed the case was closed, but after glancing at the dossier, Shen Ci sneered. “It’s riddled with holes.”

“A person who is insecure, timid, and obsessively clean would never use such a brutal, bloody method. The real killer is arrogant and cruel, and enjoys ritual. He must have left some kind of ‘trophy’ at the scene.”

To everyone’s shock, Shen Ci used just a few lines of psychological profiling to identify the real murderer with pinpoint accuracy: a highly respected painter no one would ever have suspected!

From then on, the Ministry of Justice’s prison gained a “King of Hell” unlike any other jailer.

Faced with hardened assassins who refused to talk, he never resorted to torture. A few words were enough to shatter their psychological defenses. Faced with carefully planned serial murders, he didn’t visit the scene. A glance at the case file was all it took for him to sketch the killer’s “inner demon.” Faced with cunning political rivals at court, he could uncover their every scheme from a single stroke of the beard or blink.

“Don’t tell me how loyal you are. Your pupils, heartbeat, and sweat have already given you away.”

“Before me, every trick is child’s play. Because... no one understands dark souls like yours better than I do.”
