I Can See Death Tags

My name is Chen Xu. I’m a low-level clerk at the police station, and my biggest secret is that I can see criminal labels above people’s heads. From [Petty Theft] to [Perfect Murder], no sin escapes my sight. I’ve always been careful to hide my ability, until one day in the staff cafeteria, I saw these blood-red words above the head of a widely respected professor: [Serial Dismemberment Case: Next Target], with 71 hours on the countdown. Even more terrifying, at least five people in the cafeteria had the label [Accomplice] over their heads. I trembled as I tried to call for help, but an anonymous warning came to my phone: “Run. They can see you too.” Now, before the countdown ends, I have to use this ability, which can’t serve as evidence, to snatch a life from the hunters hiding in the shadows... And my own life is on the line.
