Reborn in 1999: Solving a Cold Case from the Start, Shocking the Entire Bureau

This is the kind of crime-solving novel I want to read. There are no awkward mission conflicts, no so-called ex-girlfriends, no brainless villains, just pure crime-solving. Isn't the point of crime-solving novels to read the process of solving cases? Just like the forensic doctor on Qidian, a technician is a technician; they do their job. I'm already pleasantly surprised by the quality of Tomato's work. I'll leave a follow-up review. It's too late tonight, time for bed.

I've only read up to chapter 216 so far, and here are my initial thoughts on the issues: 1. The protagonist is reborn in 1999, and while he has solved many major cases since then, the timeline remains stuck in 1999 up to chapter 216. 2. The protagonist's junior apprentice killed the person who shot their master, and the protagonist takes all the blame to protect him.

Author, you write so well! I stayed up all night reading it in one go these past two days, why are there so few comments? Reading this book felt like stepping back into old-fashioned crime novels, where the protagonist has no system or superpowers, relying solely on his wisdom and experience to solve case after case—I really loved it.

It's truly well-written. Aside from highlighting the protagonist for the sake of the plot, the ensemble cast is excellent. The novel's most profound power lies not in presenting the spectacle of evil, but in gazing upon the ordinary figures who still try to stand firm amidst the vortex of crime; not in glorifying absolute victory, but in recording every small act of resistance—"knowing it's…

It's quite good. Although there are a few minor flaws, you can tell the author put effort into it. I like protagonists who grow and develop. Also, could you include more smaller cases instead of always making them huge ones? Interweaving them would be more interesting. This book is useless once you see expert witnesses committing perjury.

This is a great book; it's hard to find good crime fiction like this one. The pacing is fast, like a TV series from over a decade ago where each case was solved in a few episodes. The clues are clear, without any exaggerated or rushed elements. The protagonist is very capable and has a stable personality, relying on fingerprint analysis for his technical skills.

How come it only has a 7.3 Rating? I think it's a very good novel, with a great storyline and the author's exploration and concern for humanity while solving the case... Five stars! I hope the author continues to improve! ദ്ദിᵔ.˛.ᵔ₎✧

This book has a simple, unpretentious feel. Specializing in one area is definitely an advantage. When you hear the part about Mount Huang, Qiangzi and his master are like old generals with flags planted all over their heads, but they both end up in trouble.

The writing is indeed excellent, from the cases themselves to the details. There's no overpowered protagonist who gets humiliated and questioned, nor are there any inexplicably introduced female police officers or forensic doctors – these are all pluses, providing the kind of content that people who want to read crime-solving stories truly want.

True crime fiction writers don't include unnecessary details or filler words; their plots are very engaging. The evaluation was just finished and it's already ruined. They've started doing it all again, and another bunch of messy stuff is coming.
