Synopsis

[Dual Male Leads + Hard-Hitting Criminal Investigation + Tension on a Knife’s Edge + Two Strong Leads Saving Each Other]

Three years ago, a major serial case was solved, but the genius profiler Gu Yan was injured in the line of duty, damaging both legs. He then vanished from public view. Three years later, on a stormy night, the same “puppet on a string” method appeared in a theater, and the killer’s provocation escalated.

Criminal Investigation Squad Captain Lu Zheng charged through the rain into the shadowy old mansion. “Gu Yan, you’re the only one who can solve this case. Come back to the bureau with me.” Gu Yan sat in his wheelchair, fingers brushing a paintbrush, his gaze cool and distant. “Captain Lu, we arrested the wrong person three years ago. The real mastermind is watching us from the abyss.”

From a theater on a stormy night to a countdown crisis, from psychological battles to life-or-death showdowns. Gu Yan wielded his brush like a blade from his wheelchair, cutting through the disguises of evil; Lu Zheng put himself between every danger and Gu Yan, standing as his shield in each crisis.

“Gu Yan, don’t stare into the abyss.” “I’m not looking at the abyss, Lu Zheng. I’m looking at you.”

[Brilliant but frail profiler VS short-tempered criminal investigation captain who always has his back] He is the only medicine that can heal him, and the blade in his hand.

Can Crime Investigation Stories Start Differently for Once?

In nine out of ten crime investigation novels, the opening has the female lead being told to file a report and leave the team. It’s so off-putting. They don’t even consider her abilities; they see a woman and immediately reject her. How shallow do you have to be to become a team captain? Why not think about why she was assigned to your team? What’s there to like about a man like that?

Haha, the pacing is fast, but overall it's quite easy to understand. The plot flows smoothly, and the elements are great too. But author, did you forget something? Halfway through writing, you suddenly realized this is a dual male lead novel, so you added a hand-kissing scene? 🙂 Oh my god, this relationship is so ambiguous! I love it! As long as the characters don't fall apart later, there's still something to read. Please, author, write more about the romance! I'm begging you!

How scary! But it's so good! I really like this kind of genius protagonist, who is physically weak but is still a genius. I love this feeling!

This is so good! ヾ(*ΦωΦ)ツ I never expected to find such a wonderful book. The interwoven romance is both exciting and touching. The author's writing is superb, the plot is logically clear, and it's not too difficult to understand. Although I'm usually busy and can't read it every day, the author updates very quickly, and I'll try my best to follow the updates whenever I have time.

This is a really well-written story of two strong characters. I read all the chapters in one go; the plot is smooth and very engaging. One character has top-notch intelligence, and the other has top-notch physical abilities. 😘 They're like two little bitter gourds, beset by enemies on all sides... 😢

A very good crime drama. It avoids excessive romantic entanglements, the plot moves quickly and effectively, the supporting characters are given ample opportunity to shine, and the identity of the mastermind is very interesting. Overall, it's excellent. Minor flaws don't detract from its overall quality! I love this novel!!!

Reading about amputation almost made my head explode. It was so painful to read this far. The major plot twist happened in the middle, and the rest of the story is just so depressing and unbearable. Whether it ends well or sadly, unless there are even bigger problems later on, it's hard to reconcile. I still really like this book, but after reading through the part about amputation, I just couldn't accept it. I'll need to process this before rereading; maybe then I'll change my mind.

Here I am! It's been a while since I've reviewed a book! To be honest, this is the first crime novel I've read without skipping any chapters. Although I haven't read very far and don't know how it ends, I can confidently say I highly recommend it. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat, making it hard to skip any chapters. If you're reading this book, I suggest you stay and check it out.

It's so good! But there's a question: who exactly is S? Earlier, it was said that S was Xie's successor, a painter, with a small mole on his face, and he even appeared on a cruise ship. How did it become that S (the painter) is Xie later on?

Check it out! It's totally my style. The cases are incredibly gripping, and the two male leads aren't your typical romance. They trust and support each other, neither giving up on the other. They are each other's salvation. And I really have to praise the author for writing such compelling cases!

This is one of the better crime fiction novels I've read so far, and it's also very mind-bending. Looking forward to the next update!
