Criminal Investigation and Case Solving, Unit Drama, Not the Kind Where a Major Case Runs Through the Whole Story!
One case after another, not one big case that runs through the whole story. The heroine has no cp! Don't just solve the case if the protagonist must have a sad past or psychological shadow or something like that!
In the Underworld, Others Use Knives While I Use Guns. I Don't Follow the Rules and Must Kill Decisively.

None




















































































"The Informant" is an urban crime novel that is quite ambitious in terms of subject selection and exploration of human nature. Its most prominent advantage is that it has successfully constructed the core setting of "Informant", which is full of inner tension, and closely interweaves the danger of the undercover mission with the inner moral torment of the protagonist Chen Dong. The plot is compact and the emotional conflict is intense. The focus on the theme of "soul redemption" also gives the story a certain ideological depth. However, the work also suffers from some of the trade-offs common to genre fiction. The protagonist's transformation trajectory from "thief" to "influenced informant" to "engaged in emotional entanglement", part of the plot relies on strong dramatic coincidences to promote, which weakens the sense of realism to a certain extent. The creation of some villains (such as Xiong San) is slightly functional, and their motivations mainly serve to create conflicts. But overall, under the guise of "cops and gangsters confrontation", the novel effectively explores the survival dilemma and moral choices of marginalized people, and achieves a good balance between readability and serious thinking. It is a highly completed social suspense work.
The protagonist of the story was mixed up in society when he was very young. He was forced to start working as a pickpocket. After being caught many times, he became a police informant. With the protection of his boss's sister many times, he finally gained trust and participated in the core business. How does a thief choose to be reborn in the gap between good and evil and steal his soul? At the most critical moment, the right decision will still be made.
Focusing on the gray area of "informant", it combines criminal investigation, anti-crime, undercover and human struggle, and it has its own strong dramatic tension. The transformation of the protagonist Chen Dong from a thief to an informant is a passive choice amidst the pressure of survival and moral dilemma. This "involuntary" background makes the character more realistic and tragic. The description of the rules of the rivers and lakes, prison ecology, and the entanglement of interests between black and white makes it easy for readers to immerse themselves in it.
A young thief was caught by the police and was inspired to volunteer to become an informant. He broke into the underworld group and eventually assisted the police in solving a major case and brought all the key criminals to justice. While the little thief was working as an undercover agent, he was spotted by the sister of the boss of the Black Society and received help from her many times. However, he finally defeated his emotions with reason...
This work constructs a picture of survival in a gray area full of tension. The protagonist Chen Dong, as a triple identity superposition of "thief-informant-undercover", has completed the transformation from stealing property to "stealing soul" in the gap between black and white. Through the triple contradictions of gangster erotic entanglements, internal police games, and undercover identity anxiety, the work accurately pierces the mental tearing of marginalized people on the boundary between good and evil.
A thief was accidentally caught. After being educated by the police uncle, he decided to change his mind and become an undercover agent. After contacting his former gangster friends, he gradually got involved in a gangster group and was spotted by the gangster boss's sister. But he finally resisted this emotional temptation, assisted the police in solving the case, and caught the relevant criminals.
