Synopsis

Li Guan has a secret: everyone looks like an old person to him.

People say it’s hard to paint skin and harder still to capture the bones beneath. For him, it’s the other way around.

The pretty campus belle looks like an old woman, and a strapping young man looks like an old man, making it remarkably easy for him to draw bones and muscles.

He thought he would spend his life this way, different from others but otherwise uneventful. Then a young, handsome female classmate showed up, and with her came even more trouble.

On a sketching trip, they wander into a farmhouse crawling with murderous intent. The mind games of a game of Werewolf become a real-life hunt for a killer. The hand that once drew strands of hair casually sketches the face of a serial murderer.

Police captain: “Weren’t you supposed to be preparing for art school? How did you end up a master detective?”

Li Guan: “Officer, I really am just an artist. It was a coincidence, honestly.”

Crime Investigation and Case-Solving, Episodic Stories, No One Big Case Running Through the Whole Novel!

I want cases one after another, not a single major case running through the whole story. The female lead must have no romance! No tragic backstory or psychological trauma for every protagonist, either. Just solving cases!

Looking for Mystery Novels. I Love Crime Solving and Deduction, Especially Brain Teasers

As the title says, I just finished reading a tech geek mystery novel and would love recommendations for similar books. Other highly rated suspense novels are welcome too. I have pretty broad tastes.
