Under the shadow of Xinjing City, perfect crimes are no longer a legend.
Shi Yan, 25 years old, comes from a family of detectives. He has the observation ability of a human microscope and the logical deduction ability of a computer. After returning from studying abroad, he became the youngest criminal investigation consultant of the Municipal Bureau. From the first moment he stepped into the scene, the neglected dust, misplaced accessories, and even smell residues began to "speak".
But what he faces is a group of top hunters who regard crime as an art: genius programmers who carefully design "absolute secret rooms"; fanatical believers who conduct "ritual trials" according to classical laws; lonely souls who are obsessed with tampering with memories, just to seek resonance... Every case is an extreme challenge to his deductive method.
Side by side with him is the stern and strict Senior Superintendent Jing Chi. From the initial rejection of doubts to the absolute trust of life and death, one of them is the "sharpest spear" that pierces the fog, and the other is the "toughest shield" that guards the rules. On the way to deciphering serial killer codes, chasing transnational criminal groups, and even confronting invisible black hands within the system, they became each other's indispensable halves.
When high-IQ crimes come in like a tide, Yan Yan's past resonates strangely with the city's future. How will he and Jing Chi clear away the fog and protect the justice and light that belongs to them at the end of the logic of the crime?
Logic is immortal and justice remains. This is a story about how genius grows, how trust is forged, and how legends are born.
