My name is Lu Xun, a criminal psychology intern at the police academy. On my first day on the job, a serial killer case gave me a brutal welcome.
“This isn't a copycat crime,” I told the task force, pointing at the crime-scene photos. “He has a distinctive signature.”
Criminal investigation captain Gu Mingyuan raised an eyebrow. “A brand-new intern dares to question the judgment of veteran detectives?”
Seven days later, when I accurately predicted the next victim's profile, the entire squad's expressions changed.
What they didn't know was that every night I reviewed the unsolved cases, including one connected to my family.
