Kirigakure City is a sinful city shrouded in thick fog for an average of two hundred days a year. Here, sunshine is a luxury, truth is a rarity, and twelve "perfect crimes" spread like cobwebs in the fog.
Shen Mobai, the city's most prestigious criminal psychology consultant, has the insight to glimpse the souls of criminals from clues. He is the sharp sword of the police, the comfort to the families of the victims, and the only light in the fog. Whenever the case reaches a deadlock, he can always push open the door blocked by fog.
But if you read carefully enough, you will find that there is a mirror left in every crime scene. You will find that the twenty-eight "independent cases" form a strange resonance in the long river of time. You will also notice the genius detective who always "happens" to appear at the first scene. His alibi is as perfect as a script written in advance.
This is a sophisticated scam that lasts for five hundred chapters, with thirty core foreshadowings hidden in a narrative trap of five million words. When you applaud the detective's wisdom, when you build solid trust under the guidance of the first-person perspective, please remember: What is reflected in the mirror is never just the truth.
It's not until the last chapter, when the last sentence falls, that you will fully understand——
"Turn the book to the beginning. Now, let's take a look at the murderer's first-person perspective!"
