Synopsis

The novel has just started, so the rating will rise later! Read with confidence.

A logical genius intern × a cool, restrained, fiercely protective police captain. One-on-one romance, both pure and powerful, set in a fictional world with original elements.

Behind a string of bizarre murders, an unseen hand seems to be stirring up the evil buried deep in people's hearts.

Jiang Mian was only going downstairs to pick up a food delivery when she stumbled upon human remains in the trash can below. One little bit of gossip brought her and Song Yan together amid the vast sea of people, thanks to their "ape-fated" connection.

Once this "ape-fated" bond arrives, nothing can stop it. But why did he take her back to the police station for questioning as a murder suspect the first time they met?

"Bring her in for questioning. I'll interrogate her myself."

Jiang Mian: "..."

Good grief, boss, is that any way to talk?

She hasn't done a thing, and you've already made her out to be a killer?

She finally cleared her name with the help of the Super Sleuth System, but when you're unlucky, even a drink of water can make you choke.

She starts an internship at the Linjiang City Police Department, only to find that Song Yan is still her direct superior!

Until one day, Jiang Mian asks him with a smile, "Captain Song, why do I always get flustered and my heart races whenever we're together?"

"Because I like you."

"Since when?"

"At first sight."

The most unfathomable thing in this world has never been a crime scene, but the complexity of the human heart.

The Saprophytic Fungus Case: fungal vines coil around and spread over withered bones, eating away at every polished facade.

The Masked Clown Case: masks conceal grotesque faces, making it impossible to tell truth from lies, good from evil.

The Soul-Sealing Statue Case: stone statues imprison broken bodies and seal away years of bone-deep pain.

Bone-shadow lanterns, creatures with pig bodies and human heads, puppets returning to life...

There are no ghosts or supernatural forces in this world. Every bizarre and terrifying murder is born from the obsessions, pain, and malice lurking in people's hearts.

Can Crime Investigation Stories Start Differently for Once?

In nine out of ten crime investigation novels, the opening has the female lead being told to file a report and leave the team. It’s so off-putting. They don’t even consider her abilities; they see a woman and immediately reject her. How shallow do you have to be to become a team captain? Why not think about why she was assigned to your team? What’s there to like about a man like that?

I love it! Finally, it's not the traditional trope of looking down on the female lead only to be proven wrong later. While the female lead has a special ability, she doesn't rely solely on it to solve cases; she also demonstrates her own independent thinking. The female lead isn't overly exaggerated either; she's a sweet and gentle wife—it's wonderful! It's a very normal novel with a high level of realism. I can't wait for it to become a long novel! 😘

★The female lead is clear-headed, rational, possesses exceptional intelligence, and is knowledgeable. &Her martial arts foundation is solid, and she doesn't rely on the system (she rarely uses the system's auxiliary abilities, and the system hasn't directly pointed to the culprit). ... Blah blah blah, anyway, I really like her character design.

Wow, this book is amazing! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 Okay, now I'll give you the most direct, truthful, straightforward, heart-wrenching, hardcore, decisive, concise, punctual, insightful, merciless, incisive, to-the-point, direct, unpretentious, unsentimental, and frank answer: I couldn't hold back. This book is very good, the plot is logical, and the couple is great. The characters are well-developed. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend everyone check out this novel! It's incredibly good! The author's case titles are very clear, the characters are well-developed, the plot is interesting and well-organized, and it feels like the author is a detective. Every case completely challenges my worldview, vividly portraying the evil of human nature.

Overall, it's a very good watch. Each case is very interesting, and it really challenged my values many times. The female lead, in particular, doesn't rely on the system and almost always relies on her own observation and reasoning, which is a big plus. 👍🏻 However, the character Xu He...

I absolutely loved it; it's the only crime novel I've ever followed without giving up. Every case has a deeper meaning, and you'll find many cases overlapping with reality. The author's writing is excellent, and each case flows seamlessly, constantly pushing the plot forward—it was satisfying.

It's a good read, the logic is quite clear, the cases are all well-written, the female lead has excellent problem-solving skills and a clear mind. Overall, it's a very good read. I really want to know who the man in black who sent the note was! Author, please update more and more!

It's so good! The case moves so fast, both the male and female leads are amazing, and the female lead doesn't rely on the male lead at all. The foreshadowing is also very well done, so it doesn't leave the reader completely clueless. 😘 Please update soon!

I've been following the updates since chapters 50 and 60. The cases are logically sound, the characters are vivid and well-developed, and behind each case lies a hidden darkness and twisted humanity. I really like the female lead's personality—cheerful, lively, resilient, and brave.
