[Hard-hitting criminal investigation + sci-fi across two worlds + episodic cases with a strong central plot + every insult gets answered immediately]
Lin Yan, the ace of the Provincial Department’s Major Crimes Unit, is a famously sharp-tongued, fearless woman in criminal investigation. She goes straight for people’s sore spots, never lets an insult go unanswered, and when a case gets her fired up, she’ll even take on the bosses who try to shift the blame.
An unsolvable locked-room murder: the victim was stabbed 27 times, the scene was locked from the inside with no signs of forced entry, yet the killer had ironclad proof of being 100 kilometers away. Conventional criminal investigation had hit a dead end. Pressured by public opinion, Lin Yan was suspended, only to accidentally uncover a top-secret national project: the existence of two parallel worlds.
A 1983 quantum experiment in Kunlun split reality into two worlds with a common origin. The neighboring world is on the verge of collapse and is infiltrating this one with overwhelmingly advanced frontier technology. One seemingly impossible borderline murder after another is merely a prelude to their invasion.
To uncover the truth behind her twin sister’s disappearance, Lin Yan joins forces with Lu Chen, a scientific genius who spent 20 years in prison, and Lu Xun, a tech mogul with connections on both sides of the law. Together, they form an investigative trio with no weak links. They solve bizarre sci-fi crimes with hard-nosed detective work, tear down arrogant killers, shut down every doubter, and stand their ground against invaders from the neighboring world. Every case is neatly wrapped up and packed with satisfying moments, as they gradually expose the ultimate conspiracy behind the struggle between the two worlds and defend the lives of billions in their own world!
