Lin Mo, deputy captain of a criminal investigation squad, died in a car crash while pursuing a fugitive. His soul traveled to a parallel world in 2026, where he became a rookie police officer just starting out.
His father, once a teacher who died of illness, was now the deputy director of the municipal public security bureau. The map of the city he knew had been quietly rewritten, and crime had taken on a more elusive guise.
From mediating neighborhood disputes to finding fingerprints at a home-invasion scene; from the mystery of an apparently suicidal fall to bloodstains hidden in a cold case.
Drawing on the criminal investigation instincts he had honed in his previous life, Lin Mo starts at the most basic level, working at a local police station in a world where the rules are subtly different. Step by step, he uncovers the undercurrents churning beneath the calm surface of everyday life.
The story is layered and logically clear. The only small problem is that there are too many repeated names. I can't tell them apart without the surname.
