He never turns back into a human later on.
Criminal police officer Lin Chen dies in the line of duty and wakes up as a Chinese rural dog, commonly known as a mutt.
Just as he accepts reality, a criminal investigation System explodes into his mind: an extraordinary sense of smell, the ability to see through clues, the ability to understand human speech, and a beginner’s gift package to protect him.
A murder occurs in the village, and everyone says it was an accident. He drags out a cup of cyanide-laced water and a woman’s hair, leading an old police officer to overturn the initial conclusion and catch the real killer.
From then on, the mutt powers his way through one case after another. Decade-old cold cases, serial killers, and cross-province human trafficking rings: cases the police can’t solve, he cracks in three minutes.
He never turns human, there’s no abuse, and there are no punishments. Just a satisfying crime-solving story.
His name is A Chen. A Chinese rural dog who strikes terror into the hearts of criminals.
