Synopsis

Lin Zhixia, a rookie policewoman newly assigned to the Major Crimes Unit, is sorting through old evidence from a decade ago when her fingertips accidentally brush against a long-buried knife sheath. It leads her to a secret clue that has been lurking inside the police station for ten years. Then there’s a scrap of adhesive left at a murder scene in a locked room, seven crooked characters carved into the victim’s blade, and the strange details of a suspect loudly proclaiming his innocence after being arrested. One seemingly unrelated murder after another begins to connect. Lin Lan overturns the entire team’s conclusions based on the faintest trace she finds in a shoe seam. Only when the seventh mark points to the seventh victim does the team realize they’ve been caught in a carefully laid trap within a trap since the very first case. The office lights suddenly flicker three times. On the hallway security footage, a figure in a black raincoat darts past the entrance. The mole hiding in the shadows is finally about to slip up.

Crime Investigation and Case-Solving, Episodic Stories, No One Big Case Running Through the Whole Novel!

I want cases one after another, not a single major case running through the whole story. The female lead must have no romance! No tragic backstory or psychological trauma for every protagonist, either. Just solving cases!
