The Crime Puzzle Solver
He was once the sharpest blade in the police force, until a string of murders drove him to bury himself away with his own hands.
Three years ago, the “Mirror” killer vanished without a trace. The genius profiler Lu Chen suffered a breakdown and left the force, forgotten in a remote corner of the world.
Three years later, a murder at a concert hall on a rainy night dragged him back into the abyss.
Beside the victim, the killer left a taunting code: “ECHO,” pointing straight to Lu Chen’s deeply buried past.
He can “see” fragments of emotion left on physical evidence and piece together what the killer looks like.
The gift that made him a top investigator is now driving him to the brink of a mental collapse.
When the System [Puzzle] quietly activates, he has no choice but to return to the BAU, reclaim his identity, and face once more the mystery that tore him apart.
As the investigation deepens, a conspiracy spanning years slowly takes shape, piece by piece.
An experimental subject designated “E-7,” an abandoned “Red Maple Sanatorium,” Professor Qin Yuan, a psychologist who has always watched him from the shadows… and a voice that echoes coldly in his mind.
He thinks he is hunting the “Mirror,” never realizing that he is stepping into the mirror himself.
Lu Chen must recover all his shattered memories and piece together his whole self.
Because before a true crime puzzle solver can piece together the killer, he must first piece together himself.
