From the Start, I Was a Crime-Solving Tool. Then I Quit, and He Went Crazy

[Female-Oriented Mystery] [Modern Criminal Investigation] [The Pursuit After Losing Her] [A Powerful, Well-Matched Pair] [Clear-Eyed and Clear-Headed]

On Lan Qi's first day on the job, she overturned Shen Canglan's initial conclusion. He was widely regarded as the province's best criminal investigator.

Everyone thought the gentle, fragile-looking new forensic pathologist would be kicked off the team by the cold-blooded captain. Little did they know that Shen Canglan saw her as his one and only "shortcut to solving cases" and "bait."

He schemed at every turn, concealing classified dangers while forcing her to work around the clock and risk her life to draw out the culprit.

She gave everything she had, time and again, seeing him only as a colleague she admired.

It wasn't until the old case became a deadly trap and she fell in flames, covered in blood, clutching the crucial evidence before collapsing in front of the monitor, that Shen Canglan finally lost control completely.

But when she woke, she made no accusations. She only said coldly, "Captain Shen, I'm not your evidence. You have no right to keep me under your care."

She left the special investigation team, kept things strictly professional, and cut herself off completely.

When the cold-blooded ace was willing to relinquish command, submit to a disciplinary investigation, and plead humbly outside the autopsy room with red-rimmed eyes, top forensic pathologist Lan Qi only gripped her scalpel tighter.

"If you want to solve the case, follow procedure. And you? Your belated affection is colder than a corpse."
