    If you're captivated by the chilling prose of *Ten Deadly Sins*, based on real case files, and yearn to delve into the complexities of humanity and the darker side of society behind crime, then this reading list is for you. --- 🔍 A poignant choice for social commentary: When mystery meets reality, Zi Jinchen's *The Long Night* is more than just a suspense novel; it's a sharp blade piercing the darkness of reality. Adapted from a sensational case, it tells the story of a prosecutor who dedicates ten years, even risking his life, to uncovering the shocking truth behind a long-standing cold case. Reading it, you'll feel a suffocating mix of despair and burning resentment. If the "realism" you seek is the pain of the times and the struggles of individuals, this book is not to be missed. Zi Jinchen's *High IQ Crime* (4 volumes) While you marvel at the design of the perfect crime, Zi Jinchen has already woven a giant web with meticulous logic. There are no flashes of inspiration here, only calculated and counter-calculations at every step. It fulfills all your fantasies of a "high-IQ showdown," while simultaneously grounded in real social rules and the interplay of human nature, as cold and ruthless as a scalpel. --- 🧠 Psychological Profiling and Crime Labyrinth: Remy's *Psychological Crime* Series. If *Ten Deadly Sins* presents the "form" of crimes, then *Psychological Crime* delves deep into their "soul." Author Remy is a professor of criminal psychology, and his cases are full of professional profiling and psychological clashes. You will follow Fang Mu into the black hole of a serial killer's mind, experiencing the extreme tension of tracking and empathy. Suitable for readers who prefer criminal psychology analysis and enjoy intellectual puzzle-solving. --- 🧪 Professionalism and Criminal Investigation Details: Qin Ming's *Forensic Qin Ming* Series. Based on firsthand records from real forensic doctors. Every case begins on the cold autopsy table; every clue is hidden in hair, bones, and minute wounds. There is no supernatural embellishment, only rigorous scientific evidence. If you want to see the most naked and professional crime-solving process through the microscope of a forensic scientist, this is the perfect entry point. Nine Drops of Water's *Corpse Investigation Department* series is a hardcore record of criminal investigation by technical police. From bloodstain patterns and footprint identification to trace evidence, the charm of technical crime-solving is vividly displayed. It tells you that real criminal investigation is more about tedious comparisons and firm logic; the realism lies in these overlooked details. --- ⚖️ Human Nature's Game and Dark Epic Zhou Haohui's *Death Notice* series: Can "justice" be carried out lynched? When the perfect avenger "Eumenides" issues a death notice, the entire city is plunged into a questioning of rules and emotions. The story has a grand scope, with plot twists and turns, and deeply explores the darker side of human nature. The "realism" it pursues is the choices that everyone might make in extreme situations. --- If you have already read the above works, you can also try: *A Short Account of Murders Over Nineteen Years* (Na Duo): A long poisoning murder set against a school backdrop, the narrative tricks and oppressive atmosphere are superb. * *Winter's Blade* (adapted from the novel *The Long Season*): A decades-long manhunt that explores a more profound theme than simply solving a crime—how people coexist with memories and trauma. Also included is a book on strange and unsettling rules 💕 --- Reading these books is like touching the sharp edges of truth in the dead of night—cold, sharp, yet sobering. They may not bring you "pleasure," but they will certainly make you think. May you turn the pages and confront reality.
