   Yes, I highly recommend these two books. One is *The Frontline of Crime Investigation*, which explains forensic autopsies, evidence examination, and other crime-solving methods, and the characters are also very well-developed. The second book, *The Truth Under the Scalpel*, is a sequel to the first, with more refined writing and a more exciting and professional plot.

    ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡The following are all excellent reads, you'll regret missing them!!! The first two books feature a police captain and a psychologist teaming up to solve cases, with no romance, full of positive energy, excellent writing, and a grand scope. Read the second book first; the first is a sequel to *The Truth About Murder*, so I didn't get the order right, but reading them separately doesn't matter much. The third book features a team solving cases, very realistic. The Qin Ming forensic series needs no introduction; every book is a masterpiece, with vivid characters, professional knowledge, and a wealth of learning opportunities. *Forensic Chase* is primarily from the female protagonist's perspective, with a male lead, but virtually no romantic descriptions, though there are subtle undercurrents throughout. *The Game That Must Be Broken* features various story types, excellent writing, and a captivating plot. *The Crime Hunter: The Punisher* features two male leads, with deep foreshadowing; a police captain and a detective team up to solve cases, and again, there's virtually no romance. Zi Jinchen's high-IQ series is truly amazing; you won't expect the ending until you see the very end. The male protagonist in "Solving Cases with His Life: All the Criminals on the Internet Have Gone Mad" has a system, and I think he's a time traveler.

    I highly recommend this book. The plot is suspenseful and mind-bending, full of twists and turns, with a tightly woven web of mysteries and intrigues, making it incredibly addictive. Although it involves infinite time travel, each rebirth brings new plot threads. The protagonist, Zhang Haoran, is also a fascinating character—witty and slightly cunning. The supporting characters and antagonists are all intelligent, constantly engaging in a battle of wits, with the protagonist sometimes only able to win through information asymmetry. The novel employs a mystery-driven narrative style, becoming increasingly engaging as the story unfolds, frequently connecting with earlier plots. The brilliance lies in the fact that each story is interconnected, intricately linked, with foreshadowing and cleverly constructed plot points constantly being filled and resolved. Many details go unnoticed until later, when they become clear, creating a truly exhilarating reading experience. The protagonist, Zhang Haoran, is incredibly funny, often resolving events with intellectual prowess. The cleverly conceived plot allows the reader to grow with each experience, making him a truly relatable and immersive character. It's a very comfortable read, requiring careful attention to avoid missing clues and foreshadowing. The novel has a very tight pace, with no dragging at all and a fast pace. Many later plot points will show clues from earlier ones. There are no independent subplots; multiple lines run in parallel, with subtle foreshadowing.
