   After dying and transmigrating to a parallel world, Lin Mo chose to become a policeman again. However, on his first day of training, he unexpectedly awakened the "Police God System." Because of his extensive criminal investigation experience from his previous life, Lin Mo refused the investigative skills offered by the system. Unexpectedly, the system's arrogant side immediately crumbled, and it began to perform bizarre and unpredictable actions. "Congratulations, Master, on your first day of signing in! You've been given the psychology of a psychopathic killer! Are you still worried about not being psychopathic enough when you kill? The system has perfectly solved that for you!" "Congratulations, Master, on your second day of signing in! You've been given the essence of Hannibal Lecter's way of being human! Are you still worried about not being elegant and composed enough? The system has solved that problem for you!" "Congratulations, Master, on your third day of signing in..." And so, the originally righteous Lin Mo strayed further and further into the realm of abnormal psychology.

   The first book, already finished. It's a fake system story. The protagonist goes undercover and returns to join the police force, solving cases and finding love. The pacing is tight, with foreshadowing. He completes his final undercover mission in the later stages. I feel this novel would be a hit if adapted into a TV series. It has everything: undercover work, romance, human nature, and real-life retribution. The protagonist is also very well-developed. The second book, currently reading, is about a forensic doctor with a criminal gene who pursues justice, light, and truth. The cases are tightly linked, one after another. The characters, their hearts, and human nature are portrayed very realistically. I feel it could be adapted into a TV series. The third book features frequent cases, a tight pace, and a protagonist with a system (not invincible). It's very good, similar to a detective story, but the cases are bizarre yet have a beginning and an end. There's no supernatural element; everything revolves around human nature and the human heart. It's excellent and exciting. The fourth book, highly recommended, is great. It has no system. The protagonist's cheat ability is experiencing 100,000 perfect crimes before joining the police force. He solves cases from the criminal's psychological perspective, showing us that there is no perfect crime.

   🌟This book is hilarious! All the cases are solved in bizarre ways by the male lead. For example: 🉑He goes to buy lottery tickets, encounters a pickpocket, and, not winning, yells, causing the pickpocket to stay and watch, only to be caught. 🉑He plans to buy rock candy to make candied hawthorns and sets up a stall, buys online, and the first thing he asks is, "Is it pure?", Which leads to the raid on a drug den. 🉑He goes to the city's criminal investigation team to collect money, wears a mask, gets on the wrong bus, and ends up robbing a bank, handling AKs and bombs like crazy, becoming incredibly experienced. In short, the male lead is a veritable magnet for crime.🌟🌟This crime-solving novel without a romantic pairing is pure fantasy! The male lead simulates the perfect crime ten thousand times, learning countless skills. Instead, he turned to law enforcement, solving case after case, his reputation growing ever stronger. He worked on a criminal organization whose members were all leaders of a black market supply chain, each a murderer, using letters or names like "Butcher" as code names. He and several other capable individuals formed a special task force to combat the criminals. Tragically, one of his teammates was killed in the process. The protagonist then transformed himself into the criminal, single-handedly and ruthlessly cracking down on the criminals, shocking everyone. A foreign president commented: "It's like seeing a top-tier criminal; he is 'the most perfect criminal and the most outstanding detective.'"

    [A proud, protective, and loyal wolf-dog × A cold, aloof, and sickly beauty; strong and mutually doting, a broken mirror mended] Five years ago, Yan Guici, the most renowned genius scholar at C University, left without a word. Five years later, he returns as a top-tier specially appointed consultant, still aloof and aloof, his intelligence still overwhelming everyone, but he's unfortunately afflicted with a "sickly beauty" constitution, prone to fainting from a gust of wind and suffering from stomach aches at any moment. And coincidentally, his partner is none other than his old acquaintance whom he cruelly abandoned years ago—now the decisive and hot-tempered captain, He Wenxiao. Upon their first meeting, Captain He is sarcastic and cynical, but Yan Guici ignores him completely. Everyone in the department assumes these two are irreconcilable enemies. Until one day, after working overtime—everyone witnessed the usually volatile Captain He, who had vowed to be "business as usual," wrap a heavy coat around Consultant Yan's thin shoulders with a dark expression, holding a cup of freshly made warm honey water, and coaxing him in a low voice, "Darling, can you take your stomach medicine before looking at the documents?" What was supposed to be a misunderstanding turned into intimate care. What was supposed to be impartial turned into endless favoritism and protection. Yan Guici thought he would have to navigate the mysteries alone, but he never expected that the seemingly wild and untamed man had actually been waiting for him for five years, barging back into his world without explanation, facing all the storms together. This was a long-awaited reunion of equals, and a warm and healing display of absolute favoritism. No matter how many times it's been, as long as it's you, my heart will flutter again.

    The first book features two male protagonists, while the second has no romantic pairing. Both are episodic cases (approximately ten chapters per case), focusing primarily on crime-solving; romance is secondary. The plot is fast-paced. There is no system or cheat-like abilities. The second book includes a cleaner character and involves criminal investigation, forensic examination (ballistics, blood analysis, ballistic trajectories, footprint analysis, etc.), Criminal psychology (criminal psychological mapping, etc.), And forensic autopsies.
