    The first book is my favorite. It's simple yet intricate—just so good! It's purely crime-solving, no romance, cleverly conceived, with a psychologist and a detective working together. One is the light, the other the sky, facing the truth and striking at the darkness. The second book features two skilled detectives who develop feelings for each other while solving cases. There's romance, but neither is the aloof, domineering type; both are very popular and capable. The third book has fantasy elements. The protagonist, Di Xiaoye, is a descendant of Di Renjie and possesses the Di family's secret techniques—a bit far-fetched, but the cases are solved brilliantly. On its own, it's a very good book; the smaller cases are all exciting. There is a romance element, a bit angsty (about the female lead and her fiancé) and a bit sweet (about the female lead and her current boyfriend). If you can't accept the female lead falling in love with someone else after her fiancé's death, you shouldn't read it. Although I didn't accept it at first either, her fiancé and her current boyfriend actually have a very good relationship, and her fiancé actually knows about it.

    Reader note

    Rating: Five stars. This story has a lot of foreshadowing and isn't finished yet, so I don't know if he's a transmigrator or a second personality. Anyway, sometimes the original owner of the body will commit murder, and the protagonist will investigate the truth, only to find out he himself committed the murders. To cover it up, he has to do many things to help the original owner, often arousing suspicion from the police. Sometimes, even if the original owner didn't kill the person, but someone else was involved, he would help the police solve the case. Eventually, unable to bear the fact that his second personality is a murderer, he blames everything on his father. His father, also aware of his second personality, fakes his death to clear his name. That's the gist of it for now. There are many more individual stories, such as when his father's apprentice provokes him, and the protagonist uses certain people to kill his father's apprentice without personally intervening, etc. These events all advance the main plot, and I really enjoy them.

    I recommend this classic mystery novel. It doesn't feature any special abilities; it relies purely on logical reasoning to solve one case after another (the Baiyin serial murder case, the identity theft case, the educated youth returning home case, and the lottery murder case). The reasoning is sound, it's mind-bending, and worth reading carefully.
