   It's really a treasure in the double-strong criminal investigation novel! Yan Jiyuan, the handsome and hot-tempered criminal investigation team leader, x Jiang Yuan, the cold-faced and poisonous-tongued forensic doctor, the characters are a hit. Every case is full of rituals and metaphors. The author's application of forensic knowledge and criminal investigation logic is very solid, making people's scalp numb. The emotional line and the detective line are parallel. It is the best novel I have read recently.

The four serial murder cases in 2024 are actually inseparable from the three old cases in 1999. What kind of unknown emotional entanglement is hidden behind it? 3. The cunning murderer waited for 25 years to avenge his sweetheart, and plotted carefully. He thought it was perfect, but he made a fatal mistake. [Plot] A man stabbed a woman in front of the police and jumped into the river during the roundup. But the body recovered by the police was not that of the murderer. Immediately afterwards, new dead people appeared one after another at the entrance of the community elevator, hospital, and public security bureau, and a kidnapping incident was triggered. The task force discovered that behind this series of conspiracies were related to three old cases from 25 years ago, as well as the love, hatred and business interests of several families. The murderer was cunning and well-organized, but he made a ridiculous mistake. [Plot] The story covers criminal investigation, reasoning, suspense, business war, and a small amount of romance. There are two timelines, one is the detection of the serial cases from October to November 2024, and the other is the whole story of the old cases from 1996 to 1999.
