    In the first book, the male protagonist acquires a system where every criminal who appears before him has a giant text bubble above their head, displaying the time and place of their crime. The police jokingly call him the "Monitoring Hero," a "missionary hero" (a term used to describe someone who provides valuable information to others). In the second book, the protagonist is bound to a "Life-or-Death Crime-Solving System," where solving cases extends his lifespan. As criminals are apprehended, everyone discovers that the case is solved by Officer Liu Yu. Just who is he? The entire internet declares him a "Person Who Moved Us All Year." When they see the person lying in the ICU, the entire internet instantly bursts into tears! Both books have no female lead.
