   The first book, Shuang Nan, was a childhood sweetheart between the two. The male protagonist was retaliated for because his father was a policeman. The male protagonist was kidnapped, and Zhu Ma was implicated. The male protagonist chose to be a soldier in order to escape. Zhu Ma went abroad to escape. Eight years later, Zhu Ma returned to China and became a forensic doctor. The male protagonist retired from the army and returned to his hometown to become a criminal investigation captain. The second book, Shuang Nan, is very interesting. The third, fourth, and fifth books have a link between Shuang Nan (the third book is the second part of the fifth book), and they are all written by the same author. They all tell the story of the ill-fated genius forensic doctor and the criminal investigation captain with a strong background. The sixth book is about the unrequited genius forensic doctor and the broken criminal investigation deputy captain. The seventh book is about love in the past and present life. Two people who have just confirmed their relationship in the previous life. In the most loving time, they were separated forever because of a mission. Maybe it was the relationship between the two that moved God and gave them a chance to start over. They are all very good crime novels.

    It is a high-intelligence, high-scoring crime-solving reasoning masterpiece. There is no heroine, but there is a slight amount of emotional drama. Don't worry, the heroine will never appear in the process of solving the case. Don't worry about eating. The logic of solving the case is rigorous and the case is unitized. Most of the cases in the three books can be prototyped in reality. The characters involved in some cases and the process of solving the case can only be said that the author is very brave to write!!! Although there is some aura of the protagonist, the police portraits are also very well portrayed.
