1.📖📖The people below were listening with bated breath, when suddenly someone screamed. "Ah!" The next moment, flames burst into the sky on the river, and huge water surged upwards. Flames shot straight into the sky and burned rapidly on the sea surface. Then, the violent roar of explosions reached everyone's ears. Along with the violent ripples on the water surface, piercing buzzing sounds came layer by layer. "Boom!" Hongqiao exploded. The raging fire ignited on the sea almost turned everyone's frightened faces red. Amidst the tremors of the explosion's aftermath, no one heard the pale-faced Li Laosan's murmur. "What's hanging above... Is a person..." 2.📖📖"Si Meiren" is one of the best places for fireworks in Pingkangfang. The false mother in the building was born in a Jiaofang, and her dancing skills were the best in the capital. The dancer she trained herself was named Ye Zhuzhu, and she became famous in Chang'an after her six-yao dance. A few nights ago, around midnight, a gangster who was running rampant in Dongshi broke into Simeiren and asked to see Ye Zhuzhu by name. The fake mother explained several times and told her that Ye Zhuzhu was not in the building, but the man just didn't believe it and insisted on waiting for her in Ye Zhuzhu's room. The fake mother had no choice but to send him upstairs, and was afraid that he would become impatient and cause trouble, so she first sent the man wine, and then asked someone to send him tea. But when the boy pushed the door open, he found that the man had a hairpin pierced through his throat and died in the room. There were dozens of benefactors in the huge Simei Ren, but no one saw the murderer.

A suspenseful detective story + a reunion + two strong characters + a sweet pet HE + a father-son relationship + a cool martial arts story. The only male disciple of the outer sect who is least valued in the sect, Ye Fuyao, who has poor martial arts skills and a lack of brains, suddenly received a cool male lead script that fell from the sky. He suddenly became the precious son of the idol he admired the most since he was a child, and successfully achieved a life of success. My mother, Ye Zhaomian, appears to be a cruel and ruthless devil; in fact, she is a gentle, kind-hearted and soft-hearted god. To an enemy: crush his bones and raise ashes but slaughter his whole family; to a friend: give her your heart and soul. His biological father Fang Yichen's main job: washing clothes, cooking, coaxing his wife and raising their son; his side job: being a martial arts leader. When Ye Fuyao was rebellious: "Fang Yichen, please take care of me! I just love being a prostitute on the street!" When Ye Fuyao was acting coquettishly: "Daddy hugs me, daddy loves me the most, right?" Ye Fuyao's life: a manly father, a powerful mother, and a heartless him. Ye Fuyao proudly puts her hands on her hips: How do you impress your idol? First, you have to become his son! A family of three worked together to investigate the case, and there was constant laughter.

The following three books are recommended. 1. It mainly tells the story of Shi Shilun, a crime geek who solved a series of cases such as the family extermination case and the theft of the treasury, and finally solved the conspiracy that had been carefully planned for many years to assassinate Kangxi. The case is bizarre, logical and interesting. 2. Short crime-solving novels. The process of Qi Xiaotang, the censor who patrolled the city, solved a murder case. The story is short and concise, the reasoning is reasonable, and the truly kind and capable protagonist is impressive.

Reader note
It's an old saying, it has a strong sense of immersion, and the suspense part is great! Supernatural + suspenseful case-solving mainly focuses on the heroine who was a surgical nurse in her previous life and was hit by a hearse. She was reborn and traveled to ancient times. Because of her psychic constitution, she is good at channeling spirits, summoning spirits, and exorcisms. She can use psychic techniques to witness the entire murder process of the murderer. The male protagonist is a minister of Dali Temple. He fell in love with the female protagonist at first sight, and then arranged for the female protagonist to work by his side. The two fell in love while solving crimes, and the male protagonist doted on the female protagonist very much. As soon as the heroine communicates with the soul, her body will be damaged by yin energy, and she will be extremely lacking in yang energy. It happens that the male protagonist has a very yang constitution, so the heroine will take yang from him to replenish yin. As for the method, please figure it out by yourself. Later, the male protagonist refused to have anything to do with the female protagonist due to family reasons, and the female protagonist ran away, leaving a small crematorium for chasing his wife! The whole book is about solving crimes and falling in love, and the CP is super sweet. It also includes the use of modern techniques for autopsy, as well as some elements such as Five Elements Bagua, Yin and Yang Feng Shui, etc. The author's writing style is delicate and humorous. If you like this kind of subject, it will be a good investment. It consists of several unit stories, the first one is "The Murder Case of an Ancient Mansion", the second one is "The Case of Meat-flavored Shaobing Pancakes", the third one is "The Case of Expelling Corpses on a Rainy Night", and the fourth one is "The Case of Thousand Bones".
