Crime-solving novels or time-travel historical novels are not the kind that are just for fun and mindlessly changing history. It makes me sick.

Reader note
"The Case of the Sinful Buddha: The Female Jinyi Guard Kills the Buddha When She Encounters a Case, and Kills a Demon When She Encounters a Demon", the story begins with a murder case in the "Jinxiu Pavilion", the top embroidery workshop in the capital. The skilled embroiderer Su Axiu was found murdered in a very strange way in the workshop. Her blood was used to complete an unfinished embroidery called "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix". Silk threads were intertwined with blood vessels, presenting a terrifying scene of "living threads sewing souls". Shen Qingchuan, a member of the female Jin Yiwei family, was ordered to investigate. With his profound knowledge of medicine and poison, he discovered that the deceased was accurately bled to death while he was conscious. The murderer used special drugs to keep his mind clear so as to feel the extreme pain. The method of committing the crime was both cruel and sophisticated with a sense of ritual. The heroine of the novel, Shen Qingchuan, is a member of hundreds of royal families and is proficient in medicine and poison. The male protagonist Gu Changyuan, Qian Hu, the female protagonist's court supporter. The male protagonist Li Wuhuan is the master of Wangyou Pavilion and the core of the intelligence network. The three team up to solve a series of mysterious cases (mysteries, strange cases, forbidden cases, special cases, trick cases...), And the clues all point to the extremist organization "Sin Buddha" - under the banner of "purifying the world", they use secret techniques to create murderous cases and eliminate the so-called "filth". Sin Buddha targets powerful officials in the court, and the conspiracy to shake the foundation of the country is about to come out. All unit cases in this novel are independent chapters, but they form a closed loop due to the infiltration of "Sinful Buddha". The hidden identities and secrets behind Shen Qingchuan, Gu Changyuan, and Li Wuhuan will be revealed as the cases are continuously solved, and the "Sinful Buddha"'s conspiracy against the government and the opposition has also surfaced one by one.

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.

In the tenth year of Emperor Xianzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty, Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng was assassinated, and Wang Xiaolu, who suddenly traveled through time, became a murderer for no apparent reason. After escaping from prison, he went on the run, but was involved in a series of bizarre and mysterious cases. Broken corpses in ditches, ghosts in brothels, murderous poetry gatherings, bloody birthday banquets, the end of incest, corpses of straw men, man-eating tiger skins, fox fairy caves, bloody Maitreya... Behind these seemingly unrelated strange things, there seems to be an invisible hand pulling the strings. All forces in the court, feudal towns, and rivers and lakes are on the scene. Can Wang Xiaolu break out of the fog and uncover the truth?

The unit story of the female channel is not finished yet, but the main plot does not affect the unit plot, and the unit plot promotes the development of the main plot. Currently, I personally like the last two cases the best. They are short and concise. Here is the synopsis: In order to save her family, Qiao Lanzhi resolutely stepped into Dali Temple and met Fang Tingyu, the son of the eldest princess, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and Fang Yili, the free and uninhibited little prince. Although the rivers and lakes and the court seem to be two different worlds, they hide countless clues. Qiao Lanzhi, who is new to officialdom, and this group of partners with different personalities - the Machiavellian Fang Tingyu, the cynical Fang Yili, the taciturn Zuo, the princess who loves the world, the wise and hidden young man of Dali Temple, the secretive prince, and the strange people in the world - jointly uncovered the truth of each bizarre case. Qiao Lanzhi worked step by step, searching for the truth in the intertwining of officialdom and Jianghu, but found that the road down the mountain was far more thorny and thrilling than imagined! 1. The ghost market hides the murderer: Why are there so many gangsters assassinating the prince? 2. Rakshasa (case closed): The newlyweds died tragically late at night. Is it really a ghost? 3. Long Live Qianqiu (case closed): Is there really a monster with a human face and an animal body in the world? 4. Xihui Canzhuang (case closed): What secrets does this most prosperous theater in the capital hide? Who designed it to imprison us? Who killed them? 5. Xiong Shanjun (Case closed): The mountain god became angry and killed countless people, leaving the people in panic and unable to leave their homes. (Note: Although the background of this story is set in the Ming Dynasty, the plot characters and government system are purely fictional and have nothing to do with real history.) [But the author has a habit of taking a break every time he finishes writing a unit]
