    When the male lead first met the female lead, he had absolutely no interest in her or even paid her any attention. However, through prolonged contact, he gradually fell in love with her. The cases are also excellent, with a romantic subplot interwoven into the crime-solving, making it perfect for those who enjoy crime-solving as the main focus and romance as a secondary element. [Thumbs up]

    Reader note

    A tightly structured, classic detective novel, the story follows the intelligent police captain Xu Changsheng who solves case after case using only logical reasoning, without relying on any special abilities (such as the Baiyin serial murders, the impersonation case, the educated youth returning home case, the old reservoir case, the university poisoning case, the lottery case, and the operating room mystery). The reasoning is sound and the novel is worth reading carefully.
