    The first book features a male protagonist who is a top international detective who transmigrates into a lowly criminal investigation team. He initially intends to live a quiet life, but a series of bizarre and unsolved cases force him to reveal his abilities. After his breakthrough, he solves numerous cases, astonishing everyone. A beautiful forensic doctor in the team confesses her feelings to him, claiming that her analysis of evidence shows she likes him, and asks if he will "confess." The second book features a male protagonist who transmigrates to a parallel world. After graduating from police academy, he becomes a trainee officer at a police station. Before officially starting his job, he goes on a blind date, mistakenly sits at the wrong table, and accidentally arrests a wanted criminal. His outstanding performance afterwards leads him to catch a pickpocket while other trainees familiarize themselves with regulations, directly apprehend the main culprit while assisting in a case, and help the anti-pickpocketing team meet its annual quota, earning him the attention of the criminal investigation captain. His policewoman mother feels her daughter is unworthy of the excellent protagonist, leaving the policewoman speechless. The third book features a male protagonist forced by his mother to go on a blind date, sitting at the wrong table, and encountering a trainee policewoman who also mistakes him for someone else. Unaware of each other's identities, the two engage in a lively conversation. The male protagonist is a top-notch crime simulation expert who offers to teach the policewoman how to solve cases. He believes that so-called perfect crimes are full of loopholes and hopes that the murderer won't disappoint him too much.
