Five years later, he returns as a top-tier specially appointed consultant, still aloof and aloof, his intelligence still overwhelming everyone, but he's unfortunately afflicted with a "sickly beauty" constitution, prone to fainting from a gust of wind and suffering from stomach aches at any moment. And coincidentally, his partner is none other than his old acquaintance whom he cruelly abandoned years ago—now the decisive and hot-tempered captain, He Wenxiao. Upon their first meeting, Captain He is sarcastic and cynical, but Yan Guici ignores him completely. Everyone in the department assumes these two are irreconcilable enemies. Until one day, after working overtime—everyone witnessed the usually volatile Captain He, who had vowed to "handle matters strictly by the book," wrap a heavy coat around Consultant Yan's thin shoulders with a dark expression, holding a cup of freshly made warm honey water, and coaxing him in a low voice: "Darling, can you take your stomach medicine before looking at the documents?" What was supposed to be a misunderstanding turned into intimate care. What was supposed to be impartial turned into endless favoritism and protection. Yan Guici thought he would have to navigate the mysteries alone, but unexpectedly, that seemingly wild and untamed man had actually been waiting for him for five years, barging back into his world without explanation, facing all the storms together. This was a long-awaited reunion of equals, and also a warm and healing display of absolute favoritism. No matter how many times, as long as it's you, my heart will flutter again.

    The Mysterious Shadow of the Desolate Warehouse: When the Family of Origin Becomes an Incubator of Evil—A Recommendation for Zan Feng's *The Corpse Whisperer: The Mysterious Cases of Hong Kong, Part Two: The Mysterious Shadow of the Desolate Warehouse* If you thought *The Red-Clad Floating Corpse Case* was Zan Feng's masterpiece, then you must read *The Mysterious Shadow of the Desolate Warehouse*. This case is darker, more painful, and more suffocating. In a rain-soaked, abandoned warehouse, a male corpse lies face up on the ground, his hands folded in front of his abdomen. The scene is so clean it looks like it has been repeatedly wiped. There are ligature marks on his neck; the cause of death is mechanical asphyxiation. A long, light brown hair is under his fingernail—he seems to have been quietly "slept" to death. This is not an accident, but a meticulously planned murder. I. A triple twist, deceiving everyone. Zan Feng demonstrates astonishing narrative control. Initially, all the evidence points to the creditor, Zhao Haifeng—matching shoe prints, presence, and motive. Forensic expert Su Wanqing uses "the mechanical characteristics of shoe prints" to overturn the charges: the shoe prints at the scene are "small feet wearing big shoes," Zhao Haifeng has been framed. The investigation shifted to the deceased Jiang Jiaxing's online love interest, Lin Wanxing, who was swindled out of 170,000 yuan by Jiang Jiaxing. She confessed—she strangled him with a hairband, believing it was an accidental killing. The physical evidence, confession, and motive all matched. The case was solved. But the forensic doctor discovered a fatal flaw: two layers of lividity on the deceased's neck. The first layer was non-fatal pressure caused by Lin Wanxing; the second layer was fatal pressure inflicted by someone else using professional techniques. The real killer was Xia Mo, who was cowardly throughout, even afraid to kill insects. And Xia Mo harbored another personality: Aji. She hated, killed, and framed for Xia Mo, accurately predicting Lin Wanxing's confession and exploiting the police's blind spot. This was a meticulously planned psychological murder. II. Family of Origin: Every Sinner is a Victim. "The Shadow of the Deserted Warehouse" makes it difficult to hate any of the murderers. Jiang Jiaxing is a conman and a scumbag icon, yet he was beaten by his gambling father at age 6, had his ribs broken at age 12, and his mother left when he was 15—the evil is real, and the tragedy is real. Lin Wanxing was drained dry by her patriarchal parents; 170,000 yuan was her only hope for escape. After being scammed, she broke down and killed someone, crying, "I just want my money back." Xia Mo's parents "don't care," and she didn't even dare mention being dumped because "it was the first time someone cared about me." Zan Feng didn't excuse anyone; Chen Meiqi icon said, "The suffering of one's family of origin is never an excuse to hurt others." But trauma can explain evil, but it cannot be entirely attributed to an individual. This clarity between understanding and judgment is a hallmark of a mature writer. III. Dual Personality: A Precise Psychological Thriller Xia Mo/Aji is a professional portrayal based on dissociative identity disorder. Long-term emotional neglect caused Xia Mo to split into Aji, who "can bear everything for her." In the interrogation room, the two personalities switched rapidly: one second they were timidly crying, "I didn't kill him," the next they were sneering, "I mixed the drug, I tampered with the surveillance footage." The same face, two souls, sending chills down your spine. Zanfeng didn't let DID become a tool for acquittal—the law determined that Aji had full criminal responsibility at the time of the crime. IV. Forensic Hardcore and Recommendation Reasons: The "mechanical characteristics" of the shoe print cleared Zhao Haifeng's name; the transdermal absorption drug explained the blind spot of routine blood tests; the delayed livor mortis overturned the confession. Professional details without embellishment or padding. If you enjoy mind-bending plot twists, are concerned with trauma from your family of origin, are obsessed with psychological thrillers, or simply want a good story to read all night—this book is for you. Zanfeng's *Corpse Whisper* series progresses with each case. *The Red-Clothed Floating Corpse Case* shows you the entanglement of beauty and crime; *The Shadow of the Deserted Warehouse* shows you the boundary between trauma and evil.
