    "The Divination Method for Catching Murderers" [A dual strength of criminal investigation and metaphysics + episodic case + high-density plot twists] No cheat codes, no system. Su Wan, the iron-faced captain of the criminal investigation team, only believes that "physical evidence doesn't lie." With her hardcore forensic skills and criminal investigation logic, she has solved many bizarre cases, but she has stumbled on a series of ritualistic murders. There are no fingerprints, no DNA, and no witnesses at the crime scenes of the three murders. The murderer seems to have vanished into thin air, and modern criminal investigation methods have completely reached a dead end. With nowhere else to turn, she finds Lin Yi, the successor of the Plum Blossom Divination method, who is regarded as a "charlatan" by the police. This professor of folklore accurately points out the murderer's next crime location and even predicts the murderer's method by casting a divination with just three copper coins. One is obsessed with evidence, and the other believes in divine secrets. From mutual sabotage to tacit cooperation, the Six Harmonies Soul-Suppressing Array, the Seven Star Life-Borrowing Case, the Nine Palaces Soul-Locking Formation... Behind each bizarre murder case lies a shocking secret spanning nine hundred years. When the divination points to the most unexpected person, amidst irrefutable evidence and divine revelation, who will ultimately uncover the truth? [Smile]
