    I would like to recommend my criminal investigation mystery novel "Thousands of Thoughts and One Mistake". [Plot] In Xiazhou City, a man stabbed a woman in front of the police station in full view and jumped into the river during the roundup. But the body recovered by the police was not that of the murderer. Immediately afterwards, new dead people appeared one after another at the entrance of the community elevator, hospital, and public security bureau, and a kidnapping incident was triggered. The task force discovered that behind this series of conspiracies was related to an old case from 25 years ago, as well as the love, hatred and business interests of several families. The murderer was cunning and well-organized, but he made a fatal mistake. The story covers criminal investigation, reasoning, suspense, business war, and romance. The book is expected to be completed in January 2025. At present, Chapter 33 of the first volume has been completed, and the big BOSS has been announced. The follow-up trailer is also announced in the "Author has something to say" at the end of the first volume. It will be updated daily. Please read with confidence and never give up.

    A criminal investigation novel that you must not miss. Highly recommended is a suspenseful mystery based on a single case. Although the title of the book is mediocre, the character of the male protagonist is particularly lovable. He is a trainee forensic scientist who is super cute and invincible. No one dislikes it once he has read it! Moreover, the author's writing style is very good, not superficial at all, and the description of criminal investigation techniques is very professional [Bookshelf plus one][Bookshelf plus one][Bookshelf plus one]

    Regarding the cases of "Jinghua Crime", the novel is set in Nanzhou City and revolves around new police officer Chu Ran investigating the unsolved case left behind by his father. The case is related to a dark criminal network "Jinghua" that uses Tang poetry as a password. It contains the following elements: 1. Code decryption: The case uses Tang poetry metaphors, word puzzles and other classical literary forms to design criminal clues, and the protagonist needs to crack the code. 2. Multi-thread interweaving: The main case is intertwined with the background stories of the three male characters (Ning Xing, Jiang Qi, Xu Ziqiu), forming a dual tension of emotion and crime. 3. Social metaphor: The villain organization "Mirror Flower" symbolizes the illusion of human desires, and the case may reflect real issues such as power and family. Due to the lack of specific case descriptions, it is recommended to read the original work or follow the author.
