   Xu Yang, the worst student at the police academy, reported for duty with a transfer order to the local police station, only to be detained on the spot by the head of the criminal investigation division. While the entire department mocked his "nepotism" admission, he cracked the key to a cold case in three minutes and solved three murder cases in a week. It wasn't until the classified files were declassified that everyone realized—his last-place ranking was actually the highest level of protection. Years later, when a reporter asked if he regretted it, he looked at the lights of countless homes and smiled lightly: "This police uniform is the answer."

    Reader note

    The first book, adapted from real cases, employs a "small-unit case-solving" model, with each case standing alone but subtly foreshadowing events. The protagonists, detective Fang Yi and policewoman Su Yao, use hardcore investigative techniques such as crime scene investigation and suspect psychological analysis to uncover the ugliness of human nature behind real cases like "adultery murder" and "jealousy-driven crime." The book's descriptions of physical evidence identification (such as bloodstain splatter pattern analysis) and interrogation techniques (such as using contradictions to break through psychological defenses) are professional and detailed. The second book is adapted from 12 real major cases, including the "1999 Shenyang '3.8' Case" and the "2006 Wuxi murder and dismemberment case." Told from the perspective of a detective, the book interweaves original materials such as crime scene investigation records and witness testimonies, highlighting the rigor of criminal investigation work through details like "snow footprint analysis determining suspect height" and "DNA comparison overturning alibis." Despite its simple writing style, the shock value of the cases and the dedication of the detectives create a strong contrast. The third book tells the story of detective Zhang Hao's investigation into a series of violent crimes, including a dismemberment case and a school poisoning case. The book abandons supernatural elements, relying entirely on scientific methods such as forensic autopsies (e. G., Analyzing stomach contents to estimate time of death) and crime scene reconstruction (e. G., Simulating the killer's movements) to solve the cases. It also features a specially designed "case profiler" role, who uses psychological analysis to narrow down the suspect pool.
