   Reader note

   "Criminal Chat: Hannibal Teaches Me How to Find Corpses at the Start" is absolutely brilliant! In each episodic case, the protagonist uses Hannibal Lecter's psychological analysis from group chats to find corpses. For example, the killer embeds the body in the load-bearing wall of an old building, and the deduction process breaks down the layers from structural stress to the killer's psychology, like solving a bizarre mystery! The group chat consultants each have their own unique methods, some teaching psychological profiling, others using physical evidence to deduce the truth. The protagonist undergoes "dark training," solving cases with the help of the group chat's imaginative ideas. The episodic cases also incorporate the supernatural, such as the crimson fog at the crime scene, which turns out to be a psychological suggestion from the killer. The blend of deduction and the supernatural is incredibly captivating, with each case featuring explosive plot twists. Pure crime-solving fans will be hooked!
