    /Suspenseful and Thrilling Novel/ Title: After Being Fired from the Big Four, I Sent a Billionaire to Prison by Auditing Accounts. Have you ever wondered where the money went when people swindled your parents' retirement savings? This book tells you the answer. The protagonist, Chen Yan, a former Big Four auditor, was framed and fired for refusing to sign a false report, resulting in an industry-wide blacklist. Three years later, a late-night phone call brings him back to the battlefield—in Futian, Shenzhen, a cross-border e-commerce boss "committed suicide," yet his export figures surged by 300%. He uncovered a financial transaction that the police couldn't trace in just twenty minutes. This isn't a crime novel; it's about using an auditor's "data eye" to see through all financial lies. At 520,000 words, the protagonist's career is fully developed, there's no romance involved, and the trio (auditor + female police officer + intern assistant) form a pure camaraderie. Every three chapters feature a small thrill, and each volume houses a major case—cross-border money laundering, scams targeting the elderly, the cryptocurrency black market, multi-billion dollar supply chain fraud, influencer tax evasion, venture capital scams, and murders committed through trusts in wealthy families… You think you're reading a novel, but you're actually learning about fraud prevention.

    I can hear the last thoughts of the dead. In the case of the woman's body on the riverbank, her last words were, "He said he'd take me to see the stars." When I repeated those words in the interrogation room, the killer's hands began to tremble. When the suspect in the serial murder case was caught, I heard him cry out in his heart, "There's still one 'hand' that hasn't been caught." Further investigation revealed that former detective Zhao Hong sneered, "I was just the one handing over the knife." I found an anonymous tip-off in the archives about a family annihilation case from ten years ago—directly pointing to the current deputy director of the public security bureau. He walked up to me, smiling, and said, "Newbie? I heard you're pretty capable." But I heard him thinking: "This girl has traced me back to me… I have to get rid of her."

    The female lead in the crime drama was incredibly cool and efficient at solving cases; I found it quite enjoyable. However, the female lead isn't entirely innocent; she's a forensic assistant. The second book is also about forensic medicine. There isn't much romance.
