   I highly recommend this crime thriller! It defies all expectations from the start; a seemingly normal funeral reveals a web of inconsistencies once the coffin is opened. A fake death certificate, a crematorium that was never lit, a body sealed in a cold storage for years—each detail is meticulously linked. The forensic pathologist doesn't rely on superstition, but rather on meticulous traces at the scene to uncover the truth. The story gets increasingly explosive, with a long-standing mining accident revealing secrets from the father's past. Twists and turns abound—a must-read for anyone looking for a good read!

    Reader note

    The first book features two male protagonists; the second has no romantic pairing. It consists of episodic cases (approximately ten chapters per case) plus a main, longer case. There's no system, no cheat codes, no overpowered abilities; it's plot-driven, focusing on strong-strong teamwork in solving cases, with romance as a secondary element. It's not scary, not sensational, and doesn't rely on depicting the horrific suffering of victims to grab attention. It involves criminal investigation reasoning, trace evidence examination (blood, footprints, ballistics, handwriting analysis, etc.), Criminal psychology (criminal cartography), and forensic autopsy content.

    I couldn't stop reading all afternoon! The pacing and atmosphere of this story are superb. The intense, high-stakes interactions between Captain Yan and Forensic Doctor Jiang, every time they team up to solve a case, it's chilling. The author is incredibly imaginative with the cases, yet the logic is solid, and the plot twists are brilliantly executed. The romantic development is also natural; the way they gradually build trust amidst piles of corpses and gunfire is even more captivating than a straightforward confession!
