    🌟In the first book, the female protagonist transmigrates into a police officer and is forced by a system to solve cases, resulting in an ever-growing number of cases. The author has a wildly imaginative mind, with each case intricately linked. Those who enjoy episodic crime stories should definitely check it out! 🌟In the second book, a team leader solves cases with a group of lovable characters. His apprentice drives suspects crazy with his lame jokes, and the forensic doctor constantly clashes with the psychologist. They all get diarrhea from eating hotpot while investigating cases, and their arguments even cause a tire blowout while chasing a killer. This book is simply my source of joy!
