   When an art teacher is forced to double as a consultant, every unsolved case that baffles the police becomes a "typical case study" in his classroom. [Highlights] · 🏫 Contrasting Characters: A gentle and refined gardener in front of students, a shrewd and witty "devil consultant" at the police station. This stark contrast creates dramatic tension and intrigue. · 🔍 Episodic Cases: The story consists of multiple independent cases, moving at a rapid pace. Each case is like a high-energy episode of a TV drama, starting with bizarre phenomena and ultimately unraveling them with solid scientific logic, making the unraveling process extremely satisfying. · ❤️ Heartwarming Core: Beneath the cold scientific surface, the story's core is a steadfast commitment to the light and warmth of humanity. The teacher teaches not only knowledge, but also how to use reason to protect kindness. [Recommended Audience] ✅ Hardcore mystery fans who enjoy shows like *Forensic Qin Ming* and *Psychological Crime* ✅ Fans of shows like *Breaking Bad* that rely on "scientific" methods ✅ Readers tired of traditional detective stories and looking for a change ✅ Anyone who believes "knowledge is power"
