Both are about technical police officers. The male protagonist, Jiang Yuan, who is reborn in 1999, is a fingerprint expert who focuses on solving cases using fingerprints.

    Highly recommended!! The first book is "Captain Feng," which I've been following since the author first started writing. It's now at 800,000 words, definitely worth buying. There's no romantic pairing, and it's one of Tomato's rare micro-ensemble works, with each character vividly portrayed!! It's hilarious! It feels like these characters are living right next to me. The plot is very tight and engaging. The second book is "Captain Cen," where every case is interestingly written! However, some cases span too long, so you might forget what you read earlier. Plus, the author's updates are incredibly slow!! The third book is "Du Dayong," written in a more old-fashioned style, probably by an older author, I guess? This one is already completed, so you can buy it without worry!!

    If you're looking for a serious, realistic crime investigation book, this one is worth a try. There are no fancy special settings; solving cases relies entirely on crime scene evidence, physical evidence comparison, and repeated verification of testimonies. Each case has a complete logical chain, without forced plot twists. The characters are all vividly portrayed, with no unnecessarily stupid supporting characters. The story is concise and doesn't feel padded; it weaves the love, hate, and entanglements of ordinary people into the cases, making it very realistic and suitable for readers who enjoy hardcore mystery.

    Of all the series, some are completed and some are ongoing. I think the best one is the seventh book; the protagonist gradually grows stronger. However, it's not primarily about crime investigation, but rather forensic medicine and trace evidence examination. Then there's the eighth book. I've finished both the seventh and eighth books and am waiting for updates. This one is also very good, though not as amazing as the seventh, but it's still a good story. In the seventh and eighth books, the protagonist's power-ups are minimal; almost everything is solved through the protagonist's own abilities. And then there's the second book. The second book might have a slightly lower rating compared to the rest of the series; I just started reading it. Don't be misled by its name. It's incredibly mind-bending, at least that's my opinion. I haven't finished it yet, but there's a very strong main storyline. The fifth and sixth books only have one flaw: the case-solving feels very disregard for procedure, especially after reading the seventh and eighth books, which have a very strong procedural feel. Reading the others feels uncomfortable because of this lack of procedure. But thankfully, I didn't finish the fourth book; it's more down-to-earth, and I thought it was pretty good. The remaining books have a more overarching feel, and they feel like a programmed process. The writing isn't as impressive as the seventh and eighth books.

    As a seasoned bookworm of one or two decades, I can say this book is truly excellent and highly recommended. The pacing is fast, with a case every one or two chapters. The author's writing is excellent, and the logic is clear. No matter what the world is like, the protagonist remains someone with a strong sense of justice who always perseveres. There's no romantic pairing; the protagonist has a close friend who is a psychologist, whom he asks to help with criminal psychological analysis at the police station during investigations. I hope the author will write a new crime thriller.

    This hidden gem by Tomato (the author) has currently published ten volumes with eighteen cases, all of which are very interesting. It has both American crime suspense style and a touch of Agatha Christie's locked-room mystery. Highly recommended!

    I really enjoyed all the cases this author wrote; the types of cases were varied and grounded in human nature, and the crime-solving process was smooth, not just relying on plot devices. The authors were quite intelligent. The only drawbacks were that some cases in the first book had overly long plot lines, involving many other cases within a single case, and the suspects' names in the third book were too distinctive.
