Lin Xiaoman, the only female inspector of Dali Temple, is known as "Lin Wang".
She is born with a strange problem - she can smell when others are lying. The smell of chives, rust, burnt smell, sour plum soup... What lies correspond to which smell, all rely on the nose to solve the case, and everyone in the capital is like a transparent person in front of her.
The only trouble is: this broken skill will fail when meeting the Sixth Prince Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan said ten words to her, but she couldn't smell a word of it. Either he was telling the truth, or this person was more sinister than her nose.
Zhou Yan, the sixth prince, complained that he was ill all year round and could not go to court, so he opened a painting shop in the suburbs of Beijing. His main job is painting, and his side job is watching Lin Xiaoman solve crimes. The works include the series "Beauty Leaving the Bath", all models are Lin Xiaoman, and the sales are quite expensive. Her biggest hobby is stuffing candy into her mouth, and the biggest secret is that he knows better than anyone the case that made Lin Xiaoman's father wronged three years ago.
The serial murder cases in the capital, from "laughing dead man" to "walking dry well" to "stealing shadow paintings", each one is more bizarre than the last. Lin Xiaoman smells a smell, and Zhou Yan draws a clue map; Lin Xiaoman climbs a wall, and Zhou Yan hands over a ladder; Lin Xiaoman wants to arrest someone, but Zhou Yan has hung the evidence in the art shop waiting for her.
Until the last case, faceless portraits filled the Prime Minister's Office. Zhou Yan stopped laughing and stuffed a candy into her mouth:
"I painted the painting, but your father killed the person. Your father is not dead. He has been hiding in the dark to clean up witnesses for you."
Lin Xiaoman cried with candy in his mouth. Zhou Yan squatted beside her and looked at her, then peeled off another one for himself.
"Stop crying, the candy won't be sweet anymore."
"... Then give me a few more."
Intention: The truth may be late, but the people who love you are never absent.
