First, a note: this is danmei, the writing is rough, and I always think the cases I've come up with are super simple, so please don't mind that.
Danmei in the guise of a suspense story
A first-year university student is found dead in a public bathhouse, stabbed thirteen times. His genitals have been cut off, a white rose placed beside him, and his body arranged in the shape of a cross. Is this punishment from a fanatical believer, a deranged act of love from someone who couldn't have him, or the result of a long-ago obsession?
We have no way of knowing. Everything is an illusion.
When Owen's vacation ends, he gets assigned a case and a new partner. Well, he hasn't had a partner since his last one was killed a year ago while pursuing a brutal murder case. He hopes this one lasts a little longer and doesn't die so easily.
The first time Cromwell sees Owen, his heart is already screaming that he wants him. Yes, it has to be him. He wants to kiss him, embrace him, and possess him completely. The desire surging up from deep inside makes a man who has always been calm lose control.
