This Case Needs You to Explain Yourself, Too

After Wu Liang meets Ke Yinan, he discovers that every case he gets seems to require a consultation with this science-above-all else expert on the “supernatural principles” behind it.

Ke Yinan: Hmm?

Wu Liang: Uh, I need you to explain this case too.

Three years ago, Wu Liang, the legendary young star of the provincial bureau's major crimes unit, refused to accept the widely touted “mysterious disappearance theory.” He kept investigating several sealed missing-person cases and was banished to a small town called Mule. The scenery was lovely, but the place was remote.

As if to mock him, they also stuck him in a newly established department called the “Anomalous Phenomena Investigation Unit.”

And so the legend fell silent.

Three years later, after a brutal murder, a kitten-like new team member arrived in the seemingly nonexistent Anomalous Phenomena Investigation Unit in town, bringing a “psychic” case classified as an “anomalous phenomenon.”

The legend no longer blazes with brilliance, but the sickle cutting through the darkness has never stopped sharpening its keen edge.

A psychic who can draw a suspect's portrait as accurately as a photograph in under twenty-four hours; the miracle of flesh and bone gouged out one day growing back exactly as they were the next; a supernatural hand that controls people's actions and deaths in their dreams...

Are there really ghosts in this world, or does evil rise in people's hearts, making them worse than ghosts?

Modern alternate universe, urban crime investigation, an unscrupulous officer paired with an elegant professor. Supernatural or scientific, their job is to pursue the truth behind every case.
