Chasing the Killer in Bizarre Cases [Criminal Investigation]

Next up: The Emperor's Entire Harem Makes Their Debut [Book Transmigration] and I'm Here to Send You Off [Infinite]

The Underworld's Dark Pool is filled with spirits who died unjustly in the mortal realm and cannot move on.

As long as their killer remains at large, the spirits cannot rest. When their resentment builds up, they will escape and attack people indiscriminately.

In 2022, the Underworld and the Mortal World's Paranormal Affairs Bureau reached an agreement and jointly established the Dark Pool Special Operations Unit to assist the police with their cases.

Everyone knows that Captain Ji Tingshan of the Lia'an City Criminal Investigation Brigade is cold and arrogant, with extraordinary investigative methods. Not only criminals fear him, but his team members do, too.

Until one day, a woman showed up beside Captain Ji's desk.

Her eyes were bright and alluring, her red lips moist, and every movement carried a lazy sort of fierceness. "Ji Tingshan? From now on, you're working under me, Jiang Zhi."

The whole team drew in a sharp breath. She's that bold?!

Who could have guessed Captain Ji would nod? "Team Leader Jiang, I look forward to working with you."

The whole team: ???

*

Ji Tingshan had never shown fear while carrying out missions amid a hail of bullets.

The year a bullet passed by his ear, amid the deafening roar, he suffered the only failure of his career.

A soft body took the one bullet meant to kill him.

He was the only survivor.

*

In his pursuit of his wife, Ji Tingshan's cold, stern demeanor disappeared.

Captain Ji at first: Jiang and I aren't close. I don't know her. There's no way.

Captain Ji later: I never said that. I don't know. You are not allowed to come between me and my wife's relationship. ...All right, that's enough. Honey, put the knife down, okay?

"The Dark Pool judges the crimes committed by vengeful spirits. The police deal with the crimes of the living. We seek only the truth behind each case. No criminal can escape the punishment of justice, whether human or spirit."

My other ongoing novel, Raising a Dragon Made Me Famous, is open for advance follows~

Shi Que had been afraid of water since she was little, and even disliked rainy days. After making her debut at eighteen and becoming an overnight sensation, she refused to take any role that involved going into water. Later, without good opportunities, her career went from a brilliant start to a slow decline. Once she was past her prime, people forgot about her.

The first time Shi Que met He Qingjian, a clear sky suddenly turned into a downpour. She had lost an opportunity by refusing to get into the water, and was standing alone on the street with no one to turn to when he walked up to her and said he was a deity from the water.

Shi Que: "...?"

Later

Shi Que got a chance to turn her career around. A famous director's new film was casting its lead actress, and the first requirement was being a strong swimmer. While the entire entertainment industry mocked her, certain she would lose the opportunity, a clip of her underwater was released. Her graceful movements made her look like a carefree mermaid, and she didn't even need to come up for air for three minutes.

Reporter: How did you learn to swim so well?

Shi Que: A deity taught me.

The reporter stared blankly. "Uh... Do you have any tips for holding your breath underwater for three minutes?"

Shi Que: Keep a dragon by your side.

Reporter: ?

#Shocking! Has This Washed-Up Actress Lost Her Mind?#

When He Qingjian was a young dragon, he was struck down by a heavenly lightning bolt. A little green sparrow, on the verge of becoming a spirit, saved him, but lost all her cultivation and fell into the cycle of reincarnation. He waited over a thousand years before finding that bedraggled little bird on a stormy night.

Just as he had imagined a thousand years ago

She was, as expected, stunning in human form. He liked her very much.

He Qingjian: Come on, let me touch your dragon tail. After that, you're mine.

Reading Guide:

One-on-one romance, very sweet with no angst. A naturally water-shy, easily flustered actress x an arrogant, supposedly aloof dragon prince, a second-generation deity.
