[Please add these upcoming novels to your library: Sketching My Way to Solving Cases and Becoming a Police Force Gem [Criminal Investigation]; Solving Cases Through On-Screen Comments in a Period Drama [Criminal Investigation]] Novel blurb (continually polished; please support the official release) The Meng family has had a crisis. Their daughter, missing for eighteen years, has come home. But the family already has an adopted son who has taken her place. Mother: You may be back, but you’re still a girl. Your brother has already inherited the family business. You’re just a junior police officer, so don’t think you can compete with him! Adopted son: Don’t overthink it, Sis. Everything I have belongs to the Meng family, so of course it belongs to you, too. Meng Siqi studies the photos of the victim’s body in her hand, focused entirely on the case. When the Meng family keeps pestering her, she nods absently. “There are red spots on the victim’s pleura, known as Tardieu spots. They’re consistent with mechanical asphyxiation. Someone strangled her to death with their bare hands!” The Meng family: ... * Meng Siqi never imagined she had a supernatural ability. Whenever she enters a crime scene, she can sense the key clues to a murder case: The murder method, the killer’s features, their unusual habits... It’s as if the crime scene is slowly spoiling the entire case to her, like a movie! From then on, City A has a super detective, and murderers have a nightmare that follows them like a shadow. Chief: Still can’t crack the case? Go find Xiao Meng! Killer, clutching his head in despair: Enough! I confess. I’ll take my punishment. I give up! Reporter: Officer Meng, when there are so few leads in certain unsolved cases, how do you manage to find the culprit so quickly and accurately? Meng Siqi, with an earnest expression: Acting techniques from criminal psychology! The reporter and audience smile indulgently: Officer Meng is such a tease. Meng Siqi: Even if I told the truth, you might not believe me. Other people solve cases by looking for evidence and hunting down the culprit. When she investigates, the killer and the evidence are right there in plain sight. When there aren’t enough clues, she has to make up for it with her acting skills. A little bluffing, and some stupid killer is bound to fall for it. Detective Meng, smiling wryly as she rubs her forehead: Who can understand the loneliness of being invincible? The Meng family stares blankly at the TV report. I-Is it too late to win our daughter back? Meng Siqi smiles: What do you think? (The unsolved cases in this story grow from simple to complex, with the difficulty increasing exponentially. The golden finger is just icing on the cake, and the heroine’s abilities will also grow exponentially. Expect plenty of criminal profiling, investigative reasoning, and forensic details.)

Criminal investigations are grueling. On her first visit to a crime scene, Li Shumei manages to display every possible “weakness”: she vomits at the sight of a corpse, falls while chasing a suspect, and even passes out when gunshots ring out. She really does faint. An impatient veteran detective storms into the chief’s office, demanding that the department replace her. Luckily, the chief reassures Li Shumei, and she stays on. Back then, investigators had few tools and little technology, so many cases went unsolved. But what these veteran detectives never expected was that, just three days later, Li Shumei would use a single portrait to identify a vicious, elusive killer. Within a few months, Li Shumei helps the police solve several major cases and earns a reputation as an expert forensic sketch artist. At the celebration banquet, a colleague asks her: “Shumei, when did you learn to draw? This is so lifelike, it’s uncanny!” Li Shumei: “I just added a few of my own deductions to the sketch, like a criminal profile...” The truth is, Li Shumei never imagined she had a supernatural talent for forensic sketching. From a witness’s few scattered words, a blurry silhouette, the victim’s skull, or even their diary... She can piece together what the killer or victim looked like, with up to 99% accuracy!
