[Blurb] You Hongyi, captain of the criminal investigation squad, receives several cases involving "ghosts and gods" killing people. A cold smile tugs at his lips. "They're counting on ghosts and gods not being able to speak, so they can pin the murders on them? The supernatural is innocent." With forensic pathologist Tang Banxia's assistance, one murder after another, disguised as the work of "ghosts and gods" or as "legendary" events, is finally solved. Dispelling superstition and restoring the truth behind the cases. * You Hongyi, captain of Jiangcheng City's criminal investigation squad, is handsome and capable. His only problem is that he's already 28 and still has absolutely no dating experience. The officers worry about their captain's love life every day, afraid he'll somehow end up an old bachelor. But Captain You is a clueless straight man who has no idea how to be romantic, and he often manages to annoy Tang Banxia, the most beautiful forensic pathologist at the bureau. The officers are exhausted. In private, they say that even if the Earth were about to end, Captain You still wouldn't find a girlfriend. * One night, a colleague needs to confirm something with Dr. Tang and calls her at midnight. After ringing three times, the phone is answered. "Hello? What is it at this hour?" The colleague freezes at the voice. Wait, why is a man answering Dr. Tang's phone? And why does his voice sound so familiar? Before the colleague can figure it out, Tang's languid voice comes through the phone again. "You Hongyi, are you stupid? That's my phone!" "Move your paw, then give me my phone back. Thanks." You Hongyi: "Come on, answering the phone doesn't stop me from holding you." Colleague: ? Is this the sort of thing someone like me, a sixteen-year-old with a hundred-plus extra months, should be hearing? Wait, even a clueless straight man like Captain You has a girlfriend now? Is the Earth really about to end? *An aloof-on-the-outside, adorable-on-the-inside forensic pathologist X a supposedly straight criminal investigation captain who flirts shamelessly with his wife [My crime novel, "When the Long Winter Ends [Criminal Investigation]".] Lin Peiran, captain of the First Major Crimes Unit at the Nanjiao District Bureau, is loyal and capable, with an imposing presence and refined features that are not the least bit feminine. She's the backbone of the First Major Crimes Unit. When something goes wrong, she's the first to step up and take responsibility. She's the first to notice when her team members are in trouble, and when the bureau faces its toughest cases, she's the first person the leaders think of. Everyone gives her a thumbs-up when they talk about her. When Lin Peiran first meets Zhong Chenzhou, she thinks he has handsome, regular features, is gentle and refined, and has a smile that feels like a spring breeze. Standing there, he looks so good he could have stepped right out of a painting. After spending some time with him, she thinks he seems nice to everyone, but is distant to the core, as if nobody could easily get close to him. Later on ...Well, it seems like it was pretty easy for her. After they get together, Lin Peiran finds out that all that gentleness and refinement was fake! This man is the jealous type through and through! * Romain Rolland said, "There is only one heroism in the world: to see the world as it is, and to love it." Lin Peiran and Zhong Chenzhou are both that kind of person. A corpse sealed in concrete, skeletal remains, serial murders, locked-room killings, and the dark forces that have controlled the city for years... One case after another comes their way. They solve them one after another. The long winter will eventually end. And they are the ones who keep watch through the long night, waiting for dawn. * A valiant, dashing big sister ❤️ A seemingly gentle and refined man whose inner world is incredibly rich, and who is a jealous king through and through Bonus scene: Zhong Chenzhou, acting as if it's no big deal: "You were holding hands with Xu Ting today." Lin Peiran, without looking up: "Xu Ting is a woman." Zhong Chenzhou 🥺: "But you kissed Dingdang yesterday." Lin Peiran 🙄: "...That was a dog." Zhong Chenzhou 🥺: "I want one too." Lin Peiran 🙂: "Are you a dog?" Zhong Chenzhou 😊: "I can be." Lin Peiran 😑: "..." Theme: The law may be slow, but it never fails
