The city bureau received a report. Xia Ke, frantic with worry, pushed open the door to the serious crimes unit chief's office.
The serious crimes unit had been operating for decades, and its original elite members had already retired.
But crime continued to breed and spread.
"Sis!" Xia Ke rushed into the office. This was his first time receiving a murder report since joining the serious crimes unit.
Lu Zhiyao barely lifted her eyelids.
Xia Ke's heart skipped a beat. They were at the police station!
He swallowed and hurriedly said, "Chief, we just got a call reporting a murder!"
"I arranged to go fishing early this morning. I didn't catch any fish, but I did reel in a tattered shoe. When I looked inside, there was a severed foot!"
Judging by the informant's state, he probably wouldn't go fishing again for the rest of his life.
"I killed him."
The suspect suddenly broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.
At the trial, the victim's family member unexpectedly stood at the defense table.
Don't panic, sweetheart. I'll take you to see the pond.
Bury you in the river--
"Beneath these snow-white blossoms lies a bloody crime."
Dawn is near, and the night lies still.
I am not only a police officer, but also a forensic pathologist. I swear to use everything I have learned to defend the dignity of the dead.

[Reading Guide]
1. A hard-core crime investigation plot, with very little romance. Childhood friends, a profiler x a lawyer.
2. Modern alternate setting, plenty of original worldbuilding, four female leads, slow-paced, not a wish-fulfillment story. Subscribe with care. Though each case is self-contained, there is an overarching plot.
3. The main members of the city bureau featured in the story all passed the civil service exam to become police officers, so they have law enforcement authority.
4. Due to the subject matter, please try not to spoil the story.
