Elite criminal investigation captain gong x slow-witted shou who only cares about work

Psychology consultant Shen Tingyun had just solved a series of murders when he was killed in revenge by the family of the murderer. When he woke up again, he found that he had transmigrated into a washed-up, barely known celebrity who had been spotted near the murder scene.

Shen Tingyun looked at the two cats beside him, chattering away in human language.

The scene was so surreal that he hesitantly asked, "You two were just talking, right...?"

"Meow meow meow, yeah, yeah! We were saying someone died over there..."

The two stray cats turned their heads in unison, their faces filled with shock.

"How can you understand us?"

"Meow meow meow! Somebody save us! This human knows sorcery!"

Half an hour later, Shen Tingyun slipped and fell into the victim's pool of blood. He locked eyes with Lu Li, deputy captain of the criminal investigation squad at Nanchao Precinct, who had hurried over after receiving an emergency call.

Shen Tingyun waved his blood-covered hands, looking innocent and pitiful. "Officer, would you believe me if I said it was an accident?"

Lu Li's gaze was icy. He gave a sharp wave of his hand. "Take him back to the station!"

Shen Tingyun was going to appear on a live-streamed mystery-solving show. The guests included a popular star who had won fans with his high IQ and impressive academic credentials, and a rising actress who had also come from a poor family and worked her way through school to get into the country's top film academy...

Shen Tingyun: ...

Was this some kind of trap set specifically for him?

When the livestream began, Shen Tingyun's personal channel got the lowest traffic. The other guests' fans mocked him for his poor numbers, but soon people noticed that every one of Shen Tingyun's deductions made perfect sense, and he was right almost every time.

Fans of the other guests cried foul, demanding that everything be made public and transparent. They then viciously accused Shen Tingyun online of getting special treatment and bribing the producers. Everyone waited for Shen Tingyun to be attacked by the whole internet again. But they waited and waited, and what finally arrived was an official announcement that Shen Tingyun had been appointed by Haidu City's Nanchao Precinct.

The torrents of online abuse and attacks were deleted. The accounts that had posted malicious comments were not only banned, they also received lawsuits from Nanchao Precinct.

"Regarding the false statements circulating online about Shen Tingyun, criminal investigation consultant at our precinct, we have filed lawsuits and sent legal notices. Please appear in court as scheduled."

Even the deputy captain of Nanchao Precinct's criminal investigation squad publicly stood up for him. During a bold interview with a paparazzo, he said bluntly, "I've never met anyone smarter than Comrade Shen Tingyun. If he's considered unintelligent, then the rest of the entertainment industry..." The captain smiled and said nothing, but everyone in the entertainment industry felt personally insulted.

Before long, Shen Tingyun was no longer the low-IQ pretty face who had been mocked relentlessly in the entertainment industry. In his place was a legendary consultant in law enforcement, a new kind of talent who appeared in news reports year after year, and Officer Shen, who had studied on his own, taken the national college entrance exam, become the top scorer, and entered the country's best police academy.

He became a bridge between humans and animals, seeking justice for the wrongfully dead.
