Strongly recommended: the complete mystery novel The Mountain God's Dinner
The romance version:
"Xie Wuzhong, online investigation prodigy, expert in offense and defense, lie detector, with [eyes as sharp as a falcon's]."
That's what the promo video said.
His capable deputy, Wen Bozhou, was also his childhood friend. They ate and lived together, inseparable from kindergarten to the Public Security Bureau. They worked in perfect sync, from criminal investigation to cybersecurity.
Until one day, Xie Wuzhong suddenly realized that his childhood friend's gaze had always seemed a little off...
The team members: "Sure, eyes as sharp as a falcon's."
Xie Wuzhong: "..." His sharp-eyed buff only activates at work.
Never mind, sweet romance was finally here!
There were plenty of perks to dating your childhood friend: every question was open-book, he was a great cook, and in bed [the following content has been manually censored].
However... Xie Dad's death remained an unresolved sore spot between them.
The change in their relationship brought not only sweetness, but also the controlling urge to "do what's best for you." Investigating meant taking risks, and protection eventually became an obstacle.
The day Wen Bozhou broke up with him, Xie Wuzhong went north to take up a temporary post, throwing himself into a new job while continuing to pursue the truth.
One day, a consultant arrived at the bureau. He was handsome and wealthy, but had a strange quirk: he liked to follow Team Leader Xie around.
The officers: "That flashy peacock stalker looks a lot like Captain Wen from the Longcheng Bureau, doesn't he?"
Xie Wuzhong's mouth twitched. "That's him."

Please be sure to read the Reader's Guide before starting.
① The entire Longcheng Police Stories series is set in a fictional location. The cases are fictional, the crime-solving methods are pseudoscientific, and the characters' views do not represent the author's position.
② A cybersecurity case anthology with a crime-solving main plot. It involves the dark web, hackers, cyberbullying, online scams, and other dark aspects of society. Not recommended for readers under 18.
③ Zero-One Cyber Law is not a real publication. It's inspired by Team Zero-One, the first-place team in the first Smart Police Cup. 01 is binary, a reference to computers, and also represents being first.
④ Wen is the top and Xie the receiver. The top is half a year younger than the receiver. They first appeared in The Perfect Catch: Investigative Science as criminal-investigation partners, then moved to cybersecurity. You don't need to read the previous work to enjoy this one.

"What should a master thief do when he falls for a beat cop?"
One year, on the day of the college entrance exams, Chi Xun was on duty and met a young kid.
From then on, he had a little shadow following him around.
The kid acted suspiciously every day, showing up at crime scenes again and again, secretly helping him solve cases and arrest people.
But whenever Chi Xun turned around, whoosh! The kid ran faster than a rabbit.
At last, one day, the kid got caught.
"What are you even doing?!"
"I-I-I... I'm trying to win you over!"
"...You're only 19!"
The kid puffed out his chest. "Yeah, I'm an adult!"
Chi Xun: "..."
"Actually, I've been paying attention to you for a long time."
"How long?"
"Quite a few years!"
"??? Didn't we just meet?"
"I've seen you before! You were on duty at the gate the day I took the college entrance exam."
Chi Xun: "?!!"
Theme: Build a strong foundation for cybersecurity.

Why can't Longfu make good products?
Based on the current clues, make a guess. Two network security companies compete for the in-vehicle system business of locally produced cars, but currently the backend of both companies is the Xu family. When an accident occurred in a remotely controlled car, trolls were contacted to spread rumors that the car owner had committed suicide to make the matter bigger. The Xu brothers and Lawyer Tang are the masterminds behind this.
The one who pretends to be crazy and acts like a clown is Tan Meiyao, but the real bad one should be the boss, the big boss. If the boss treats his employees well, can a person like Tan be on the stage and have so much power?
The boss of this company and Tan Meiyao must die miserably.
This name is a good idea, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha the male colleague is called Nantong Shi. In fact, Lin Sui can also sue Ya for infringement of portrait rights and reputation rights, and he can also sue those in the group, as well as those who have a lot of likes and retweets for personal attacks online. If you sue a few more, ask them to publicly apologize with their real names and pay legal fees. The rest doesn't matter. What they want is the feeling of satisfaction that they have lost the case and publicly apologized with their real names. After reading the news about several amateurs who were bullied by the Internet and committed suicide, I now watch social news and see injustices, and I pay attention to my words even when I criticize them. I am afraid that words can be used like a knife and become a knife to persecute innocent people.
I feel that those who spread rumors, slander, infringe on their reputation and engage in cyber violence should have simpler prosecution procedures and heavier punishments. Or sentence them to make a public apology using their real names. Why should the information of people who bully others be protected when the information about victims is all over the Internet? For example, in the case of picking up a courier in Hangzhou, the unlucky woman's information was exposed by rumormongers and she was doxxed. The two criminals, Lang, were finally sentenced, and netizens did not know their true identities. Why not announce it? It should be made public and let them experience how the victims feel when they harm others.
Those trash colleagues of Lin's should go to hell immediately. Why can't you go to the head office with such good looks? Why is your company selling looks, and you still get promoted based on prestige? Is it promotion or reproduction?
I have no impression of Jiang Mingyue's supporting role. It seems like I read it last year or the year before. I only remember that the bright moon once illuminated the colorful clouds and Jiang Mingyue's uncle was engaged in medical technology for his love of crime. There was also a female supporting character who didn't remember what she did, but she just remembered that she was dismantled into parts and installed in that terrible living medical machine. I have no impression of Wen Xie
This thing has a real prototype, which is the news from the past two years. The prototype case was in Sichuan or somewhere. I remember it was a river in the southwest. There was a barbed wire fence blocking it, and the warning sign was hung on the barbed wire. But
