[My Whole Family Transmigrated and Made the Bianjing Headlines by Solving Cases (original title: The Female Detective's Bianjing Chronicles) is now available. Synopsis below.]
[Upcoming novels: The Case-Solving Genius Is Not What She Seems [The 1980s], and A Half-Demon's Guide to Running a Shop. Their synopses are at the end.]
Su Li, a modern criminal profiler, transmigrates to the 1990s and becomes a returned-from-overseas police detective who is driven out by her captain as soon as she starts the job.
With no other choice, she packs her things and promptly moves over to the Second Squad next door.
Everyone in the municipal criminal investigation unit knows the Second Squad has hardly any normal people. They are all weird in their own distinctive ways.
The First Squad sits back to watch, sure she'll be thrown out by the Second Squad. But as they wait, they realize something seems off.
"What? The Second Squad solved that serial case?"
"What? Su Li got a commendation?"
"What? The provincial department called the Second Squad in to help with a case?"
"What? What? What...?"
The First Squad can't believe it. Is this really the same Su Li who only ever thought about dating when she was on their team?
[Little scene 1] The investigation has reached a dead end, and everyone in the Second Squad looks worried. Su Li calmly stands up. "I have three points to make about this suspect..."
Everyone looks bewildered. How did she work it out step by step like that? We haven't even figured out how the victims are connected, and you've already deduced the suspect's profession, behavior, and motive?
[Little scene 2] The moon shines bright and the evening breeze is pleasant, but someone says something that ruins the lovely atmosphere.
"I'm 28, but I don't think I'm old enough for you to... show me such respect!"
"I don't think you're old..."
"Old???"
"No, let me explain..."
[Little scene 3] In the dead of night, our clever and charming beauty Su Li stands there, furious, gripping a "weapon."
She is about to make a bold threat when she freezes at the sight of the person inside the doorway...
"Su Li? What is it?"
"Uh... I just came to say hello to the neighbors."
"You came to say hello to the neighbors after one in the morning, carrying a rolling pin?"
"..."
The only certain thing in life is that life is uncertain. At first, she thought this was just an ordinary transmigration.
Content warnings:
1. Romance is limited. The focus is on the cases and solving them.
2. The female lead is highly capable, with modern investigative experience and high intelligence.
3. Entirely fictional setting, not professionally accurate. The police station and cases mix reality and fiction.
4. I'm writing this for myself, so please don't overdo the advice. If you spot a logic problem, tell me and I'll fix it. Thank you!
Synopsis for The Case-Solving Genius Is Not What She Seems [The 1980s]
"Chi Xia, you can't become a police officer."
The police academy counselor's eyes are full of regret, but Chi Xia isn't surprised.
After waking up one morning, police academy student Chi Xia finds herself the only daughter of a fallen soldier in the 1980s.
"Chi Xia, are you sure you want to join the criminal investigation squad?"
Chi Xia snaps out of her daze and nods emphatically. "I absolutely have to!"
This time, with her impeccable revolutionary credentials, she gets her wish.
In an era without surveillance cameras, where fingerprints are taken with ink pads and suspects are tracked on foot, murders, mysteries, and crimes abound. With a dire shortage of officers, the Sixth Criminal Investigation Squad is formed.
It isn't long before this group of young people, whose average age is under 25, becomes a nightmare for the other squads.
The First Squad sits down for a drink of water, and the Sixth Squad solves a case!
The Second Squad goes home for a nap, and the Sixth Squad solves another case!
The Third Squad takes a lap around the public restroom, and the Sixth Squad solves yet another case!
Chi Xia's mother often points at her and screams hysterically, "You're just like your father. There's something wrong with both of you!"
Chi Xia watches her quietly. Even though she disagrees, her expression doesn't change in the slightest.
It isn't until she transmigrates to the 1980s and Wen Xun appears that she realizes her mother might have been right.
On Wen Xun's first day at the Sixth Squad, he looks through a half-open wooden door and sees Chi Xia squatting on a chair, holding a watermelon. She takes a big bite and says, "Captain Wen? He's all an act!"
Wen Xun: ?
Chi Xia is the squad's case-solving genius, with an unusual way of thinking and an easygoing personality. But she keeps him at arm's length, perfectly embodying the words "Don't bother me if we're not close."
"Captain Wen, I'll leave the report here."
Chi Xia's gaze is distant and her tone strictly professional. She suppresses the heat in her blood, resisting the urge to tie his hands together and lock them away.
Wen Xun: Does she... seem to hate me?
Wen Xun gets used to her distance, but one late night after a case is closed, he catches a glimpse of the look she hasn't quite managed to hide. It isn't hatred that surges in her eyes.
His gentle smile freezes on his face. "Comrade Chi Xia, what exactly do you have against me?"
Or rather, what exactly do you want to do to me?

Synopsis for My Whole Family Transmigrated and Made the Bianjing Headlines by Solving Cases (original title: The Female Detective's Bianjing Chronicles)
#Shocking! A deadly night at the Rainbow Tower, a mysterious woman identifies the killer, and the Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review gets a challenger! What will he do next?#
#Breaking! A boy is chased for two miles by a wild boar, yet still shamelessly calls himself a "Beast Tamer"?#
#Trending! A mysterious woman changes her mind after seeing a handsome man, climbs a wall to flirt with the Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review while he's drinking alone late at night!#
Those involved slam the table in protest: "Slander! This is slander!"
Si Fan, the small-business owner of a detective agency, wakes up one day as a lovestruck young woman in the capital. Her father has no ambition, her stepmother is notorious for her jealousy, and her younger brother is good for nothing...
Before she can faint from shock, she discovers that her family has transmigrated too. They stare at one another in a room decorated in an ancient style.
Si Father: Why did I have to transmigrate into this useless guy?
Si Mother: Why am I still your stepmother even after transmigrating?
Si Fan lifts her teacup to moisten her throat, then suddenly pauses. "Where's my brother?"
Si Father and Si Mother are stunned. Only then do they remember they seem to have a son. "That's right, where is your brother?"
Meanwhile, Si Chen has been inexplicably caught up in a murder case and trapped inside the Rainbow Tower. Surrounded by constables, he trembles with his legs shaking, completely baffled. Finally, he shuts his eyes and cries to the heavens, "Sis, save me!"
The person behind the constables, fanning himself, pauses at the sound and says with a smile, "Assistant Minister, this one is rather interesting. Everyone else calls for their parents, but he calls for his sister."
The whole family escapes with their lives and plans to shut the courtyard gate and live quietly. But things rarely go as planned.
Later, Si Fan discovers that Bianjing's winding streets and alleys form a chessboard, and every residence in the city, including the Si family home, is a piece on it. Some people plot at every turn, stirring up trouble, while others desperately try to keep the peace and preserve the illusion of stability.
Luckily, she meets a group of people who stand up for the wronged and argue for what is right.
And so, the clouds part and the truth comes to light!
(Little scene)
Zhong Weian comes to her door holding a newspaper.
Si Fan immediately curls into a ball and throws it eight zhang away. "This newspaper is complete nonsense! Lies! Absolute rubbish!"
Zhong Weian: "Aren't you going to take responsibility?"
Si Fan spreads her hands. "I didn't do anything!"
Zhong Weian raises a hand and holds up two fingers. "You have two choices."
"One: own up to what you did."
"Two: I'll personally give this newspaper, along with tomorrow's headline, '#Eighteen Reasons Miss Si Will Never Get Married#,' to your father."
Si Fan: "..."
What the heck are these eighteen reasons?
And who on earth owns this newspaper?!
Reading guide:
1. Entirely fictional setting. This is not that Bianjing. Some elements are fictional, so don't overanalyze.
2. The focus is on solving cases.
Synopsis for the upcoming novel A Half-Demon's Guide to Running a Shop
At No. 58, Sixiang Road, in the old district, there is a strange general store.
Besides miscellaneous goods and daily necessities, its shelves are full of bizarre handicrafts that hardly anyone would buy.
The store's phonograph often plays the Great Compassion Mantra, and in the middle of the night, the sound of a brass wind chime can often be heard at the end of the alley.
Most absurd of all, the shopkeeper Jiang Qing looks like she has transcended worldly concerns, but in private, people have seen her cosplaying with little wolf ears on.
Lu Huaiqian is a walking bad-luck generator.
He can tell Northern Song official kiln ware from Ming and Qing counterfeits, but can't distinguish the cinnabar and goji berries on Jiang Qing's shelves.
His family "exiles" him because of his unlucky constitution. One stormy night, he rushes blindly into the general store.
The hapless man in a suit smashes the blue-and-white porcelain jar Jiang Qing uses to suppress an evil spirit. She chases him for three whole streets with a broom, while the hundred-year-old beauty ghost inside the jar livestreams on her phone: "Guys, this is where the love story begins!"
Later, he becomes an "unofficial employee" at the general store.
On his first day, he writes an employee handbook by hand.
1. If you break a handicraft, you must make it up with your body. (Jiang Qing's note: Use your body to block the lightning!)
2. No soaking coffee with incense ash. (But after he secretly drinks some, he can see ghosts.)
3. If Boss Jiang says it's right, it's right. (This rule cannot be changed.)
Cases to come:
Why do elderly residents at a nursing home all become demented after having their pictures taken?
Why does the same light always stay on late at night in an office building, while white-collar workers keep dying suddenly one after another?
Why do food delivery orders on stormy nights always come with a rotten umbilical cord, while delivery riders keep dreaming that their bellies swell and they give birth...?
Half-demon shopkeeper x unlucky young nobleman

Theme: World peace!
But this life is be, Xiao is dead (give everyone a knife)
Oh my god, I thought you couldn't write emotional lines throughout the whole story, but it turned out that the emotional lines in this extra chapter were well written. Both of them graduated from the fishing department, hahaha
Alas, the first life was so sweet, but the hero died young, so he was actually a be.
Pre-order collection of "Female Detective: Bianjing Chronicle" and "That Mountain"
Copywriting of "Female Detective: Bianjing Chronicle"
The second room in Earl Qingping's Mansion has been at the top of the list of people in Bianjing to talk about after dinner since he moved to Beijing half a year ago.
The second master has no ambition to seize the throne and fight with his wife every day. He only wants to have a beautiful concubine.
The second wife was jealous of her reputation as a second wife, so she ate and drank every day and tried to pinch off the master's little wild flowers.
The second girl, the stupid little white flower, was repeatedly tricked by fake friends and real villains, and became a nymphomaniac in Bianjing.
The fifth brother is the first to be ignorant and has no skills, but at Makabaka's age, he always thinks about sex and never returns home.
Female detective Si Fan finally found time to go on a self-driving trip with her family, but was knocked off a cliff by an out-of-control truck on a mountain road.
After waking up again, the family looked at each other in amazement as they looked at the antique room.
Sifu: Why do you let me dress like this trash?
Simu: Why am I still your stepmother after time travel?
Si Fan raised his eyebrows: I am still a nymphomaniac, but I am still alive.
The family meeting ended half an hour later. Just as Si Fan was about to pick up the tea cup to moisten his mouth, he suddenly paused: "Where is my brother?"
Si's father and Si's mother were startled, then they remembered that they seemed to have a son: "Yes, where is your brother?"
At this time, Si Chen was inexplicably involved in a murder case and was trapped in the most famous colorful building in Bianjing City. He looked at the government officials surrounding him, stretched out his legs and looked confused. Finally, he closed his eyes and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Sister, save me!"
The two people who were sitting behind the Yamen and fanning their fans were stunned for a moment when they heard the sound.
One person smiled at the Dali Temple Shaoqing beside him and said, "Shaoqing, he is quite interesting. Others ask the servants to find their parents, but he calls me sister."
Sister Bao Sichen: What can he do? Only my elder sister is the most reliable in the family.
After a while, Si Fan, who was either fishing for his younger brother or on the road to rescue his younger brother every day, frowned and looked at Si Chen. Could he be the ancient version of "Edogawa Si Chen"?
The whole family joins the battle and bravely enters Bianjing City!
Reading guide:
1. It is completely fictional and has private settings (the background structure refers to the Song Dynasty system, and the characters in the text have nothing to do with it).
2. Mainly solving crimes, the middle-aged group's career line, the youth group's crime-solving line, and the juvenile group's long-term line, all running in parallel.
I really liked it in the beginning, but in the end I felt that the author was in a hurry and wanted to run all the lines together. Each chapter talks about this thing and that line. It felt so confusing when I read it, and the pace of things felt so slow.
When will the new article be published~ All the flowers of waiting have faded~
Ahhhhh, I love this so much (although I may want to watch the extras in this life more, but the finale is equivalent)
Like it~[Purple Sugar]kswl
Eh? Ah, I just found out that it was completed in 24 years. I originally wanted to ask if there were any extras to the main story. Didn't see enough, didn't see enough
The wait is finally here! I thought I forgot my password [milk tea]
