The 1990s: Becoming a Detective with a Sharp Tongue

Jiang Yao transmigrates into the body of a hostage.

Before she can figure out what’s going on, she faces a murder attempt.

The kidnapper grins wickedly. “A bullet or a knife. Pick one.”

Jiang Yao: “...”

She doesn’t want either!

Luckily, her golden finger came with her. Her jinxing tongue kicks in, the kidnapper trips on flat ground, and Jiang Yao successfully “kills” him instead.

After escaping with her life, she gets caught up in the “corpse burned in a haystack” case while recovering from her injuries. She accidentally discovers how to upgrade her golden finger, and from then on...

The accidental murder of a middle-school teacher, the body parts found in Central Park, the massacre at the Emerald Lake villa, a series of robberies and murders...

Before she knows it, Jiang Yao has gone from a rookie police officer just starting out to a criminal investigation expert who cracks major cases, and then to the world-famous “Eastern Sherlock Holmes.”

A wealthy family in Harbor City offers her a fortune to solve a case.

Interpol invites her to join an international operation.

Media outlets at home and abroad compete to report on her, saying she has eyes that see through evil, and that no matter how cunning a suspect is, they can’t escape her scrutiny.

In truth, Jiang Yao has only a tiny golden finger: a jinxing tongue. Whoever she curses has bad luck, and it works especially well on criminals.

During a case, Gao Zongming, captain of the Dongshan City Criminal Investigation Squad, spots a promising newcomer.

She has a real knack for solving cases.

Delighted to have found such a talent, Gao Zongming promptly brings her onto his team.

Then he discovers she’s not only talented but also clever, eager to learn, and persistent.

He likes her even more. He thinks the two of them together make a perfect “master and star pupil”!

His mischievous friend beside him says, “A star pupil? You introduce her to boxing and shooting ranges, spar with her for free, and wait on her hand and foot, wanting to take care of everything from head to toe... You city folk really fuss over your apprentices, huh?”

Gao Zongming firmly believes his friend’s mind is in the gutter, until...

An eighteen-year-old high school boy: “Officer Jiang, can I be your number-one informant someday?”

A provincial capital’s psychological expert: “Officer Jiang, would you like to attend my psychology lecture this week?”

Even colleagues from other provinces and cities resort to sending handsome men her way. “Officer Jiang, why not stay here with us? Look at our young men: tall, long-legged, and baby-faced!”

Gao Zongming: “!!!”
