Playing dumb | Says one thing, means another | They like each other but wait for the other to speak first | Romance first, cases second

A crime of passion, solving cases, hunting down criminals, falling in love...

1. The police department asked Shi Luo to invite an expert in criminal psychology. She tried three times, but the first two came to nothing. On the third attempt, by a stroke of misfortune, she knocked the expert to the ground.

When Shi Luo finally got a proper look at the famous professor, she realized he was the person she'd written love letters for on behalf of someone else back when she was a student.

What are the odds? Talk about a dramatic turn of events!

But... it seemed like the other person didn't recognize her?

2. When they were young, Chu Ziyin came from a wealthy family and was beautiful, so she was incredibly popular in high school and often received lots of love letters.

Of the three thousand beauties in the world, she chose only Shi Luo.

Though the more than ten letters seemed to have come from different people, Chu Ziyin could tell at a glance from the wildly different wording that they had all been written by the same person.

That person was none other than Officer Shi, who was always cursing at her and baring her teeth...

One day, drunk, Chu Ziyin let the truth slip. She pinned Shi Luo against a wall and whispered in her ear, "I never thought that Officer Shi, who usually hits and curses me, would write me love letters."

After saying that, she collapsed, leaving Shi Luo alone to revel in the moment.

Shi Luo grabbed her by the collar and shook her. "Hey! Get up! What do you mean I wrote you love letters? Chu Ziyin, do you have no shame?"

"..."

Bonus scene:

Chu Ziyin looked at the love letters she had framed on the wall. "Mmm, she must like me."

After Shi Luo's blind date fell through:

Chu Ziyin: "I must be the only one for her, right? Otherwise, why wouldn't she like anyone else?"

Shi Luo appeared with a sinister grin. "What the hell are you looking at? Chu Ziyin, don't you dare run! Stand right there!"

One-line description: Write a love letter, and you've got dibs on a girlfriend~
