Can a Squad Leader Be a Handsome Top? [Criminal Investigation]

This is a crime investigation novel with a different twist: a handsome top squad leader paired with a strong bottom forensic pathologist!

Twists, suspense, and killers you never saw coming.

The pace is lightning-fast, with a case solved about every three chapters!

Teachers, migrant workers, nouveau riche... every facet of ordinary life makes an appearance!

Lovers, fathers and daughters, brothers... every relationship runs deep beneath a tranquil surface.

By the time you reach the end of a case, you might feel a small shock!

The fear, malice, cowardice and evasion, hypocrisy and sincerity concealed within the flesh and blood of humanity... all these subtle emotions surge like underground currents in a hidden river, churning and swelling as they crash against jagged rocks, forming enormous black waves that roar to the heavens. It all happens beyond the sunlight, beneath the surface.

A note for readers:

Traditional-style crime investigation, no golden finger, but it's actually a satisfying read.

The story is set around 2003, but you can treat it as a fictional setting.

*The author is not a professional in this field, so the novel inevitably contains some fictionalized material (in other words, things I've made up). The cases are simple enough to be kindergarten level~ but I've used every bit of my limited intelligence, so I hope you'll just have fun reading.

Important note:

For the enjoyment of most readers, feel free to make reasonable guesses, but please don't read the final chapter of a case and then spoil it in the earlier chapters~ (Thanks for cooperating~ mwah~)

Theme: What lies beyond the sunlight will eventually be illuminated by it
