Mystery novelist Gu Yunzhi transmigrated to the Republican era and became an intern editor for The King of Mystery, a supplement to the Shiguang Daily.
The little newspaper had no name recognition, and nobody paid attention to its supplement. The publisher spent all day lamenting, "We're going out of business," and repeatedly held meetings to discuss canceling the mystery section.
Her colleagues said, "Who reads mysteries these days? Everyone wants the latest news!"
While her colleagues idled away their time drinking tea, Gu Yunzhi slung her camera over her shoulder and quietly left...
Before long, the story The Case of the Bloodstained Woodcarving began running in the supplement.
At first, nobody paid it any attention. Then...
"Hey, why is this story so similar to that major murder case happening right now?"
"We were just discussing the killer's method this morning, and now it's in the paper!"
"There's another case, but we don't need to hang around outside the police station asking questions anymore. Just buy the Shiguang Daily and you'll know, hehe!"
Soon, the newspaper's mystery supplement, The King of Mystery, became famous. The manager and publisher hugged Gu Yunzhi and wept with joy!
Shen Yan, captain of the criminal investigation squad, came to see Gu Yunzhi. He didn't believe in coincidence and thought she was the real culprit behind the scenes.
Gu Yunzhi replied unhurriedly, "The latest case has you stumped, doesn't it? Want to know where the killer will strike next?"
Shen Yan before meeting Gu Yunzhi: Take her in and lock her up. Let's see if she'll confess!
Shen Yan afterward: Take her in and lock her in bed. You're too devoted to your career. Don't you want your husband anymore? (pout.jpg)

"On the day I came to report, Zhang Zhusheng..." This is a big bug for the author~ One more person will
The murderer can't be Ali, right?
This made me laugh so hard. Did I admit the wrong person? Hahahaha
Do you think this Miss Dujuan is related to Uncle Ali and his family?
Nice! I finished reading it in one go. Why are there so few people [touching my head]? It is mainly a simple mystery story. The male and female protagonists have very high IQs. It is not very complicated. It is quite easy to watch, but the ending feels a little too fast. However, the atmosphere of the Republic of China is well created, and it is almost immersive. The emotional line between the male and female protagonists is also very smooth and natural. The tacit understanding between them is so sweet, they are a perfect match. 🌈 [Orange Candy] and [Purple Candy] kswl!
Oh oh oh oh oh my little sister is so strong, she really knows how to use a pistol.
In thinking desperately about the suspects around them. . .
The heroine, Bangbang, is about to solve the case.
More, more, more, more!
Wow, what a suspenseful plot.
