The Crime of Deduction

In 2040, after Earth was struck by a comet swarm, humanity built cities to survive the apocalypse.

The young Mu Shiheng viewed this world with cold indifference, until one day he unexpectedly met Lu Ling, a girl he liked, at the mystery bookstore he ran with his family. While trying to free Ling, who had been arrested for her connection to a terrorist attack, Shiheng was swept up in a riot among the city's immigrants. A young man with mysterious powers saved him. Soon afterward, he was threatened by a mysterious organization called Soul, which claimed to be in charge of managing the immigrant riots, and forced to join them.

From then on, his fate began to change dramatically. Through his encounters and bonds with Mu Linfeng, the [Hero of Atonement], Ling, and Ji Qingchuan, and by bearing witness to one event after another, he grew from an inexperienced boy into a strong, independent hero. He saved many people who mattered to him, came to understand the meaning of deduction and his reason for fighting, and found the bonds he shared with others.
