Tran—X

A young officer had just joined the Major Crimes Division in Hanchu City. Rumor had it he had powerful backing, was pampered and delicate, and even had a little hobby of fortune-telling on the side.

On this, Captain Lu Hui of the Major Crimes Unit remarked, “The sooner we send this living Buddha off, the better.”

And so—

[The Married Couple Car Accident Case]

Jiang Ling: “The female victim wasn’t destined for a lasting marriage—the couple’s relationship must have been poor.”

Yet after the initial investigation, everyone discovered that she and her husband were known in the neighborhood as a famously loving couple.

Lu Hui: “Knew it was unreliable.”

Yet when the truth came to light, all of Jiang Ling’s guesses were confirmed.

Lu Hui: “…Must’ve just been a coincidence.”

[The Apartment Crime of Passion Case]

The victim’s boyfriend was caught red-handed at the scene, and the initial judgment was that it was a crime of passion.

After checking the victim’s date of birth, Jiang Ling remarked, “The victim should be single right now.”

Everyone: “Heh, what, are you saying that big ol’ boyfriend of hers is fake?”

As the case was unraveled and the truth gradually came to light, Lu Hui said, “He does have some ability after all.”

Later on, Lu Hui said, “Xiao Ling, come take a look at this for me. I have a feeling his relationship with his parents isn’t as harmonious as it seems on the surface.”

One day, the Major Crimes team noticed their usually straightforward, 1.9-meter-tall tough-guy captain shuffling awkwardly over to Jiang Ling, the tips of his ears slightly red: “Can you check for me—I want to ask someone out on a date tomorrow. Will it work out?”

Jiang Ling looked up and gave a gentle smile. “I think it will.”
