Description

The investigation of a severed limbs case was stalled. Lu Junchi, captain of the Major Crimes Unit, went to the Chinese police academy to ask for advice. Captain Lu originally thought he would get the advice of a respected old professor. Unexpectedly, he met the sick and weak beauty, Su Hui, who gave him some advice. Before the reasoning, Lu Junchi belatedly wondered if this Beauty Su was just a pretty face. After the actual evidence, Lu Junchi belatedly thought that this Beauty Su wasn’t a pretty face, he was the one who was silly and foolish. Lu Junchi was grateful for Su Hui’s help in this case. He appreciated Su Hui’s talent but was afraid that the weak and sick Su Hui wouldn’t be able to live a convenient life. Therefore, he became a Daddy Long Legs uncle and sent warmth to Su Hui day and night. He sent and sent… Later, he took the big beauty home. Captain Lu didn’t know that this crippled beauty Su Hui, who had extremely poor eyesight, was deaf in one ear and could run 200 meters in three minutes, would turn out to be a criminal psychology profiling expert who scared criminals. He didn’t know that Su Hui had multiple identities or that he was an old acquaintance… Su Hui was proficient in criminal psychology portraits and had extremely meticulous reasoning ability. He went deep into the hearts of the criminals to reveal their secrets. He had the courage to go into extreme danger and walked through a hail of bullets with no fear. His heart was like a rock as he fought against evil, like a reed that couldn’t be defeated. He looked so weak while actually being so tough. No one knew that his world was actually a foggy mess on the verge of collapse. The surrounding liveliness was like a silent movie to him. This was until he met the person who helped him put everything together, retrieving his lost memories and finding the truth of everything to put him back on the road of life. Su Hui: Do you know what ‘hope’ is in my dictionary? Lu Junchi: ? Su Hui: It is you.

My Thoughts on Criminal Investigation Notes

"Criminal Investigation Notes" pulled me in with its intriguing premise: a brilliant profiler with amnesia teaming up with a talented detective to solve a series of interconnected crimes. As a sucker for detective stories with a touch of romance, I was eager to dive in.

First Impressions

The initial chapters immediately grabbed my attention. The cases were compelling, and I appreciated the author's attempt to integrate psychological concepts into the narrative. The dynamic between Su Hui, the profiler, and Lu Junchi, the detective, was promising, and I was curious to see how their relationship would develop amidst the dark backdrop of serial murders.

What Works Well

I found myself thoroughly enjoying the intricate web of mysteries that the protagonists had to unravel. The way seemingly disparate cases connected to form a larger, overarching plot kept me hooked. Several readers have praised the slow-burn romance between Su Hui and Lu Junchi, and I have to agree. It felt natural and unforced, growing organically alongside the unfolding investigations. I also appreciated the attention to detail in the crime scenes and profiling, which added a layer of realism to the story. The author's research into criminology was evident, which made the cases even more captivating.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the overall story, I did find myself occasionally wishing for more depth in the supporting characters. They often felt like they existed primarily to prop up the main characters. Some readers have pointed out inconsistencies in police procedure and world-building, which, while not deal-breakers for me, did occasionally pull me out of the story. The romance, though sweet, might not satisfy readers looking for something spicier or more dramatic.

Final Verdict

Despite some minor flaws, I found "Criminal Investigation Notes" to be a worthwhile read. The engaging mysteries, compelling protagonists, and slow-burn romance make for a satisfying blend of genres. If you're a fan of crime novels with well-developed characters and don't mind a more subtle romantic subplot, I'd recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared for a few plot holes and some less-than-stellar side characters.
