Description
Many years later, facing the cover reporter of Time magazine, Yi Jiayi would recall the distant afternoon when the head of the serious crime unit took her to see the body… At that moment, she heard the wails of the deceased, saw the face of the mu*derer, and gained the ability to mentally revisit the crime scene. From then on, Hong Kong had one less civilian policewoman who spent her time gossiping over tea and dating after work, and gained a shining star in the police force who solved every case she encountered. Head of Serious Crime Unit: How did you know he was the mu*derer!? Yi Jiayi: Because it was a rainy night (omitting the reasoning process, 800 words), so there is only one truth… The mu*derer trembled, his face turned pale, speechless, surrendered, and resigned himself to his fate. Yi Jiayi thought: I’m sorry, all of the above was made up. As the saying goes, explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is just storytelling! Solving a case is like solving a math problem; others derive conclusions based on known conditions. She just knows the answer directly, and the process of solving the problem relies entirely on fabrication… Acting, pretending to be a detective, deceiving the mu*derer… resorting to all sorts of extremes, it’s really difficult! … Ming Pao Reporter: The police force in Hong Kong calls you “Female Zhuge”, saying you are both intelligent and close to supernatural. What do you think, Officer Yi? Yi Jiayi: Haha, I’m just an (extraordinary) ordinary person. Reporter: It’s said that your home was vandalized by two thugs, and even the Flying Tigers were mobilized. Yi Jiayi: Haha, that’s just the daily routine of righteous officers protecting ordinary citizens. Hong Kong Daily Reporter: It’s rumored that the sons of Hong Kong’s wealthiest, the rising young stars, and… are all pursuing you? Which one do you prefer? Yi Jiayi shivered at the thought of the wrath of the Jealous King, not daring to be careless. She sat up straight, facing the camera, and said firmly: “It’s all rumors! As a detective dedicated to the cause of justice, my only concern is to uncover the real culprit and ensure the safety of the citizens. I have no time for romantic affairs.”

Hong Kong Detective [90s] Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Hong Kong Detective [90s]
"Hong Kong Detective [90s]" is a novel that completely pulled me in, offering a compelling blend of crime-solving, character development, and a heavy dose of Hong Kong nostalgia. It's the kind of story that sticks with you, and I found myself eager to dive back in whenever I had a spare moment.
First Impressions
The initial hook is undeniably the unique premise: a policewoman who can see the final moments of a victim's life. This supernatural element immediately sets the stage for intriguing cases. However, it's not just about the supernatural. From the beginning, I was drawn to the protagonist, Yi Jiayi, and her journey from a police clerk to a respected detective. The blend of crime and character growth felt organic and kept me invested.
What Works Well
What truly elevates this novel is the strong character work. Yi Jiayi is a fantastic lead – courageous, empathetic, and driven. Her growth feels earned, and I appreciated that her abilities didn't overshadow her intelligence and diligence. The supporting cast is equally well-developed, each with their own distinct personalities and motivations. The relationships, particularly the found family aspect, add a layer of warmth and depth to the story. The slow-burn romance with the team captain is also well-executed, built on mutual respect and admiration.
The author's attention to detail in recreating 1990s Hong Kong is phenomenal. The descriptions are so vivid that I felt like I was right there, experiencing the sights, sounds, and even the tastes of the city. The meticulous investigation of each case, blending logic and systematic analysis, is satisfying, and the resolutions feel earned.
Areas of Concern
While the slow-burn romance is generally appreciated, I can see how some readers might crave a bit more action on that front. The focus is definitely more on the crime-solving and character development, so if you're primarily looking for a romance-heavy story, this might not be the perfect fit. Also, the FL's simple mindedness can be a bit much at times, and it would be good to see her character be a bit more complex.
Final Verdict
"Hong Kong Detective [90s]" is a well-written and engaging novel that successfully blends crime, character development, and a strong sense of place. The unique premise, compelling characters, and meticulous attention to detail make it a standout read. Despite minor pacing issues with the romance, the overall experience is highly rewarding. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys detective stories with a touch of the supernatural and a strong focus on character relationships.
