Simulating Crimes 100,000 Times, I Became an Ace Detective
A killer who can create the perfect crime must also be the strongest ace detective. Su Ming, who had just passed the police academy entrance exam, unexpectedly gained the ability to simulate crimes in his dreams. Each time he simulated the perfect crime and no one discovered the murderer during the statute of limitations, he would gain various skills used in the crime. After simulating the perfect crime 100,000 times, he acquired countless skills. Su Ming, who should have become the number one criminal, instead joined the criminal investigation team after graduation. To him, all cases seemed like child’s play, full of mistakes. Even the smallest detail or loophole could directly point to the criminal! As he continued to solve what others considered perfect crimes and long-unsolved cases, the whole country began to call Su Ming the true ace detective. Unable to wear even the first-class merit medal, his police rank soared five levels in a short time. Become a criminal? Impossible! It’s far easier to become a criminal investigator, solve cases, and achieve fame and success! -
