The True Colors of a Criminal Police Officer [1990s Crime Investigation]

The Meng family was in trouble.

The daughter who had been missing for eighteen years had finally returned.

But the family already had an adopted son who had taken her place.

Mother: “Even though you’re back, you’re still just a girl. Your brother has already inherited the family business, while you’re just a small police officer. Don’t even think about competing with him.”

Adopted Son: “Little sister, don’t overthink it. Everything that belongs to the Meng family is mine, and of course, it’s yours too.”

Meng Siqi glanced at the crime scene photos in her hands, her mind focused entirely on the case. Ignoring the Meng family’s words, she casually responded, “The victim’s pleura shows red spots, commonly known as Tardieu’s spots, indicating mechanical asphyxiation. She was strangled to death.”

Meng Family: …

Meng Siqi never expected that she had a special ability.

Whenever she came into contact with a crime scene, crucial clues about the murder would reveal themselves.

The method used to kill, the characteristics of the murderer, their unique habits…

It was as if the crime scene was replaying itself like a movie, giving her glimpses of the truth.

From that moment on, City A had a new legendary detective, and criminals found themselves haunted by an unstoppable force.

Police Chief: “Still can’t solve the case? Go find Xiao Meng!”

Criminals clutching their heads in despair: “Stop! I confess! I’ll plead guilty! I give up!”

Reporter: “Officer Meng, given how limited the clues were in some cases, how were you able to find the culprit so quickly and accurately?”

Meng Siqi, with a sincere expression: “Through performance techniques in criminal psychology.”

The reporter and audience chuckled fondly: “Officer Meng, you’re so playful.”

Meng Siqi: “I told the truth, but you wouldn’t believe it anyway.”

Others solved cases by searching for evidence and tracking down suspects.

She solved cases with the answers already laid out in front of her. When clues weren’t enough, she relied on her acting skills to bluff her way through. There was always a foolish criminal who would fall for the trap.

Detective Meng sighed helplessly: “No one understands the loneliness of being unbeatable.”

Watching the news report, the Meng family was completely dumbfounded.

“Is it… too late to make amends and bring our daughter back?”

Meng Siqi smiled.

“What do you think?”

(The cases in the story progress from simple to complex, with the difficulty level increasing exponentially. The protagonist’s ability is just an enhancement, while the real challenge comes from detailed criminal profiling, forensic investigation, and crime-solving techniques.)
