Demon Vein Detective

This book revolves around the backlash fate of the demon vein and the professional duties of a criminal police officer. The protagonist, Shen Yan, carries the residual soul of Bai Jiu, a white fox who failed to transcend tribulation, and possesses the supernatural ability to see resentment and ghosts. Every time Shen Yan uses the power of the demon vein, his bodily functions suffer damage and his lifespan is correspondingly shortened. Shen Yan longs to investigate the unsolved case of his mother's murder nineteen years ago, while also bearing the duty of solving current murder cases. Shen Yan repeatedly weighs the realistic threat of the demon vein shortening his life against his obsession with uncovering the truth and saving the innocent—this is the fate-driven conflict of the entire book. The book also presents the opposition and integration of two paths: scientific investigation and metaphysical supernatural power. The female lead, Lin Shuying, believes in trace evidence examination technology and emphasizes the objectivity of the chain of physical evidence and the rigor of logical reasoning. Shen Yan relies on the demon vein to directly lock onto the source of resentment and perceive anomalies that ordinary people cannot detect. Lin Shuying initially questions the basis of Shen Yan's case-solving, and Shen Yan is also constrained by criminal investigation regulations from directly disclosing his supernatural power. The two complement each other's shortcomings through collaboration. Shen Yan uses his supernatural power to guide the direction of investigation, while Lin Shuying uses modern criminal investigation technology to transform supernatural traces into legal court evidence. The two paths move from confrontation to coordination, completing the cognitive unity of the entire book. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Demon Vein Detective — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
