Very Dangerous Crimes. Notes of a Forensic Expert: Urban Chronicles

Qin Ming — a forensic expert with 27 years of experience investigating thousands of corpses, an author of detective stories, a star of Chinese criminology. His unique perspective on forensic examination, based on real cases, has won millions of fans in China and beyond, and many films and series have been made based on his books.

Nine murders. Nine mysteries. Nine chances to test yourself.

Qin Ming guides the reader step by step through the route of a real investigation — from the crime scene examination to laboratory analyses, from conflicting witness testimonies to irrefutable evidence. You will check hypotheses along with the expert, make mistakes, go back, and search for the truth again. This is not just a book, but an interactive investigation where every clue counts. You will find hints, scientific details, and personal notes from the expert. Try to solve the crimes before the professional does!

You will learn: how to determine the time of death by body temperature and stomach contents; how to decipher the crime scene from blood splatters and shoe prints; why a criminal almost always leaves a "business card"; how modern DNA analysis revives cases that have been considered hopeless for decades.
