Editor's review

Mind Catcher opens with the murder of a female student and online shop model in Wanzhou. Shen Deli, the criminal investigation team leader, asks psychiatrist Fei Dalei to help analyze the killer's motive. Fei Dalei conducts a psychological profile by visiting the scene and concludes that the killer took the victim's lower leg; the subsequent recovery operation confirms his judgment. This opening establishes the narrative mode in which Fei Dalei intervenes in criminal investigation through professional expertise, and it also forms a stable collaborative relationship between him, Shen Deli, and trainee female detective Cen Xixi. A series of cases then unfolds one after another. While helping solve cases, Fei Dalei repeatedly runs into new troubles, with the character's circumstances and the progress of the cases constraining each other. For readers who enjoy psychological profiling, investigative collaboration, and serial-case structures, the appeal lies in how professional judgment and scene evidence corroborate each other, and in how the trio cooperate and clash under pressure. As you read, pay attention to the gap between the basis of Fei Dalei's judgments and the pace of police evidence gathering in each case; this is the main source of suspense.

Wuli Long is a suspense and mystery author with limited publicly available information. Three of the author's works are currently held in the collection, with representative titles including *Shelter*, *Mind Hunt*, and *The Forensic Bone Evidence*. Judging from the titles and the category, the writing tends to center on case investigation, psychological pursuit, and forensic examination, combining mystery plotting with professional detail to build tension. *Shelter* emphasizes setting and the characters' circumstances, *Mind Hunt* points toward psychological pursuit, and *The Forensic Bone Evidence* involves forensic and material-evidence reasoning. Although the author's biography, nationality, and English name are not clearly recorded, so the personal background cannot be confirmed, the existing works suggest an interest in the logical chain behind a case and the complexity of human nature, with narration that leans on plot momentum and evidential reasoning, giving the author a certain recognizability among mystery readers.
