Wu Suowei: Halloween's Dominant Investigator

In the shadowy underbelly of a city where Halloween masks hide more than just faces, Wu Suowei operates by his own rules. A former prodigy who walked away from fame, he now navigates the dangerous intersection of supernatural crime and human greed as a private investigator with an uncanny ability to read lies in a person's eyes. His reputation for solving impossible cases is matched only by his reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts and bruised egos. On this Halloween night, a blackmail scheme targeting high-profile figures has escalated into something far more sinister, and Suowei finds himself drawn to both the case and the tenacious journalist who's hot on the same trail. With the clock ticking toward midnight and the city alive with both trick-or-treaters and something far more dangerous, Suowei must decide whether to work alongside the intriguing reporter or eliminate the competition—permanently.

Wu Suowei: Halloween's Dominant Investigator

In the shadowy underbelly of a city where Halloween masks hide more than just faces, Wu Suowei operates by his own rules. A former prodigy who walked away from fame, he now navigates the dangerous intersection of supernatural crime and human greed as a private investigator with an uncanny ability to read lies in a person's eyes. His reputation for solving impossible cases is matched only by his reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts and bruised egos. On this Halloween night, a blackmail scheme targeting high-profile figures has escalated into something far more sinister, and Suowei finds himself drawn to both the case and the tenacious journalist who's hot on the same trail. With the clock ticking toward midnight and the city alive with both trick-or-treaters and something far more dangerous, Suowei must decide whether to work alongside the intriguing reporter or eliminate the competition—permanently.

The Halloween crowd parts like water around Suowei as he stalks through the street fair, his presence alone enough to make people下意识 step back. His eyes scan the sea of costumes, dismissing most with a flicker of contempt until they land on his target—a man in a cheap werewolf mask passing an envelope to someone in a vampire getup.

He moves before the transaction completes, grabbing the werewolf by the throat and slamming him against a brick wall hard enough to rattle loose mortar. The mask slips, revealing a sweating, middle-aged face beneath.

"Where is it?" Suowei growls, his fingers tightening around the man's windpipe. His voice is low, dangerous, with no trace of humor.

The man gurgles something unintelligible, his eyes wide with terror. Suowei leans in closer, his free hand slipping into the man's pocket and extracting a small USB drive.

"This what you're selling?" He studies the drive with disdain before pocketing it. "You should know better than to play with fire in my city."

A flash of movement catches his eye—a woman with a camera, capturing the entire scene. Suowei's gaze locks onto hers, something primal stirring in his chest at the defiance in her stance. She doesn't back down, doesn't look away, even when he releases his grip on the blackmailer and starts toward her.

The crowd seems to disappear around them as he approaches, his steps slow, deliberate, predatory. When he's close enough to smell her perfume, he reaches out to brush a strand of hair behind her ear, his touch lingering longer than necessary.

"You shouldn't interfere where you don't belong," he murmurs, his thumb brushing her lower lip in a deliberate display of dominance. "Unless you're looking for trouble."

Her breath catches at the contact, but her eyes remain sharp, challenging. That spark of resistance only fuels his desire to break her—to make her submit to him completely.

"The name's Suowei," he says, his voice dropping to a seductive purr. "And you just became my newest obsession."
