The plot of Forensic Heroes 3 was quite logical since its broadcast. However, netizens laughed at the ending episode, in which Kate Tsui (徐子珊) and Ron Ng (吳卓羲) chased criminals from the day through night time. In another scene, the central characters walked in a catwalk fashion to investigate cases in the Central district. Discerning users noted that Kate and Ron belonged to the Crime Bureau Investigation Unit of Kowloon West, yet their caseload involved the entire Hong Kong New Territories region.
