Upon completing a year-long training program with a special operations team at the Ministry of Public Security, Ming Shu returns to Dongye City to discover that he has a new boss.... more>>

Many people said to him, “Ming-ge, the new boss is such an enigma. Don’t let him harass you.”

To which Ming Shu replied, “…that guy has been harassing me for years. You guys just don’t know it.”

Ever since Ming Shu returned to the bustling metropolis of Dongye City, strange mu*ders have been cropping up one after another. An unemployed man suddenly goes berserk in a cafe. A mysterious incident occurs at a long-abandoned playground in the middle of the night. Underneath the body of a man who met a tragic end, a second corpse is discovered to be buried.

Captain of the Serious Crimes Division, Ming Shu, and Deputy Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Xiao Yu’an, join forces to investigate and solve all these bizarre cases and more. <<less

When he was young, Xiao Yu'an wore a white shirt and rescued a child from a tree.... more>>

The child's hands were sticky with sugar water from the melted peppermint popsicle he’d been eating, and he left a five-fingered imprint on the front of Xiao Yu'an's shirt.

When he was young, Ming Shu had to climb up and up and up in a tall tree in order to see the gege in the neighbors' yard.

He wanted to quickly grow big and tall, so he wouldn't need to climb any more trees. So he would be able to turn around, at any time, and see the gege from the Xiao family.

"You don't need to wait for me," he said. "Let me chase you. Let me make you my guiding light." <<less
