Summary
Gaoshun has just been going through the motions since his divorce. Being a detective is not what it once was, when justice does not apply to the rich and poor equally. So when his partner Jinshi (a rich boy playing at policework to escape his family's expectations) develops a fascination with a young, antisocial crime scene forensic technician named Maomao, Gaoshun cannot at first be bothered to care. But, Gaoshun can't help observing her, despite himself. Little things at first, then big things. As her sordid past reveals itself, he is finally driven to help. When he invites her into his life, unthinkingly, he has no idea what is to come. A mysterious murder, a girl without a name, and then another, a trail of clues leading through Maomao's world. Brothels, addiction, crime families, harassment and threats from Internal affairs. Gaoshun will find his sense of right and wrong shaken, as he faces her realities.
