Yu Xin slept deeply. When he finally woke up, it was already evening. He stepped out to the balcony off the living room and saw the orange-red glow of the sunset. The sky was ablaze, the clouds tinged with molten gold as the sun poured over the horizon. The edges of the clouds looked like they had caught fire, shifting in shape and hue, one strand at a time. Yu Xin stretched with a satisfying yawn. It had been a long time since he’d slept so well. The nausea and fatigue from earlier were completely…-

“Jiang Chong, I’ve officially passed probation!” Yu Xin held up a pair of mugs, each printed with the yellow logo of Kangzhou City TV station. He bounced excitedly over to Jiang Chong and handed him one of the mugs. Jiang Chong looked into Yu Xin’s sparkling eyes—he clearly wanted praise. Raising his hand, he ruffled Yu Xin’s hair. “Wow, our little Yu is amazing!” Yu Xin set the mugs down and threw himself into Jiang Chong’s arms, nuzzling like a puppy. “Captain!…

For the next half hour, Yu Xin didn’t say a word. No matter how much Yuan Kai scolded or threatened him, Yu Xin acted as if he hadn’t heard anything. He simply kept his head down, right hand gripping his left wrist, occasionally glancing at his watch. Jiang Chong and Yuan Kai exited the interrogation room. Yuan Kai slammed his notebook down on the table. “This guy’s mouth is tight as hell. I’m pretty sure he’s the killer.” Jiang Chong placed a hand firmly on Yuan Kai’s shoulder and…

“Captain Jiang, we’ve received a report—someone died at a private residence in the western part of the city. The local police station found it suspicious and transferred the case to us.” Jiang Chong was sitting in his office, looking at a photo of Zhao Xun, when Ma Pingchuan walked in. Jiang Chong put away his phone, stood up, and walked out as he spoke. “Bring Tangyuan and head to the scene.” Ma Pingchuan turned to leave to gather the team. Jiang Chong added, “And bring Li Fangfei,…

Jiang Chong’s grip was strong, and it hurt Yu Xin’s wrist. Yu Xin awkwardly coughed and said, “Let go of me. I can walk on my own.” Jiang Chong slowed down and gradually released Yu Xin’s wrist. Neither of them spoke again as they walked to Yu Xin’s car. Jiang Chong got into the passenger seat and instinctively leaned back against it. The pressure on his back made him sit up sharply in pain. “I’ll take you to the hospital.” Jiang Chong shook his head. “It’s just a minor…

Sitting in the car, Jiang Chong looked around at the decorations. A row of plush toys lined the dashboard, swaying with the car’s movement. Hanging from the rearview mirror was a triangular red peace charm, sealed in a clear plastic bag. Jiang Chong had once had a peace charm just like that—it was something Yu Xin’s father, Yu Huai, used to bring back from the temple every year. Yu Xin’s mother, Xin Qian, passed away from illness when he was five years old. In his grief, Yu Xin’s father, Yu…

During the meal, Yu Xin didn’t say much. Most of the talking was done by Jiang Ran, who complained about how hard school was one moment, and then grumbled about how Jiang Chong was always busy and rarely came home. When it came to other topics, Yu Xin would occasionally respond. But whenever Jiang Chong was mentioned, Yu Xin stayed silent. After dinner, Yu Xin planned to meet up with Xu Yuanyuan at a KTV, so he told Jiang Ran to head back on her own. “I’ve got something to take care of.…

“We’re here!” Yu Xin pulled up the handbrake and saw Xu Yuanyuan intently staring at her phone. “Yuanyuan, what are you looking at?” Xu Yuanyuan handed the phone to Yu Xin. “Shifu, I’m looking at my idol—Reporter Carrier Pigeon! He just infiltrated a Brazilian drug cartel again and filmed them making drugs. He even talked with them! He’s incredible!” “Really? How stupid, going to such a dangerous place.” Normally, Xu Yuanyuan would never talk back to Yu Xin, but this…

After the KTV robbery and murder case was solved, the members of the Criminal Investigation Division finally let out a sigh of relief. There hadn’t been a single case for two days straight, and everyone in the office cherished this rare moment of peace. Once May passed, June, July, and August would become the peak season for criminal cases. An old detective had once compiled statistics on the frequency of cases across the twelve months of the year. Extreme weather tended to increase the likelihood…

“Shifu :Master, they went in. What do we do now?” Xu Yuanyuan and Yu Xin were hiding in the greenery, watching their target walk into a villa. Two tall, sharply dressed security guards—each at least 1.8 meters tall—stood at the gate. There was also facial recognition at the entrance. No way they were sneaking in. Xu Yuanyuan was assigned to Yu Xin by the entertainment company—part apprentice, part assistant, part driver, and part videographer. She had graduated less than a year ago, yet she…
