After the liberation, he survived various movements, only to finally leave behind the true story of the twenty-plus cases he personally cracked in Nanjing and Shanghai during his time. The realistic style, real cases, and intricate, interconnected plots. Beauty avenges a friend, the underworld hides murder. The law is merciless, but the master thief has a way.

Investigating and solving cases, untying knots and tying them, cherishing beauty, the passionate detective becomes a protector of the flowers.
