The Human Heart Must Never Be Seen Clearly

On October 1, 1979, the Kwun Tong Line of the Hong Kong MTR began trial operations.

A man's body was found at the foot of a mountain.

Liu Jinhong, a detective with the Major Crimes Unit, and Officer Qin Feng rushed to the crime scene.

"Did you see the body?"

"No. The police were already there when I arrived. They'd put up a cordon outside and wouldn't let anyone else in."

"He was a bad man. He often beat Su Ziling."

"If your father treated you like that, would you dare ask about him?"

Most of the books on the shelf were mystery novels by the Big Three: The A.B.C. Murders, Death on the Nile, Murder on the Orient Express, And Then There Were None, The Mystery of the French Powder, The Witch's Corner, and so on. There were no comics or film magazines.
