Light on the Margins: A Police Assistant's Casebook

The protagonist, Li Li, is reborn as an auxiliary police officer at a police station in Xizuo City. Warm-hearted and upright, he has exceptional powers of observation and deduction. But his status as an auxiliary officer limits him: he has no independent law enforcement authority, cannot carry police equipment or handle cases on his own, and his written statements have little legal standing. Even so, his love for the job keeps him actively involved in investigations.

Li Li slowly opened his eyes and looked at himself as he was now. A wave of dizziness washed over him. Had he been reborn? He clearly remembered that during the arrest just moments ago, he had already...

In that instant, Li Li had thought of all the things he had left unfinished. But he had come back to life, and this time, he would stop getting hung up on his status and make the most of his second chance.

Li Li sat on a long bench against the wall, unconsciously rubbing his fingertips over his police utility belt. Its cold metal kept reminding him that only the baton holder, radio clip, and first-aid kit were in place. The holster? Empty. Handcuffs? Those were for full-fledged officers. His blue uniform glimmered faintly under the lights. There were no stars on his shoulder boards to signify a rank, just two simple characters: auxiliary officer.
