Chen Xiyang’s adoptive mother was the widow of a police officer who had died in the line of duty. Influenced by her family, Chen Xiyang became an ordinary auxiliary police officer at Qingquan Lane Police Station after graduating from university. She worked diligently, helped the local community, and safeguarded the residents’ peaceful lives.
However, the quiet, peaceful life was soon shattered. A child-trafficking gang turned its evil gaze toward innocent children and happy families. The baffling disappearances of several children cast a pall over the city.
Even while suffering from a serious illness, Chen Xiyang insisted on reporting for duty and actively participating in the investigation. She worked around the clock, putting her own safety aside, yet time and again she came within a hair’s breadth of the killer.
At last, Chen Xiyang pieced together the complete chain of evidence. The missing children were rescued, and Criminal Investigation Team Three of the Municipal Public Security Bureau carried out an in-depth investigation and successfully closed in on the gang, destroying an international smuggling ring in one decisive operation. A cold case from years ago was finally solved.
