Liang Shuwen is a young detective who comes from a scholarly family. He is only thirty years old. He studied in England. After returning to China, he joined the private detective industry because of his persistence in justice. He firmly believes: "The truth is never afraid of being covered up." He always wears a slightly old but neatly pressed gown, and his brows reveal his handsomeness and perseverance.
