Lin Ye, a recent senior at the police academy, is two months away from the joint entrance examination for graduation. His daily life consists of three things: working as a police officer to resolve neighborhood disputes as an intern, staying up late studying for exams and memorizing legal provisions, and repeatedly jumping around in fear of failing papers and failing exams. Until one late night when he was working overtime, while sorting out old files, he came across a case from three years ago—— On April 17, 2019, someone reported that they found a body with sharp injuries to the neck and a large amount of blood. The next day, the deceased himself came to the police station to report that his home had been stolen. In the following months, he appeared in the case records many times, cooperating with the investigation, providing clues, and identifying the scene. In the end, the case was dropped. No one died. No one pursued. Everyone, alive. But Lin Ye remembered that on the first page of the file he opened that day, there were four words written in black and white: Suspected murder.
