On the day of my retirement, I squatted alone by the river and ate sesame seed cakes.
Thirty-two years of criminal police career, 231 cases, 89 major criminal investigations.
Some cases are more painful when they are solved than if they were not solved.
Some truths were unearthed but could never be told.
My apprentice asked me: Captain Lin, which one is the hardest for you to forget?
I didn't answer.
Because the people in those cases are still in my mind to this day, alive and well.
This is the case-handling diary of a retired criminal policeman.
I don't boast about my magic skills in solving crimes, I just tell stories about those cases that were solved but failed to break people's hearts.
The case files can be filed, but nothing about the case can be filed.
