A modern criminal investigation novel. He is reserved, meticulous, and clever. He is cheerful, meticulous, and clever.
They are mirrors of each other, in two different cities, staring into the same abyss.
Behind the disappearance of a fifteen-year-old boy are a half-smoked cigarette butt, broken surveillance cameras, a number that keeps appearing, and an increasingly clear outline: someone is pulling the strings, and they are both caught in the scheme.
Zheng Zijing wants the truth. Xu Zipei wants answers.
But neither knows whether, at the end of this case, they will have to face the side of each other they least want to see. A cheerful, lively little ray of sunshine who hides a dark side × a cool, meticulous stone-faced man.
