Xia Yue hurriedly asked, "When did he disappear?" The constable began to report: Ding Lang lived alone in an alley behind Xinchang Street; his parents, wife, and children were all back in his hometown. Since arriving in the capital, he had indulged in all sorts of vices, including drinking, gambling, and whoring, and even used his good looks to seduce respectable women. When he ran out of money, he would write home asking for more, but how could ordinary families afford that? The constable said, "When we went to his house, it was ransacked. The neighbors said they hadn't seen him for several days. We asked at casinos, brothels, and restaurants, and they all said they hadn't seen him in days." Why disappear now of all times? Who wouldn't be suspicious? The constable added, "The casino also said that Ding Lang owes them one hundred taels of silver, and they're looking for him. If they can't find him, they're planning to report him to the authorities." The debtor has disappeared, and those who wanted to arrest him have come up empty-handed—was Ding Lang fleeing to escape punishment, or is there another hidden story?

    It's very realistic, focusing solely on solving cases without romantic subplots. The story is mind-bending and engaging. You can never control others; all you can do is control yourself. I love this kind of story that's all about solving cases, without any mindless women or romantic subplots. The protagonist isn't a character who grows through character development! It's fantastic!
