Her father was a constable in the county town, and Xie Chunxiao was a wild girl who followed her father around since childhood. She knew a little martial arts and was unrestrained.

At first, everyone just thought the little girl was playful and mischievous, and that she would stop following him after being scared a couple of times. But later, everyone admired her; this girl was amazing. Xie Chunxiao could see what others couldn't, and at crime scenes, she could find clues that others couldn't. Some grateful people said her eyes were like a pair of heavenly eyes…✨
