   It's truly a wonderful book! I stumbled upon it by chance, started reading it halfway through, but couldn't stand the slow, one-episode-per-episode release and had to give up. Now, I've picked it up again and finished it, and I'm deeply moved. My writing isn't great, so I can't fully express it, but I genuinely recommend it. The case near the end really made me realize the determination of the Chinese People's Police, giving me a new understanding of the police force and the hardships and sacrifices of anti-drug officers. In conclusion, I highly, highly recommend this book!!!
