In the midsummer of June, the cicadas are noisy.
School bully He Lin and school boss Pei Xu, one is a "problem student" who has been living on the streets all year round and wants to inherit his father's career and apply for the Public Security University, and the other is a genius quasi-forensic doctor who looks as gentle as jade but actually has no mercy in sewing.
On the afternoon after the college entrance examination, across a cordon, the two made a vague agreement.
No one knows that He Lin chose the police academy to find out the truth about his father's death in the line of duty, while Pei Xu chose forensic medicine because he had secretly read through the dusty file many years ago.
One is a criminal investigation reserve who punches the crime directly, and the other is an anatomy with a knife to dissect lies.
When the admission notice arrived as scheduled, the gears of fate began to turn again.
From the scorching sun military training at the police academy, to the late-night sneaking in the city bureau's archives, to the mystery of the serial murder case.
He Lin's fist and Pei Xu's scalpel are destined to collide at the intersection of blood and truth.
"No matter where you go, I will find you."
This time, they are no longer deskmates across the desk, but partners who are about to stand side by side on the border of life and death.
The truth may be late, but love and justice will never be absent.
Intent: This is a novel about "pursuit" - the pursuit of truth, the pursuit of justice, and the pursuit of each other by two lonely souls in the process of pursuit.
