Notes of a Light Chaser

In 2026, Lin Ting, the youngest trace detection expert of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment, accidentally touched the old watch that was parked at the time of the crime while sorting out his father's belongings. When she opened her eyes again, she returned to 2010 and became her twelve-year-old self. There were still seven days until his father Lin Jianguo "absconded" with 50 million stolen money and his whereabouts were unknown. Everyone said that Lin Jianguo was a corrupt official, but only Lin Ting knew that the man who would clumsily braid her hair before going out and whose palms were covered with calluses would never betray his police uniform. This time, she was no longer a little girl who could only hide behind her mother and cry. In a twelve-year-old body, there is the calmness and sensitivity of a twenty-six-year-old mark examination expert. She uses criminal investigation thinking that transcends the times to unravel the cocoon in the undercurrent of the puzzle; She used her identity as a child as a cover to deliver the most critical clues to her father on the verge of life and death. Lin Jianguo has always believed that he must bear all the darkness alone in order to protect his wife and daughter. Until the daughter who "suddenly grew up" told him with unquestionable eyes: "Dad, it's not you who's wrong, it's the people hiding in the dark. This time, it's me who will help you." From testing each other to trusting each other in life and death, the father and daughter fought side by side amidst the cicadas and fog. This is not only a search for the truth spanning sixteen years, but also the ultimate two-way redemption of understanding, reconciliation and faith between two generations. When the clock strikes midnight, the second hand of the watch starts beating again. Those grievances buried by the years will finally be revealed, and the real light chasers will finally usher in their own light at dawn. Purpose: A glimmer of light becomes a torch, paying tribute to the unknown heroes (social value) "There are no heroes who fall from the sky, only mortals who stand up." Behind the 50 million stolen money is the complicated undercurrent of the times and the greed of human nature. The story does not deliberately deify the police, but rather shows their struggles and choices when faced with intimidation and inducement, betrayal by colleagues, and threats to their loved ones. The intention is based on "the perseverance of ordinary people". In the long dark night, it is precisely because there are countless ordinary people like Lin Jianguo who accept death and refuse to join in the sins and cling to the bottom line that they gather into the light of dawn.
