The Hunt

The day Shen Wen was expelled from the police force, he thought the end of his life was a sixth-floor rental in the old district of Jiangbei. Until the third serial murder occurred. At the crime scene, he found a cigarette butt without bite marks and a pair of Liberation Army shoes prints that didn't belong to anyone. Someone had been standing outside watching it all, for a long time. Even stranger, when he touched the physical evidence at the crime scene, he could 'see' the three minutes before the crime. Each time he traced back the truth, the cost was randomly forgetting a memory. Lu Ci, a former provincial criminal police officer, voluntarily transferred to Jiangcheng. She didn't trust intuition, only evidence. But she found that what Shen Wen knew always preceded any autopsy report. Two people abandoned by their respective worlds, one chasing killers through forgetting, the other solving cases through logic. They soon discovered that every victim of the serial case was connected to a twelve-year-old cold case. And the owner of those Liberation Army shoes was standing outside every crime scene's yellow tape, patiently waiting for them. He was waiting for them to find the truth. Or rather, he was teaching them how to find it.
