Hsinying Lee

At twenty, A Wen, directionless and lacking skills, leaves home after an argument with his father, never expecting to return. Twelve years later, he comes back as a man with a criminal record. Fifteen-year-old Li Ming, a gifted student, is constantly bullied by local thugs because of his close friendship with Wang Yu-ting, the girlfriend of the gang leader. When A Wen saves him from the thugs, Li Ming asks him to be his bodyguard, hoping for protection from further bullying.

Our story begins with Junior Detective LIN, who has just been put in charge of a case that appears to be a suicide. Most curiously, the crime scene has many features in common with a scene from a Sherlock Holmes novel. Detective Lin quickly discovers that it is a murder case. Meanwhile, a group of young sleuths supports their detective club president GAO’s dream to win a writing contest. The three club members, psychologist ZHONG, social worker WEN, and pharmacist ZHANG, each harbor a hidden secret. GAO could never have expected that he would become implicated as the killer in an actual murder case! As Detective LIN delves deeper into his case, a series of seemingly unrelated events all end up pointing towards the club members.
