Ever since everyone confirmed that Qin Ke was the mastermind behind the Hongshan case, they had spent the past month trying every possible method to unearth clues that could implicate him. Unfortunately, the case had taken place ten years ago, and He Wenjie had deleted all information related to the Hongshan case from the internet. As a result, despite working themselves to the bone for so long, they still could not find any substantive evidence.
Facing an opponent as formidable as He Wenjie gave Xia Dong, a veteran investigator of many years, a deep sense of helplessness. Clearly, he already knew the entire truth, yet he simply could not get his hands on any evidence that worked in his favor. Not only did he lack evidence of his own, but many of his own weaknesses remained firmly under the other's control. A sense of despair gripped Xia Dong, making him feel like a mouse being toyed with by a cat.
What filled them with even greater despair was learning through their investigation that Qin Ke had been diagnosed with cancer and had very little time left. If they could not find evidence to implicate Qin Ke before he died, finding it later would be completely meaningless, and Xia Dong's suspicion would never be cleared.
