Lu Zhiyong, a native of Chao County in Yundong Province, had been obsessed with detective work and solving crimes since childhood. At the age of seventeen—eight years ago—he was imprisoned for the first time after interfering with a police investigation and severely injuring a criminal during a physical altercation. He served a sentence of one year and three months.
Since then, over the past eight years, Lu Zhiyong had been imprisoned a total of thirteen times for conducting unauthorized investigations and employing violent tactics such as torture and beatings against suspects. One could say he had made the Tianhai City prison his home; he hadn't spent more than a few days outside those walls in all those years. As for his family, they had long since cut ties with him; both his parents acted as though they no longer had a son.
In the Chaoshan region of Yundong Province, clan values are incredibly strong. Unless one has committed an unforgivable transgression, blood relations are rarely severed. This speaks volumes about just how toxic the relationship between Lu Zhiyong and his family and clan had become.
