Chapter 2
My name is He Mu. Since childhood, I have loved mysteries and detective stories, and I was determined to apply to the police academy, hoping to become a detective one day.
Back then, I thought my future would always be smooth sailing.
The unexpected happened in the summer of 1997, when I was seventeen. My father took me to the college entrance examination.
Before I entered the exam hall, my father called out to me, looked at me deeply, hesitated as if he wanted to say something, and finally said, “You will definitely do well and get into the police academy.”
At the time, I didn’t notice anything unusual about my father. I just took it as a routine encouragement, nodded, and turned to go inside.
I did perform quite well. After finishing the last subject, I hurried out of the exam hall, eager to share my joy with my father.
But my father was nowhere to be seen.
