Desperate Pursuit

In 1929, in Tianjin, Liao Shenghui, the son of the director of the police department, was involved in a carefully laid puzzle by a mysterious person, who guided him step by step to explore the secrets hidden in the Shengnan Orphanage fire 14 years ago, a batch of Dunhuang cultural relics of unknown origin, and a serial poisoning and murder case that shocked the city. The Communist Party, the Kuomintang, the Japanese, the Beiyang warlords and other forces were involved in this puzzle to start a fight. Liao Shenghui's road to solving the mystery is full of difficulties. He faces powerful opponents - the thoughtful Kuomintang agent Zeng Jiayang and the extraordinary Japanese ninja Ikuko. As the mystery is gradually solved, the criminal purposes of the Japanese and the Kuomintang are exposed, but the truth is unbearable for Liao Shenghui: he, Zeng Jiayang, and Yu Zi were all partners in the orphanage back then. In the end, three people belonging to different camps joined forces to fight the enemy, but they failed. In 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the three people who had grown into staunch communist fighters met again, and they joined hands to embark on a new battlefield to resist Japan and save the nation.
