This chapter opens with a flashback to the police academy, where Shuguang was assigned to the Qu'an police team. Shuguang says that he and his team will "show no mercy" to violent criminals, and that he will kill anyone who tries to harm them. He tells us that he was assigned as soon as he graduated from college to the team of constable Qiao. He says that Shuguang couldn't hold his gun "even when he was scared" . He also says that when he first arrived at the police station, he was told that he would be promoted to the rank of lieutenant. He asks if he has the account books and voice of Sanhe, and he says yes.
