The magistrate of Xiao Lin County, a small and impoverished county. He is diligent but lacks investigative finesse, yet he is efficient in locating the grave of Miss Lian's husband.

He is overwhelmed by the complexity of the case and the wealth disparity between the county office and the victim's social circle.
