Summary
Gaoshun has just been going through the motions since his divorce. Being a detective is not what it once was, when justice does not apply to the rich and poor equally. So when his partner Jinshi (a rich boy playing at policework to escape his family's expectations) develops a fascination with a young, antisocial crime scene forensic technician named Maomao, Gaoshun cannot at first be bothered to care. But, Gaoshun can't help observing her, despite himself. Little things at first, then big things. As her sordid past reveals itself, he is finally driven to help. When he invites her into his life, unthinkingly, he has no idea what is to come. But surely it can't be worse than his grey days and bleak empty nights already are?
And what is up with these murders that that have the head of internal affairs breathing down his neck?

Summary
“So you know how Abby and I are going through a rough patch.”
Mel cocked her head. “I thought you were getting a divorce.”
“Nah, she won’t actually go through with that. She’s just making me work for it,” Frank said, as if he hadn’t been served with divorce papers in the ED lobby through the plexiglass.
“Ah,” said Mel.
He took a deep breath. “So anyway, I was thinking. You’re single, I’m separated. We should be friends with benefits. Just for six months or so, until Abby takes me back.”

Summary
Mel’s third-favorite scene in Dirty Dancing is only a second long. It’s when Johnny jumps off the stage during the final dance and flips his head up right on cue with the singer crooning “Hey, baby!”
So it was very distracting that, for the rest of the day after her karaoke session with Myrna, Frank had been quietly singing those two words to her every time they ran into each other. A “Hey baby!” when he slid into the chair next to her in the breakroom. Another when they met in the middle both jogging to an ambulance.
She couldn’t help but laugh every time he did it which, knowing Frank, meant he’d probably do it tomorrow, and the next day, and the next.

Summary
Like the one Frank thinks of now, as he stares at the ceiling. He can practically heat Mom’s voice, chipper and raspy and kind of grating: Time flies when you’re having fun!
Frank is not having fun. It must be why time seems to have stilled.
