      Detective Story: The Evil Formula

      The iron-fisted policy and never straying are the consistent truths upheld by police officer Jim. Because he lived in the shadow of his father's tyranny as a child, his heart was full of sorrow and pain due to this black-and-white oppression. It is reflected in the work, that although it emphasizes conscience and handling cases, it is unable to implement a more humane strategy.

      Such as the treatment of young Arthur. His theft was a first offense, but Jim just wasn't willing to let...
