At the beginning of the story, a young and beautiful wife dies.
And the murderer, who was spared punishment for being a minion of the power department, the prosecutor tried hard to track down, but lost his friend. He pursued it not only for those "enigmatic eyes", but also because this case was the tight bond between him and the heroine. She is highly educated, young and beautiful; and he can only love her silently in his heart, but he has no courage to express it to her. The pursuit of the case is also to hold on to this only bond.
And the most painful, or the deepest, was the victim's lover, who could never break free from this cage. The tragic death of his wife brought his life to an end. He would go to the station every day after get off work to wait for a murderer who didn't know if he would appear. For a whole year, if it wasn't for the prosecutor's notice, he would have been waiting. When the murderer was spared punishment, he chose to punish him with the rest of his own life. He didn't kill the killer because death was too light and too easy for the punishment he chose. Death becomes a relief, immortality is an atonement. He fed the murderer every day without saying a word to him for decades. This is a way of living that is worse than death, a real punishment. However, this not only detained the murderer, but also the perpetrator. He also put himself in a cage, too cruel.
The last scene really hits the heart, a murderer, a prosecutor, a victim's husband. Who is imprisoning who, who is in the cage.
