It is said multiple times in the drama that Shen Yi went to police school, right after he burned his paintings.…
Thank you for the explanation! Somehow I didn´t get the part, where they say that he went to police school. I thought myself that he must have, and never doubt that he actually went. But they did not include any visuable footage of the seven years he "vanished". I had also the feeling, that they did cut some szenes to shorten the drama, wich otherwise would have been longer, but better understandable. Sometimes It´s difficult for viewers to understand all the context only delivered through the subtitles.
