Xiao Li

is a police chief and a major recurring character in Link Click.
== Appearance ==
Captain Xiao is a middle aged man who regularly wears a brown leather jacket over a white button up shirt. He has light stubble on his face and messy short brown hair that parts in the middle. He sports some wrinkles indicative of his age. 
== Story ==
Xiao Li first met Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang, and Qiao Ling when visiting Time Photo Studio with Li Doudou's father after hearing rumors of their service of visiting the past through photos. After witnessing the trio solve the case of Li Doudou's kidnapping and deducing that Cheng Xiaoshi was the one who had the ability to enter photos, Xiao Li requested their help again on a major case: A series of homicides without any obvious motive or connections between victims. Their investigations would lead to the arrest of Liu Min, but it was soon unveiled that the real culprit was another party yet unknown to them who had the ability to possess others.
Xiao Li would continue to play a major supporting role in the investigation of this case, eventually uncovering the culprits Qian Jin and Li Tianchen who had committed many crimes relying on Li Tianchen and her sister's ability to remotely control others through photos. A special task force was then established for crimes that involve paranormal abilities, with Xiao Li appointed as its head.
== Personality ==
Xiao Li is a serious and down-to-earth man, most times appearing staid and businesslike. He is clever and astute as expected from a police officer, as well as conscientious, disliking derailing from whatever main objective is to be achieved. Overall rational and striving to do things the right way, he rarely lets his personal feelings get in the way or affect him. 
However, Xiao Li does possess a subtle protective streak towards those closest to him, and invoking it seems to be the most sure-fire way to make him act on his emotions. Such could be observed when he got visibly worked up over Liu Jing accusing Chen Bin of taking bribes, or when he let the criminal Li Tianchen escape simply so that he could go assist Wang Juan, a dear colleague of his. 
Also, despite being somewhat unexpressive, Xiao Li is not harsh or cold. He can be tactful and gentle when needed, and is perfectly capable of showing sympathy and compassion, particularly seen in his interactions with Doudou's father.
== Relationships ==
=== Qian Jin ===
Qian Jin and Xiao Li met each other at police academy when they were younger. It is likely that they are of similar age and joined the police force around the same time. When attending the police academy, Xiao Li believed Qian Jin to be a more righteous person than he was. However, this would later turn out to not be the case. The two worked together for a long time, but were eventually assigned new partners, and became increasingly distant from each other partly as a result. They don't seem to have maintained any kind of contact following Qian Jin's resignation, with Xiao Li noting feeling more distant from Qian Jin than ever before after seeing him again.
=== Chen Bin ===
Chen Bin was Xiao Li's second partner after Qian Jin. The two operated efficiently as a team, with Xiao Li being the chief, and Chen Bin his subordinate. They got along swimmingly, and seemed to have a friendship beyond just work, although Xiao Li would sometimes get annoyed when he thought Chen Bin was being too flighty. Unsurprisingly, Chen Bin's unexpected violent death left Xiao Li visibly shaken, and would continue to haunt him afterwards.
=== Wang Juan ===
Wang Juan was another colleague of Xiao Li's whom he had a close relationship with. He admired her toughness and capability in physical combat, openly praising her for it. He also showed strong dedication to her wellbeing, even abandoning the pursuit of Cheng Xiaoshi and Li Tianchen in favor of going back and helping her fight. When she appeared to have been killed, Xiao Li screamed in agony and after carrying her to safety, swore to bring Li Tianxi to justice to avenge both her and Chen Bin.
Later, Xiao Li reveals to Qiao Ling that Wang Juan survived the incident and will make a full recovery. He is then seen sitting by her bedside in a flashback.
