Hunting the Killer in the Dark of Night

A sudden murder on a rainy night shattered the calm of Jiangcheng. A young woman had been killed. When her body was found, she wore an eerie smile, and a tiny pinprick marked the spot behind her ear. Detective Captain Chen Mo and forensic examiner Lin Xiaoman arrived at the scene and discovered that the victim was wearing earrings identical to those worn by Su Yuqing, who had disappeared five years earlier. Su Yuqing had been a friend of Chen Mo's younger sister, and her disappearance had remained an unsolved mystery in his heart.

As the investigation deepened, Chen Mo found countless connections between this murder and the disappearance five years ago. The killer left cryptic notes signed "J," seemingly taunting the police. The clues in the notes and the number "1" on the victim suggested this was only the beginning, and more victims would soon follow.

As Chen Mo and Lin Xiaoman pursued the case, they gradually uncovered a vast criminal network. The killer, "J," was not only connected to the disappearance five years earlier, but also to several other unsolved cases. Every time the police drew close to the truth, the killer left a new clue, leading them deeper into the fog.
