Backwater Bay Mystery

On a rainy night in the backwater bay of the Yangbi River, Longjia, a bachelor in Heima Village, went fishing at night to collect a gift. He actually fished out the corpse of a woman tied to a stone, with the lost "soul-locking knot" of the Yi people tied around her wrist. The rumor of "the river god asking for his life" instantly enveloped the village. Luo Xin, the chief of the investigation section of the County Public Security Bureau, led a team to intervene. Withstanding the resistance of the villagers and old patriarchs, they confirmed that the deceased was Lin Wanqiu, the missing investor, and that he contained the local "Ecstasy" toxin in his body. The villagers kept it secret, and Long Jia frequently encountered strange incidents, but because of his familiarity with the waters, he became Luo Xin's "non-staff assistant". From mutual dislike to tacit cooperation, the two cracked the hydrological code of Backwater Bay, deciphered the mystery of the soul-locking knot and Yi customs, and discovered that the case involved the disappearance of Yi businessman Amu ten years ago, and was also closely linked to smuggling activities and land acquisition disputes carried out by smuggling gangs under the cover of eco-tourism. In solving the case, Long Jia got rid of the "wimp" label and gained love with the herbal medicine girl A Yun; Luo Xin found out the mastermind behind the scenes, solved the unresolved case, and solved his own psychological shadow. In the end, the smuggling gang was arrested, Heima Village transformed into eco-tourism, the rumors of Backwater Bay dissipated, and justice and hope bloomed by the Yangbi River.
