A skinless female corpse was found on the roof of an office building, her body covered with plastic wrap.
The police suspected that the deceased collaborated with the murderer to kill him. At the same time, in the fingerprints of a hand at the crime scene, it was found that five fingers belonged to five people.
They were the five parties involved in last year's murder case. Wang Chi, who solved the case, was transferred from the police force because he was suspected of having mental problems. In order to solve the case, the superiors took the risk and hired Wang Chi, who had become a "village policeman".
Wang Chi believes that the skinning case is a continuation of the previous case, even though the murderer has been reduced to ashes.
Through Master Shan at the Natural History Museum, Wang Chi learned that the skinning technique originated from an ancient book in the Ming Dynasty, and that this book had long been stolen by Master Shan's brother. It is said that he was brought back to China by experts from the former Soviet Union in Harbin to study body preservation techniques for senior officials.
Legend has it that the lost antiseptic technique was recorded in the book. The author was a failed Chinese medicine practitioner in ancient times. Because of his good calligraphy, he accidentally copied it from thousands of books when compiling classics for the imperial court.
Wang Chi followed this book and took the first step towards solving the case.
