There isn't a case my man Jiang can't crack. What? My dad's missing?

In short: [Police detective solves cases + searching for Dad + one heroine + suspense + a born overtime worker]

The story: Police officer Jiang Ming disappears after getting caught up in a major case. His son, Jiang Ping, quits his detective job in the provincial capital and returns to his hometown to look for him. Along the way, he solves every murder case, big and small, in the county.

Male lead Jiang Ping: A brilliant detective with ability and connections, tactics and brains. What, you can't solve cases with brains alone? This Sir knows a thing or two about fighting, too.

Female lead Shang Mantian: A justice-minded social affairs reporter with outstanding professional skills. She's not very lucky, though, and often ends up in the hospital when her investigations turn dangerous.

Case introductions: A baby who dies during a full-moon celebration, a teacher who kidnaps students, a streamer hacked to death during a live broadcast, a head in a show home, a teenager who dies in a garbage pit... These and other murders all take place in Minhua County, a remote border region between M Province and S Province. The terrain is rugged, the economy underdeveloped, and violent crime is common.

Half a year ago, Jiang Ping's father vanished under mysterious circumstances, and there has been no word of him since. To get to the bottom of it, Detective Jiang Ping transfers to the county's major crimes unit, where his father once worked.
