Shanghai Beach in 1933 was full of neon lights and busy traffic. Known as the "Paris of the East," this city is a paradise for adventurers and a hotbed of crime. Here, opium smoke floats, dance hall music is loud, and gangsters, spies, and businessmen mix together, creating a chaotic and glitzy world unique to this era.
In this context, there is a name that always looms behind the case - Shen Yan. Shen Yan is a maverick detective. He has a slender figure and a thin face. He always holds an ebony pipe in his hand, but rarely smokes. His eyes are as sharp as an eagle's, always able to capture a glimmer of truth from chaotic clues. He was once a criminal consultant at the patrol house in the French Concession. He resigned angrily due to an unsolved tragedy and turned to take on various bizarre cases as a private detective.
