The Exonerator

Genius mathematician Lin Mo is drawn into a carefully orchestrated series of murders, and all the evidence points to him.

The killer marks the corpses with mathematical symbols, uses a total lunar eclipse to create the perfect alibi, and even turns the truth behind the fire at the “Angel Orphanage” ten years ago into a bloody code of revenge.

To prove his innocence, Lin Mo joins forces with police captain Shen Yuqing to investigate. Each corpse is a “puzzle piece,” and every victim was connected to the fire that consumed 34 children. The mastermind, “X,” predicts their every deduction with uncanny accuracy, as if Lin Mo’s thought patterns had long ago been written into an algorithm.

When Lin Mo discovers that the gaps in his childhood memories overlap with “X”’s revenge plan, the truth becomes ever more horrifying. The beginning of this deadly game was already set twenty years ago, on a rainy night. And the final target “X” intends to hunt down is none other than Lin Mo himself...
