In the bustling harbor city of Haigang, night falls like a vast sheet of black silk, quietly covering the vibrant metropolis. But in the city's darkest corners, a horrifying nightmare is just beginning.
A series of murders targeting women has exploded across Haigang like a string of bombs. Without exception, the victims are young, beautiful women, their deaths bizarre in the extreme. Their bodies have been carefully arranged in strange poses, and seemingly meaningless symbols are scattered around them. When the police arrive, all they find is deathly silence and a chilling scene. Every detail seems to mock their incompetence.
The case is assigned to Detective Captain Zhou Zheng. Beneath his thick brows, his eyes are as sharp as a hawk's, filled with an innate resolve and courage. His colleagues at the station jokingly call him Old Zhou. He has years of experience and is fairly well known in police circles. Yet even Old Zhou can't help furrowing his brow as he confronts these cases, sinking into deep confusion.
