Crimson paint soaked the canvas, and the exhibition of death's art began.
When Zhao Chen, captain of the criminal investigation team, entered the murder scene, he discovered that the final painting by the artist Lin Wan had been painted with blood.
A string of murders lay hidden in the brushstrokes, while twelve eerie paintings foretold a countdown to death.
The elite members of the task force each had their own specialty: the criminal profiler laid bare twisted desires, the trace evidence expert held a gun to the real culprit's throat, and a mysterious collector secretly spread a hunting net.
When a reporter trespassed into the restricted area, when a traitor tore open an evidence bag, when his most trusted partner stopped breathing in his arms...
The blood-red mystery closed in step by step. Zhao Chen had to unravel this murderous art, in which human lives were the paint. Meanwhile, the killer's brush was putting the final stroke in place, somewhere he could not see.
