When the shadow of a bizarre murder quietly shrouded the city, 25-year-old rookie police officer Chen Shuofeng, who had just joined the police station, was involved in the whirlpool of a complex case. He was born in a seaside fishing village, and the tenacity and simplicity of a fisherman is like an undercurrent, hidden under his dark skin; while the delicate and sensitive heart is like a pearl in the deep sea, able to capture the glimmer of light that others ignore. When he was thinking about the case, the light in his eyes seemed to penetrate the fog.
Chu Xiaohan, the captain of the criminal investigation team of the police station, is 30 years old and comes from a scholarly family. His demeanor is as graceful as a lonely crane in the clouds. When handling cases, he is vigorous and resolute, and his decision-making is as decisive as a sharp knife cutting through thorns. But his hobby of collecting cartoon dolls in private is like a warm current hidden behind an iceberg, which is in sharp contrast to his serious image.
The opponents they face are cunning and ruthless criminal gangs. The leader, Sha Meng, is like a lone wolf in the wilderness. In order to protect the ancient tribal treasures, he will not flinch even when faced with the sword of justice. The wise man, Lan You, is like a rose with thorns, covering up his inner ruthlessness with a gentle appearance and wholeheartedly pursuing the so-called perfect crime.
At first, the protagonists are lost in the intricate maze of clues, and the case is like a mess with no clue. At this time, Zhao Tiezui, the well-informed old newsstand owner at the door of the police station, was like a beacon in the dark night. The gossip provided by him gave the investigation a new direction. And the whimsy of forensic assistant Liu Huaxin, a street graffiti artist, is like a key, opening a new door to clues about the corpse.
However, as the investigation deepens, the protagonists fall into a deeper conspiracy. Every step they take is like walking on the edge of a cliff, paying the price of trust, time and even life.
