In 1952, a Shanghai watch repairman died from a gear puncture. The 3:14 fixed by his pocket watch opened the curtain on private detective Shen Zhiyuan's sixty-year pursuit of the murderer. From food stamp fraud and traditional Chinese medicine poisoning in the 1950s, to videotape espionage and BP machine assassinations in the 1980s, to genetic scams and MP3 drug hiding in 2000, he used a magnifying glass as a blade to decipher crime codes among era artifacts such as clock gears, developers, and digital cameras.
The "Ω Organization" that runs through the case was formerly the Japanese Army's Unit 731. It uses the Ouroboros symbol as its mark and uses technology to iteratively implement cross-century conspiracies. During the investigation, Shen Zhiyuan discovered that his life experience was closely entangled with the organization - his parents died during human experiments during the Nanjing Massacre, and the notebook left by his adoptive father contained core secrets.
On Millennium Eve in 2000, when "Ω" attempted to release a virus through fireworks, Shen Zhiyuan used his adoptive father's pocket watch to end the conspiracy in the old Japanese military laboratory. This game that spans the ages is not only a decryption of artifact evidence, but also a trace of historical scars: the gears of time will eventually crush lies, and the truth will always be revealed in the details.
