In the cold winter of 1991, the steam pipes of the Nehe Fertilizer Plant in Heilongjiang spewed out pale mist, obscuring the most horrifying secrets of the Songnen Plain. When tricycle driver Wang Laizi saw the hem of red woolen clothes disappearing in the snow, he would not have thought that he was standing at the beginning of a series of murders - a pottery jar with pickled vegetables deep in the cellar, soaking the souls of three provinces.
Jia Wenqiang, a laid-off worker at the slaughterhouse, carved "human beings are inferior to animals" on human bones with a butcher's knife, and Xu Lijuan, a kidnapped female college student, drew 42 blood stains with lipstick on the cellar wall. The black blood coughed up by veteran detective Li Guoxiong stained the case file, and traceology rookie Lin Xiaoman discovered the death code in the permafrost layer of the victim's fingernails. When the 167 bloody clothes were unfolded into a map of Northeast China in the evidence room, people were shocked to realize that the blizzard in this border town had already cast sin into bloody amber.
From the restructuring list of state-owned factories to the five-yuan notes in the radial burial pit
Tracking unlit Peony cigarettes under the neon lights of a disco
This is not a simple showdown between good and evil——
When the butcher recited Das Kapital and mocked the judicial system
When an accomplice hands over a secret chain of fingerprint evidence
When the new version of the criminal investigation textbook covers the gastric cancer death certificate on the tombstone
What surges under the ice of the Songhua River is the confusion and redemption of the entire era.
