Synopsis

A corpse is found in an ancient well, reopening an old case. A butterfly jade pendant binds the fates of Chen Ci, a writer who has spent seven years pursuing the killer, and Lu Zheng, a detective hemmed in by the rules. Symbol-filled notes, torn field records, a second skeleton of unknown identity... Amid the fog of the narrow alleys, the two go from opposition to partnership, closing in step by step on the truth: a loan-sharking gang has colluded with senior figures at the police bureau. As secrets buried for years are peeled back, they will finally understand that some forms of justice are destined to break free of the shackles of the rules.
