Xiang Nuan [Criminal Investigation]

[Crime-solving trio + two male leads + three powerhouses + case-solving] [Crime-solving first, romance second]

[Brilliant, gentle squad leader VS ridiculously strong, roguishly handsome police officer VS sharp, spirited female forensic pathologist] [Two male leads; the forensic pathologist has a canon pairing]

The head of the Nan'gang District Criminal Investigation Squad in Hanshui City and his wife are murdered at home. No trace is left at the scene, and with no clues, the case makes no progress. The truth remains elusive.

Their daughter survives, and is adopted by her father's former apprentice.

The Nan'gang District Criminal Investigation Squad's Captain Qu, Officer Gu, and forensic pathologist Gao join forces to solve the case.

One case after another comes their way:

The Red Mansion case, the teenage girl murder case, the two bodies in one coffin case...

Beneath the bright, clear sky, the waters churn with danger.

The search for the truth is arduous, but full of strength.

The cases grow clearer, yet the forces behind them grow ever more tangled and obscure.

But that's all right.

Tomorrow, the warm sunlight will shine upon the earth once more.

“I am willing to give my life for the great cause of public security, without hesitation.”

“Our duty is to protect the safety of the people and their property, at any cost.”

“To speak for the dead, and uphold the rights of the living.”

“Old Qu, you have to sacrifice some pieces to win a game of chess. So sacrifice me.”

“Never!”
