A string of murders rocks Jiangzhou City. Every corpse bears an eerie smile, and a livestreaming platform sends out “death forecasts” late at night.
Seven years ago, Shen Jin’s entire family perished in a fire. Left disfigured but alive, he spent years lying low overseas before returning under his dark-web alias, “Crow.”
Now he infiltrates the police station as a psychological counselor, only to be swept into the vortex of the smiling-face murders. The truth points straight back to the fire all those years ago.
By chance, he gains the ability to solve mysteries through livestreams, analyzing the details of each crime every night and guiding viewers across the internet to piece together the clues.
The livestream is bait, and information is a trap. As the killer watches, their true identity is gradually exposed.
While others run for their lives, he sets the trap. The whole city watches, but he controls the rhythm of death.
When seven villains emerge one after another, a strategist, an assassin, a drug lord, a madman, a school bully, a gang leader, and an old friend, he sneers and says from the start: “The day I died, the whole city was watching.”
But he was never the one who died.
