In the complicated urban shadow of Binjiang City, low-level young man Lin Xiaodao was forced to become the "special consultant" of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. He was born in the city, and was well versed in human sophistication and gray rules, but he was forced to be involved in a series of bizarre crimes: from ritual serial thefts to perfect murders that had been hidden for many years, from Internet puzzles to cross-border smuggling, behind every case lies the abyss of human nature and the undercurrent of interests.
Lin Xiaodao repeatedly solved strange cases with his cunning thinking and market wisdom, but he also fell into a whirlpool. He had to walk between the rules of the police and the methods of the Jianghu, fighting secretly with the elite detective Zhou Haoming, being pressed step by step by the old fox Tang Dacheng, and even being regarded as a thorn in the side by the mastermind behind the scenes.
This is a game between light and darkness, and a thorny road from which there is no turning back. Lin Xiaodao must use the most "unruly" method to uncover the most secret truth - even if the cost is to become everyone's "enemy".
Down-to-earth, no messy fictional plots
