Echoes of Sin and Punishment: The Sentence

On a stormy night in Binhai City, the bizarre death of architectural designer Su Wan brings a three-year-old dispute over a construction project back into the public eye. Fingerprints at the scene point straight to her former partner, Jiang Zhe, with whom she had become bitter enemies. The motive seems clear, and the evidence appears irrefutable, yet Captain Lu Chen's investigation exposes hole after hole in the case.
