A Crime Guide Group from the Start

When logic is the only weapon, who can glimpse the truth at the edge of the abyss in a maze woven from lies?

On a rainy night in the old city, there is a corpse and a picture frame deliberately set straight. To criminal investigation captain Chen Xi, the evidence clearly points to a burglary. But to forensic evidence expert Lin Jianshen, it is a chilling ritual, meticulously staged. He never believes in coincidence. He trusts only the ironclad logic behind people's actions. The angle of a tilted picture frame, a half-second hesitation in a witness's testimony: every detail is a code to cracking the case.

Deeper darkness soon follows. Zhao Wenbin, the perfect husband, is found with his wife's body hidden in the freezer at home. The scene is suffocatingly neat, and his performance of grief flawless. A tiny spot deliberately wiped clean on the refrigerator handle reveals the killer's true face.

In the depths of the data sea, Lin Jianshen uncovers an even more horrifying truth: Zhao Wenbin frequently visited an anonymous chat window. Every record was set to self-destruct after viewing, and the IP address bounced through multiple layers of encryption before vanishing into the fog of the internet.

He isn't committing these crimes alone.

A criminal organization is lurking in the shadows of the internet, custom-writing perfect crime scripts for ordinary people. From staging crime scenes to providing anti-investigation guides, they turn murder into a tightly reasoned puzzle game.

Lin Jianshen and criminal investigation captain Chen Xi are forced to join forces. Their target is no longer a lone killer, but a vast phantom that is everywhere and nowhere to be found. Every solved case is only a tiny piece of the giant puzzle that began from the start.

This is a hunt spanning the virtual and real worlds, and the ultimate interrogation of human nature and order.
