A mysterious case is hidden in a small and prosperous county, and the officialdom is a shady case!
Qingyang County seems to be prosperous, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent. The powerful and powerful dominate the sky. Murder cases occur frequently, but they are all hastily concluded. Detective Zhao Erlang, a "bastard little official"; and Su Jiu, an orphan and widower. The two people who were supposed to be cleaning up the troubles in front of each other are connected because of one case after another. From being afraid of trouble and wanting to protect themselves, to witnessing the injustice of the people at the bottom and witnessing justice being trampled on, the two "little transparents" in the officialdom were forced to join forces. One relies on his slick wisdom to deal with the powerful, and the other uses top-notch autopsy skills to decipher the code of death. In the "tightrope investigation" where their lives hang on a thread, they lose their cowardice and numbness, and transform from feudal clerks who wait for death to civilian guardians who dare to speak out for the weak and fight for the truth.
This is a counterattack by a small person, and it is also a history of the growth of a detective - when two "official shrimps" forcefully attack the black network of power, can the shocking shady story behind the murder be completely torn apart with their courage and conscience?
