The Blade of the Hound

In the early hours of June 19, 2000, a brutal crime took place at Thunder Internet Cafe in Lingui City. The victim, Guo Lichao, had been stabbed seventeen times. All that remained at the scene were a few scraps of camouflage clothing. Criminal Investigation Captain Ge Zhigang and his assistant Zhou Huaiying took on the case, unaware that it would mark the beginning of a two-year battle between good and evil.

As the investigation deepened, a criminal organization with Wang Xingping at its head came to light. From casinos to freight, construction to supermarkets, the group’s reach extended into every corner of the city. They enforced strict gang rules, bought guns and knives, and escalated their violence. The gamblers driven to suicide and the small business owners crushed by monopolies were all silent witnesses to the organization’s crimes.

Ge Zhigang and Zhou Huaiying faced this criminal gang. When Wang Xingping was finally brought to trial and the death sentence was read aloud, people began to wonder: could the shot of justice truly end the undercurrents swirling through this land?
