Jiangcheng, a first-tier city wrapped in neon. Behind the glamorous CBD, there are countless old moss-covered alleys, abandoned old buildings, and forgotten people and things. Lin Shen, an old objects restorer, runs a small "Shen Alley Repair" shop at the bottom of an alley, specializing in repairing discarded old clocks, old jewelry, and broken porcelain. What he repairs is not the objects, but the secrets hidden in the rust, cracks, and movements. Three years ago, his sister Lin Xi disappeared on a rainy night, leaving only a broken jade and a vague nursery rhyme. From then on, he secretly salvaged the truth from the past while repairing old things. Until one rainy night, an old-fashioned clock sent anonymously broke open the dusty murder case - the ticking pendulum hid the serial missing codes; the movement of the movement was wrapped in the darkest malice in the city. Lin Shen
28 years old, a restorer of old objects, with a cold and taciturn appearance. His fingers are long and calloused, and his powers of observation are so terrifying that he can tell the time of the crime from a rusty nail. Suffered from mild insomnia due to the disappearance of my sister, and was physiologically stressed by rainy nights, nursery rhymes, and old-fashioned clocks. He understands machinery, trace science, and the dark side of people's hearts. He is the "non-staff trace master" of the criminal investigation team. Su Wan is 27 years old, a police officer from the Serious Crime Division of Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment. He is capable and valiant. He does not believe in ghosts and gods, but only in evidence. At first, I thought Lin Shen was a bit arrogant, but later I was impressed by his ability to dig out the truth from old things and became his partner. Under the pressure of the workplace, he wanted to prove himself by solving major cases. Chen Mo is 50 years old and a veteran detective of the criminal investigation detachment. He knows about Lin Shen's sister's old case and has been secretly supporting them. The clockmaker hides a villain whose age is unknown, proficient in clock machinery, psychologically twisted, and kidnaps girls in the name of "freezing time"
