Five years ago, a mutilated iris copper piece caused the "Ghost Case" to be hastily sealed. It also took away the life of the mother of the serious crime team leader Lu Chen, the journalist sister of trace expert Su Wan, the father of the young police officer Lin Ye, and the wife of the forensic doctor Chen Mo.
Five years later, the same mark appeared again late at night in Qingcheng.
Four people burdened with old cases and secrets are forced to come together. The old scar on Lu Chen's left arm is connected to the lies told by senior officials of the provincial department. The secret codes in Su Wan's notebook point to her sister's unfinished investigation. Lin Ye's "defected" father has actually been lurking outside the organization for five years. Chen Mo's autopsy report from that year hides the guilt of killing two people.
They thought they were tracking down a serial killer, until they discovered that every seemingly independent murder case was the work of the same organization - doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and high-ranking police officers. In the name of "trial" for twenty years, they have woven a web that enveloped Qingcheng.
This is not revenge. This is the medical record of a city.
When the four fragmented lights finally converged, they realized that the real ghosts were never the murderers hiding in the dark, but the sins acquiesced to by the entire era, falling ashes in the sunshine.
More than 80 independent murder cases, a bloody dark thread running through five years.
This is not the salvation of one person, but a group of people who will not be forgotten, holding the lamp again for all the eyes that have never closed.
