Someone spent ten years replicating the same murder.
Ten years ago, law professor Zhou Mingyuan hanged himself in a detention center after being accused of sexually assaulting students. The key witness was his favorite female student. After she said that, the case was no longer suspenseful.
Ten years later, the popular actress fell to her death. All the evidence points to the wealthy husband, and the lawyer who defends him is the female student back then.
The criminal police officer handling the case was the one who personally arrested Zhou Mingyuan ten years ago, and was also her ex-boyfriend who broke up five years ago.
The same technique, the same chain of evidence, the same silent witness.
Someone told them: What you are investigating is not a new case, but an old account from ten years ago.
Someone warned them: If you continue to investigate, you will be the next to die.
And when they finally found the truth, they discovered——
They were never pursuers, but pawns to be manipulated.
In that silence, everyone was complicit.
