1925, Shanghai Concession. This is the "Paris of the East", and it is a lawless place where crime breeds. When the Huayang patrol is at a loss, people will always think of the weirdo in Huile on Fuzhou Road - Huo Mingzhe.
He was born in the Qing Dynasty Institute of Translation and Interpretation, and was once an interpreter in the patrol room. He resigned angrily because he was dissatisfied with the favoritism of his foreign superiors and became a private detective. He is addicted to coffee and is proficient in street scenes and Western criminal investigation. He is the outsider who knows the "rules" best in the concession.
The first case is "Ai Wenyi Road Blood Puzzle". A comprador from Jardine Matheson died in an empty house, and "Revenge" was written in blood on the wall. Detective Hua Yang is vying for credit and passing the blame, and the truth is shrouded in mystery. Only Huo Mingzhe peeled off the cocoons from a copper ring, a car mark, and two deadly pills, and uncovered a blood-and-tear revenge that spanned twenty years and was buried in the salt flats and Suzhou River. From then on, he partnered with retired military doctor Chu Shouzhen and faced the deepest dark side of this bustling city.
