During the crackdown in 1993, Jiangcheng police officer Gao Qiang encountered the most bizarre murder in his career:
Du San, the boss of an underground casino, was stabbed twenty-seven times and died in a secret room. A blood note was left on the wall, "Public Security Dog, You Are Next."
When the only person who surrendered died violently in the detention center, his investigating partner was shot dead by a "stolen gun", and the key ledgers in the evidence room mysteriously disappeared,
Gao Qiang suddenly realized that the murderer was standing behind him in police uniform and saluting.
As the crackdown on crime deepens, Sange Casino has been transformed into a commercial building, and state-owned enterprises have been restructured to hide money laundering networks.
The "shadow" who controls all this is actually the young reform star Chen Mo.
When legal documents become power playthings, and fangs grow on the back of the police badge,
Gao Qiang had to personally dissect his beliefs on the way to chase the murderer:
"We destroyed the underworld, but we created a more ferocious monster - it wears a suit and sits under the spotlight on the rostrum."
This life-and-death game spanning ten years,
It's not just a confrontation between police and criminals;
It is also a brutal exchange of blood between idealists and the shadow of the system.
When the files were burned in the flames of the chemical plant,
Someone saw two shadows rising from the ashes——
One is wearing handcuffs, the other is holding a gun,
And their faces were exactly the same in the firelight.
