A series of murders occurred suddenly on a rainy night, and young female painters died tragically one after another. The scene where the bodies were dumped had a strange ritual and was so clean that no trace was left. Dark green garbage bags, cold double sets of lilac knots, and mysterious mine dyes in the gaps between fingernails. Every murder case silently points to a dark past that has been buried for twenty years.
Lin Weiwan, the deputy captain of criminal investigation, calmly entered the situation, but during the investigation, she was shocked to find that the knot used by the murderer completely overlapped with the kidnapping case she had witnessed in her childhood. On one side, there are serial killings without clues, and on the other side, there are lingering childhood nightmares. She works side by side with Lu Chen, a forensic doctor who is taciturn and can break the mystery of corpses. They go from the glamorous city to the abandoned mining area, from the art studio to the dusty old case, and step into the abyss.
As the investigation deepens, seven missing oil paintings, cyanide stolen ten years ago, the truth about the mining disaster that was deliberately covered up on the southwest border, and the skeletons of 27 miners who were buried alive surfaced one after another. All victims are not innocent, all killings are revenge, and all clues lead her to a huge shadow that spans powerful businessmen, controls life and death, and covers up crimes for twenty years.
The murderer uses killing to stop evil and uses crime to prove guilt; she uses the police as a blade and the law as a lamp.
When the inner ghost is hiding in his heart, when the threat reaches his life, when the truth is far more terrifying than killing, Lin Weiwan finally understands: this serial murder case is never the end, but a truth bet set up for her and forcing her to break it.
The abyss is lurking on the side, and evil is lurking.
Bodies will rot, evidence will lie, but silent testimony will never die.
As long as the truth remains alive, justice will eventually break through the darkness and let all the dead souls rest in peace.
