Lin Shen, the archivist of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, discovered a strange dossier numbered 0714 while sorting through dusty old files. The cover has glaring words: This case will never be closed.
This is a perfect unsolved case twelve years ago: Su Wan, a woman living alone, died at home. The scene was as clean as a secret room, leaving only a page of blood-"Waiting". The case had no murderer, no motive, and no traces. Everyone who dealt with the case suffered misfortune, and it was eventually sealed up completely.
Lin Shen accidentally touched it, but saw a line of fresh writing in the file: You are finally here. That night, a warning note was stuffed at the door of my house, and an anonymous phone call pierced my eardrums: It's your turn to wait.
Files disappeared out of thin air, veteran detectives fell silent, insiders died mysteriously one after another, and imitation crimes were staged again. He went deeper and deeper, only to discover that Su Wan's death was not an isolated case, but a revenge that was twelve years late.
The truth that had been covered up back then gradually emerged. The murderer was close at hand, and Lin Shen had already become the next pawn in the chess game.
The old case is not sleeping, it is just waiting for someone to reveal the truth again.
