Qin Zhuo is a former criminal investigation expert who was falsely accused of being a suspect in a series of arson cases. He turned from a law enforcer to a wanted criminal overnight. All physical evidence was burned, and there was no surveillance. Only Jiang Jin—the partner who once solved the case with him but was now as silent as a razor—stands opposite him holding a list of undisclosed evidence. In the light of the fire, Qin Zhuo heard Jiang Jin say: "What you burned was the truth, not the evidence." The two of them changed from pursuers and fugitives to lone blades tearing apart lies in the darkness. When the key to the old case from twenty years ago emerged from the ashes of the evidence, they realized that what was burned in the fire was not evidence, but a scapegoat carefully laid by someone.
