The Criminal Investigation Captain Is the Only Survivor of a Serial Case

Li Xiao is the most stoic criminal investigation captain on the task force, and the sole survivor of the serial “White Candle Case” from seven years ago. An unsolved blood sigil is carved into his right arm. Lu Jin is a newly transferred criminal psychology consultant, carrying a sealed eyewitness statement, with a truth in his eyes colder than any autopsy report. When a fourth corpse is found at the old execution grounds, its wrist wrapped in the same kind of white wax, Li Xiao's nightmare comes back to life. And Lu Jin's file overlaps with that of the second victim, who disappeared all those years ago. One pursues killers with a gun, the other picks apart souls with his mind, yet both hear the same voice in the darkness: You can't escape, Li Xiao.
