Shanghai in 1932. Professional killer Gu Duanling used fire to execute executions, and female killer Shen Yuetang used tea ceremony to poison. Two seemingly unrelated assassinations were connected by a pearl earring left in the fire. During the Paramount Silver Dollar Gambling Game, they touched each other's tiger's mouth and confirmed that they were the same kind - their masters died one after another at the hands of the Japanese spy "Chessboard", and the two lines of revenge merged into one.
From living together on Xiafei Road to teaming up to remove seven hidden stakes on the chessboard, the two lonely killers got closer and closer in the darkness. However, the chess player Ying Zuo Zhenzhao forged a divorce letter, making trust on the verge of collapse. On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, under the crabapple tree, she withdrew the poisonous needle in her palm and whispered, "I'm pregnant." He was silent for a long time and answered with four words: "Wash your hands in the golden basin."
Fourteen years. From blocking guns at the pier to Sihang Warehouse, escaping from Taihu Lake to planting trees in Yan'an. On the day the war ended, he buried the scissors he had sharpened for fifteen years under the crabapple tree in his yard in Shanghai. She tore apart sixteen pearls and gave them to three trees.
This is a conspiracy that depends on life, and it is also a crabapple planted in a bomb crater.
