Qin Jiao, a rookie policewoman newly assigned to the criminal investigation squad, believes the law can dispel every darkness in the world.
Until one bizarre case after another lands on her desk:
a spouse who poisons with tender affection, a dismemberment killer who uses dissociation as a cover to escape punishment, a string of disappearances hidden beneath the cloud-wreathed mountains for over a decade...
Everyone wears a kindly face, while malice lurks in the ordinary bustle of daily life.
Once, she followed senior officers, picking up clues and learning step by step how to unravel the mysteries;
now Qin Jiao takes charge of major cases alone, wielding deduction like a blade to tear away everyone's disguises.
Bloodstains, lies, battered case files, bones buried out of sight.
At last, she glimpses the true face of all the evil concealed beneath the ordinary masks people wear.
Amid life's countless comings and goings, evil is never absent;
in her uniform, justice will never yield.
