Ning Jingshu never thought that she would go from the defense table to the suspect's table.
Before the blood of Chen Jianguo's murder case had dried, a kitchen knife exactly like hers had been nailed to the cross. Qi Guanlan, deputy captain of the criminal investigation detachment, handcuffed her into the interrogation room, but in the light blue pupils behind her gold-rimmed glasses, he saw the same loneliness as his own.
The massacre was just the prologue. The betrayal of former classmates, the secret files of anti-narcotics undercovers, the looming ghosts within the police force... The murders that occurred one after another were like a carefully woven web, entangling Tranquility more and more tightly. In order to prove her innocence, she had to work side by side with Qi Guanlan - from the confrontation in the interrogation room to chasing the murderer on a rainy night, from mutual suspicion to life and death.
They draw close in the gap between lies and truth, warming themselves in the shadow of the blade and the muzzle of the gun. Qi Guanlan thought that when everything was over, she would finally be able to hold the hands that always made waves in the court.
But the conspiracy goes deeper than justice.
When the final mystery was revealed before dawn, when all crimes were about to be judged, the woman who was always like the warm sun on winter nights fell down one second before the truth was revealed.
——It turns out that Ning Jingshu was the pawn destined to be sacrificed in this chess game from the very beginning.
"Officer Qi, if I am not the murderer, but someone wants me to be the murderer - then this person must know me very well."
"I know you so well... I must let you die."
