Crime is a game between the murderer and the police.
For criminal profiler Shen Du, this is a psychological battle that he cannot afford to lose.
In Haicheng City, a strange "suicide" case in a secret room broke the tranquility of the night. Real estate tycoon Zhao Ruian committed suicide with a gun in a locked study. He died with a pious smile on his face, as if welcoming redemption. The police determined that it was suicide, but Shen Du smelled something unusual from the clues - this was not suicide, but a carefully planned psychological execution. Someone played the role of the most awe-inspiring image in Zhao Ruian's heart, making him willingly pull the trigger.
The head of the crime team, Jiang Li, a tough guy who believes in "justice is fought with fists", intervened forcefully because the case was too bizarre. He couldn't stand Shen Du's armchair psychological analysis, and Shen Du also scorned his rough handling of the case. Two people with completely opposite personalities and worldly experiences were forced to be tied together.
The second and third cases occurred one after another. Every scene is as clean as a stage play, and every dead person is a "sinner" in a certain sense. Shen Du realized that the same murderer stood behind these cases - he called him "Mask". A ghost that can perfectly replicate any personality can become your most trusted person, your most feared ghost, and your most guilty memory within an hour. He is not killing, he is judging.
What sent shivers down Shen Du's spine was that the method used by the murderer was exactly the same as his unpublished research at the time - "Personality Mask Theory".
This "mask", know him. Get to know him. Maybe even just for him.
