Since 1922, there has been a legend in Hulan about a masked female warrior named "Hulan Daxia" who specializes in killing bullies. Thirteen years later, the legend is still circulating, but it has already become a name that everyone can use - revenge, silencing, framing, and eradicating dissidents. Eight unsolved cases are all attributed to this name, and the truth is buried layer by layer.
Suspense author Lin Mo was accidentally electrocuted while sorting out old files of the Puppet Manchukuo, and his soul transformed into a trainee patrolman at the Hulan Puppet Police Station. I wanted to survive in a low profile, but I saw a flaw at a glance at the scene of the first murder: the bloody words "Hulan Daxia" on the wall were completely inconsistent with the direction of the force of the knife. The sincerity engraved in his bones made him destined to be unable to close his eyes and pretend to be confused.
Using the logic of modern criminal investigation, he peeled off the cocoon and crashed into this small town with surging undercurrents: Shen Xiaoshan, the avenger who was burdened with the blood feud of annihilating his family, walked alone in the snowy night and only killed the people who deserved to be killed; Zhang Bingkun, the director of the Smiling Tiger, used the "Search for Heroes" In the name of corruption, he perverts the law and silences dissidents; the medicine shop owner Chen Jisheng heals the wounded and helps in troubled times, hiding a bigger chess game than personal hatred; the old patrolman Wang Shouyi pretends to be deaf and mute for twenty years, and finally puts his fingerprints on the old account book.
Eight murder cases, four groups of real murderers, everyone used the name of "hero" to cover up their shame. On a night when the city was closed due to heavy snow, personal hatred and national hatred collided at the crossing of the Hulan River. Lin Mo saw all the truth clearly, but also faced the most difficult decision: after knowing the answer, which side do you stand on.
This is not a martial arts legend about pleasure and revenge. It writes about how legends are created, borrowed, and distorted, about ordinary people who stick to the bottom line in troubled times, and about a bystander from the future who, in an era that cannot be reversed, has done everything he can with his sobriety and conscience.
