In January 1996, there was a heavy snowfall in Nanjing. In the wild grass of Huaishugang, a 21-year-old female college student was cut into neat pieces. In the name column of the file, only "Anonymous" could be written.
Ye Zhengsheng was twenty-four years old that year and had been in the industry for less than two years. He followed the old captain Zhao De to investigate for three months, visited more than 3,000 people, and went through the city's missing files. Finally, he watched the case of mutilated corpses stamped as "unsolved case" and locked in the deepest part of the archives room. But the case can be locked in, but the shadow cannot - it has followed Ye Zhengsheng for eighteen years.
Bones under the river bed, disappearances under the manhole covers, gunfire on the Mekong River, drugs coming across the border, a 600 million pension scam, skeletons buried under the playground for 16 years... A series of seemingly unrelated cases were slowly put together in Ye Zhengsheng's hands, and ultimately pointed to the same person. And that person has been waiting for him.
