"The brake line was not broken... Someone cut it."
On the day he was banned from the industry, enterprise risk investigator Jiang Xu lost his job and was saddled with huge compensation. He had no choice but to return to Linjiang City and prepare to sell the junk shop left by his late father.
Before closing the door, he came across a bloody takeout helmet, but a stranger's voice rang in his ears.
From that moment on, Jiang Xu discovered that he could hear the remaining "echoes" in the lost objects - a sentence that he didn't have time to finish, a memory that was buried, and a secret that only the person involved knew.
But echoes are not evidence, and memories may not be the truth.
In order to clear his name and find out the real reason why his father died in a warehouse fire eight years ago, Jiang Xu reopened the thrift store and formed an investigative partner with female lawyer Xu Zhiyao.
Delivery worker accidents, pension scams, demolition and arson, medical shady, tens of billions of corporate fraud...
They restored the echoes into evidence that could be sent to court, but gradually came across a secret project called "Lighthouse".
It can use data to find the most vulnerable people, manipulate their debts, desires, fears, and even change the fate of entire cities.
Jiang Xu always thought that his father was the victim killed by the "Lighthouse".
Until he found the original list of creators of the project——
The father's name was impressively ranked first.
In the fire eight years ago, was someone trying to kill him to silence him, or was his father destroying evidence of his crime?
