In the troubled times of the Republic of China, the world was turbid, the legal system was dusty, human feelings and power were intertwined into an airtight web, countless unsolved cases were buried, and the truth was buried layer by layer in the noisy and troubled times.
Twenty-seven-year-old Shen Yan is the only detective dedicated to the subtle truth in troubled times. He has a slim and tall figure. He wears a dark gray waisted Western-style gown all year round. The cuffs have old marks. He always carries a magnifying glass, a copper tape measure and a blank writing paper in his left breast pocket. The small utensils are all he relies on to solve the puzzle.
He has a cold and distant temperament, does not understand the sophistication of the officialdom, and disdains human mediation. People in the world tend to follow the trend and pursue profit and power. He can only rely on the residual evidence and clues. Ordinary people look at cases for deceit and power play, but Shen Yan only looks at the rightness of traces and the authenticity of evidence.
The calm and narrow eyebrows hide a gentle and delicate heart. Under the indifferent appearance, there is extreme rigor and stubbornness. The mysterious serial murders, the secrets of the era that were deliberately concealed, and the right and wrong that were tampered with by the power were all revealed through his meticulous inspection inch by inch.
The world is chaotic and turbulent, and all living beings are drifting away. He is the only one who uses his meager skills to explore the subtleties of the world, and upholds justice in the world with his true heart. In a world filled with absurdity and chaos, look for an inch of clear truth.
