Seven people, six rooms, and a slow clock.
The deep mountain hot spring hotel "Migyinzhuang" is surrounded by heavy fog and isolated from the world. Among the residents are former criminal police officers, Internet writers, financial executives, secret room enthusiasts... And a game designer who carries a millisecond time recorder with him.
On the first night, financial executive Su Man died in the secret room. There is a red rope around the neck, no signs of struggle, and no one enters or exits under surveillance. The only clue is that all the clocks in the hotel are twenty-two minutes ahead of the real time.
Everyone's alibi was based on the wrong time. When mobile phones collectively lie about time, and when desk clocks become accomplices of murderers, who is the person who disappears "in twenty-two minutes"?
As a letter from twenty-three years ago was uncovered, an old case that had been deliberately forgotten surfaced. Time is not only the key to solving the case, but also a lie that has lasted for twenty-three years.
The most deadly trick is never to create lies, but to make everyone believe that time itself is lying.
