Before his death, his father left a message: "Black writing on the paper, page number zero."
Shen Yan is a reporter for the "Delta Times" in Linjiang City. Three years ago, his father died in a one-way accident that was characterized as "drowsy driving." He had accepted this conclusion until late one night, when he returned to the place where his father's accident occurred and found that the seal at the scene was new.
A suppressed manuscript, a scrapped car whose chassis number had been cleaned, and a dispatch stub with "No. 0" Written on it - Shen Yan traced the interview route of his father's partner, Lao Ma, from the scrapyard to the metal processing plant, from the cut steel plates to the altered police registration records. Every clue points to the same person, but at every critical step, someone is there one step ahead of him.
