In the 17th year of the Republic of China, Shanghai Beach.
This is Paris of the East, a paradise for adventurers and a hotbed of crime.
The whistle of the Huangpu River never ceases day and night, witnessing the revelry of life in the ten-mile foreign market, and also hiding countless unknown darkness and secrets.
He is Shen Xingye, a top student in the Department of Chemistry at Cornell University in the United States, who studied under a master of toxicology. He is cold and aloof, has a sharp tongue, and believes in absolute rationality and logic. In order to find out the truth behind his mentor's mysterious death, he returned to his hometown where he had been away for ten years and became a criminal forensics specialist in the patrol room of the French Concession. He uses a microscope to examine human nature and uses chemical formulas to decipher conspiracies. He is an out-and-out "scientific detective."
He is Huo Zhenxiao, the top detective of the French Concession Patrol Room and a former French Army officer. He has extraordinary skills, acts in an eclectic way, and even has a bit of a "ruffian" attitude. He believes in fists and intuition, and is the most capable "reckless man" in the patrol room, but he has a headache with complex logical reasoning.
A series of bizarre "secret room murder cases", "headless ghost cases", "disappearing code cases"... Were staged one after another in the bustling Shanghai Beach.
When a rational scientific genius meets a wild activist detective, when Shen Xingye's "brain" meets Huo Zhenxiao's "fist", how will this pair of "happy enemies" who are forced to partner up in a confusing and troubled world clear away the layers of fog and hit the truth?
Behind the unraveling of each bizarre case, the truth behind the death of mentor Shen Xingye and the secrets hidden by the Huo Zhenxiao family in troubled times gradually surfaced like puzzle pieces.
