In a small shop called "Restored Objects" in the old alley of Rongcheng, there is a restorer named Su Wan who can make old objects "speak".
Burnt black old photo albums, old pocket watches that have been idle for many years, broken silver longevity locks... With her hands, not only can they be restored to their original appearance, but they can also be unearthed secrets hidden in the lines, wear, and secret marks that have been buried by time.
Until that day, Lu Chen, a trace examiner from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment, knocked on her store door, holding a movement with a theft code hidden in his hand.
He has seen traces of countless crime scenes, but this is the first time he has seen someone who can read a person's life from a piece of broken wood.
One can dig clues from old things, and the other can uncover the truth based on traces.
Two people who had nothing in common have become the most tacit partners.
A series of small cases related to old objects connect the past. The fire that burned everything in Su Wan's childhood, and the case of the disappearance of his senior sister that Lu Chen has been obsessed with for three years all point to the same truth that has been covered up by time.
Lu Chen said: "I am responsible for catching the people hiding in the darkness, and you are responsible for making the silent old things speak."
Later, he said, "Su Wan, I will accompany you to mend the wounds in the past, and I will accompany you on the road ahead."
The broken old things have been repaired, and the frozen past has been covered up.
You are the most perfect light I have picked up on the road of picking up light.
