In the seventh year of Chunxi reign in the Southern Song Dynasty, Shen Han, the prosecutor of Lin'an Prefecture's prison, specialized in examining strange corpses. On a rainy night in March, Su Miaozhen, a famous prostitute in Qiantang, died on a painting boat - the doors and windows were locked, and the secret room was self-contained; the body was smiling and her face was purple; withered plums in her hands and poems on the dressing table. Shen Han used pharmacological knowledge to incense and explore the secret passages at the bottom of the ship, and finally solved the mystery of the watertight cabin: the murderer dived in and out, and the rope was wrapped with gray silk thread to tie the monastery monk's robe.
Following the lead to Lingyin Temple, the abbot Wu Xiang confessed to the incense, but it was revealed that Su Miaozhen's real name was Qin Wan'er, and she was Qin Hui's distant niece and the "Meishe" spy. He held a list of thirty-seven people, micro-carved with pearls, and hid it in the bird's eye. She wanted to clear her name and get away, but she was killed. The real culprit turned out to be Shen Han's immediate boss Zhao Dezhao, a member of Qin Hui's remaining party, who used the same method to kill Shen Han's father Shen Qinghe twenty years ago - "drowning" with no water in his lungs. Wu Xiang plotted revenge for twenty years, and finally sank to the bottom of the lake with Zhao Dezhao. Before his death, he entrusted the pearl with his last words, "Your father is very good at swimming."
The list appears, thirty-six people are happy, Shen Han was promoted to the chief register, but he was actually ignored. Three years later, A Yuan opened the "Washing Out Wrongs", and Shen Han carved an inscription on the West Lake dragon bone: "Jingkang's shame has not yet been resolved. The hatred of the ministers, when will it be extinguished." Two more words were added - "Waiting for you". No burial, no washing, just the word "waiting", waiting for the next person who can swim, waiting for the vengeance passed down from generation to generation. The old farmer's son had no water in his lungs and the man in gray robe reappeared, but Shen Han had prepared the scent of plum souls and learned to swim in the deep water of Lin'an, waiting for the remnants of the "Plum Society" to surface.
