Sui Xingyun's brother turned into a vegetative state during the undercover operation.
Police number 163782 is pinned to Sui Xingyun's collar. He has never taken it off. For three years, he kept all his warmth in that metal plate and gave it to no one.
The provincial department sent a criminal psychology expert who was gentle, professional and impeccable. He helped Sui Xingyun solve the case, blocked his punches, and handed him a cup of coffee that was barely hot when he was most tired. For the first time, Sui Xingyun brought someone closer - just a little.
But Jiang Lin didn't say that he was an undercover police agent.
He didn't say that his approach to Sui Xingyun was a mission at the beginning.
Seven murders. Bullying and revenge, female corpses on display windows, corpse-burning stand-ins, AI suicide, human specimens, and missing babies. Each one points to the same organization - the Free Empire. Each incident made Sui Xingyun take one more step forward, and also brought him one step closer to the lies of those around him.
His best friend is the insider. The person he loves is a liar. Every clue he pursues has been touched by someone before him.
Everyone lies to him. But everyone told the truth in the end.
It's just that when you say some words, it's already too late.
"Don't lie to me." - This is the closest thing to "I love you" that Sui Xingyun ever said.
"It didn't happen anymore." - This was the only truth Chu Feng didn't lie about.
Intention: Freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but having the confidence not to do anything.
