Twenty years have locked the soul in the cold pond, and a city full of lies has been covered with blood.
The case of drowning in a cold pond at the back of Mujia Village has long been concluded by the world.
The young man Mu Fengyun stole public property, had bad conduct, was ashamed and stumbled, and deserved what he deserved.
The whole village kept silent, the powerful were cleared, the murderer was famous for half his life, and the deceased was buried at the bottom of the pond with a stigma.
Only a lingering obsession persists, trapped in the old house in the mountains, enduring all the cold nights.
Foreign writer Su Qing returns to her old home, stumbles into a dusty old case, encounters the ghosts of Yin and Yang, and tears apart the rotten facade of the entire mountain village.
Old letters hide grievances, old houses hide evidence, ponds hide evil, and human hearts hide evil.
When the decent village sage is a bloodthirsty murderer, when the whole village is an accomplice.
She went retrograde alone, confronting the powerful, breaking through lies, and uncovering the bloody truth that had been sealed for twenty years.
Purpose: Lies will never dissipate on their own, and collective silence is also evil
The whole village concealed the crime for profit and fear, and the silence of the people allowed the crime to continue for twenty years. The evil of mediocrity is hidden among ordinary people. Watching with cold eyes and deliberately concealing it are also the driving forces of tragedy.
