Lin Shen, a former criminal investigation evidence technician, left the police force after suffering an unjust case and lived in an old appliance repair shop. An old building in the west of the city was demolished, and the remains of an unknown woman who had been buried for eleven years were dug out from under the foundation. There was no missing person report, no family members were looking for him, it was as if this person had never been in this world. There are no cool tricks, no ruthless gangsters, the murderers are hidden among ordinary people. Lin was secretly entrusted by his old colleagues and re-entered the situation as an outsider. Instead of relying on oral confessions, they only grasped the fragments of physical evidence left in the cracks of life, tearing apart the calm mask that a group of ordinary people had maintained for eleven years. When crimes are hidden in daily necessities, and lies are mixed into daily human relationships, what is more chilling than the murder itself is the worldly silence, self-preservation and collective blindness. Chinese-style social suspense focuses on the torture of human nature. The truth is often heavy and justice is belated.
Purpose: to explore the subtleties of human nature behind evil, to uphold delayed justice, and to examine the silence and connivance of ordinary people.
