Xiao Jin, a new recruit in the Special Investigation Unit, and his senior colleague, Old Li, are assigned to investigate a recent case in which a married couple were murdered.

As a result, the downstairs resident, who discovered the scene and had a history of romantic disputes with the couple, became the prime suspect.
