A series of murders on a rainy night dragged two people who were originally on parallel lines into the same cordon——
Shen Yanzhi, the city bureau's ace consultant, is famous for his logic as precise as a scalpel, but he is always silent about old case files late at night; Jiang Chi, the newly transferred criminal investigation captain, has astonishing mobility like a prairie fire, and the gun marks on his epaulettes hide the past that no one dares to ask about.
One relied on deduction to outline the outline of the murderer, while the other relied on intuition to pursue clues. The tit-for-tat confrontation when they first met gradually turned into a back-to-back tacit understanding in successive murder cases. When the special knot around the victim's neck coincided with the unsolved case five years ago, Shen Yanzhi's locked drawer was accidentally knocked open by Jiang Chi, and the boy in the yellowed photo smiled dazzlingly - it turned out that they had been bound by the same nightmare.
"Consultant Shen, the secret you hide is colder than the murderer's knife."
"Captain Jiang, is your gun filled with justice or obsession?"
On the way to chase the murderer, suspicion and trust are repeatedly pulled at each other, and the hand handed to him in the dark is hotter than the evidence. When the truth was revealed, they understood: what should be captured most was the surge hidden deep in their hearts that they dared not admit.
Purpose: Focusing on the bond between the two male protagonists in the process of chasing the murderer, explore the "boundary between justice and selfish desires": when the case involves past obsessions, the two must not only fight against external evil, but also face their inner struggle - should they stick to procedural justice, or cross the line for emotion or revenge? In the end, through mutual checks and balances and redemption, it is revealed that "real light comes from the courage to face the darkness, and also from the warmth of walking side by side." This not only highlights the hard-core logic of criminal investigation, but also deepens the complex tension of human nature and emotion.
