Side of Silence

On a winter night in Haicheng, the fog is so thick that it hangs over the streets like a thick cloth. Lawyer Ye Zhixing received an unexpected call for help. The caller was Qi Hang, his client three years ago. On the phone, Qi Hang spoke in a hurried tone, claiming that he had gotten into "trouble more serious than a criminal case." Before he could explain, there was a sudden sound of brakes and a muffled sound in the background, and the call was immediately disconnected. That night, Ye Zhixing rushed to Qi Hang's residence, but only saw his cold body and a piece of paper tightly clutched in his hand - there were three words written on it: Don't believe her. At the same time, cafe owner Lin Yilan accidentally saw a person who should not have appeared on the street on the night of the crime. The man's behavior made her feel nervous, but she chose to keep silent; college student Zhou Yuchen had a brief conversation with the deceased on the same night, but found himself the biggest suspect the next day; psychiatrist Xu Jingshu's patient had said before the crime that he "wanted someone to disappear," but the medical record was missing a page at the critical moment. Different testimonies, conflicting details, gaps in memory and deliberate concealment push everyone into the same vortex like an invisible hand. The truth seems to be close at hand, but also like a blind spot blocked by something. In this seemingly peaceful city, everyone has a side that they don't want to be seen. Some people want to use silence in exchange for safety, some people use lies to cover up their fears, and some people try to use the truth to redeem themselves. However, when the last piece of the puzzle is put back into place, everyone will find that the thing in the blind spot is not light, but a shadow that cannot be seen directly.
