The Truth on Pointe

Lu Chen, the best pedicurist in Huaizuo City, was born with weak fingers and could not hold a scalpel, but he could "read" all kinds of things in the world with his hands. Twelve years ago, the parents of an investigative journalist died in an "accidental" car accident, leaving behind an unpublished report and a last word: "Look at your feet." Twelve years later, six people involved in the medical accident began to die mysteriously one after another - the real estate developer, the attending doctor, the equipment dealer... The soles of each person's feet were accurately cut open, using Lu Chen's original knife technique, and they had all had their feet trimmed at his shop before they died. Lu Chen became the most perfect suspect, but also the most sober stalker. As the investigation deepens, he discovers that the murderer is not seeking revenge, but silencing; the "victim" Sun Xiulan who was supposed to die on the operating table may have never died; and Shen Qing, the orthopedic surgeon who approaches him on the initiative, is stepping on the chess game his mother has laid out for twelve years every step of the way. The round old scar on the sole of the foot, the iron shoe clip in the basement of Renji Hospital, the altered blood type wristband... All clues point to a subversive truth: the avenger you thought was the participant in the accident that year; the victim you thought was the chess player who manipulated everything. Feet don't lie, people do. When Lu Chen finally holds the knife called "Truth", he must choose - whether to cut off the enemy's feet or cut off his own obsession.
