No One Returns from Fog Harbor

Twenty years ago, Hepu fisherman Shen Wangchuan died in a shipwreck on a typhoon night. The official conclusion was that it was an accident. Twenty years later, his daughter Shen Zhiyi, an investigative reporter for a media in Beijing, received a letter without a sender, which only contained a yellowed old photo and a line of text: "Your father did not die in an accident." She returned to her old house in Hepu after twenty years of absence, and found that the same letter had already been put into a dusty drawer in her father's study. Someone was in the dark, waiting for her to come back. A report material surfaced, and the signature was actually her mother Lin Suqin, who died three years ago - a woman who had been silent all her life, never mentioned her husband, and left only one sentence before her death: "Don't come back to Hepu again." The materials point to Chen Guodong, the former director of Hepu Port Bureau, who is suspected of smuggling, money laundering, and deliberate murder in the shipwreck. On the night of the shipwreck, there was another name on the ship - Zhou Sufen, the only female crew member on the ship. She disappeared from the world afterwards, and her life and death are unknown. The cropped figure in the photo, the snake-shaped ring, the old scar on the wrist, the missing archives clerk... Every clue leads to the same direction: the old Heura Pier. Shen Zhiyi decided to find out. But what she didn't know was that the person who sent the letter might not want to help her. Summary in one sentence: An investigative reporter returns to Fog Harbor to trace the truth behind his father's death, only to discover that his mother has hidden a secret for twenty years and is more silent than death itself.
