Dark Flame

Zhao Zhong, a police officer nearing retirement, takes on a brutal murder case. The killer stuffed the victim's head into the mouth of a stone lion beside a busy street, then left the victim's dismembered body at their home. As the investigation progresses, Zhao Zhong and his colleagues gradually discover that the case is full of suspicious details and seems closely connected to a case Zhao Zhong worked on years ago, the one that has haunted him all his life. The embers of a long-dormant desire for revenge begin to glow deep within Zhao Zhong... Life and death, destruction and rebirth, are separated by a single thought.
