Nine Streets and Twelve Alleys: The Hidden Dragon Breaks the Deadlock

Beneath the bustle of Nine Streets and Twelve Alleys lie crimes and convictions known to few. To investigate the disappearance of his elder brother, Huang Ming, Huang Xian goes undercover alone, using the Xianji Building Materials Store as his base. But he is unexpectedly caught up in a shocking conspiracy. Huang Ming was an undercover police officer, and after discovering evidence against the powerful backers and the Four Great Families, he was murdered to silence him. Huang Xian, meanwhile, is maliciously framed and wrongfully imprisoned. After enduring one desperate ordeal after another, he gets help from police officer He Junying and Xie Wenqing, one of his brother's former colleagues. The truth is gradually revealed, and every culprit is brought to justice. Huang Ming's identity is restored, and he is posthumously honored as a martyr, finding peace in the Martyrs' Cemetery. Huang Xian stays on to run the little shop, letting a faint light of justice illuminate every corner of the neighborhood's everyday bustle.
