Synopsis
A young man is found strangled outside a luxury tower in Yancheng, dressed up for a party, a page with one word laid over his face. Luo Wenzhou, who runs the city's Criminal Investigation Team, takes the case and soon hits money, privilege and corrupt police. Fei Du, head of Fei Corporation, knows more about the killing than he should, and more about Luo's past as well.
