Description
When Inspector Chen Cao agrees to do a translation job for a Triad-connected businessman, he is given a laptop and a 'little secretary' to provide for his every need. There are no strings attached, or so it seems.
A murder report soon follows, and Sergeant Yu takes charge of the investigation. The victim, a middle-aged teacher, has been found dead in her tiny room in a converted multi-family house. With no clear motive, the case appears to be unsolvable. However, when Chen returns and starts to investigate the past, he uncovers clues that lead him to the truth.
As Chen delves deeper into the case, he faces troubles of his own. A complex web of secrets and lies begins to unravel, threatening to destroy everything he thought he knew about his life and his work.
