Synopsis

[edit]

Detective He Yuanhang (Pan Yueming) and his apprentice Ran Fangxu (Dylan Wang) investigate the mysterious disappearance of a father and daughter from the Xu family. In 1997, the two vanished without a trace at the elevator of a residential complex in Yuanlongli. Ran initially concludes the case as a staged debt evasion. However, in 2006, the father's body is unexpectedly discovered, disproving their earlier conclusion.

Almost a decade later, He Yuanhang’s daughter, He Xiaole (Ren Min), now a police officer, discovers a connection between past events and the Xu family case. Together with her father, they reopen the investigation and, on the eve of the complex's demolition, finally uncover the true culprit and bring them to justice.[2]
