Synopsis
In 1997, Detective He Yuanhang (Pan Yueming) and his young apprentice Ran Fangxu (Dylan Wang) investigate the mysterious disappearance of a father and daughter from the Xu family. The two vanished without a trace from the elevator of a residential complex in Yuanlongli.
The case unfolds across three intertwined timelines -1997, 2002, and 2015. What initially appears to be a possible debt evasion slowly reveals deeper mysteries as time passes. Years later, He Yuanhang's daughter, He Xiaohe (Ren Min), now a police officer, discovers a connection between past events and the Xu family case. Together with her father, she reopens the investigation. As the complex faces demolition in 2015, they seize one last chance to piece together the truth, like a shattered puzzle, across two decades of relentless pursuit.
