A murder case occurred in the old city of the Shanghai French Concession. At the crime scene, besides the deceased Uncle Cai, there was also the injured and unconscious Shanghai Huasheng Broadcasting announcer, Lan Miaoru. Lan Miaoru is blind and has long rented a room in Uncle Cai's house, frequently interacting with him. After the murder, Inspector Chen Hengli took his son Chen Tiansheng to the scene for investigation. Based on the results of the scene examination and Lan Miaoru's memories upon waking, Tiansheng concluded that the murderer must be two people, with Lan Miaoru as the "witness."
Lan Miaoru is the idol of Inspector Chen's wife. After being discharged from the hospital, she was taken to Chen's home and placed in her son Tiansheng's room. From Lan Miaoru's reactions during meals and her demeanor in the dark, Tiansheng felt there was something off about her as the "witness." Once she felt a little better, she returned to work at the radio station, and with the media's attention, Lan Miaoru urged the two murderers to turn themselves in.
Media coverage aroused the ire of the murderers Jiang Tao and Leopard, and brought danger to Lan Miaoru. Under the moonlight, upon returning to Uncle Cai's apartment, Lan Miaoru was attacked, leaving the body of Fang Wenhua, who was running an underground casino beneath the apartment. The case concerning Uncle Cai had yet to progress, and with Fang Wenhua's murder, there were signs left at the scene indicating the same perpetrator, putting pressure on the father-son detective duo.
Fang Wenhua's death prompted greater suspicion from Tiansheng towards Lan Miaoru. Visiting her, he discovered that Miaoru's father was a loyal and patriotic architect who was murdered a decade ago over a disaster relief fund. As Tiansheng's investigation and reasoning got closer to the truth, murders continued to occur, involving Liang Xiufeng, Leopard, and Jiang Tao, all of whom were connected to the disaster relief fund mentioned by Lan Miaoru.
Through meticulous investigation and scientific reasoning, Tiansheng decisively closed the case and apprehended Lan Miaoru, who had orchestrated Uncle Cai's murder and personally killed Fang Wenhua, Liang Xiufeng, and Jiang Tao. It turned out that ten years ago, Lan Miaoru's father was killed by contractors led by Uncle Cai while protecting the disaster relief fund, leaving the young Lan Xiaoyu blind due to injuries. Five years ago, Lan Xiaoyu regained her sight, adopted the name Lan Miaoru, and sought revenge, planning the murders. With the case's truth revealed, Lan Miaoru committed suicide by poison in prison, leaving people to deeply contemplate loyalty, revenge, and crime, as well as a longing for her "Beautiful Life" program.
