A murder case occurs in the old town of the Shanghai French Concession. At the crime scene, besides the deceased Uncle Cai, there is the injured and unconscious Shanghai Huasheng Broadcasting Station 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, Detective Chen Henry takes his son Chen Tiansheng to investigate the scene. Based on the investigation results and Lan Miaoru's memories after waking up, Tiansheng deduces that there should be two murderers and that Lan Miaoru is the "witness." Lan Miaoru is an idol of Detective Chen's wife. After being discharged from the hospital, Lan Miaoru is picked up by Mrs. Chen and arranged to stay in her son Tiansheng's room. Based on her reactions during meals and her expressions in the dark, Tiansheng feels that there might be some issues with Lan Miaoru as the "witness." Once she feels slightly better, she returns to work at the radio station and, with the concern of the media reporters, persuades the two murderers to confess. Media reports provoke the anger of the killers Jiang Tao and Leopard, and also bring danger to Lan Miaoru. Under the moonlight, upon returning to Uncle Cai's apartment, Lan Miaoru is attacked, leaving the body of Fang Wenhua, who was running an illegal casino below the apartment, at the scene. The investigation into Uncle Cai's case does not progress, and Fang Wenhua is murdered as well, with evidence indicating the same person is responsible, putting pressure on the father-son detectives. Fang Wenhua's death leads Tiansheng to have even greater doubts about Lan Miaoru. When visiting her, Tiansheng discovers that Miaoru's father was a loyal and patriotic architectural designer who was murdered ten years ago over a disaster relief fund. As Tiansheng's investigation and reasoning get closer to the truth, more murders happen; Liang Xiufeng, Leopard, and Jiang Tao, all related to the disaster relief fund mentioned by Lan Miaoru, are successively killed. After meticulous investigation and scientific reasoning, Tiansheng decisively closes the case and captures Lan Miaoru, who orchestrated the murder of Uncle Cai and personally killed Fang Wenhua, Liang Xiufeng, and Jiang Tao. It turns out that ten years ago, after Lan Miaoru's father was killed by Uncle Cai's gang for protecting the disaster relief funds, the young Lan Xiaoyu was blinded. Five years ago, Lan Xiaoyu regained her sight, assumed the name Lan Miaoru, and sought revenge, planning the murders. As the truth of the case is revealed, Lan Miaoru commits suicide by poisoning in prison, leaving behind profound reflections on loyalty, revenge, and crime, and an everlasting longing for the "Beautiful Life" program hosted by Lan Miaoru.
