Strange murders have occurred one after another in the Shanghai concession. The death caused by a lightning strike has yet to be unraveled, and a mysterious man suffers an assassination, dying after writing two lines with his blood in the police station. As the case deepens, public pressure mounts, prompting Detective Chen to investigate. At the same time, his son Chen Tiansheng, who studied in Germany and returned as an interpreter at the police station, shows interest in the case. During the examination of the victim of the lightning strike, Tiansheng discovers clues from a burned piece of clothing and a fragmented photo pulled from the victim's pocket. With the incomplete photo in hand, the father-and-son duo consults Professor Luo, an archaeologist, who informs them that the inscription on the stone in the photo's background is in Mongolian, meaning "Commanded by Heaven, may life be eternal and prosperous." The tomb normally protected by this curse generally contains the burial of a Mongolian khan. Returning from Professor Luo's home, the inference linking the two puzzling murders to the jade seal of Qin Shi Huang is solidified in the minds of the Chen family. Thus, both victims are identified as two of the five tomb raiders in the photo. Upon a second visit to Professor Luo, Detective Chen uncovers a tomb raider named "Wang Huzi," while the attentive Tiansheng seems to have gathered more information. Searching the entire concession for "Wang Huzi," they instead find a dismembered body at his hideout. Faced with the gruesome scene, the arrival of Professor Luo's daughter, Luo Peiqi, alongside Tiansheng causes him to ponder. Three of the five tomb raiders in the photo have already died, and aside from the missing Wang Huzi, the fifth person, securely wrapped in a black veil, remains a mystery. Professor Luo is eager to leave for the U.S. for treatment of his leg ailment. At the farewell dock, the disguised mysterious assassin makes Professor Luo's feigned illness apparent. Both Luo and his daughter are immediately detained. In the Luo family's apartment, gunshots ring out, leading to the deaths of Professor Luo and Wang Huzi, who had infiltrated the household. To exonerate his son's girlfriend Luo Peiqi from charges of defensive homicide, Detective Chen intentionally leaks information to the media, garnering public support and leading to her release without charges. With Professor Luo and Wang Huzi dead, the whereabouts of the jade seal remain unknown. On the day of Professor Luo's burial, amidst a solemn crowd, Tiansheng horrifies everyone by pointing out that the jade seal lies within Professor Luo's coffin. Customary practices of burial do not prevent Tiansheng's obstinacy to open the coffin for verification. Faced with the ironclad truth, the mystery of Luo Peiqi's theft of tomb treasures to protect the national treasure unravels. Justice prevails, true love remains silent, and outside the cold iron bars, Tiansheng waits for Peiqi with a heart full of longing.
