Every time I open the door, I arrive at the crime scene

Luo Jingyao is a retired competitive athlete who returned to her hometown of Jinshi City to live a quiet life running a flower shop. However, her peace is disrupted by recurring episodes where her consciousness involuntarily transports her into crime scenes, allowing her to witness events as a spectral observer. After a previous vision revealed a buried hand in a forest that matched an unsolved missing persons case, she begins to suspect her ability is linked to real crimes. Her life changes further when she accepts a job as a physical trainer for the Jinshi Public Security Bureau’s Special Case Investigation Unit, a team of elite but physically weak officers led by the sharp and calculating Captain Lin Jiafan.

The narrative intensifies when Luo Jingyao’s visions escalate from passive observation to active involvement. During one episode, she witnesses a man placing a severed human finger into a refrigerator, an event that coincides with a new brutal murder case resembling the infamous 6/13 serial killings from two years prior. The original killer, Huang Guojun, was executed recently, but his mother, Huang Guifen, protests outside the police station, claiming her son was innocent and alleging that the new murders are connected to the old case. Luo Jingyao intervenes to stop Huang Guifen from committing suicide with a fruit knife, displaying combat skills that surprise everyone, including Captain Lin.

Lin Jiafan, suspicious of Luo Jingyao’s sudden appearance and her knowledge of case details, begins to investigate her. He confronts her late at night, revealing that he knows she visited Huang Guifen’s home. Luo Jingyao admits to apologizing but hides the truth about her visions. The investigation reveals that the new killer is a left-handed copycat, distinct from the right-handed Huang Guojun, though the methods are eerily similar. A suspect named Ma Hongtang is apprehended after being caught fleeing a crime scene, but he claims to be an innocent homeless man who stumbled upon the body.

As the story progresses, Luo Jingyao’s role shifts from a passive observer to an active participant in the investigation. She uses her unique ability to gather crucial evidence, such as noticing hidden letters at Huang Guifen’s residence that suggest the woman knows more than she admits. Lin Jiafan, recognizing her value, enlists her help in undercover operations, including a mission at a spa where Huang Guifen works. The tension between Luo Jingyao’s supernatural burden and the police’s rational investigation creates a complex dynamic, with Lin Jiafan constantly testing her loyalty and motives.

The core conflict revolves around the identity of the copycat killer and the potential connection to the unresolved 6/13 case. Luo Jingyao must navigate her dual life as a flower shop owner and an unofficial investigator while dealing with the psychological toll of her visions. The narrative hints at a deeper conspiracy involving the police force and the original case, with Huang Guifen’s protests serving as a distraction from the true culprit. As the investigation deepens, Luo Jingyao and Lin Jiafan form an uneasy alliance, combining her intuitive insights with his investigative expertise to uncover the truth behind the serial murders.

The story moves toward a climax where the boundaries between Luo Jingyao’s visions and reality blur. She realizes that her ability to witness crimes is not just a curse but a tool that can help catch the killer. The narrative sets the stage for a confrontation with the copycat, who is likely still at large, and the revelation of secrets surrounding the original 6/13 case. Luo Jingyao’s journey from a retired athlete seeking peace to a key figure in solving brutal crimes defines the arc, as she confronts the darkness within her city and her own past.
