In this enthralling series, the imaginative plots of detective fiction collide with reality in a captivating crime thriller. Lin, a burgeoning detective, delves into a death that echoes a crime from a Sherlock Holmes tale. Initially deemed a likely suicide, the case rapidly escalates into a complex murder investigation where the lines between literary fiction and terrifying reality blur. Simultaneously, Chen Wei, an avid aficionado of detective stories and the proprietor of a bookstore specializing in the genre, chases his aspirations of becoming a celebrated author. Accompanying him, a committed detective club comprised of Zhong, Wen, and Zhang, each harboring personal secrets, navigates the ambiguous boundary between fiction and reality. Chen Wei's drive to clinch a coveted literary prize unwittingly draws him into a murder investigation that Mu Chin Lin is determined to unravel, testing the bonds of friendship and trust within the club. Under the direction of Liao Shih Han, this Taiwanese crime thriller is rife with suspense and complex plot twists. As the investigation deepens, the series skillfully examines the convergence of ambition, secrecy, and the pursuit of truth. The detective club members are put under the microscope, their histories and motivations probed, while Mu Chin Lin methodically assembles a puzzle where the distinctions between the fictional and the real increasingly fade.
