On December 19, 1994, Shanghai police were called to the famous Obsidian Mansion. A bizarre black structure that businessman Gu Yonghui bought to fulfill a promise to his young son - to live in a fairy-tale castle. The house was filled with a suffocating aroma of perfume. The owner's room was hastily painted red. But most importantly - five corpses on the floor. In front of the police, Gu Yonghui, in a bloody robe, locked himself in his room and ... disappeared. And five minutes later he was caught ... five kilometers from the crime scene. Despite the impossible nature of his escape, Gu Yonghui was found guilty and placed in a psychiatric clinic, where he committed suicide.
Twenty years later, his son invites a group of experts to the mansion. A psychiatrist, a forensic psychologist, an illusionist, a physicist and a captain of the criminal investigation department have gathered here to re-investigate this mysterious mass murder. And along with them is the brilliant eccentric mathematician Chen Jue, who has repeatedly proven that mathematical methods are very effective in solving crimes. He is convinced that the key to the solution lies in the strange fairy tale that Gu Yunhui wrote before his death...
