Spoilers ahead
In 1782, 16 years after Nam Sung-jin ascended to the throne as King Jeongjo, a wave of murders unsettles Joseon. King Jeongjo believes the killings may be part of a conspiracy by government officials to mask tributary payments, and he entrusts Detective K, Kim Myung-min, with a secret charge to uncover the truth behind the killings.
When Detective K visits the cell of the jailed city governor, he finds the governor has just been murdered. He produces the murder weapon: a long metal needle jammed into the back of the governor’s head, and a clue appears—remnants of the Wolfsbane flower discovered near the needle. But as Detective K stands with the weapon in hand, prison guards burst in, misreading the scene and arrest him for the governor’s death.
