The Long Night
Created by If Chen, Zi Jin Chen
On iQiyi
A dark, cerebral crime drama about institutional corruption and the personal cost of pursuing truth, where a prosecutor's decade-long obsession unravels both the case and his life.
It was an open shut case with hundred of witnesses seeing the murder suspect trying to dispose of a body and a signed confession from the suspect himself. And yet when the case was ready for court, the prosecutor discovered that the case was not as it appeared. The murder was but a cover for another more shocking injustice. He spent ten years trying to uncover the truth, toiling away his youth, his career, his reputation, his family, and even his life.
