六扇门之双面人

In the fictionalized world of the Six Doors, an elite secret police organization, detective Shen Yexi must unravel a series of bizarre murders. The victims are found with their faces grotesquely mutated, leading Shen to believe a supernatural or extraordinarily skilled killer is at play. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into the highest echelons of power and forces him to confront a shadowy figure known as the 'Double-Faced Man'.
