After three beautiful and innocent young girls were killed, each held a small note with the words "One Spring," "February," and "Three Plum Blossoms," adding a mysterious air to the case.

The city of Tangjing was gripped with fear, with rumors flying: some said terrorists from abroad had arrived, killing people in the dead of night; others claimed a maniac had escaped from the city's psychiatric hospital, targeting girls; and a few even imagined a vampire who drank human blood, stalking targets during the day and......
