Description:

"Detective vs. Sleuths" plunges into a thrilling narrative when an enigmatic assassin, dubbed Super Sleuth, executes a killer from a three-decade-old cold case. Announcing his mission to deliver personal justice to other elusive murderers, this vigilante challenges the very foundation of law enforcement. The police, viewing this as a direct affront to their authority, assign their sharpest detective, Wang Zhenfeng, to team up with the legendary retired super sleuth, Uncle Xiangyun.

Their urgent task is to meticulously re-examine long-dormant cold cases, aiming to uncover the culprits before Super Sleuth can strike again. However, as a succession of cleverly executed murders unfolds, each mirroring Super Sleuth's signature style, Wang Zhenfeng grows increasingly suspicious, questioning Uncle Xiangyun's true identity and possible connections. The film escalates into an intense battle of wits, where the three formidable super sleuths—the elusive assassin, the determined police detective, and the enigmatic former investigator—engage in a dangerous psychological cat-and-mouse game, all racing against time before the next execution.
