His lover bought a gun for the killing of her husband, Wang, and he keeps it for her without using it. Wang keeps watch on the two of them. Instead of acting himself, he offers a patrol officer named Zhang money to murder his wife and her lover. Zhang accepts the task, and to Wang the plan looks flawless.
