Killer Constable

In the heart of imperial China, the walls of the Forbidden City conceal a power that can shift the empire’s balance in an instant. When a massive fortune disappears from the royal treasury, the Empress Dowager Cixi issues a stark ultimatum: the treasure must be recovered within ten days, or the very stability of the court will be jeopardized. The decree reverberates through the marble corridors, turning the normally measured rhythm of palace politics into a frantic race against time.

Tasked with the impossible, the empire turns to its most feared enforcer, Leng Tian‑Ying. A chief constable whose legend is built on a simple, ruthless credo—no criminal ever returns alive—he embodies the cold efficiency the throne demands. Leng’s reputation precedes him, and his very presence sends a chill through both officials and outlaws alike, setting the tone for a pursuit that blends strict imperial authority with a grim, almost merciless brand of justice.

To meet the Empress’s demand, Leng assembles a compact cadre of his most reliable men, each bearing their own shadows and loyalties. Among them is his estranged brother Cun Yi, whose reluctance to join reflects a personal conflict that deepens the moral complexity of the mission. The relationships within the squad are strained, balancing brotherly bonds against a professional code that tolerates no hesitation. This inner tension mirrors the external pressure, hinting at a world where loyalty, honor, and survival are constantly at odds.

Across bustling markets, quiet watermills, and forgotten temples, the hunt unfolds with a stark, kinetic energy. The film’s atmosphere is saturated with the clang of steel, the whisper of imperial edicts, and the relentless ticking of the ten‑day deadline. Within this richly textured tapestry, Leng Tian‑Ying must navigate not only the physical chase but also the unforgiving moral landscape of a dynasty where duty can become a blade that cuts both the hunted and the hunter.
