Both detectives rely on the female informant Sheung-Guan Jing-jing (Josephine Lam) for relevant information and tip-offs in criminal cases, however, she is in love with Pei Yi-fei and would often give him first preference. The two detectives also have a good friend in the doctor Song Hien (Sam Kam Kwok-wai) and seek his assistance in autopsies, poisons and treatments.
When a mysterious woman Mak Gok-yi (Fiona Leung) arrives in the town and opens a wine bar and lounge, the three friends fall in love with her. Mak Gok-yi only shows interest in Pei Yi-fei, so Song Hien retreats but Chun-Yu Zi-hong continues to seek her affections. Chun-Yu Zi-hong grows angry, jealous and envious of Pei Yi-fei and seeks to destroy him. Pei Yi-fei's younger sister Pei Ling (Yiu Cheng-ching) is in love with Chun-Yu Zi-hong and would not listen to her brother's warnings about Chun-Yu Zi-hong.
Song Hien assists the widow Tai Mu-lan (Betsy Cheung Fung-nei) and her young daughter, then begins a relationship with Mu-lan.

As Li Longji is the new Emperor, Chun-Yu Zi-hong flees the palace to join the Ghost Gang led by the Golden Demon King (Yip Tin-hung). Chun-Yu Zi-hong continues to deal with Pei Yi-fei and kills Song Hien, and indirectly kills Pei Yi-fei's sister Pei Ling. Pei Yi-fei is devastated over her death and vows revenge.
