"The Girl in the Fog" is adapted from the world-selling thriller of the same name. In a foggy mountain town, Vogel, a puzzling detective, is investigating the disappearance of 16-year-old Anna Lu. As the investigation process turned into a media storm, the line between good and evil between the police and criminals began to become blurred, making everyone the number one suspect.
A murder case a few years ago made Detective Fogel famous-in order to quickly solve the case, Fogel trapped Romeo, the suspect at the time, causing Romeo to be imprisoned and awaiting trial for 4 years under the voice of public opinion. For a long time, although Romeo was eventually acquitted and received a large amount of compensation, the damage to prison could not be compensated. On the contrary, Fogel received a lot of attention.
A few years later, one winter night, in a small town at the foot of the Alps, heavy fog caused a traffic accident. A car crashed and the driver was unscathed, but his body was stained with spots of blood. This man was Detective Fogel.
It turns out that just a few days ago, a 16-year-old girl named Anna Lou in the town disappeared for no reason, and it was Fogel, who was in charge of investigating the case.
This time, Fogel repeated his old tricks, once again using inconclusive evidence and media pressure to direct all the spearheads at Martini, a middle school literature teacher who had just moved to town for less than half a year. Soon, what happened to Romeo that year was repeated on Martini. His wife, daughter, neighbors, etc. all began to suspect that Martini really kidnapped Anna Lou, but he himself always claimed to be. Don't know her.
Just when Martini, who was in the detention center, tried every means to get rid of his charge, another clue helped him miraculously: a senior reporter broke the news that it happened in this small town 30 years ago. In six similar cases, red-haired and freckled girls disappeared in the town for no reason. This unexpected clue caused a sensation in the media again, and everyone began to believe that Martini was innocent and that the "true murderer" was someone else.
When the "true murderer" got in touch with Fogel secretly, Fogel began to hesitate whether he should return the Martini to his innocence, or conceal the truth in order to save himself. But anyway, the real mastermind of all this is silently watching Vogel get deeper and deeper.
