Gangshan Jing

Sergeant Tak (Anthony Wong) must track down a serial killer whose victims are starved, mutilated, and killed, and weighing exactly 70 pounds. The victims have an unexplainable link to a TV show which runs a beauty contest called "Slim Queen", where they appear as contestants. The plot thickens as Sergeant Tak and his wife, Ling, an ex-detective herself, race to find the murderer before more contestants end up dead. (imdb)

The film is set in the 1940s, and starts with a strange murder in a beautiful Jiangnan river delta. At the scene, all that is left is an exquisite pair of embroidered shoes. An innocent seamstress is suspected and put to death, but the bloody murders do not stop. (imdb)
