Forgotten Testimony

About This Novel
This is a suspenseful psychological novel that explores memory, truth and human nature. The main body of the story is imaginary, and human technology is advanced, creating "memory testimony" to provide evidence for the judicial system. This technology is claimed to be able to restore the last sight of the deceased during his lifetime, becoming the "ultimate" solution to unsolved cases. The protagonist Wen Ci is a prosecutor who specializes in handling memory testimony. He firmly believes that this technology can bring justice to the silent dead. He has taken over countless cases, but this time is different. The memory clearly shows that it was suicide, but the traces at the scene were monitored as murder. As the investigation deepens, Wen Ci gradually falls into a web of tampered memories and carefully woven lies. He discovered that the technology could be faked, edited and even implanted. What is even more surprising is that in the following months, the technicians involved in this incident all encountered "accidents", and their memory testimonies were contaminated to some extent before their deaths. When Wen Ci discovers that he has become the next target, he must rely on other people's stories and his own judgment to piece together the truth while forgetting who he is. So, when our memories are no longer reliable, when the truth can be shaped at will, what else can serve as the anchor of our existence?
