Silent Testimony

Zheng Yidao entered the police force with the ideal of eradicating violence and bringing peace to the people. However, what awaited him was not the bright and smooth road he imagined. In the first murder case he encountered, the evidence at the scene was scrawled, but the interrogation records "perfectly" pointed to a "murderer." When most people around him acquiesced in this "efficient" way of handling cases, Zheng Yidao chose the most difficult path: fighting for evidence. He was like a nail, digging into every overlooked detail, investigating the scene, reviewing the physical evidence, and pursuing clues. He faced not only the cunning real murderer, but also the dissuasion from his colleagues to "don't look for trouble", and even the invisible pressure from some individuals who were eager to close the case. As the truth of each unsolved case was revealed in his hands with a solid chain of evidence, Zheng Yidao also grew from a young newcomer to a senior police officer who truly understood the weight of the word "rule of law." He understood that justice cannot be achieved at the expense of procedural justice and violation of basic human rights. This is not only an interlocking criminal investigation novel, but also a hymn dedicated to all legal professionals who stick to their original aspirations in confusion.
