Mystery in Jiashui

This city has no tales of spring, with its lush grass and singing birds. It lives forever in reality: pounding beats, hurried figures, numb eyes, and fake smiles.

Gu Zhihe is a forensic pathologist. She believes her duty is to tell people what it means to be alive and what it means to be dead, to let the past speak and the dead have their say.

After solving a massacre that wiped out a family in Wengman Village, Jiashui City, fourteen years ago, Gu Zhihe’s father died under mysterious circumstances. Determined to uncover the truth, she returns to Jiashui and vows to clear her father’s name.

Fourteen years ago, Chen Ke worked with Gu Zhihe’s father on the Wengman Village 819 case. Not long after her father died, several people involved in the case were transferred out of Jiashui City. He was among them, but this year he was transferred back. What secrets lie behind that decision?

One mystery after another. What is the truth?
