A series of murders in Chenghai City has torn apart the tranquility of the biotechnology town - there is a mysterious amber left next to the victims, and the prehistoric creatures in it have a strange correspondence with the identity of the deceased. Chen Yan, the leader of the serious crime team, led his team to investigate. He was demoted for misdiagnosing the "Amber Case" five years ago and knew that this was no ordinary murder case.
The team assembled former biological researcher Su Tang, forensic doctor Wei, and young police officer Lin Ye. With professional skills such as toxin analysis, ancient DNA extraction, and three-dimensional modeling, they struggled to advance amid the confidentiality barriers to scientific research and the crisis of public trust. The clues point directly to the "Pandora Project" of the multinational company "Trace Biotechnology" - using prehistoric toxins in amber to develop biological weapons.
As the investigation deepens, the shadow of the old case five years ago emerges, and the truth about Su Tang's father's "suicide out of fear of crime" is intertwined with the core of the case. When the logic of criminal investigation collides with cutting-edge biotechnology, every step of the hunt for Amber is on the edge of the abyss of scientific ethics and human nature.
