Haimen City is the busiest port city on the southeast coast. High-rise buildings coexist with the old port, neon lights and ruins. The Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau established "Laboratory Zero" three years ago, which is externally known as the "Physical Evidence Identification Center". In fact, it is a cutting-edge crime-solving unit that integrates forensics, physical evidence, psychology, trace inspection, electronic evidence collection, and criminal portraits.
Chief medical examiner Gu Wanqing can hear the last whispers of the deceased in bone seams and knife marks; trace examination expert Zhuo Yan can reconstruct a murder by picking up a speck of dust with a pair of tweezers; electronic forensics expert Zhong Liyan can dig out the shadow of the perpetrator between 0 and 1; psychological analyst Li Su is good at prying open the mouths of the living and closing the hearts of the dead.
What they deal with is not cases, but "archives" - every corpse, every scar, and every fiber has been coded and archived, becoming indelible evidence of the dark side of the city.
This book records the seven most bizarre serial files of "Lab Zero" in the three years since its establishment. They may form independent chapters, or they may have hidden connections; the real murderer may be dead long ago, or he may just pass you by in broad daylight.
When the last page of the file is closed, you will find that the most terrifying thing is not the corpse, but the gap in the heart of the living person.
