Qin Feng, director of the Forensic Medicine Center of the Jiang City Criminal Police Detachment, is recognized as a "corpse whisperer" in the industry and can interpret death codes from the tiniest scars. However, a series of bizarre murders completely challenged his cognition. The identities of the deceased are different and the manner of death is very different, but the only thing they have in common is that all the main suspects have impeccable alibi that have been verified by multiple modern technologies (such as surveillance, GPS, communication records).
Police investigations have hit deadlocks again and again, and public opinion is under heavy pressure. At this time, while tracing a clue, the young and capable criminal police captain Lin Yao discovered that behind all the cases, there seemed to be a vague reference to a mysterious "time merchant" - a ghost who can "create" time for people and tamper with evidence.
Qin Feng and Lin Yao form a partnership. One looks for gaps in time from cold corpses and physical evidence, and the other tracks the trajectory of human nature from the lies and relationships of living people. They discovered that the murderer was not one person, but an elite team that used high technology and precise logic to carry out perfect crimes. The "mentor", the leader of this team, seems to know the police's case handling process very well and is accurately ahead of them every time.
As the investigation deepened, Qin Feng discovered that these cases were not randomly selected, and the victims were all related to an old case that had been dusty for 20 years - the "Jiangshi University Chemistry Laboratory Explosion Case." Qin Feng's late father was the main person responsible for the accident that year. His investigation gradually changed from pursuing the truth to a journey to clear his father's name and fight his own inner demons.
Clear logical thinking and good presentation
