When a perfect crime meets a broken heart, two scarred souls serve as each other's beacon in the ruins of lies.
Three years ago, star partners Lu Lin and Lin Chen of the Binjiang City Criminal Investigation Detachment suffered an explosion while performing a mission. Lin Chen died in the line of duty and Lu Lin's left hand was disabled. The closing report said "accident", but Lu Lin still couldn't accept it - the unclaimed mysterious symbol on the inside of Lin Chen's helmet was like a thorn, piercing deep into every nightmare of his.
Three years later, a series of serial murders known as "Perfect Stitches" broke the peace. The four victims, with no social status, had their organs removed and meticulously sutured using the same superb surgical techniques. When the symbol that only belonged to Lin Chen appeared in the palm of the fourth corpse, Lu Lin's whole world began to collapse.
"Army, they all say I'm dead. Do you believe it?"
A text message from an empty number dragged him deeper into the fog.
At the same time, Jiang Yi, a criminal psychology consultant specially appointed by the provincial department, airborne to the detachment. He is unruly and carries a candy box with him, but he has a sharp eye that can penetrate the cracks of human nature. In his first profile, he overturned all criminal investigation directions: "The murderer is not a doctor, but a plastic surgeon in a funeral home; he is no longer hiding, but 'atonement' for the deceased."
This is a story about how evil is glossed over and how systems breed darkness;
It is also a story about how broken people repair each other and walk forward with a lamp in the endless dark night.
When all the rules collapse, only the unextinguished light in their hearts can guide them out of the fog.
—In the face of the evil of silence, there are always people who are willing to make the first cry for the truth
The writing is very true and well written.
