Forensic doctor Chen Mo believes that death is the end. Until he detected pollen that had been discontinued three months ago in the alveoli of a drowned person; in the carbonized fingernails of a charred corpse, he found unique alloy particles belonging to another fire scene.
The Bureau quietly established the "Temporal Anomaly Section" to deal with bizarre deaths where the evidence chain contradicts itself on the timeline. Chen Mo was the only one who could "hear" the contradictions narrated by the corpse - it was not a psychic, but rigorous forensic science that told him: the body's biological clock was completely seventy-two hours behind the real world.
When the seventh "time-displaced" corpse appeared, all the evidence pointed to a identified mining accident three years ago. Chen Mo opened the dusty file and found that the only survivor of the year was the reporter who died in the car accident yesterday.
At this time, his scalpel reflected a second shadow under the shadowless lamp.
