He could hear the bones talking.
Every bone contains the last words the deceased wanted to say.
Song Ci, a 27-year-old forensic assistant, touched an unnamed skeleton at 2:40 in the morning. He embarked on an irreversible path. He became the only awakened bone physicist in the past thirty years. He can sense the memory and emotions of the deceased by touching the bones, and solve mysteries that cannot be touched by ordinary criminal investigation methods.
But this ability comes at a price.
Every time he reads Bones, his own bones age, irreversibly and unstoppably. The bone age calculation told him: at the current rate of consumption, he has about three years left.
This is the story of a 27-year-old man and his fifty-year-old hands.
"The Bone Hearer" combines folk suspense and professional reasoning, and builds a complete world view of the "Bone Master" based on the bone examination technique in the Song Dynasty's "Resolution of Wrongdoes". Song Ci partners with the pragmatic and tough female detective Lin Wantang. Under the leadership of Qin Jing, the leader of the special case team, they investigate death cases in warehouses, smuggling of battlefield bones, bones hidden in the foundations of orphanages, and serial injustice cases in ancient and modern times, all the way to the "Bone Hidden Hall" hidden in the dark - an ancient underground organization that specializes in eliminating evidence of skeletal crimes and mastering "clavicle techniques."
The real opponent is the man named Ying Wuming who can transfer bone loss to innocent people - Uncle Chen's earliest apprentice thirty years ago, a bone physiognomist who also tried his best to save people. In the end, he went crazy and used the life span of others to extend his own life.
Bones don't lie, talent says.
However, even though he knew the cost, he still chose to read Song Ci.
——"The bones are still talking, so I have to listen."
