Lin Mo, the gold medal female forensic doctor in 2023, turned into Lin Xiaomo, the intern forensic doctor of the Public Security Bureau in 1956.
The rusty dissecting table, blunt carbon steel knives, gloves as thin as cicada wings, and the landlord's sudden rent increase dragged her from the precise and efficient modern forensic room into the fog of an era when doctors and medicines were scarce.
The first case involved a factory accountant who "committed suicide" - there was a suspicious groove in his neck, his fingernails were unusually clean, and there was a special particle embedded under his skin that shouldn't be there.
And the criminal investigation captain Chen Ye, who always appeared at the scene, was tall and silent, with sharp eyes like knives, but he would silently pay her rent, and handed her new gloves when she was playing with old equipment: "You can investigate the case, but you have to protect yourself."
When she detected controlled penicillin from the stomach contents of the deceased and found wiped blood stains in the corner of the warehouse, she was shocked to realize that this "suicide case" actually involved an unsolved case three years ago. The deliberately concealed eyes of the old forensic doctor and the panicked and evasive attitude of the purchaser all tell the same secret: someone is using death to cover up a larger conspiracy.
She held tools that were 30 years behind the times and used modern forensic knowledge to fight against the limitations of the times. However, she discovered that the truth under each scalpel was connected to a more complex human heart. And Chen Ye, who always protects her in the dark, seems to have a past related to old cases.
When the last piece of the evidence puzzle was put into place, Lin Mo looked at the cold body on the autopsy table and finally understood: the sharpest thing is never the scalpel, but the truth that can never be erased by time.

This book is so beautiful! There are no bells and whistles, just real details.
The case is not complicated, but it is particularly poignant.
No show off skills, just stupid tricks, but it makes people feel hot when they watch it. It's worth watching for this seriousness!
