My name is Shen Ye, and I am a legal reporter at Longcheng Daily, specializing in homicide reports. Three years ago, I was banned from the entire Internet for a report that exposed the shady story of the police industry. Overnight, I changed from an "ace reporter" to a street rat that everyone yelled at.
Until I woke up in the morgue with a non-moving pocket watch on my wrist, the hands always pointed to ten past ten.
There is a note hidden in the pocket watch: "The Seventh Division of the Yin Law Department, the law enforcement officer is dead, and you are the alternate. Lesson 1: The dead cannot lie, but the living can tell."
From then on, I could hear the last words of the deceased.
In the Longcheng serial murder case, seven victims died in bizarre ways, and the police were helpless. The murderer, codenamed "Tailor," specializes in killing people who deserve the punishment. Every corpse is a verdict.
I thought I was here to solve a crime.
Until a line of text appeared on the back of the pocket watch: "The law enforcement officer of the Seventh Division died three years ago... In the Longcheng Daily bombing. The murderer has not yet been brought to justice."
And in that explosion, the only survivor was me, who left the scene ten minutes early.
