My name is Gu Shen, and I can hear every lie that others tell me.
Not mind reading. Mind readers can hear the truth, I can't.
I can only hear the fake ones. Every "echo" tells me:
This man is lying to me.
But I don't know what he's lying to me about.
A series of murders occurred in Nancheng. Three victims died in different places with different causes - drowning, falling from a building, and poisoning. The only thing they have in common is that within 72 hours before their death, the three of them all said the same thing to someone:
"I didn't see anything."
During the investigation, Gu Shen found that all clues pointed to a non-existent address and a person without a file. Every time he gets close to the truth, someone will lie to him - those who smile at him, those who say "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Gu", those who say "I was just passing by", the echoes are different.
Until he meets someone who doesn't respond when he lies to him.
He was the first suspect who made Gu Shen doubt whether his abilities were reliable.
Also the last one.
"Don't you ask me why I can tell?"
"Because you can hear it."
"... What?"
"Lies. You can hear lies."
Gu Shen was stunned in the interrogation chair for the first time.
"Don't be nervous," the man smiled, "I am a person with 'problems' just like you."
