Shen Ye has had a secret since he was a child: as long as he touches the corpse, he can "hear" the deceased's psychological activities in the last seven seconds before death.
Those voices are incomplete and irrational, often a mixture of fear, anger, despair or confusion. But every time, Shen Ye was able to find the only truth - who the murderer was, what his motive was, and even what the murderer was thinking at the moment.
Because of this ability, he once served as a secret consultant to the police and solved 37 unsolved cases. Because of this ability, he is regarded as a monster by everyone - no one wants to be friends with a person who "listens to corpses" all day long.
Three years ago, during a mission, Shen Ye was betrayed by his most trusted partner. He was seriously injured and retired, and has never touched a body since.
Until today.
The body of a 6-year-old girl who had been missing for three days was found in an abandoned sewer. The girl's mother knelt outside the cordon, her eyes despairing and empty.
Shen Ye stood in the crowd of onlookers, hearing the girl's mother's heart-wrenching cry and the long-lost, restless voice in his body——
"Go ahead. She's waiting for you to talk."
Shen Ye took a deep breath and took the first step.
He's back.
This time, he wants every silent dead to tell the final truth.
