Lawyer Ji Lin says nothing in court. Thirty minutes of silence shock the entire room, and the prosecution’s witness suffers a mental breakdown on the spot. After three years away from the public eye, he returns with his devastating silence, determined to overturn the wrongful conviction he once helped bury, sending an innocent person to their doom. Prosecutor Shen Zhao vows to defend the authority of the law, unaware that he is stepping into a trap laid by someone else. Forensic examiner Jiang Yanqiu’s injured hand, journalist Bai Yuan’s recording, and retired Judge Chen Huai’s last words all point to a dark system devouring the justice system. Silence is his sharpest weapon. Ji Lin uses it to expose a perjurer’s weakness, reopening a rape-murder case that had long been considered closed and drawing nationwide attention.
