In the seventh year of Chunyou's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Ci wrote "The Collection of Cleansing of Wrongs".
The world only knows that book, which records the methods of autopsy and determination of cases, but few people know that before those volumes of corpses and regulations, Song Ci had personally touched many unspeakable deaths.
He has seen the charred bones after burning in the fire, and also seen the nameless corpses that have sunk to the bottom of the river for many years; he has seen the truth covered up by the powerful, and he has also seen the people whose names have been erased by their identities.
Some people say that bones cannot speak.
But Song Ci always believed: the bones will leave evidence, they will not be changed by power, and they will not be silenced by lies.
What this book describes are the little-known experiences of Song Ci before he wrote "The Collection of Cleansing of Wrongs".
Starting from a charred corpse, he embarked on a path that no one dared to investigate. Following the traces left by rivers, boats and the dead, he gradually understood that a true injustice is never just the death of a person.
Behind it, there may be a hidden chain of interests, a forgotten name, or even an entire world unwilling to let the truth emerge.
What Song Ci had to do was to say the last words for those who could no longer speak.
——"People's words can be changed, documents can be changed, but corpses cannot be deceived.
