As soon as Shen Zhao, a serious crime detective, opened his eyes, he became the most disliked legitimate daughter in the Hou family.
To make matters worse, as soon as she woke up, her family forced her to confess to a murder.
The body was in the courtyard, the poison was in her room, the witness statements were in order, and even the confession had been written for her.
Everyone was waiting for her to bow her head.
Shen Zhao only asked:
"Who touched the body?"
She doesn't know how to fight for favor in the back house, and she doesn't bother to cry and confess her innocence to others.
She can only investigate the scene, dismantle the testimonies, reconstruct the timeline, and tear apart the seemingly certain "truths" one by one.
Poison murder case in the Hou Mansion, missing bride, human bones in river lanterns, headless corpse on snowy night, corpse burning in Jingcang, old military pay case from thirteen years ago...
From an abandoned daughter who was pushed out by her family to take the blame, to the head of the Prosecution Department of Dali Temple, the cases Shen Zhao investigates are getting bigger and bigger, and the people she encounters are becoming more and more untouchable.
The powerful say that family scandals should not be made public.
She checked.
The courtier said the overall situation was more important than a few lives.
She also checked.
Everyone told her that some cases cannot be overturned, some people cannot be touched, and some truths are enough.
Shen Zhao only recognizes one thing——
Facts do not depend on status.
It really doesn't matter who says it best.
It doesn't matter who has the highest official position.
Wherever the evidence is, the case will be found.
