On a rainy night in Fogang, lawyer Chen Song died in a locked office. The scene looked like a suicide, but he left behind cold tea, misplaced files and deleted computer records.
Lin Yan, deputy captain of criminal investigation, saw four words in the incomplete data: Qingtang, old site, reconstruction, and list.
That was an old case that his father did not want to mention again during his lifetime.
Seventeen years ago, a fire at Qingtang Welfare Home was classified as an accident. Six children died and the files were sealed. Seventeen years later, people related to the old case died one after another, and the survivors, old detectives, private investigators, forensic doctors and prosecutors were re-engaged in the depths of the truth.
Some people are silencing them, while others are archiving them.
And all clues point to the "seventh child" who shouldn't exist.
