Lin Mo has worked at a funeral home for three years, putting makeup on the dead. His hands are steady, and he rarely speaks.
That day, as he was touching up the makeup on a female corpse, a line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes:
"Don't touch the fingernails. The killer's DNA is still underneath."
His hand froze. A second line appeared:
"The killer is Jiang Chen. The Major Crimes Unit will come asking for you in three minutes."
Jiang Chen, the guy who just won the Best Actor award.
Lin Mo thought he was seeing a ghost. Three minutes later, Su Qing walked in with the Major Crimes Unit.
Later, he became an auxiliary forensic examiner for the Jiangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. Whenever he touches a corpse, he sees scrolling comments, as online viewers from the future watch him solve cases in a "Truth Livestream." The comments can spoil the killer, offer clues, or deliberately lead him into a trap.
Some are true, some are false, some bring tragedy, and some bring sweetness.
With their help, he solved cases involving a top-tier star who killed his girlfriend, an influencer who faked an insurance claim, and a family massacre. The Major Crimes Unit fought to recruit him, while the online abuse was already booked through next year.
Then one day, a comment drifted by:
"Lin Mo, your parents aren't dead. Stop investigating."
His parents had died in a fire ten years ago.
Lin Mo turned off the comments and opened the case files on his parents.
Corpses don't lie. The comments do.
Suspense, special functions, ups and downs of the plot, complex cases, the magical methods are very novel, the writing is very good, and it is very interesting to watch.
