    Reader note

    The novel opens with a shocking premise: the protagonist, Lin Er, is imprisoned for murder, only to find himself embroiled in another wrongful conviction upon his release. Unlike the realistic style of traditional crime dramas, the author cleverly incorporates surreal elements—Lin Er's special ability to pinpoint the killer simply by touching a corpse, perfectly blending suspense and science fiction. This combination of "hardcore forensic science like Qin Ming + supernatural abilities like X-Men" creates a stunning chemical reaction in the episodic cases: when corpses become "memory USB drives" connecting the past and present, each case transforms into an intellectual battle across life and death. From DNA reconstruction at dismemberment scenes to the psychological profiling of the smiling killer, the author wraps the supernatural elements in meticulous criminal investigation details, leading readers from initial disbelief into a labyrinth of logic where "it's impossible" gradually leads to a deeper understanding.
