The city bureau established a new department, the Major Crimes Unit, to handle important cases and cold cases. Xia Yao, a forensic expert, was transferred there.
But she had a secret.
A livestreaming app had inexplicably appeared on her new phone. The higher her points limit, the more types of rewards she could redeem.
Task prompt: "Get 100 viewers to install anti-fraud software within three days. If you run out of time, your parents will explode."
Xia Yao: ????
Livestream task in progress.
Viewer: Pretty big sis, give us a hug~
Viewer: She looks kind of familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her...
At last, she completed the task. Just as the System forcibly shut down the livestream and redirected it to the control panel...
Viewer: Sis?
Xia Yao froze.
She had only one younger brother, and he had died six years ago-
Xia Yao: "As a forensic pathologist, when I'm focused on my work, I have no time to be afraid. I don't have time for fear. The only thing I fear is failing to accurately determine the time of death, identify the murder weapon, or properly analyze the body. I fear failing to do my job well."
Speaking objectively on behalf of the dead is the only way to respect the truth and the sanctity of life.
A drop of blood, a photograph, a phone call, a video... Follow the threads and uncover the truth.
Dawn will come at last, driving away all the darkness.
