"When evidence lies, only bones remember the truth."
Serial murders occurred one after another in Chengnan City. The dead were all wrapped in rusty iron chains and had mysterious symbols carved on their throats.
Jiang Lin, the chief forensic doctor of the Municipal Bureau, is rational and believes that "evidence never lies." He had dissected thousands of corpses, but could not figure out the truth behind his sister's mysterious disappearance three years ago.
Chen Ye, a violent detective who was suspended for investigation, has the highest crime detection rate and the highest trouble rate. His father was the only victim in the "Slaughterhouse Serial Murder Case" twenty years ago, and the real murderer is still at large.
At the scene of the latest murder, Jiang Lin detected rare genetic markers on the bones of the deceased that were only recorded in his sister's DNA file, and Chen Ye recognized that the chain used by the murderer was exactly the same as the evidence in his father's murder case - two men cursed by the past were forced to form a partnership.
They found:
- The rusty chain marks on each corpse, when put together, point to undisclosed human experiment records underground at the Chengnan Meat Factory.
- All the victims were survivors of a certain "surgery" twenty years ago
- The real murderer is imitating Chen Ye's father's unfinished murder ritual
As the investigation deepened, the two gradually realized:
- The disappearance of Jiang Lin's sister and the death of Chen Ye's father were actually fragments of the same conspiracy.
- Someone inside the police station tampered with key evidence
- Every file they get is a carefully crafted lie
---
Core conflict
-The confrontation between science and intuition: Jiang Lin relies on evidence from corpses, but Chen Ye firmly believes that "the real murderer is in the police archives"
- Crisis of trust: Every violation investigation by Chen Ye undermines the judicial process that Jiang Lin adheres to.
- Identity reversal: When evidence shows that Chen Ye's father may be the original murderer, Jiang Lin's sister is actually an experiment participant
Highlight Settings
? Rusty chain password: The degree of rust on the chain of each corpse corresponds to the victim's true time of death, which is 72 hours earlier than the forensic doctor judged.
? Bone memory: Jiang Lin discovered through the healing state of bone seams that all the deceased had undergone the same kind of brain surgery
? Blizzard Burning Corpses: When the key witness was silenced, the murderer used low-temperature incendiary agents to create the illusion of "spontaneous combustion on a snowy night"
[Pre-embedded classic lines]
? Jiang Lin: "The chain of evidence is perfectly closed ≠ the truth."
? Chen Ye: "If the law cannot reach the darkness, I will turn myself into a darker shadow."
? Villain: "The ironclad evidence you think is just a landscape wall made of bones."
Intention: "When the truth is corroded, only the bigots can hear the whisper of bones."
