Epiphyllum Has Bloomed

24K0

Under the scalpel of forensic doctor Lin Zhixia, there lay the seventh corpse soaked in indigo blue. When the tweezers pulled out half of the snake-shaped copper charm from the heart of the deceased, the old wound that had not healed for twenty years was torn open again. On that rainy night in 1998, the mother, a medical examiner, mysteriously evaporated in the morgue, leaving only half of the same charm stained with blood. The living worms in the body of the deceased, the double reflections in the mirror gallery of the mental hospital, the thirteen crystal coffins displayed on the underground altar... "When the dead begin to tell lies with their bones, the living become the perfect weapons." The deadly game between modern criminal investigation technology and ancient witchcraft secrets, a hard-core crime scene from the perspective of forensic medicine. The heroine's intellectual breakthrough in the forensic laboratory and the crime scene, the undercurrent of ambiguous tension runs throughout. In a bloody mystery that spans two generations, every corpse is waiting for the person who can understand the language of bones.
