Trace of Emberbone

Trace of Emberbone The rain in Linzhou has fallen from the bloody night of the lesson plan a hundred years ago to now. Su Yan of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, carrying the shadow of the tragic death of frontline personnel three years ago, was accidentally involved in a murder in an ancestral hall - collector Zhang Qiming was pierced through the heart with a copper knife. A bronze badge engraved with a raven pattern and half a worn-out silver hairpin with plum blossoms were left beside him. As the investigation deepens, ancient book restorer Shen Zhiyi comes into view. She is not only the holder of the lesson plan manuscript, but also the daughter of the missing detective Shen Jingzhi fifteen years ago. Shen Jingzhi's lame old injury actually coincides with the figure of the murderer under surveillance. The paste from ancient books under the nails of the deceased, the informant's code that suddenly appeared under the pillow, and the red sandstone soil of the abandoned church all point to a century-old family feud and the smuggling of cultural relics. When the second "fake" corpse appeared, with the word "fake" engraved in blood to challenge the police, Su Yan discovered that his fingerprints appeared on the note left by the murderer - he had been targeted from the beginning in this hunt in the name of revenge. Is the Raven one person or an organization? Is Shen Jingzhi dead or alive? What is the hidden connection between the truth of the teaching plan that was covered up a hundred years ago, the murder of the informant three years ago, and the current serial murders? Su Yan and her partner Lin Xia pursued the case in the fog. Every time they got closer to the truth, they fell into a deeper vortex, and those sleeping skeletons were slowly waking up in the rain, waiting for the moment of justice.
