Forensic Doctor Fan Chen

A rainy night. The scene of a dismemberment. When forensic pathologist Fan Chen brushes the skin with his fingertips, he sees a small hand beating against a window in a sea of flames.

At seven, he took the wrong path and failed to save his playmate, Xiaoyue. Twenty years later, the serial killer he's pursuing turns out to be the same person who started the fire back then.

Every autopsy tears open his trauma again. Each time he uses his ability to “hear the dead speak,” his hands shake a little more, and he forgets a little more. Before his mentor fell into a coma, he left him a single word: “Live.”

But Fan Chen doesn't know if he's still alive.

The dead don't lie. But the living must live out the parts the dead never got to.
