Last Words Cannot Be Said

Forensic assistant Shen Zhao acquired a strange ability after losing his memory in a car accident three years ago: by touching the deceased's personal belongings, he could sense the fragments of his final emotions. He called it "asking the bones". But there is a price for asking about the bones - every time you touch it, you will lose a piece of memory; the contents of the fragments can never be told; you can only ask about the same relic once. When Interpol Lu Chen found him with the unsolved case of falling from a building, Shen Zhao found words engraved on the inside of the deceased's pocket watch: "Number 09, due." No. 09, No. 17, Experimental subjects, consciousness transplantation... As the relics were touched one by one, Shen Zhao gradually pieced together the truth: the reason why he could "ask the bones" was because the neural tissue of another person was still alive in his brain. That person's name is Lin Wan. She died on March 17, 2023. Official record: Traffic accident. But Shen Zhao knew that before she died, she was wearing a red raincoat and standing beside the operating table, watching him being pushed into the operating room. "Destroy the sample." These were the last words Lin Wan left. Shen Zhao could never say these four words in person - but he could draw them. When Lu Chen read the lip language from the drawing, the two realized that this experiment that had lasted for twenty years had never stopped. And Shen Zhao is not the end. Is the starting point.
