Needle Bone Tracer

Use needles to draw bones, use embroidery to trace them. To the east of Shuozhou City, there is Yunjinxiu Square. Jiang Xueyi has two identities - an embroiderer during the day and a widower at night. She did the autopsy without a knife or medicine, and only used an embroidery needle. The needle tip picked out the fibers in the ditch, which were wool dyed with lapis lazuli from Khotan - the murderer was a member of the caravan. The angle at which the needle tip penetrated into the bone seam was thirty-two degrees to the right - the murderer was missing a little finger. Each stitch drew a face on the white silk that she had never seen before. She calls this craft "bone painting". Ji Beiqing, the head catcher at Dali Temple, doesn't believe in needles. He was a scout and believed in copper buckles, the direction of wear of horseshoes, and the depth of footprints in the snow. The thickness of the rust layer on the shoe can be used to estimate how many years a person has walked. The day the needle and the copper button met, an arms smuggling case that had been concealed for twenty years emerged from the old archives. Sixty-seven people died. The name was removed from the file. Among the living people, five people chose silence in different positions. There is no conspiracy, no collusion, everyone is just doing their job. Then sixty-seven people died. No one feels like they are killing someone. They just finished their job for the day. The system can push people down, but people can choose to move up. If the needle is lifted upward, the truth will not be buried.
