Forensic Pathologist 1994

In 2024, Lu Chuan, director of the forensic medicine center of the Jiangnan Provincial Public Security Bureau, suddenly died at the autopsy table. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to 1994, the first day he had reported for duty as a forensic examiner. That year, there was no DNA database, no automated fingerprint-matching System, no surveillance cameras, no forensic entomology, and no bloodstain pattern analysis. Criminal investigation technology was still in its primitive age. Murder cases relied on door-to-door interviews, physical evidence was examined with the naked eye, fingerprints were matched by flipping through files one page at a time, and a drop of blood could reveal only its blood type, not its DNA. Carrying thirty years of forensic experience, Lu Chuan returned to the starting point, where all technology was still at zero. In 1994, a body was discovered beneath a mine. It was initially judged to be an accidental death caused by falling rocks. Lu Chuan crouched down and took one look. It was not an accident.
