OVER 100 MILLION READS ONLINE, OVER 500,000 COPIES SOLD
BASED ON REAL CASE INVESTIGATIONS
Every crime leaves clues… and almost always tries to pass itself off as an accident.
A routine car crash on the outskirts of the city: a man is struck, a tire track on his clothing—case all but closed. But forensic expert Liu washes the blood off the victim’s face and recognizes him.
Lao Zhao lies on the asphalt—his colleague. His phone and wallet are gone, and next to them a strange mark has been drawn: the character “mouth” (口). Is the last hint—or a trap?
As the investigation team tries to track down the man who has Lao Zhao’s phone, it becomes clear: this is not a coincidence, but a carefully constructed revenge. And in this game, the truth may be more terrifying than any confession…

And it also teaches a great deal about forensic medicine—a rare combination.” — ZHOU HAOHAI, author of thrillers.
“It’s difficult for a professional to write investigation stories that are both accurate and gripping. But Liu Xiaohui has worked as a forensic pathologist for more than 15 years, has been to hundreds of crime scenes—so both the knowledge and the investigative process in the book are precise, almost like a textbook. Most importantly, all the stories are based on his real experience and genuinely astonishing.” — JU DISHUI, author of the ‘Death Investigation Department’ series.
“A forensic pathologist is a profession in which the body ‘speaks.’ Using his skill, Liu Xiaohui determines the cause of death for every victim, and then turns these mysterious, unpredictable cases into stories for the reader. He ‘gives the dead a voice’—and thereby helps bring criminals to justice. All of this is in this book.” — LIU XINCHENG, police officer.
