Introduction

【Based on True Cases in Taiwan】
In a remote motel, a body is shockingly discovered hidden under the bed, sparking intense attention from the police. However, as the investigation deepens, what initially appears to be a simple murder case seems to be linked to a bloody incident from years ago. Is the truth behind this a mere coincidence, or a chilling mystery buried over time?

Dr. Ye Ruxia, a behavioral analyst specializing in hard-to-classify psychological crimes, firmly believes that what are considered "special" crimes are simply psychological phenomena yet to be understood. His mission is to bring these seemingly abnormal behaviors into the realm of reason, uncovering the hidden motives deep within the minds of criminals to prevent the next tragedy.

At the intersection of real crime and psychology, Ye Ruxia and his partner Lin Shou-Zheng will delve deeper into a series of terrifying cases where truth and mystery intertwine, revealing the dark corners of criminal humanity......
