Personal Note: The series has 「刑偵」 (i.e., the shorthand for "Detective Investigation Files") in its title, but there seems to be a lot of forensics involved....
Funny how the producer told the cast to not divulge too much about the plot, but quite a bit ended up being revealed in the media interviews! :P
