Unlike typical detective dramas, the Chinese drama The Truth highlights forensic trail technology as the core of the investigation. The story follows the Criminal Technology team of the Yunxi Public Security Bureau as they tackle heavy and unusual cases.

Most of the cases are inspired by real events, with a fast-paced storytelling pattern where one case is completed in three episodes. This approach makes the plot feel dense, intense, and minimizes repetition.

The investigative techniques showcased include electron microscopy, pollen analysis, and contact trace reconstruction. All uphold the classic forensic principle that every touch leaves a trace that can be uncovered.

Gong Jun plays Ye Qian, a forensic expert with a foreign degree who approaches cases with rationality and high precision. His gray hair appearance and the use of his original voice bring a new, more mature, and assertive vibe.

He pairs with Leng Qiming, an experienced criminal police captain portrayed by Jiang Wu. Their collaboration presents an interesting dynamic between field intuition and scientific analysis.

Their team also includes Si Yuan Long, Wan Jin, Wu Dan Qing, and other members who form a young professional unit. The presence of these characters makes each case feel like a collective effort rather than a solo action of a single hero.
