At least Tul’s integrity remains intact amidst these challenges. When she teams up with forensic doctor Cherran, they methodically analyze the evidence left at crime scenes, leading them closer to identifying the perpetrators in each case. With time, both Tul and Cherran grow to trust each other more, working tirelessly to protect the lives of the innocent and ultimately deliver justice to the families of the victims.
