Beyond the aXis of Truth (Chinese: 法医X档案) is a Singaporean Mandarin crime drama series which aired in June 2001.
Synopsis
Forensic pathologist Chen Xueming (Edmund Chen) and CID officer Wu Pinyu (Ivy Lee) work together on several murder cases.
The first case involves a drowning victim Liao Yongwei (Vivian Lai) and her paraplegic lover Li Zeyuan (Chen Tianwen). When Zeyuan is hospitalised, Yongwei's estranged husband is mysteriously attacked at a bowling alley and later burned at the hospital.
Right after the first case was closed, Xueming and Pinyu are called to a string of bodies which showed signs of having been frozen at some point. Nothing seems to match up and their best lead is a mentally disturbed young woman.
A vehicle accident fatality was reportedly seen walking out of the ambulance. Several accidents and incidents connected to the "dead man" occur but the presence of blood and no matching victim proves baffling. A string of corpses of criminals wanted by the police are found drained of their blood. Xueming and Pinyu suspect they might be dealing with no ordinary criminal.
