The plot for Forensic Heroes contains a mixture of various themes. The mysteries include Who Killed Tim Sir's wife?, The Tai Po Corpse, Murders for Justice and Where is Tim Sir? The series included many serial killers. However, of all the crimes, there were two very important ones. "Who Killed Tim Sir's Wife?" had two possible suspects, however, the murderer turns out to be a nurse who accidentally poisoned her. This causes Tim's heart to break, but it is a lucky chance for him to fall in love with Siu-Yau. "Where is Tim Sir" was the last and most important mystery.
A clown, Tracy's only true friend, abducted Tim. The clown puts him in a port container with seemingly limited air supply, no water and food supply and a camera connected to a laptop, stored in a disc and new clips sent to Forensics everyday show Tim trying to create a fire to attract the rescuers using friction. But Forensics has only three days to find Tim before he dies of thirst and hunger. Siu-Yau is especially worried and fearful as she has fallen in love with him. The clown is caught, brought to Forensics to be interrogated, but before any information is extracted from him, he kills himself. All seems lost.
However, while Forensics is searching, Siu-Yau looks at the laptop screen with Sam. Then the lights lighting the container up dim and a small hole is seen coming through the container. This sparks new hope in Siu-Yau and Sam, who check the position of the sun and find out where Tim is. Still, that is not narrowed down enough. Tim is wearing a watch that could reflect sunlight coming through the hole and start a small fire, which the rescuers would see. But little do they know that Tim is just waiting to die.
