On the tour, Zhang Jiahui, Ren Xianqi and Chen Jiale, who appeared first, showed up with bone pliers and two Christmas masks respectively to attract the audience’s curiosity. For the first time as a forensic doctor, Zhang Jiahui introduced that bone pliers are forensic tools, and this shooting requires a lot of forensic expertise. In addition to many hand-to-hand fights with the villain Ren Xianqi, this role mainly relies on wisdom. This time, Ren Xianqi, who played the villain with a Santa mask, said that Zhang Jiahui was a "gentle man", ridiculed himself as the leader of the bandits, and beat Zhang Jiahui violently like a "bad boy fight" to amuse the audience. On the tour, Ren Xianqi also said that the last time he worked with Zhang Jiahui was in 2004. After 15 years, they worked together again. The action scenes between the two were punched to the flesh, and everyone was beaten to the ground by three gangsters, which was very exciting. When talking about the action scenes of the movie, Ren Xianqi also said that "the movie has the spirit of Hong Kong action movies, and I hope everyone will support it more." When it comes to the role of another gangster, Chen Jiale said that the director hoped that the role would be worse, so wearing a mask also tapped into his "bad" side. Zhang Jiahui joked that "so many girls like you."

In addition, Guo Jin’an and Wu Zhuoxi, who are specially starred in the film, also appeared at the press conference. As a well-known TVB actor, Guo Jin’an admitted that he rarely makes movies, and he is very honored to make Hollywood movies. Wu Zhuoxi, who also plays a police officer, also said that he "cherishes making movies with Hollywood directors, Brother Jiahui and Brother Qi, and hopes to have the opportunity to continue filming." As a brand-new crime action film, "Silent Witness" has attracted not only many crime action film fans, but also the attention of ordinary audiences. After watching, many viewers commented that "the plot is tense, and it is very cool to watch, and Yang Zi is very pleasantly surprised." "I rarely see this kind of forensic crime action film. It is very novel, and the plot is also full of suspense. It is worth watching." "Anti-killing is very hard-core. Zhang Jiahui’s forensic doctor is calm and meticulous. Yang Zi is deeply impressed by the play, and Ren Xianqi’s villain is also very brilliant."

The movie "Silent Witness" is produced by Wanda Film and Television Media Co., Ltd. and Media Asia Film Production Co., Ltd., telling the story of forensic doctor Chen Jiahao (Zhang Jiahui) and intern forensic doctor Qiao Lin (Yang Zi) inadvertently playing a series of life-and-death games with three bandits led by Santa (Ren Xianqi) one night.
