Introduction to the novel (350 words)
When he woke up, Shen Yuan, an elite forensic doctor from the provincial department, became the lowest working apprentice of the six doors. In this world where internal strength in martial arts is king and the rules of the world are paramount, his scalpel seems incompatible with scientific thinking.
When I first arrived, I encountered the "unsolved case of river rafting". A male corpse was determined to have "fallen into the water" after he slipped and fell into the water. There were fish bones stuck in his mouth and three copper coins arranged in a triangle shape were tightly clenched in his palms. Colleagues dismissed it as an "accident", but Shen Yuan saw a carefully disguised murder. With his precise analysis of corpse spots and muscle spasms, he overturned the conclusion that "internal force kills people", and even found traces of cinnabar in the cracks of a copper coin.
From then on, he carried a special glazed lamp and set foot on the turbulent rivers and lakes. The stone powder in Qingshi Lane, the alchemy furnace in Xuandu Temple, the undercurrent of Caobang Wharf... Mysteries that seemed to be created by "martial arts" were peeled off under his hands. Partnering with Zhao Tieying, a rugged and brave head catcher, and getting acquainted with Su Yunshang, a smart and dashing person whose life experience is a mystery, Shen Yuan uses modern criminal investigation as a sword to cut through the fog.
However, when the clues finally pointed to the evil bronze cauldron using boys and girls as "medicines" and the mastermind behind the codename "Iron Abacus", Shen Yuan realized that what he was facing was not only a vendetta, but also a shocking conspiracy to subvert the government and the opposition. Science and metaphysics, legal principles and the rules of the world collide here - when martial arts cannot touch the truth, only logic can destroy all illusions!
