Shen Ye, a forensic doctor from the Provincial Public Security Department, took the initiative to apply for a temporary job at the Public Security Bureau of Qingping County in the southwest for training. The purpose was to train at the grassroots level, but the real motive was to investigate the cause of death of his master Chen Lishan - he died of "sudden cardiac death" six months ago. On the first day after taking office, Shen Ye received the case of a man's corpse on the riverbank. The police initially ruled him drowned, but the autopsy found that there were no diatoms in the lungs, but cinnabar was found in the stomach, and there was talisman dust under the fingernails - this was not drowning, but a body dumped after death. What's even more strange is that in the pocket of the deceased was a note soaked in water. The handwriting was from the master Chen Lishan who had been dead for half a year. It said "Zhao Mingyuan, male, 32, not drowned. It is recommended to file a case." Did the master predict this case half a year ago? Shen Ye dug out an iron box from under the floor of his master's study. Inside was a stack of "Review Memos" with "The Case I Qualified Wrong" written on the cover. The master worked as a forensic examiner in the county bureau all his life, but he was at the top of his profession but was forced to change reports. Before his death, he secretly redo the technical appraisal of the wrong cases he had handled for thirty years and hid them until his apprentice could analyze them. Shen Ye checked corpse after corpse, from the overpowering technique in the cinnabar well water, to borrowing longevity charms from nursing homes, demolishing ancestral halls, and health products to extend life pills. Behind every wrong case was a "pseudo Taoist medical network", and behind this network was the master's fellow disciple - the person who had been under investigation for thirty years and finally silenced the master.
