A forensic pathologist who turns pale and gags against the wall at the sight of blood suddenly finds a woman's corpse in her bathtub.
There was no blood.
So she didn't faint.

When a colleague cuts a finger, Qiao Zhiwei can turn pale on the spot.
At a crime scene awash with blood, she has to lean against the wall for ages to recover.
But once a body is placed on the autopsy table, she's calmer than anyone.
The woman in the bathtub has no obvious external injuries, and there's no reason she should have been there at all.
Stranger still, after this first corpse, more and more dead people who are “not quite right” are brought before Qiao Zhiwei.
Some people see an accident.
Some see a suicide.
But Qiao Zhiwei always sees something else.
The first time criminal investigation captain Lu Chenye met her, he couldn't help asking:
“Don't you faint at the sight of blood?”
Qiao Zhiwei put on her gloves and picked up the scalpel.
“I'm afraid of blood.”
“Corpses don't bleed.”
Only later did Lu Chenye realize that this woman was afraid of living people bleeding, but never afraid of the dead.
And the dead always left her to see the things the living most wanted to hide.
The first case didn't explain why the body was placed in the heroine's house, and why the bag that the hero destroyed directly was where the deceased was.
The sound is not nice
