Dead Person's Ledger

The police said that Lin Xiaoman jumped from the ninth floor by himself. The rainy night, the dormitory, the open window, the silence left by the young nurse, everything was classified under the word "suicide". The case was closed and the body was sent to the Ning Ning Hall, waiting for a decent farewell. However, Shen Tang stopped before entering the coffin. The ten nails of the deceased were cut close to the flesh, as if someone had patiently cleaned up the last traces of her after her death. There were small bleeding spots under her eyes, and the injuries from the fall did not look like those of a person who was awake and dying. Seven years ago, Shen Tang was a forensic doctor. Later, she was expelled from the system because of a judgment she refused to change. Now she has no stamp, no laboratory, no qualification to submit for examination, and only a pair of eyes that have seen too many dead people. But dead men don't lie. Relics were sorted out, USB flash drives disappeared, notebook pages were missing, white coats were replaced, and an old pen fell into the wrong hands. Everyone was urging Lin Xiaoman to leave with dignity, as if as long as the flowers were arranged, the makeup was done, and the cremator door was closed, everything would be quiet. But Shen Tang knew that some dignity was not reserved for the dead. It is to cover the blood on the hands of the living. She didn't commit suicide. And Shen Tang was the last person to hear her testimony before she was sent away.
