Forensic Doctors Enter the Game: I Rely on Autopsy Reports to Solve the Mystery of Death

Others survive under the rules. Lin Yan is dissecting the rules. The experience of 800 autopsies told him: every corpse has a cause of death, and so does every rule. Rule No. 1 Prohibits lingering in the hallway—that's the rigor mortis stage, the window of time between spasms. Rule 2 says that cabinet 3 must never be opened - that's not a ban, it's fishing. Corpses never hide anything, unless someone wants you to find it. Rule Seven says don't trust anyone—including the person who wrote the rule. He examined every rule as if it were a corpse: cause of death, pathological characteristics, time of death. Others ask: How do you survive this rule? He asked: How did this rule die? The answer is found. If the knife goes down, the rules will be broken. But the more times he was under the knife, the darker the purple lines on his left hand became. His mind began to feel heavy, his reasoning began to slow down, and his hand holding the knife began to lose control. The price of assimilation is not death. It becomes the rule itself.
