Words: 2847 · Source Novel:: The Crimson Gazette

Dr. Chen Mubai, a low-born forensic surgeon clawing for respect, is assigned to confirm the death of Ye Chucang, a newspaper editor sentenced to death for defaming the President. In the damp death row cell, he finds the corpse wearing an inexplicably serene smile, a single fresh puncture hidden beneath the ear. His report is to rule it a heart failure, but the prison warden's excessive relief ignites Chen's own calculating ambition to uncover the truth behind this too-perfect death.
