Bai Luo welcomed Yin Tao to the police station and offered her a place to stay. Yin Tao adapted quickly to her new role as a forensic doctor, surprising Bai Luo with her newfound seriousness and confidence. While shopping for clothes, Yin Tao encountered her older brother, Yin Hao, who reminded her of their father's upcoming birthday and gave her money.

“Big brother, I…” Yin Tao was about to politely refuse when Yin Hao cut her off.

“Yin Tao, be sensible and cease your bickering with your elders. Yin Ning has already been introduced to many of the Yin family’s business associates. As her elder sister, you cannot be so willful and skip your father’s birthday celebration. You absolutely must attend,” Yin Hao declared, driving away before Yin Tao could even utter a word in response.

“Wow, your older brother is quite the looker!” Bai Luo exclaimed, gazing in the direction Yin Hao’s car had vanished and letting out a wistful sigh.

“I’ll gift this elder brother to you; would you like to have him?” Yin Tao felt a pang of irritation. It appeared avoiding this weekend’s event was no longer an option.

“No, thank you!” Bai Luo reconsidered with a laugh, “I think I’d rather be your sister-in-law!”

Yin Tao quirked an eyebrow, contemplating. The narrative of the novel primarily focused on Yin Ning’s romantic entanglements. Yin Hao, seemingly unattached, presented as mature and dependable, not prone to frivolous pursuits. Her elder brother, indeed, possessed the qualities of a good husband.

“You go, girl!” Yin Tao, glancing at the card in her hand, turned to Bai Luo. “Let’s go! Since someone else is paying, we should definitely buy more clothes.”

Yin Tao recalled that Yin Hao was depicted as a fundamentally decent character within the novel’s storyline. The original Yin Tao had encountered some unsavory individuals, and Yin Hao had even stepped in to help her navigate numerous difficult situations. However, the original Yin Tao had never truly managed to get along with him, harboring a sense that Yin Hao favored Yin Ning. It seemed prudent to foster a better relationship with this affluent elder brother moving forward.

Yin Tao and Bai Luo did not indulge in excessive shopping. Bai Luo hailed from a prosperous family, so she was not in want of much, nor did she harbor any desire to take undue advantage of others. Yin Tao also possessed a considerable amount of pocket money, thus she only utilized Yin Hao’s card to purchase an expensive tie for her father, Yin Dong, as a birthday present.

Upon returning to the dormitory, Yin Tao braced herself for a bout of insomnia. Yet, whether due to her remarkable adaptability or sheer exhaustion, she slept with an uncommon soundless peace that night.

The following morning, Yin Tao received a summons from her mentor, Su Ning, to the autopsy laboratory. This marked her initial immersion into her professional duties since her transmigration. Yin Tao felt a subtle undercurrent of excitement.

“You’ve arrived.” Su Ning, appearing to be in his thirties, was a tall, broad-shouldered man sporting a pair of rimless glasses. He maintained a stern visage upon seeing Yin Tao. He then introduced her to another portly forensic doctor standing nearby. “Zhang Yuan, this is Yin Tao. She is my intern, and today marks her first day.”

“Greetings, Teacher Zhang!” Yin Tao bowed respectfully to Zhang Yuan.

“Just call me Dr. Zhang. Your master and I were old classmates. There’s no need for you to be nervous,” the stout forensic doctor replied with a smile, exuding a much more approachable demeanor than Su Ning. He turned towards Yin Tao, addressing her warmly, “You are a young lady; work hard! We don’t often see beautiful girls like yourself in this profession.”

“It’s only her first day; it remains to be seen if she can persevere,” Su Ning’s voice was icily dismissive. Clearly, he held little faith in Yin Tao’s potential. “Go change and ensure your mask is properly secured. Your timing is unfortunate; you’re facing a particularly challenging case on your very first day as an intern. Be sure to meticulously document everything.”

Yin Tao nodded and proceeded to change. She resolved not to be overly eager to alter Su Ning's perception of her. Yin Tao possessed considerable confidence in her professional capabilities. After all, the original Yin Tao was merely an intern who lacked passion for the job, whereas she was a seasoned, qualified forensic doctor with years of experience.

After changing into her work attire and entering the autopsy laboratory, Yin Tao comprehended precisely why Su Ning had deemed her unlucky.

Before her lay a severely decomposed corpse, thoroughly saturated with water. Had she been the original Yin Tao, she likely would have vomited instinctively.

“A weight was affixed to the deceased’s body. There was no water detected in the lungs, nor was there any internal hemorrhage in the cervical region; therefore, drowning was not the cause of death. The fatal injury was located in the abdomen, suggesting this is a case of body concealment post-homicide,” Su Ning stated, turning the corpse over and examining it with intense focus, devoid of any hint of revulsion.

Yin Tao, without hesitation, stepped closer to inspect the deceased’s clothing. She retrieved her camera and began skillfully capturing photographs while simultaneously documenting the corpse’s distinct features.

Zhang Yuan, standing by and perusing the crime scene report, remarked to Su Ning, “The perpetrator exercised extreme caution. There was absolutely nothing found on the deceased that could be used to establish their identity.”

“The police have been unable to ascertain the time and place of death, nor have they identified the deceased,” Su Ning sighed. It was most disconcerting when the identity of a cadaver remained elusive. “Let us commence the autopsy.”

Su Ning and Zhang Yuan clearly had no intention of letting Yin Tao participate in the procedure. Despite her being a seasoned female forensic expert, neither man could stomach watching her dissect such a severely decomposed body, let alone an intern.

The instant the scalpel pierced the cadaver, a torrent of dark green fluids erupted, and a noxious, overpowering odor saturated the air, breaching their masks. Even Zhang Yuan's countenance shifted negatively. He turned towards Yin Tao and instructed, "Xiaotao, step back and simply record the observations. There's no need to exert yourself on your first day."
