The blockbuster new addition to Forensic Qin Ming's 2026 popular science series! This is the second installment of the Forensic Qin Ming popular science collection—a forensic reference book every mystery enthusiast deserves, and a "Museum of Death" even more comprehensive than the original Forensic Qin Ming series!

Derived from 3,000 real autopsy files, these are the bizarre ways of dying seen through the eyes of a forensic doctor! Featuring 6 major types of unnatural death and investigations into 37 causes of death, this is the truth about mortality that only a forensic pathologist dares to show you. Manual strangulation, choking, hypothermia, electrocution, inhibitory death, water intoxication, crush asphyxia... These unheard-of death investigations will lead you into the authentic world of forensics! Professional! Comprehensive! Shocking!

An escape guide to 37 "Grim Reaper Universes"—every time you open this book, it's a "rebirth" experience! In every parallel universe, there is an "unlucky" protagonist named Xia Xiaoxi. Whether she is an impatient truck driver, a card-playing housewife, or an employee at a team-building event, she faces a crisis of death regardless of her identity. Could her tragedy have been avoided? We hope you find the answer after reading.

Have a serious conversation with death; this is a mandatory course concerning the life and death of us all! "If you do not pay attention to death, you cannot truly see life." Combining his professional experience and personal stories, Forensic Qin Ming discusses death with everyone to help identify danger signals in daily life. Precisely because life has an end, we should live it to the fullest, with joy and enrichment.

Breaking through blind spots, your perceptions will be overturned every five minutes! "As long as the head is exposed, being buried in soil is fine"? "After getting drunk, it's okay as long as you don't sleep on your stomach"? "Gulping down a bottle of alcohol is bad for the body, but switching it to water is fine"? "If a plastic bag is over your head, you won't suffocate as long as the opening isn't tied tight"? All of the above are wrong! What you believe to be "common sense" might just be a fatal misconception.
