Chapter 301 "Unnatural Death" is released!
"Unnatural Death".

In the first episode, the plot unfolds.

On the black screen, there is a line of small white characters: unnatural, representing the subtitle of the first episode.

There was a sound of a coin being flicked by fingers, and the word 'unnatural' changed to '女こういしつ' (women's locker room), and the scene smoothly switched to the door of the women's locker room.

The camera pushed inward and gave a close-up of Mikoto Misumi's lunch box.

She picked up a shrimp and put it into her mouth, and the actress Tamako Miyasaka appeared in the camera.

Miyasaka Tamako was born in 90. In 2007, at the age of 17, she participated in the 27th new artist selection of HORIPRO and won the "Perfect Girl" award for the best newcomer, thus officially entering the entertainment industry as an actress.

In the following ten years, she had smooth sailing and quickly became a big star with her beauty and good luck.

She is not only an idol in the hearts of many Japanese girls, but also the dream lover of many Japanese boys.

In the play, Miyasaka Tamako is wearing a light blue professional suit similar to that of a doctor and eating a box lunch deliciously.

Tokai Lin Xizi kept saying:

"The problem lies in the name. For example, although hay fever is now called a national disease, no one knew about it before it was named hay fever. Chemical allergies were also known to the public only after they were given a name."

It starts with a complaint.

"Wouldn't our profession be discouraging for men?"

"Indeed, it will. It's another 7K."

"Two people together can disperse the degree of shock."

"Increasing the density will hit them twice as hard!"

In just a few sentences, it shows how hard their work is and the prejudice they endure.

The scene changes and the camera comes to the men's locker room.

The newly employed Jiube Rokuro chats with the clinical examination technician:
"Are you okay? It's almost time to go to work."

"I really want to quit~"

"Is this job really that bad? By the way, I've heard that this job pays 7K, it's dirty, tiring, and dangerous—"

“I worked as a clinical laboratory technician at an inspection office in Osaka for 24 years, so I’m not dissatisfied with the content of this job.”

"Who are you unhappy with?"

"That guy."

"That rascal?"

"That guy who is 175.6cm tall!"

"No other description?"

The screen flashed with the staff list on the wall.

On the column for forensic anatomist, a name was taped to the doctor: Zhongtang Department.

Obviously, he was the person that Kube Rokuro was talking to the clinical examination technician.

The camera then came to the autopsy room, where Zhongtang was lying on the autopsy table with a towel covering his face, and suddenly stood up.

A conversation can be heard in the background:

"It must be the central hall."

"No one who partners with Zhongtang can last long."

"No one?"

"The longest is three months, the shortest is three days."

"so short."

"Luckily Mikoto is here."

"I was almost transferred to the central hall group."

"What kind of person is that Zhongtang?"

“Keep your distance”

Neon, Johnny's Office.

Zhongze Qiaolong felt heavy-hearted.

In less than a few minutes, a few scenes, a few dialogues, and a few shots, the characters were fully introduced and explained, and at the same time, everyone's personality was also presented.

Tokai Lin Xizi, who is talkative, gossipy, and has some strange ideas;

Misaki Mikoto, who appears to be serious but is a little too much inside;

Kube Rokuro is a naive and curious person;

The Zhongtang family is rumored to have a bad personality.

The pace is fast, clean and neat, without any drag!

At the same time, it also aroused the audience's desire to explore: Why is Zhongtang so "bad"? Why did he sleep on the dissection table? What is his character experience? Is his past divorce related to the subsequent plot?

Zhongze Qiaolong took a deep breath, and the pressure was suddenly apparent:
"Cheng Cheng, this dragon crossing the river is not a simple one."

Next, the small talk officially ends and a conflict arises!
A couple who disagreed with the verdict that their son, Konoshima Wataru, died of ischemic heart disease came to UDI and asked UDI to find out the truth.

With the appearance of this couple, the style of the TV series suddenly changed from the previous warm and down-to-earth daily complaints to a profound discussion of life, death, and truth, and it suddenly became heavy.

During the conversation, the director gave the following data through the mouth of UDI director Yasuo Kamikura:
"In Japan, more than 80% of unnatural deaths are arbitrarily attributed to a cause of death without an autopsy. This autopsy rate is the lowest among developed countries."

The term 'unnatural death' appears in the title for the first time!
At the same time, he also introduced the functions of UDI.

"This Unnatural Death Investigation Institute was established to change the above situation. It is called UDI Lab for short. We are the first nationally certified institute focusing on cause of death investigation in the country."

The above dialogue came out.

Countless Japanese people were terrified.

The rate of unnatural dissection in our country is only 80%?!

Doesn't that mean that the causes of death of many people have not been truly investigated? If we further deduce, are there many murderers at large lurking around us, posing a great threat to our lives?
Nakazawa Qiaolong took a deep breath and got goose bumps all over his body:

The scale and purpose of this drama are so high? !
-

The plot progresses.

The body of the couple's son was sent.

Misumi Mikoto and the Nakadō family had a brief confrontation.

The confrontation ended with Mikoto Misumi defeated and her team dissected the body.

After the autopsy, Misumi Mikoto found no abnormality in her heart, but she had symptoms of acute renal insufficiency, and it was suspected that she died of poison.

An investigation into the death has begun.

At this time, Konoshima's colleague also suddenly died of unknown cause, but unfortunately, he had already been cremated.

At the same time, contradictions began to emerge.

Hisabe Rokuro complained to his friends that he had a problem with Misumi Mikoto and Tokai Lin Yuko: the daughter was dead and the mother was still crying, everything was still vivid in his mind, but on the way back he knew they were all joking, those anatomists didn't treat people as human beings at all.

As the investigation deepened, the first suspect, Konoshima's fiancée, Michiko Baba, appeared in sight.

Mikoto Misumi and others suspected that Konojima had cheated on his colleague, so Michiko Baba killed them all. Moreover, Michiko Baba was indeed in contact with poison, which is one of the supporting evidences.

However, after some tests, the experimental conclusion denied their guess, and the investigation immediately came to a standstill.

In this case, it is only possible to produce the nameless poison using the horse farm method.

However, things took a turn for the worse.

Hisabe Rokuro brought back key information that the deceased had been on a business trip to the Middle East and had caught a cold when he returned.

After a search, Mikoto Misumi discovered the real cause of death!

The deceased died of infection with the MERS virus!

Before one reversal is over, another one arises.

The plot is becoming more and more attractive, and the audience can't take their eyes off the screen!
This TV series is great!
So much content is packed into just thirty minutes!

Neon TV, in the office.

Director Shoji Ogawa frowned and pursed his lips slightly, as if facing a formidable enemy.

He was full of praise for the compact plot, superb acting skills of the actors, and the fine details of the production. But unfortunately, this is a drama produced by Fuji TV! It is a competitor of Japan TV!

Not only him, but also TV Asahi, Kyoto Metropolitan Television, TBS TV, and Metropolitan Television all felt the pressure.

-

At this point, half of the first episode has passed.

After discovering the cause of death, UDI quickly announced the fact to the whole society.

But to everyone's surprise, the public began to blame the dead Konoshima, blaming him for bringing the virus into Japan, and because of him, the whole of Japan fell into chaos.

The mother of Konoshima's deceased colleague was also interviewed by the media and blamed Konoshima for bringing the virus back and killing her daughter.

So, cyber violence began.

How familiar this plot is. Originally, the couple who sent their son's body to UDI because they were unwilling to accept the unexplained death of their son also paid the price for being caught in the whirlpool of public opinion because of the announcement of the real cause of their son's death.

But the story doesn’t end here.

Konoshima's fiancée, Baba Michiko, found Misumi Mikoto and told her:
Koyajima did not enter the country without quarantine as was said online. A responsible person like him would never do that.

At the same time, she also produced evidence.

Through analysis of Konoyajima's movements and the time of contact with Baba Michiko, Misumi concluded that Konoyajima was not infected while on a business trip to the Middle East, but was infected at Dongyang Medical University, which has a coronavirus research group.

If the virus leaks out, Konoshima might be infected.

He is the victim.

Finally, after a race against time, Misaki Mikoto found conclusive evidence from Dongyang Medical University, proving that Dongyang Medical University was the source of infection.

Dongyang Medical University admitted its mistake to the public, held a press conference, and restored the reputation of Koya Island.

In contrast, unlike her successful career, Misaki Mikoto was unsuccessful in love because she was in a hurry to dissect the corpse and missed the meeting with her boyfriend's parents. When she arrived, her boyfriend's parents had already left.

The boyfriend confessed his true feelings to Misumi Mikoto:
"If it's just a normal date, I don't care how long I wait. We have always been like this before. But today, at least today, I hope you can consider our side first. I have always wanted to be your family. Do you think so too? I have always felt a sense of distance between you and me, although I don't know why. We have been dating for three years, but I still feel that I don't understand you. What does this mean? If this goes on, can we become a family?"

Misaki Mikoto's eyes were filled with tears. She slowly sat down, feeling a little helpless and sad.

Just at this moment, Cheng Cheng's voice rang out.

It’s “Lemon”!
"梦(ゆめ)ならばどれほどよかったでしょう" (It would be great if all this was a dream)
无(いま)だにあなたのことを梦(ゆめ)にみる (I can still find you in my dreams)”

As soon as the theme song sounded, countless people's scalps tingled because of Cheng Cheng's voice!

My tear glands were instantly hit.

At the end of the first episode, Konoshima's fiancée, Michiko Baba, was smoking on the rooftop, missing someone; Misaki Mikoto was still eating tempura rice in the dressing room; Kube Rokuro was talking on the phone with the audience, and his ideas had changed:
"Autopsy is really important. Without it, the truth will be lost."

Misaki Mikoto found the Nakadō family.

Zhongtang Xi: "You are so lucky. It is really rare in this rotten society."

Misumi Mikoto: "Isn't it up to you to decide whether it's completely rotten or not?"

"Wait until you can gather all the evidence by yourself before you start bragging."

"Dr. Zhongtang's 3000 dissections combined with my results will add up to 4500 pieces of knowledge. If we work together, won't we be invincible?"

"Invincible? Who is the enemy?"

The music stopped.

Misumi Mikoto said slowly:
"Unnatural death."

This is the end of the first episode.

Japan's famous TV drama screenwriter Shimada Satake closed his eyes.

But if you look closely at his words, you will find:

His eyelashes, his lips, his face!
They are all shaking slightly and quickly!

This is caused by a strong shock to the heart.

At this moment, he didn't know how to describe the shock he felt after watching the first episode of "Unnatural Death"!
The completeness and brilliance of this episode's script was unprecedented in his life! It was no exaggeration to say that he had never seen such an excellent script in his life!
First of all, the plot design and reversal:

The series begins with the mysterious death of Konoshima Watari. The police initially determined that it was ischemic heart disease, but the deceased's parents were suspicious of the cause of death and commissioned UDI to investigate. This setting quickly captured the audience's attention and was fascinating!
There are many unexpected twists in the plot. First, Misaki Mikoto discovered during the autopsy that the cause of death was not ischemic heart disease, but acute kidney injury, suspected to be poisoning. Then, the deceased's female colleague Yuko also died suddenly the next day, adding to the complexity of the case. When the audience thought they had found the poisoning suspect, Michiko Baba, they found that no toxic substances such as ethylene glycol were detected in the biscuits. In the end, the truth was revealed that Konoshima Wataru did not die of poisoning, but was infected with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome MERS.

But it wasn’t over yet. The virus that Konoshima was infected with did not come from the Middle East, but was contracted during a physical examination in the hospital.

Up to this point, the rhythm of the entire series is very tight, with almost no redundant plots. Every investigation and every discovery pushes the plot forward, keeping the audience in a state of tension.

The second is character creation.

After one whole episode, the characters in the play have become very three-dimensional.

As a forensic doctor, Mikoto Misumi not only has strong professional ability, but also has a strong sense of justice and compassion; although Nakadō Kei appears to be indifferent, her pursuit of the truth deep in her heart is unambiguous; as one of the suspects, Michiko Baba's behavior and psychological changes are also shown very delicately.

There are also appearances by Hisabe Rokuro, Tokai Lin Yuko, Kamikura Yasuo, etc.

Moreover, in the tense plot of the first episode, time was also taken to explain Misaki Mikoto's feelings.

It is enough to show that Cheng Cheng's control over the script is simply terrifying!

Finally, the social issues and depth of this TV series.

It doesn't just talk about unnatural deaths.

At the same time, it also reveals various problems and contradictions in society.

Social issues such as the complex human nature hidden behind the case, the boundaries of medical ethics, hospital virus leaks, and cyber violence are all presented. These issues not only have practical significance, but also trigger in-depth thinking and discussion among the audience.

Is this the strength of East Asian literary giants?
Shimada Satake was not convinced before, but he is completely convinced now!
If the subsequent episodes can maintain the level and quality of the first episode, "Unnatural Death" will probably reach an unprecedented height in the history of Japanese dramas!!! The ratings will also achieve a miracle!

After watching the first episode of "Unnatural Death", Yoshihiro Koyama suppressed his excitement and asked Kenichi Sato:

"Tell me the truth, what do you think after watching the first episode?"

"I, I think it's pretty good." Sato Kenichi asked, "President, don't you think so?"

Yoshihiro Koyama sighed and said, "Ah, I think it's good too! But we are the producers. I don't know if it's because of the filter or if the TV series is really good. I can't tell now. I'm afraid that I think it's good, but the market feedback is not good."

Kenichi Sato felt that what Yoshihiro Oyama said was right.

If you watch other people's TV series, you can of course tell the difference at a glance, but it is different when you watch your own work. People cannot objectively evaluate their own work based on their own standpoints.

For example, take Yu Hua.

Before publishing Brothers, I thought my book was so awesome, it would be a huge success, comparable to One Hundred Years of Solitude, it was so damn awesome, but after publishing it, I was scolded like a bastard, the biggest criticism I’ve ever received since I became a writer.
It was not until many years later that he was rehabilitated.

Sato Kenichi said, "President, you are right, but I think Director Cheng Cheng's works are definitely different. Even if I abandon the subjective factors, I think Unnatural Death is good. It is not just an ordinary good drama. It is a shocking and impeccable drama. No one should dislike it."

Oyama Yoshihiro: “Really?”

Sato Kenichi: “Really.”

Xiaoshan Xibo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, at least you have confirmed my idea, but we still have to see the feedback and tomorrow's ratings."

Sato Kenichi also said: "Yes, everything depends on the ratings."

He also became nervous.

On the Japanese Internet, audiences are already talking about "Unnatural" like crazy!
The entire Japanese Internet is full of Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng, unnatural death, unnatural death, unnatural death, Miyasaka Tamaki, Miyasaka Tamaki, Miyasaka Tamaki, Miyasaka Tamaki, nameless poison, nameless poison, nameless poison, nameless poison!
"I declare this the best TV show of the year!"

"Unnatural death is deified! Cheng Chengjun is deified!"

"When we thought the truth was out and the matter was over, we discovered that another invisible murder case of "cyber violence" had been created. The parents of the deceased were unreasonably accused by the media. I lamented that this was reality. Later, the truth really came out. What I saw was that the dean who "obliterated" the truth also had to face countless mobile phone verbal violence.
The nameless poison may also be the invisible "enemy", that is, ourselves."

"Cheng Chengjun is really great. He always observes reality and is always committed to making the world a better place. He is really a very gentle person!"

“Yes, when “Lemon” first started playing, I started crying immediately!”

"It keeps turning around. Cheng Chengjun is amazing! In other dramas, the plot capacity of the first episode would take at least three episodes, right?!"

"What surprised me was that more than 80% of the unnatural deaths in Japan were randomly assigned causes of death without autopsies. Is this true? If so, this situation should be changed, right? I didn't expect that Cheng Chengjun was the first to discover this and wrote it into the script. Compared to Cheng Chengjun, what are other screenwriters in Japan doing?"

“I first fell in love with Cheng Chengjun’s appearance, but then I fell in love with his thoughts.

The nameless poison: This phrase has three meanings. It refers to the undetected infectious virus that makes people nervous, and also to the poison of human desire that the hospital leaked the virus but intended to conceal it. Finally, it once again points to the poison of rumors that do not know the truth, and continue to spread panic and destroy trust between people on the Internet and in real life.

These four short words and the ruthlessness of a short episode condensed the most common scenes in the world, and the many "poisons" that humans really need to face in the face of disasters. Although the nameless poison is terrible, if humans cannot be honest with each other and unite to move forward, it will be difficult to overcome the difficulties. "

The forensic doctor also stood up and expressed his gratitude to Cheng Cheng:
"'Forensic medicine is a job that exists for the future', when this sentence came out, I really had the urge to cry, and felt the long-lost feeling of being respected. The 7Ks in the play are real in our work. 7K means dangerous, dirty, hard, too many rules, can't take leave, can't put on makeup, and can't get married. Thank you Cheng Chengjun for filming such a drama, thank you."

Under his comments, many netizens left him messages:

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it after watching this drama. You are all a great group of people."

"I salute all the forensic doctors who have dedicated themselves silently behind the scenes. You are the bravest 'detectives' of this era!"

"I have a new understanding and respect for the profession of forensic medicine. I am grateful to all forensic doctors. You have brought more warmth and light to this world."

"If I meet you in my life, I will definitely go up and hug you."

In addition to the forensic doctor and netizens, a famous film critic on the Japanese Internet also posted a blog post praising Cheng Cheng:

“It’s great to watch Cheng Chengjun’s drama. His drama has the gentleness and justice that our Japanese dramas have lost for a long time.

It is really hard to imagine that this is a Japanese drama script written by a Tianxia person. Even though Cheng Chengjun is such a literary giant, it is enough to surprise people.

I was wondering why Unatural could move me. Although I am indeed a person who is easily "moved", after my tears dried up, I calmed down and thought about why this drama is so amazing.

As someone who has watched countless suspense dramas and detective dramas, this drama is not so hardcore to me, and it is even a bit unorthodox. It is more like a mystery drama disguised as a forensic drama. After watching too many dramas of the same type, sometimes you can even guess the reversals and routines. Especially when you finish it in one go, you can feel the hidden core of the eight o'clock drama heroine. You see, this drama is just that after being deconstructed, but when I think of the plot and hear Cheng Chengjun's singing, I start to cry, nod and cry along with the melody, and then overturn all the self-righteous rational analysis just now.

"Dr. Zhongtang's 3000 dissections combined with my results will add up to 4500 pieces of knowledge. If we work together, won't we be invincible?"

"Invincible? Who is the enemy?"

"Unnatural death."

These three sentences are enough to summarize the core of the whole drama. It is simple but powerful enough. The main theme is that forensics is the job of the future!
There is concern behind every dead character, and every deceased character represents a person's happiness and redemption. They can represent you and me, and ordinary people who are constantly struggling for life. This is the reason for fighting against "unnatural death", and this is why I like unatural.

In this film, Tamako Miyasaka also gave a very good acting performance.

She is not a typical heroine who is overwhelmed by grief and cannot laugh. She still laughs and talks during work, but she is very serious about her work and will not stop working just because she seems to be laughing and casual. There are some sad stories hidden under her smile. Even after breaking up, she can quickly adjust her state and find the Zhongtang system to declare her own declaration to fight against "unnatural death".

The heroine is really strong. She allowed me to see another side of Miyasaka Tamako. I feel this will be her transformational work.

The only thing I'm worried about is that the first episode is too good, and I hope the rest will be too bland. Anyway, I believe in Cheng Chengjun's ability."
