I am a make-up artist in a funeral home, specializing in repairing damaged remains so that the deceased can die peacefully.
The new police officer who moved in from my neighbor praised me for being gentle and kind-hearted, and always sent me condolences from neighbors.
He didn't know that I was handling special bodies of gang members in the morgue late at night.
"The gunshot wound should be patched so that it cannot be seen, and the edge of the wound should be natural."
"The skin tissue in the corpse's fingernails must be cleaned."
"If you don't handle it well, you will be next."
That day the officer knocked on my door with an evidence bag.
"Miss Yu, have you seen this special paint?"
What's in the bag is my specially made cosmetics to cover up corpse spots.
I smiled and shook my head: "I haven't seen it before."
After he left, my phone vibrated with a message from the underworld:
"We have a special client tonight, as per the old rules."
I clicked on the photo, and it was the ID photo of police officer Lu Chen.
