I am Shen Yan, a former reserve soldier at Taipei Hospital, now a retired soldier in Qingxi County. I wanted to earn enough salary for three years, so I took the scraps of money I had saved to retire in Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, I encountered a "ghost murder" case just after I took office - the deceased was completely unharmed, except for a black handprint on his heart, and the oil lamp in the workroom always turned on by itself in the middle of the night.
The county magistrate Lu Qingya dragged me to investigate the case, the old detective Lao He hid behind me and trembled, and even the drugstore proprietress Su Yuniang came over to hand over the "ghost-expelling charm". Looking at the mess in front of me, I just wanted to throw off my robe: "Whoever wants to join this class will join, I just want to fish!"
But the dead don't tell me the rules, and one after another supernatural murders come to my door: the female corpse immersed in the well will open her eyes in the middle of the night, the paper money burned to the deceased will turn into a bloody charm, and even the county government's big drum will ring by itself in the middle of the night.
I was forced to hold an autopsy knife and compete with the "ghost" in the morgue - either because I wanted to investigate the case, or because I didn't. Before I could save enough of my salary, I had to become the next person to die.
Even if it's a mess, it's still a mess, but your life still needs to be saved. Just by checking, I found that behind these "ghost cases", there is a human heart that is more terrifying than ghosts, and the real reason why I was demoted...
