We Agreed on Scientific Crime Solving, So Why Do You See Ghosts Every Day?

Lu Tingyuan, a Chinese detective in the French Concession, can't stand anything supernatural. But he's forced to team up with Shen Qinghe, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who deals with the paranormal, to solve cases.

She flicks talismans; he wields a gun. She guides spirits onward; he apprehends criminals.

He scoffs, "Stop pretending to be a medium."

She smiles. "Detective Lu, the woman in red behind you is touching your shoulder."

Later, he takes a curse meant for her, and she saves his life.

As blood-red cheongsams sweep across Shanghai, he leans close to her forehead and murmurs, "Don't be afraid. I believe you."
