Working the Night Shift at a County Funeral Home, I Rely on Corpse Language to Solve Crimes

Three years ago, the "Beishan Sacrifice Pit Case" in Qinghe County shocked the whole city. Song Yan's father, Song Jianguo, was identified as the murderer and fled in fear of crime. Song Yan dropped out of the police academy and returned to the county town with the reputation of being the son of a murderer. He had to work in a funeral home as a night shift body transporter. On his first night on the job, an unknown female body was fished out of the reservoir. Everyone thought it was an ordinary drowning, but Song Yan heard the last words of the deceased in front of the freezer: "Song Jianguo didn't kill me." Since then, corpses of children in paper-making shops, baby swaps in county hospitals, bones in mines, headless cases in ancestral halls, and second corpses in the cremator have appeared one after another. Each corpse leaves only an incomplete corpse language, and each corpse language points to a secret that living people dare not tell. Song Yan must find the truth amid police suspicion, the murderer's silence and the backlash of the corpse's voice. Because he gradually discovered that the really scary thing in Qinghe County was not that the dead could talk, but that the living hid all their sins in the night of the funeral parlor.
