In the 20th year of the Republic of China, rainy nights on the beach in Shanghai were always not peaceful.
On the last tram, a smiling corpse appeared out of thin air. The deceased was holding a piece of yellow paper with the word "borrow" written in cinnabar tightly in his palm. The forensic doctor said it was an acute illness, but Gu Yanqiu, the Chinese detective in the patrol room, refused to close the case - he was a scientific believer who had returned from studying in France, and the thing he didn't believe in the most was ghosts and gods.
Until he met Shen Qingwu.
The young owner of Qingwutang White House has a "yinshi" skill passed down from his ancestors. He can see ghosts and communicate with yin and yang. He doesn't say anything serious, but with his eyes he can see the "debts" carried by living people. He said: There is a "Book of Borrowing from the Underworld" in this world, which falls in the world and borrows the lives of living people to fill the holes in the underworld. On that book, there were names written one after another.
Every time someone dies, there is one less name in the book. With each case investigated, Gu Yanqiu's belief in science was shattered.
Dignitaries and dignitaries in Shanghai died suddenly and suddenly in "accidents" one after another. Trams, theaters, and banks were full of traces of borrowed documents. All clues ultimately point to the same person - Lin Shuzhi, Gu Yanqiu's mentor who has been missing for five years. The warning letter written half a year ago was lying quietly on the table: Yin Secretary, do not investigate.
A detective who doesn't believe in ghosts, and a gentleman who is used to seeing ghosts.
A shocking situation of exchanging lives for lives, a book of life and death that should not be left in the world.
