The dead can speak.
Shen Qing has believed that for over a decade.
From his days as a forensic examiner with the city bureau to his life as a junior coroner in ancient times, he still believes it.
But in the ancient world, he discovers that while the dead can speak, the living are far better at silencing people.
He has solved many cases and seen the tears of many living people.
Someone once asked him, “You’re just a junior coroner. Why risk your life to investigate?”
Shen Qing replied, “Because some things the dead can’t say for themselves.”
He has to speak for them.
Even if the trail leads back to him.
