Jiang Tang is an expert at fortune-telling, reading faces, drawing talismans, and catching ghosts.
After dying and losing all his powers, Jiang Tang became a pitiful orphan.
The poor kid lived in Kowloon Walled City. After witnessing a murder, he was targeted by the killer, who failed to kill him and instead framed him for the crime.
When Jiang Tang arrived, the interrogation-room lights shone in his face as the fearsome officer across from him asked why he'd killed someone.
Jiang Tang: ...
"If you don't let me out soon, you'll suffer a bloody disaster tonight."
The fierce officer, Shao Wenyan, didn't believe him. That very night, the dead person sat up and gave everyone a lesson.
Jiang Tang was escorted out by a crowd of admirers. He rolled up his sleeves. "Move aside. I know this kind of work."
Then, with a group of officers, he followed the walking corpse and found the killer, successfully clearing his name.
When they met again, Jiang Tang had returned to his old trade. He sat among a group of elderly people practicing spirit writing, summoning the dead, and cursing their enemies, while a talent scout in front of him kept chattering about wanting him to make his debut.
Jiang Tang: Thanks, but I really don't want to do a cameo in a zombie movie.
Shao Wenyan handed him a business card. "Interested in becoming a consultant for the police department?"
