An Occult Intern Stumbles Onto a Crime Scene

As soon as Lin Jian hit a rough patch in his fortune, his master kicked him out of the deep mountains where he’d lived for twenty years.

With no money to his name and only a letter of introduction, he hiked two hundred kilometers over mountains and through rivers before finally reaching the address his master had given him.

Lin Jian raised his dust-covered face and saw an old building that looked about as rundown as could be. A sign stood by the entrance to the stairwell, bearing hideously ugly writing:

“Divination... Feng Shui... Fortune-telling... Avert disasters... 50 yuan an hour, a bargain! No charge if we’re wrong!”

Lin Jian: ...Maybe I should just go back to the mountains?

.

There was no going back to the mountains.

With the help of his senior brothers, Lin Jian managed to enroll in school and became a model young man of the modern age.

From then on, he was busy with classes and part-time jobs, occasionally taking a job from one of his senior brothers for a little extra cash. He was so busy that even his all-yin constitution improved, and he never ran into a ghost.

As expected, the scariest ghost of all is a poor one.

When poor ghosts are on the prowl, all other ghosts flee!

.

Lin Jian happily went about his poor-ghost life until one day, his senior brother passed him a big job.

He hopped on his little electric scooter, full of energy, and arrived early at the part-time job site. He eagerly pushed open the door

Only to see blood all over the floor, pieces of mangled flesh, and bright yellow crime scene tape.

In the middle of a group of police officers, a tall man radiating menace turned around. A badge for the xx Criminal Investigation Team hung around his neck. His face icy, he looked Lin Jian up and down, then let out a scornful laugh steeped in materialism.

“Well, look who it is. The expert recommended by the city bureau.”

Lin Jian: ...

Help, a real ghost!

A hardline materialist criminal investigation captain x a genius trainee in the occult arts who thinks he’s ordinary. The couple solve cases together.

Theme: Good and evil are repaid in kind.
