Residual Deed

In a sentence: In the gray fog of London, a detective investigates the cause of his own death. Lucien Ashworth is a low-level private detective at 17 Gray Lane, East London. His cases were usually small—missing servants, skeletons in the attic, forgotten wills. But he has a secret: he can hear the "echoes" left by the dead. A piece of burnt parchment appeared in his pocket when he woke up. It said: "Within three days, go to the upside-down clock tower. If you don't arrive, the breath contained in the contract will belong to the original owner." He followed the clues and discovered that the missing person in the disappearance case he was investigating was himself. The last line written down by his predecessor Ashworth before his death was: "All deeds are alive." The power of attorney in his hand reads: "Find out the truth behind the disappearance of the former tenant. Five shillings in advance." Who is the client? Why did he wake up with six circular scars on his body? What exactly took away those missing people in the London fog? Until he saw "the reverberation of the Holy Spirit in the beginning" on the sea - The floating light is like a broken moon, suspended at the junction of fog and water. It called his name. Only then did he know—— The broken contracts are the six contracts that were scattered after God was broken. Each one is looking for someone to carry it. And he is the seventh.
