You Are Actually Dead

I am Shen Du, a death scene reconstructionist. After twelve years of work and more than two hundred cases, dead men never lie. Until I took over Gu Wantang's case. She died in a locked room, without a murderer or a struggle, with her hands folded as if she was asleep. Her picture has my name written on the back. There was a line in the book she was reading: "Have you ever thought that you are actually dead?" Ten hours after her death, she sent me a text message using the mobile phone number registered with her ID card: "Don't look for the murderer. Look for yourself." I went to check her past and found out—— The "Shen Du" she knew was not the Shen Du I was. And the "self" I know is just a walking zombie who has forgotten that he is dead. Now, someone wants me to find out the truth. But the truth is—— What the living cannot find, the dead can see.
