The Secret in the Cremation Furnace

I'm a corpse makeup artist at the county funeral home.

For three years, I've secretly taken real gold and silver from the dead and replaced it with cheap market-stall jewelry.

The families won't find out.

They're going to be pushed into the cremator and burned to ashes anyway.

I've saved nearly 200,000 yuan from the jewelry on the dead.

I spent it all on the life-prolonging medicine my daughter needs for her congenital heart disease.

I planned to save enough for the surgery next month, then quit for good.

But this morning, they brought in the body of a man who died in a car accident.

While covering his injuries with makeup, I noticed a clear ligature mark around his neck.

He wasn't killed by a car.

Someone strangled him to death.
