GHOST DETECTIVE: Li Xiajun

TW: Bloodshed, Suicide, Trauma (Disclaimer: MC has no super powers other than being able to see ghosts, even if the cover may imply otherwise) ______________________ [Excerpt:] "Come out. I want to talk." It was a full minute before the ghost decided to walk through the wall and came to stand in the middle of the room, right over her death spot. She didn't say anything for the longest of whiles and Xiajun had started to worry that Zhaohui would return, so he decided to initiate conversation. "Your name is," Xiajun remembered from the file he had read, "Miss Zeng Suyin?" The ghost nodded and stared wide-eyed at Xiajun. "Y-you can see me?" Her voice was a hoarse whisper, one that suited the dead. Xiajun tried to hide the shiver that went down his spine. "I can. In fact, I may be the only one to do so. My confrere will be back any moment now, so we must get this done with. There are some questions I'd like to ask you," Xiajun said as he pulled a pad and a pen out of his pant pocket. Miss Suyin remained silent. "First of all," he said as he glanced over the ghost of the woman once, "who killed you?" ___________________________ Top Detective Li Xiajun has a secret.

False Judgment?

Xiajun was deemed fit enough to return to the guest house the next day, though his bruises were worse than ever.

"They'll fade in a week or two," the nurse assured as she pressed a white jar into his hands. "Though remember to take care of the wounds and dress them properly. Apply the ointment if the pain doesn't go away."

"I'll keep that in mind," he said as he put the white jar in his pocket along with the mask he had found on the previous night. "Take care."

He wasn't surprised to see that his room had been wrecked, ransacked from top to bottom in search of something valuable. His suitcase had been flipped over and all the contents were piled out in a heap. The mattress had been overturned and slashed with a dagger, though his phone had been left on his nightstand. 

But most importantly, his gun was gone. He didn't want to think what the culprit would do with it.
