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.

"I remember it being only 5 months ago," he started, grimacing at the vague memory, "when I first discovered my brother's body. He'd overdosed himself to death, in this very house," he gestured around with his free hand, his eyes on Xiajun, "and Eumeh's room used to be his. I couldn't think of any reason why he'd do something like that, not when he'd had so many big dreams. He talked of being an astronaut, an explorer."

The more Junjie talked, the more hysterical his tone got. Xiajun shifted nervously, as if watching a man descend into madness.

"I spent weeks, day and night trying to figure out why he did what he did." Junjie gulped, raking a shaky hand through his hair. "I loved him. He was my only family, the only one I truly cared for."

"What about your wife?" Xiajun asked, risking a question. "And your daughter? You never 'truly' cared about them?"
