Ghosts Never Lie

Cheng Xu is not afraid of ghosts—because he was born without fear. As an insurance investigator, he can see all the dead and knows a secret: ghosts never lie; they only "beautify death into art." Petal corpses, moonlight souls, firefly skeletons... the more beautiful the ghost, the more tragic the death. A case of insurance fraud at a guesthouse buries him alive at the bottom of a pit, and the truths behind twenty beautified ghosts all point to the same murderer. When the law refuses to accept the testimony of the voiceless, Cheng Xu decides to let the ghosts take the witness stand—using deaths too ugly to beautify to tear off the final filter of truth.
