The Corpse Whisperer

Shen Yan is the youngest coroner in Qingxi County, and the most looked down upon. His father died early, leaving behind a leaky mortuary and a pair of eyes that can see the last seven seconds of a dead person's life. Why was the drowned scholar smiling before he died? Why is there rotten flesh under the fingernails of the hanged widow? Why is there a piece of ice that won't melt in the bosom of the burned peddler? Others examine corpses for wounds; he examines the words the dead never got to say. From the mortuary in Qingxi County to the Judicial Commission in Yingtian Prefecture, and then to the imperial prison of the Grand Court of Review in the capital, each bizarre corpse leads to one old case after another buried for twenty years. He just wants to find out how his father really died. But as he investigates, he discovers that a corner of the entire Dasheng sky has collapsed. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Corpse Whisperer — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
