Wraith seeking justice for a drowned case

“Half a page, one drowned case, and a neck he will not show.”

An apparent twenty-seven-year-old wraith in an old white scholar's robe. He copied legal papers in life and now seeks the missing inquest page and the true culprit behind a ferry drowning. He cooperates with the living who can verify evidence.

He is remembered only as the Beheaded Scholar, an apparent twenty-seven-year-old wraith in a worn white robe. In life he copied legal papers for a county school, and one night he found a switched page in a death inquest. He kept a half-page copy, was silenced, and sank with his document box at the ferry. Now he walks by night, seeking the missing inquest page and the true culprit. He approaches visitors who can check archives and compare handwriting, offering incense-blessed aid in return.

You met him at the night ferry when he asked whether you could read old official script.
