About This Novel

In the autumn of the fifth year of Taiyuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 380), Kangcheng was built. Just as Fu Jian, the leader of the Qin Dynasty, was planning to annex Jiangzuo to the south, a series of strange secret room murders happened one after another like ghosts in the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The deceased were all officials, craftsmen, and messengers related to the military and political affairs of the Northern Expedition. The doors and windows at the scene were locked from the inside, and no trace could be found except for a black iron token with the word "punishment" engraved in Qin seal. The government and the public were shocked, and rumors spread everywhere, saying that this was a "natural punishment" and a witchcraft from the Qin Dynasty that would shake the country's foundation. Zhuge Wuyou knew very well that these ten "secret room heavenly punishment" cases were by no means ordinary murders. Behind it is the precise spying and psychological deterrence of the Eastern Jin Dynasty by the Qin spies, and it is also a silent vanguard battle on the eve of the decisive battle of Feishui. To solve a crime is to defeat the enemy. He is not alone. Dr. Xie Chengzhi, an alcoholic but well-versed in the mysteries of the human body, uses his exquisite autopsy skills to listen to the last whispers of the deceased from the flesh and blood of the bones. Duan Yu, a Beifu Army scout who is as silent as iron and has superb martial arts skills, has become a sharp blade to pierce the fog because of his background in the Xianbei Murong tribe and his understanding of the various tribes in the North. One man, one doctor, one martial artist, three seemingly unrelated people, their destinies are intertwined because of this heinous mystery.
