Tianjin in the Republic of China: I Solve Strange Cases with My Yin-Yang Eyes

In 1934, Tianjin was rocked by a string of bizarre murders, and rumors spread like wildfire. I am Lu Chenzhou, captain of the criminal investigation team, burdened by the old hatred of my family's slaughter and charged with unraveling mysteries of life and death. A courtesan is found dead, leaving behind a jade hairpin that captures an image. With my Yin-Yang Eyes, I glimpse the killer's motive. Blood is drained at gambling dens, secrets are hidden in churches, and paper effigies demand lives: all human crimes. Bai Sue investigates the bodies and tracks down clues, Zhao Wuhen uses mechanisms to crack the cases, and Chen Tieyi risks his life to protect the truth. Behind every corpse lies a truth concealed by the powerful. I believe in no gods or ghosts, only cause and effect. The flames from twenty years ago will finally illuminate the darkness of today.
