"The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" successfully created "China's Sherlock Holmes" and was translated into and published in many foreign languages, leaving a significant mark in the history of cultural exchanges between China and the world. Fifteen versions of the translated version of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" are planned to be published. Zhang Ling, who has studied Gao Luopei for many years, will be responsible for the translation and write annotations and postscripts that are both academic and readable. However, because it is the only version on the market that can be independently translated by one person, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so five types ("The Golden Case", "The Iron Nail Case", "The Lakeside Case", "The Bronze Bell Case" and "The Labyrinth Case") are first released for readers. Each volume is equipped with illustrations created by Gauloppe himself, which are full of ancient charm and pleasing to the eye.
"The Iron Nail Case" tells the story of the year 676, when Di Gong was transferred to Beizhou County Magistrate and solved the case of the headless female corpse, the poisoning case of the master Jade, and the sudden death of Lu Ming. Later he was promoted to the minister of Dali Temple in the capital. Hong Liang was killed while handling the case.

I especially like the way he calmly analyzes the case. There is also the character Hong Liang. He is loyal and brave, and he solves cases with Judge Dee, which makes people feel at ease. However, what I hate the most is the cunning murderer, he is so abominable! The story of this book has ups and downs and the characters have distinct personalities, which made me read it with gusto. I highly recommend you read it too!
