Synopsis

Crimes are committed with godlike cunning, leaving no trace; cases are judged with fairness and sound discernment. Wrongful and unsolved cases were common in ancient times, whether confessions were beaten out of the accused or witnesses were silenced by murder. This book explores strange and unsolved cases from ancient times. The plots are full of twists and turns, and the investigations are rife with complications, while also shedding light on ancient China’s bureaucratic politics and social realities. A couple are found brutally murdered in their home, their possessions all stolen. An ordinary criminal case takes a shocking turn! A drunkard goes missing, his wicked wife frames an innocent man, and the county office beats a confession out of him, wrongfully taking two lives! A body mysteriously disappears, only for the dead to come back to life! The county office excels at solving crimes, while its villains are full of cunning schemes. Come explore the mysteries of ancient cases!
