Dee Renjie: Tiangong Murder Case
The first volume [The Case of Injustice] begins with bones with blood written on them appearing on a rainy night. The investigation team composed of Di Renjie and his personal entourage Li Yuanfang, the young minister of Dali Temple Pei Zhongqing and the medicine girl Su Luan'er uncovered the shady story of twenty years of water transportation through clues such as water transportation corruption, dragon robe fragments, and Miao poison. The design of the case centers on the "mermaid veil" turning red when exposed to acid, the cracking of the moss secret room, and the smuggling conspiracy of "unveiling the bottom of the river" in the Yellow River. All supernatural phenomena are given scientific explanations (such as phosphorus powder igniting fire), and the female characters refuse to be materialized and solve the problem with wisdom.
Suspense focus: ① The clues of each corpse form a corruption network diagram; ② The man behind the scenes mutilated himself to create an alibi, and his identity pointed directly at the powerful; ③ The bones and ribs were engraved in blood to reveal the list of officials. The prototype of the case is taken from "Chao Ye Qian Zai", which strictly examines the official prison system of the Tang Dynasty. The subsequent volumes extend to the disputes between Persian secret medicine and Buddhism and Taoism, which ultimately point to a crisis of the political power. The entire series uses "The Word in Blood" as its totem, reconstructing the shadow of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the interweaving of intrigues and intrigues.
