Fu Jiahang is a private detective who can “see” the last traces of the dead. His ghostly eyes make him the bane of criminals, but also leave him with a loneliness he keeps hidden. Witty and humorous, exceptionally skilled in a fight, and popular with women, he trusts only himself and is terrified of heights.
One strange and baffling murder case follows another:
At the grand Luan Family Manor, the Third Madam meets a tragic end. Behind the bloody crime are brothers at each other's throats and cold-blooded schemes to frame the innocent.
In a desolate village, the “Fire Qilin” howls through the rainy night. The truth reveals an appalling crime: the kind-hearted have been kidnapped, and human nature corrupted.
In Fengbo Town, the sanctimonious mayor Su Wei is a beast in human form, weaving a dark web that devours countless women.
At the bustling Yunzhong Banquet restaurant, its generous owner suddenly dies. Beneath the mask of a “good person” lurk the hideous faces of greed and betrayal.
At the incense-filled Jixiang Temple, Elder Jingxuan, a man who professes compassion, is a demon in monk's robes, using faith to commit bestial acts.
Fu Jiahang does not fight alone. Fang Jiajun, a detective who loathes evil, entrusts him with his life. Su Qing, his lively and resilient confidante, never leaves his side. Luan Zhijie, the orphan of Luan Family Manor with peerless marksmanship, follows him loyally. Yu Qing, the tragic “Fire Qilin” who has been given a new life, also becomes an ally. Together, they form the Ghost Investigation Office and seek the truth through the fog.
Yet the road to justice is full of thorns. Trust is betrayed when Fang Jiajun dies, and the woman he loves is brutalized when Su Qing is disfigured. The depths of human nature repeatedly shake Fu Jiahang's convictions. Each case marks another step in his growth.
