In the 23rd year of Wanli's reign in Jinlin City, a female corpse wearing a wedding dress floated in the canal. The deceased was holding a faded wooden carving of koi, which was exactly the same as the "red carp case" that shocked the government and the public six years ago.
Shen Wangyan, the second-generation corrupt official, was forced to take over the case. This young master of the Ministry of Justice kept talking about "just lying down" all day long, but he had amazing on-site reconstruction capabilities. He had to cooperate with the money-obsessed female litigator Su Xiaotang - this girl who is obsessed with money can recite the "Da Ming Law" backwards and forwards, but is so afraid of ghosts that she has to sing "Song of Righteousness" while walking at night.
When the "open detectives" met the "litigation stick koi", they discovered that the water transportation account book password was hidden in the faded wood carvings, the red dye was produced in the Western Regions, and the little finger of each deceased person's left hand was cut off...
"This case can't be solved even with more money?" Su Xiaotang's hands were shaking as she counted the banknotes.
Shen Wangyan looked at the newly appeared corpse and sighed: "Is it too late to run away now?"
