In Shanghai in the 21st year of the Republic of China, when a detective studying abroad meets a girl who has a traditional Chinese medicine, it is like Sherlock Holmes meeting Li Shizhen - the scene of solving the case is comparable to a debate competition between Chinese and Western medicine.
Lu Mingzhe brought his fingerprint powder and scalpel, firmly believing that science could explain everything, until he met Lin Suxin: the daughter of Huichun Hall used three silver needles to diagnose lies, relied on a handful of herbs to find out the real culprit, and could even hear "This person didn't tell the truth last night" from his pulse.
When the Zhou Mansion murder case tore away Shanghai's glitzy mask, the detective agency was forced to start a "mix-and-match mode": reporter Shen Qingru used the tip of a pen to dig out dirty information, profiler A Ruan relied on eye-reading mind reading to identify suspects, magician Luo Yunsheng performed tricks to collect evidence, and Lin Suxin's acupuncture not only cured diseases, but also made the murderer confess obediently despite the sore acupuncture points.
They chased cars on Xiafei Road, hid in teahouses in alleys, looked for clues in the singing and dancing of Paramount, and solved mysteries in the scent of medicine in the traditional Chinese medicine hall. Some people say that they are a "gathering team": detectives believe in traditional Chinese medicine, doctors act as detectives, reporters love taking risks, and magicians do detective work. But it is this group of "cross-border talents" who use science and tradition to create sparks of justice in the cracks between foreign companies, concessions and gangs.
After all, there are so many rules for solving crimes in Shanghai, a place where people are mixed up. Sometimes you need Lu Mingzhe's magnifying glass to find fingerprints, and sometimes you have to rely on Lin Suxin's sight, hearing and questioning to identify the real culprit. When the scalpel of Western medicine meets the silver needle of Chinese medicine, when rigorous reasoning meets mysterious folk remedies - this time the murderer may have met his match!
