One day, a murder takes place in the busiest part of Luoyang’s Eastern Market. A wealthy merchant from the Western Regions is found dead under bizarre circumstances in his own shop. His eyes are wide open, as if he had witnessed something horrifying. There are no obvious wounds on his body, only a tiny spot of blood over his heart, with the surrounding skin turned bluish-black.
