Bizarre murders occurred one after another in Linjiang City [Volume unit text]
The clock, crescent moon, sun and other twelve earthly branch symbols have become the only clues, behind which lies the huge conspiracy of the mysterious organization "Earthly Branches" - they forged pre-Qin bronze plates, used symbolic rituals to create panic, and attempted to make huge profits. On the Linjiang Bridge on the night of the winter solstice, the symbols of the twelve earthly branches were all lit up, and the ceremony was about to start. When the truth about the bronze plate was exposed and the organization's lies were shattered, they finally avenged the deceased, and this trust and bond that spanned life and death also became the eternal force to protect the safety of Linjiang City.
Real estate tycoons, philanthropic celebrities... These glamorous dead all have an ancient and ferocious blood symbol left beside them. From "Taotie" to "Flower of the Other Side", every symbol is a trial of a perfectly disguised "original sin". Is it a trial? Is it revenge? Or is it the beginning of another bigger conspiracy?
Watch how the two detectives of ice and fire survive the desperate situation, crack the ghosts of the past in the maze of symbols, and prevent this perfect killing that spans twenty years!
From the ancient alleys of the Ming Dynasty that hide mysteries, to the abandoned Taoist temples where Feng Shui has become evil, the two detectives are also racing against time while pursuing the truth. What they have to face is not only a crazy "ritual performer" with high IQ, but also a shocking secret buried deep in the dust of history, concerning the fate of a national treasure and distorted beliefs.
