The former emperor died suddenly, the new emperor was established, and the undercurrent in the capital was turbulent.
Shen Yan, the former commander of the Jinwu Guards, resigned from his post due to an old case. However, he was invited by the general Su Jingyan to join the general's mansion and take the lead in establishing the "Suspicion-solving Department". The four men under his command are all outliers among the retired Forbidden Army:
——The scout who is good at tracking and finding traces was born in Qin Feng, and can trace out three miles with half a footprint;
——Wen Jingran, a scholar who knows criminal law and is good at autopsy, cuts through the human heart and ghosts like a scalpel;
——Lao Zhou, a veteran of the craftsman camp who knows the hidden weapons of the machine, can unlock the secret room like searching for objects;
——Liu Qingmei, a liaison officer from three religions and nine schools, can change all the information in the capital with just one sentence.
This was to investigate some trivial matters for the general's palace, but unexpectedly, a "case of the hanged embroiderer" led to the mystery of the corpse's disguise. Following the clues, a series of puzzles including counterfeit currency cases, missing official cases, and theft of ordnance cases were revealed.
Every small case contains tiny clues, which together lead to a shocking conspiracy leading to the death of the late emperor. Old cases are unsolved, new cases are arising, the forces in the court are at odds with each other, and ghosts and ghosts are secretly at work. The five members of the Suspicion Department must race against time to uncover the real murderer, but also beware of the swords and shadows in the dark.
Shen Yan's waist was aching from an old injury. The old case that made him take off his armor was actually closely related to the series of secret cases in front of him. There are secrets hidden in the general's palace, and there is a dark shadow behind the new emperor. Can the retired veterans of the Forbidden Army break the mystery with their broken bodies and protect their homeland with their blood?
