Watson Paranormal Detective Agency

Beyond Jiangcheng lies a lone village called Bachelor Village. Strange happenings lurk in the mortal world, and they all fall under Hua Sheng’s purview.

With a legacy spanning a century and 108 generations, the Hua Sheng Paranormal Detective Agency has, under its current director Liu Huasheng, remained the Jiangcheng Police Bureau’s most trusted “outside help” for unusual cases. The agency’s secret archive, The Paranormal Case Files, records the countless bizarre cases solved by its predecessors. It serves as both a guide and a warning.

When three strange murders occur in quick succession, all the victims are from Bachelor Village, and each is found with a creepy little wooden doll beside them. What seems like an ordinary string of murders soon reveals an unmistakably supernatural quality. Liu Huasheng joins forces with his beautiful assistant Qiao Qianqian and the decisive, beautiful Inspector Chen Meiling. From a secluded carving shop at the edge of the city to the mysterious Bachelor Village, they venture deeper and deeper into the fog.

Once a poor village where no one would marry, it is now a place where every household has taken a beautiful bride. The village lies dark at night, without a single light, hiding secrets no one knows. What connects the identical knife wounds on the victims, their lack of any struggle, and the eerie wooden dolls? As the investigation progresses, the strangeness of Bachelor Village grows ever more oppressive. Is it a curse, black magic, ghostly mischief, or the unfathomable depths of the human heart? Guided by The Paranormal Case Files and his own keen intelligence, Liu Huasheng seeks the truth on the border between the living and the dead. This hunt for a killer that crosses the divide between humans and ghosts has only just begun...
