Chen Jiuyang, a young detective in the Bone Refining Realm, woke up and became a prisoner on death row waiting to be executed.
The 150,000 taels of tribute silver escorted by the third uncle mysteriously disappeared in Heifeng Gorge. The evil wind was raging and the water was rising to the sky. All the evidence pointed to the "dragon causing trouble".
After three days of questioning, the men of the whole family were exiled to the Southern Wilderness, and the women were sent to the Jiaofangsi.
In a desperate situation, the instinct of a former criminal investigator awakens.
The time difference of the demonic wind, the chemical traces of the water explosion, the precise fall of the silver car... Every overlooked detail in the file was rearranged in his mind.
"This is not a monster committing a crime - this is a well-planned 'man-made disaster'!"
When everyone was tracking the monster, he peeled off the cocoon on death row and used his past life knowledge to reproduce the counterfeit silver that "exploded when exposed to water", uncovering a shocking scam that could steal the sky and change the day.
Deputy Qianhu of the Night Patrol Department broke the rules for him, and the genius girl from Qintian Prison became interested in him, but the real mastermind was still sneering in the dark.
From a death row prisoner to a secret stake in the Night Patrol Division, from a small policeman in a border town to being in charge of the "Demon Slayer Division".
Chen Jiuyang gradually discovered that the so-called "monsters" in this world are far more complicated than what is written in the files——
The rich and powerful use sorcery to make profits, the court uses demon cases to fight among parties, and the border officials use demon troubles to train troops.
And the only thing he could trust was the knife in his hand that he brought from death row and was specially designed to kill the "demon in the human heart".
"Sir, the file says that this case was caused by a black dragon."
Chen Jiuyang stroked the blade and looked up into the darkness:
"But the murderer I found is in the court."
It's so beautiful, come on
