"I Engaged in Criminal Investigation in the Tang Dynasty" tells the story of modern criminal policeman Chen Mo who accidentally traveled to the Tang Dynasty. As soon as he landed, he was involved in a murderous case on a rainy night and became the number one suspect. With his excellent professional knowledge and modern criminal investigation technology, he not only successfully proved his innocence, but also gained the appreciation and recruitment of Di Renjie.
In this era when there was no fingerprint identification or scientific autopsy, Chen Mo integrated modern criminal investigation methods such as blood stain analysis, trace identification, and logical reasoning into the Tang Dynasty documents in the name of "investigating things to gain knowledge." From murders in the streets to disappearances in the palace, from poisonous poisons in the Western Regions to political intrigues, he and Di Renjie teamed up to repeatedly solve strange cases.
At the same time, he deals with the arrogant and passionate Princess Anle, the intelligent and keen female official Shangguan Ling'er, and the chivalrous and courageous Jianghu woman Murong Shuang, trying to find a balance between emotion and reason. And as a shocking conspiracy involving foreign magic from the Western Regions, corruption of tributes, and even the imperial power gradually surfaced, Chen Mo found that not only did he have to solve the bizarre case, but he was also pushed into the center of the historical whirlpool, becoming a lone warrior from a foreign land who protected the truth and justice of the Tang Dynasty.
