I look forward to seeing you in the comments. Li Mubai, magistrate of Qinghe County, is a notoriously muddleheaded official. He solves cases by “guessing,” yet has never once wronged an innocent person. No one knows he’s hiding a dangerous secret: he can hear people’s thoughts. A woman accused of murdering her husband kneels in the courtroom, wailing and sobbing, but he hears her laughing inwardly: “What a fool. He actually believes this.” A scholar whose belongings have been stolen looks grief-stricken, but he hears the other man cursing under his breath: “The silver’s under the bed. Let’s see how you find it.” Using his mind-reading ability, he plays dumb and plays the pig to eat the tiger, solving one strange case after another. He also gradually discovers that the waters of Qinghe County run far deeper than he imagined. When a sinister hand from the imperial court reaches into the county office, and a string of murders points to an old case from twenty years ago, Li Mubai has no choice but to drop his muddleheaded disguise and use his mind-reading ability to tear through layer after layer of deception. This time, he must hear what lies in the hearts of everyone in the Great Jing Dynasty. Historical suspense, supernatural crime-solving, episodic cases, political intrigue, detective fiction
