In Qiusu City, a student from the Department of Political Science and Law touched the ebony box carved with a lotus pattern in the west wing of his grandmother's old house. His fingertips suddenly felt hot, and time and space overturned, and he fell into Jinmen in the 17th year of the Republic of China.
The yellowed letters in the camphor wood box were spread out, and every word was about the past that the grandmother had never told. It turned out that the "big dream" mentioned by the old man was never false. She had also been a person who traveled across time and space. This wooden box was a link between two generations traveling through hundreds of years. The handwritten notes are full of strange and murderous cases in Jinmen, including the murder of an actress in red at the theater, the mysterious disappearance of foreign businessmen, and the hidden shadows of blood in the mansions of wealthy families. These unsolved cases that were limited by the times became the first puzzle for him after traveling back in time.
In troubled times, Jinmen is surrounded by wars, legal principles are covered in dust, and authority covers the sky. With the rigorous thinking of modern criminal investigation and simple investigation tools, he pursues the truth among the rainy alleys and western-style buildings. Fortunately, he is escorted by the iron-blooded warlord, who uses thunderous means to overcome the obstruction of the powerful, and the iron cavalry clears the way, opening up a path for him to investigate the evil in the chaotic world.
If there are no advanced instruments, you can use your ingenuity to identify traces of tiny objects; if there are obstacles from a wealthy family, you can use your sharpness to break through the layers of confusion. The wooden box hides the secrets of time and space, and the letters lead to clues to solve the case. He pieced together his grandmother's past during the Republic of China in one murderous case after another, and stood side by side with fellow travelers to guard the everlasting justice in troubled times.
Separated by a hundred years and inherited from one another, the two generations' obsession with justice finally emerged in the war of the Republic of China, using the case as a blade to cut through the fog.
