At twenty-seven, Shen Yan was the most unconventional detective in Jinling.
Falsely accused, he left Beiping for Jinling to seek the truth, only to stumble into a bloody mystery on the Qinhuai River: a murder in a sealed pleasure boat, a business tycoon dead, and a copper token in the victim's palm as the only clue.
He cracked the locked-room case in an instant and exposed a mole in the police department, turning Jinling upside down single-handedly;
A bone flute's eerie notes brought death, and a subterranean palace was riddled with traps. He assembled a team to explore it, took down a smuggling den, and gained allies who would stand by him through life and death;
When established families obstructed him and dark forces struck back, he produced ironclad evidence and humiliated them in public, clearing his name after years of disgrace.
A token engraved with the Four Symbols, the secretive “Night Jinling” organization, and an antiquities smuggling network spanning north and south all unraveled under his deductions.
No case is too tough to crack, and no killer can stay hidden!
Watch as master detective Shen Yan treads carefully through Night Jinling, untangling the clues and wielding deduction as his blade to cut down every demon and monster in the world!
