Have you ever seen criminal investigation techniques used to track down ancient ferocious beasts?
Unsolvable cases are everywhere in Huazhou, and the police are completely stumped:
A wealthy merchant dies silently in a locked room, with no wounds or poison and not the slightest clue to the cause of death;
A strong man mysteriously drowns in water barely deep enough to cover his ankles, without leaving a trace of struggle;
An entire field of wheat withers overnight. The soil is moist, yet even the insects beneath it are dead...
Everyone says ghosts and gods are to blame. Only Lu Zhao refuses to believe it.
A private detective who dropped out of police academy, he learned his investigative skills from his grandfather, a veteran detective. His keen eyes catch every detail. He trusts only evidence, follows only logic, and specializes in solving the cold cases no one else can crack.
Then a bronze-covered book, Records of the Mountains and Seas: Suppressing Evil, appeared out of nowhere and crashed onto his locked office desk.
Only then did he realize the truth: the culprits behind these cases really weren't human!
Ten thousand years ago, a hundred evil spirits from the Classic of Mountains and Seas broke free of their seals and scattered across the human world. Feeding on people's fear and life force, they wreaked havoc and created one unsolvable murder case after another.
And he was the last descendant of Fuxi's bloodline, the sole Host of the Records of the Mountains and Seas: Suppressing Evil, and the only person in the world capable of sealing these evils away again.
From then on, Lu Zhao's detective work changed completely.
He still examines crime scenes, searches for clues, pieces together the logic, and identifies the real culprit.
The only difference is that his quarry now includes ancient evil gods who command the wind and rain, and ferocious beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas that can twist space!
The laws of mortals can't touch you?
No problem.
I'll nail your crimes down with evidence and use my bloodline to seal you inside this book, where you'll never escape!
