The Legendary Story of Detective Di Renjie in the Tang Dynasty

In the early days of Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne, the Tang Dynasty seemed to be in peace and prosperity, with all nations coming to court, but in fact, there were many factions in the court, and assassinations occurred everywhere in the world. Under the appearance of this bizarre and prosperous age, a series of strange and unpredictable cases occurred one after another: palace paintings predicting death in the secret room, the peony courtesan who was poisoned in public, a ghost official ship traveling upstream on the Grand Canal, a caravan disappearing out of thin air deep in the desert... This book contains ten original suspense stories, from the night rain in Chang'an to the border Liangzhou, from the fireworks in Yangzhou to the deep palace forbidden garden. Each case is not only a simple murder and robbery, but also a microcosm of human greed, political conspiracy and the tragedy of the times. The painter's blood book, the iron Buddha's tears, the cry of the broken ape, the shadowless lights - behind these seemingly absurd phenomena, there are hidden mechanical tricks and unfathomable human calculations.
