This story is adapted from the Tang Dynasty Strange Cases series, with Old Jia, one of the three great detectives of Chang'an County, as its central character.
The story takes place in 713 AD. After learning investigative techniques from Su Wuming, Jia Yonggui stays in Chang'an County with the other two great detectives. Together, they seek justice for the common people, clear the names of the wrongfully accused, and give the aggrieved a voice. Their skills at solving cases and catching criminals may be limited, but they can still protect the people of Chang'an and keep them safe.
This novel is entirely fictional. Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental.
First of all, what impressed me the most was the character creation. There are no stereotyped good guys or bad guys. Every character is flesh and blood, with weaknesses and obsessions, tenderness and unbearableness. Regardless of the protagonist or the supporting role, every time he speaks or does something, he feels like he is standing in front of his eyes. The emotions are so real that it makes people heart-wrenched, laugh and shed tears. It is really amazing to be able to write people in such a three-dimensional and vivid way. Then there is the plot and rhythm. The whole process is not delayed or watered down. The foreshadowing is natural and the reversal is just right. It is both unexpected and reasonable. There is no forced wisdom, no awkwardness, every step forward is logical, and the more you watch, the more you read, and you can't help but follow chapter after chapter, and you can't put it down at all. The writing style is a plus, delicate and powerful, and the atmosphere is full. Whether it is a warm daily life or a climactic conflict, the descriptions are particularly picturesque and the emotions are conveyed particularly well. After reading many sentences, I want to think about them over and over again, and I can't help but take screenshots to save them. The author's control of details and insight into people's hearts really surpass many works. What's even more rare is the warmth and thinking hidden in the story. It's not just a simple plot, but it talks about love and hate, growth, regret and reconciliation. It makes people feel heavy after reading it, but also feels very healing. I am so talented to be able to write such a novel that is deep, emotional, and interesting enough. This is definitely the best, most thoughtful, and most worthy of careful review I have seen recently. I am completely immersed in it. Thank you to the author for bringing such a good story. I have given it to everyone around me. I am waiting for the follow-up updates and look forward to more exciting stories from the author.
Wonderful, recommended
