In the autumn of the forty-second year of the Jiajing era, Shen Jue, a constable of the Six Fan Gate, received a report: Chen Heming, a renowned martial artist, had died in his practice room. His body was in a bizarre position: his hands formed a strange seal, his toes turned inward, and his shoe soles bore three different kinds of soil. Shen Jue was certain this was no ordinary case of qi deviation.
Then came a second body, and a third. See how Shen Jue cracks the case.
