Twenty-eight-year-old Gu Wan, a provincial criminal investigation expert, was pushed off the rooftop during a hunt for an armed gangster.
When she opened her eyes again, she became the female head catcher of Qingping County in the Great Yan Dynasty - a small person in a small county on the 18th tier who had just solved a chicken theft case by luck.
Dayan Dynasty. It's just a myth, I've never heard of it. Investigations rely on oral confessions. If the confessions are not enough, they will be sentenced to death. If the punishment is not enough, they will be brought out by the City God to perform "divine sentencing". Gu Wan's brain ached violently as he looked at the dozens of unsolved cases that had been gathering dust for more than ten years in the county government's file room.
What makes her even more troublesome is the newly appointed county magistrate - Shen Shiyan, twenty-five years old, a Jinshi scholar, very good-looking, but with a very cold face. Master Shen said on the first day: "It's not appropriate for a woman to be a head catcher."
Gu Wan was too lazy to talk to him. She just wanted to quickly find a way to travel back in time and solve the case easily.
Until an unknown male corpse appeared in a dry well in the west of the city.
There were no wounds, no poison, and no signs of struggle on the deceased's body - it was as if he had walked in and lay down to die. The county government officials said it was an unjust soul seeking life. Shen Shiyan's brows knitted into knots. Gu Wan squatted next to the body and looked at it for ten minutes before saying:
"Master Shen, this is not a ghost killing. This is a perfect crime scene."
From that day on, Shen Shiyan began to look at this female catcher whom he didn't want to see with a new eye.
And Gu Wan discovered that although this cold-faced county magistrate was unfamiliar with handling cases, he had the purest sense of justice she had ever seen.
While investigating the case, fall in love. Of course, both of them refused to admit it.
