Punishment in Two Realms: I Am a Detective in Dayong

When he was nineteen years old, Zhang Qingshan came to Jincheng to work with 200 yuan in travel expenses to pay for his tuition. While working the night shift at a convenience store, he came across a serial drug theft case. He squatted all night, but the young man he caught said: I am not the only one who stole medicine. Chasing the murderer to the third alley, he cut open his chest with a knife, and half of the dragon pendant hidden under his body was hit by the back of the knife. When he opened his eyes again, he was wearing convenience store work clothes and flip-flops, and he hit the gate of the ancient county government office a thousand years ago. The female head catcher held a knife to his neck, and he escaped after solving the major granary case based on inferences from traces at the scene. From that day on, he held the jade pendant and shuttled between the two worlds, solving cases and chasing down the murderers. The dragon pendant is the key and the phoenix pendant is the lock. The complete lock was broken into seven pieces thousands of years ago and scattered across the two worlds. Each fragment is tied to a living person, and each fragment sucks the essence and blood of the holder to stay alive. And that crazy sentence that the old man scavenging said when he gave him the jade pendant was his true destiny. Thirty miles to the west, traveling between two realms, trying to survive in the case. Open this book and you will see: how a young man from the mountains who has not even entered college uses modern criminal investigation thinking to solve crimes in ancient times through dimensionality reduction; the seven independent stories behind the seven broken phoenixes, each holder of which has his own secret that he does not want others to know; and how a low-level wage earner eventually became a boundary-keeper across two worlds.
