There is a rumor in the world that there is a scholar who sells paper. Wherever he goes, people die.
Lu Chen, the deputy commander of the Six Gates, received a secret report: within half a month, seven people died in three cities, and the death methods were extremely strange - some people had their bones and tendons removed but still remained standing, some were eaten alive by the evil gods they worshiped, and some were cut into pieces in the secret room with a thousand knives but could not find a murder weapon.
What they have in common: the deceased were all insiders of the "Caishengtang" tragedy twenty years ago.
The only suspect: a young man in white who was hundreds of miles away at the time of the crime and had a smile as gentle as the spring breeze.
Shen Du walked into the next city carrying his paper box.
There are still many people he wants to kill, and time is very tight.
And the people from Six Doors have already caught up with him.
"There is something wrong with me - I have to settle the debts owed by others for them."
It feels messy, and you switch perspectives too frequently, from the case to the protagonist.
