Young Ye Zhou learned the true skills of trace detection and reasoning from a famous arrester in Jinhua Mansion, and came to work in the prosperous Ningbo Mansion with the ideal of eradicating violence and bringing peace to the people. However, he soon discovered that the yamen of this port city was completely different from what he had imagined. Here, human relations are far more important than the logic of evidence, and empirical conventions replace professional inspections. Because he refused to join the others, this upright young man was completely marginalized and became the famous "Dianmao King" in the yamen - he arrived on time every day but could only deal with trivial matters.
Under the polish of reality, Ye Zhou gradually put away his sharp edge and turned his energy to studying the strange things circulating in the market. From "Siming County Chronicles" to the legend of "mermaids weeping beads", from "seawall crying at night" to the strange stories of "painted-skinned ghosts", he systematically compiled another set of codes for this city. His colleagues laughed at him for not doing his job properly, but they didn't know that behind these bizarre stories lay the key to understanding the city's evil patterns.
When a strange "painted-skinned ghost" murder case stumped the whole government, Ye Zhou's opportunity came. When everyone was helpless, he relied on the clues found in the strange news and combined with professional investigation techniques to reveal the truth behind the legend. From then on, he embarked on a unique path of investigating: on the surface he was still the frustrated little detective, but secretly he used his own special way to solve bizarre and unsolved cases.
Purpose: I hope everyone can find a way of survival that suits them
