Strange things have happened frequently in Dayin Capital recently.
In several murder cases, the deceased had received an unsigned white note before his death; but at the scene after his death, old traces of the "Yunxiu Villa Murder Case" from 20 years ago were left.
The old case had been closed, but it seemed to have been reopened through the dead.
Gu Chi, the lantern keeper of the Zhaoye Division, was originally just a small person who lit lamps for the souls of the dead and spoke to the dead. However, because of a strange bone lamp, he was involved in this mystery that spanned twenty years. Traveling with him was Xie Mingyi, the young master of Qingmingtai—a person who was most disciplined, believed in evidence, and least believed in ghosts and gods.
One seems lazy and has a sharp smile; the other is cold and taciturn and refuses to give in at every step.
From testing each other to being forced to go together, the two gradually get closer to the truth of the past amid serial murders, ashes of old books and traces of old friends.
It was only at the end of the investigation that they discovered——
The reason why some old cases refuse to die is because the people who really survived never really got out.
The lamp shines on the bones, but also on the human heart.
And what they want to uncover may not be just the case itself.
Purpose: To see people's hearts in the ashes of old cases, learn to let go of the past between obsession and truth, and choose to become your true self.
