[Completed on December 3, 2025]
Zhenjiang, a rainy night, and a one-month celebration for the martial arts alliance leader's newborn son:
The hall is packed with honored guests, and cups clink as wine flows.
But just as the guests are deep in their cups and beginning to leave, the alliance leader's son suddenly dies of poison...
And now, let's welcome our suspects:
1. Shen Qian, a great hero whose martial arts and character are both nothing special
2. Zhou Xiaogong, a swordswoman who looks utterly unremarkable
3. Nangong Yulou, the Sword Saint, with robes as white as snow and a heart as passionate as flowing water
4. Shangguan Xianxian, the master of Medicine Demon Valley, arriving late but at just the right moment
5. Zhuge Shaozhi, the world's greatest detective. Which bastard invited someone from the authorities?
6. Sun Feike, the alliance leader's first disciple, who has after all followed him for many years
7. Qiu Shuibai, the Wudang sect leader. He's so highly respected, so it can't be him
8. Miao Aqi, the Beggars' Sect leader, who loves nothing but chicken. Get out of here
Then... who else could it be???!!
1. Jiang Minxing, the martial arts alliance leader: My son's body isn't even cold yet, and you're telling me this!
2. Wang Shu, the alliance leader's wife: You... doing this will only make things worse!
Mystery + martial arts
Theme: Whoever may rule the martial world, the wine flags still flutter and rustle in the wind.
I really like Da Da's writing style 🤩
