On Jiangdong Road in the Republic of China, strange cases occurred frequently. On the night of worshiping his ancestors, the boss of Huitong Bank, Chen Yutang, mysteriously transformed into a mummy in the secret ancestral hall. It looked like a ghost sucking marrow, causing a sensation in the whole city.
Chen Ruian, the son of a businessman who returned from overseas, never believed in ghosts and gods. In order to investigate his father's hatred, he assembled three "strange people": Guan Xintang, the young master of the escort agency, a loyal man with all kinds of martial arts and special skills in breaking through the secret passages of various agencies; Irene Xiao, a mixed Chinese and Western blood, a chemical genius, a pair of keen eyes that can identify toxins in all things, and he is unrivaled in his uniform and horseback riding uniform; Wen Yuan, who knows both black and white, is a man with a thousand faces, and controls the unknown news channels in the city.
A secret investigation agency composed of four people specializes in "mysterious cases" that seem to be caused by evil spirits and cannot be explained by common sense. They use the light of science to shine through the fog of ignorance; they use the tricks of Jianghu to tear off the mask of disguise.
However, as the investigation deepened, they discovered that behind Chen Yutang's death, there was not only a simple vendetta involved, but also a deeply buried poisonous line, connecting Bo Yun's treacherous current situation, deadly potions from foreign lands and long-dusted family secrets...
The surface is ghosts, but the core is science. It seems like a strange case, but it is actually a matter of human nature.
In this troubled world where the old and the new collide, can four strange people use their own methods to find the truth for this sinking world?
