The New Ghost-Eye Detective

Adapted from the film Ghost-Eye Detective

Genre: Mystery, supernatural mystery

Synopsis:

Elite detective Chen Mo awakens his “yin eyes” after suffering a severe injury in an accident. They let him see traces of death energy and twisted obsessions invisible to ordinary people. This curse-like ability takes a terrible toll on his mind. Deemed an “unstable factor,” he is transferred off the front lines and left to languish in the archives department.

The eerie murder of a victim whose death imitates a mysterious “Blood Sacrifice Case” from years ago shatters the surface calm. The victim’s death is bizarre, and the scene is permeated by an unnatural chill and an air of despair. The arrival of his new partner, Lin Xiaowei, forces Chen Mo to return to his old work. Using his “yin eyes,” he detects the killer’s trail of twisted energy and the cold marks clinging to objects. The clues point straight to an underworld where ominous “haunted artifacts” change hands.

The shadow of the long-buried “Blood Sacrifice Case” resurfaces. Strange incidents plague the police station, and a crisis of trust lurks around every corner. Chen Mo discovers that all the cases are connected to a terrifying entity called “Shadow Eater.” It is a mass of negative energy born from countless cruel sins. It can corrupt the human heart and turn despair and madness into weapons. The “human traitors” it has chosen are plotting an even bloodier ritual.

On the verge of a mental breakdown, Chen Mo must learn to control the painful “eyes” he has been given. With the steadying support of his partner Lin Xiaowei, he must follow the clues and confront the invisible enemy within and beyond the police station. Amid visions twisted by vengeful obsessions and the dark side of human nature, they must track down the core of the “Shadow Eater” and stop a supernatural calamity from spreading across the entire city. The truth is often colder to the bone than any ghostly shadow.
