Xue Zhongzhao

In the twelfth year of Zhaoming, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was heavy snow in Yujing. Shen Zhao, a sickly master who coughed up blood and joined the Jingzhao Mansion, twisted a silver needle in his left hand and held the "Record of Innocence" in his right hand. He used advanced criminal investigation techniques such as "fingerprint development" and "footstep estimation" to solve murder cases in secret rooms and uncover mysterious plots in ice coffins. No one knows that this mutilated body with cold poison in the heart hides the resentful souls of the Shen family in Baidi City. Twelve years ago, during the "City Massacre on a Snowy Night", he was rescued by his nanny as his own son. He was not dead from the cold poison, but he had the "monster" ability to remember the scene and deduce the scene. When the Minister of Rites wrote the word "snow" in blood in his secret room, and when Pei Jin, the first minister of the court, twirled his beads and looked on with a smile, Shen Zhao knew that the death knell of Seven Crows had finally sounded. He used his body as a bait to move step by step in the whirlpool of intrigues: half a jade pendant in an abandoned well, three children's bones in a mass grave, the Frost Mechanism under Qin Tian Prison... Every truth was stained with the blood of twelve years ago. "I want this world to ask for evidence but not one's origins, and to look at the truth instead of power." What is revealed in the snow is the sin of the seven crows, a taboo that the royal family dare not touch, and a monstrous karma ignited by a sick and weak man who sacrificed his life for wages. When the last ice pick falls, who is the real knife bearer on that snowy night? ——Snow washes away grievances and tells the world.
