Long Night to Clear Wrongs

Modern criminal investigation captain Zhou Xun opened his eyes and became a young detective on the death row of Dayong Lingchuan County. He turned out to be a bandit and killed a colleague. He was beheaded three days later. In order to survive, he took on the case of a female corpse in an ancestral hall that everyone avoided: the daughter of a wealthy businessman knelt to death in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet, and the whole city said that the ancestor was asking for his life. But Zhou Xun could tell from the dust on the soles, the time the incense was burned, the direction of the strangle marks and half a bronze medal, that this was not a punishment by ghosts and gods, but someone was rewriting the deceased. There is no surveillance, no laboratory, just dust, body marks, confessions and volumes of lies. He, Xu Zhaoheng, the female doctor of Huichun Hall, Zhao Songling, the old widower, and others investigated step by step and found that the female corpse in the ancestral hall, the resurrected soul in the Yizhuang, the corpse floating in the rainy night, and the rat fire in the case file all pointed to the old food relief case that was designated as the "Black Clothes Robbery" ten years ago. The dead cannot lie, the living will write lies for the dead. What Zhou Xun wants to do is to rewrite the truth one by one for those who have been written off as bandits, rioters, and scapegoats.
