Dali Temple Detective Record

During the Chui Gong period, Wu Zetian was on the eve of proclaiming himself emperor. In Luoyang's Dali Temple, a pagoda bones case involved three skeletons with different identities - a medicine dealer who disappeared ten years ago, a young monk who "returned to secular life" five years ago, and the head of the Ministry of Punishment who disappeared mysteriously three months ago. The causes of death of the three people were different, but they pointed to the same temple and the same murderer. Shen Du, a judge from a poor family in Jiangnan, took over the case. He has a photographic memory, a strong ability to observe and reason, and he also carries a secret - as long as he can remember, he must always choose to lose one of his five senses. He thought it was a curse. Huiming, a monk studying abroad from Shugendo in Japan, found him in Luoyang City with his weak spiritual sense. Huiming's sister Chiyo was born with the ability to see ghosts, and was entangled by the dead on the verge of collapse. He came to the Tang Dynasty to find a way to seal the magic - and Shen Du had spiritual pressure stronger than any magic user he had ever seen. The two went from testing each other to becoming a tacit partner. Huiming used the toxicology of herbal medicine to transform the vague clues obtained by Shen Du's strange techniques into evidence that could be presented in court. Shen Du used logical reasoning to find a legal source for these evidences in the court. But what they don't know is that Shen Du is no ordinary magician - he is the "anchor" that maintains the cause and effect of the two worlds, and the person who really wants to pull out this anchor has still not surfaced under the undercurrent. A dark game that spans five volumes begins with a bone case.
