Detective Dee: The Deadly Eye

During the Chui Gong period, a bizarre serial murder case caused panic in the city of Luoyang. Most of the victims were a man and a woman. The murderer's whereabouts were elusive and left no clues. Folk rumors said that this was God's punishment for the queen's inauspicious behavior. Eunuch Cui was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation, but there was no result. The minister advised Di Renjie to give it a try. Although Di Renjie had different political views from the Queen, they were concerned about the suffering of the people. He finally accepted the arrangement of the Queen and solved the case within a time limit, otherwise he would bear the responsibility for this crisis as a "murderer". At first, Di Renjie was asked not to leave the cell while solving the case. Di Renjie understood the Queen's intention and agreed. At the same time, he asked the Queen for help from two cell heads who took good care of him. Di Renjie was moved out of the original cell and imprisoned in a tower that could see the whole city of Luoyang from all sides. In the new prison, he saw the "eyes" he had been waiting for for a long time - his confidant Eunuch Cui. Di Renjie quickly restored the murder scene through Eunuch Cui's description, believing that it was a highly premeditated and cursed serial murder case with special meaning. The deceased died in the same way and the murderer used the corpse to complete some kind of ritual that affected the fate of others. Just when Di Renjie and Cui Eunuch failed to investigate the case, another incident happened in Luoyang City...
