Deer Ming Cracks 81 Life-or-Death Cases

In the chaotic Republic era, the haunted house at No. 13 Bangchui Hutong in Beiping is a forbidden zone everyone avoids. Rumors say the old house weeps every night, with frequent unsolved murders and an eerie atmosphere. Lu Ming, returning from Scotland Yard, establishes the Lu Ming Detective Agency with three partners: insightful journalist Qianli Xunzhen, passionate young officer Xuan Yian, and sketch artist Liu Sanxi. Together, they investigate a bizarre murder in the haunted house, uncovering a century-spanning conspiracy. Isolated cases connect into dozens of interlocking mysteries, all tied to the house's past and the Meng family's century-old secrets—a Yuan dynasty underground palace, ancestral jade records, foreign treasure hunters, and hidden deadly traps.
