His loyal and trusted assistant revealed quite a number of questionable points during the investigation process and new fatalities occurred soon after the appointment. Is this series of entirely irrelevant cases a pure coincidence or a continuation from the previous case? Check out how Judge Dee resorts to his extraordinary power of observation and logic to solve the riddle.
