Set in the vibrant yet tumultuous Shanghai of the 1920s and 1930s, the narrative follows Huo Sang and Bao Lang, a Chinese detective duo reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Huo Sang, a violinist and astute investigator, navigates a world rife with crime and social challenges. Cheng Xiaoqing, a pioneer in Chinese detective fiction, weaves tales that blend logical reasoning with elements of traditional storytelling. Through various cases, including encounters with a master thief and explorations of human folly, the stories reflect a unique fusion of local culture and global themes of justice.
