Medium Detective: Solving Cases Online [Hong Kong in the 90s]

While investigating a case, Chu Ci unexpectedly finds herself transported into a detective novel set in 1990s Hong Kong. As soon as she arrives, she is bound to a “Medium System.”

The original host was a swindler who had offended a local gang leader, resulting in her grandmother being beaten and hospitalized. Their landlord and neighbors are pressuring her to move away with her elderly grandmother, leaving her in a dire situation.

With no education or skills to speak of and facing an uncertain future, Chu Ci grits her teeth and decides to use the Medium System to become a spiritual medium.

“Madam He, your son-in-law is a murderer. This marriage must not happen!”

Madam He doesn’t believe her, calling her a fraud, but that very night, her son-in-law goes on a killing spree, nearly wiping out the entire family.

“Miss Huo, this year is not favorable for marriage. You’re likely to encounter a scumbag.”

Miss Huo believes she has found true love and refuses to believe her fiancé is a scumbag. Unexpectedly, three of his ex-girlfriends storm the wedding, each bringing along his illegitimate children, and a fight breaks out in front of all the guests.

“Newspaper Liang, don’t gamble in the next two days. Be careful, or you might face a bloody disaster!”

Newspaper Liang swears he will trust the master and gives up gambling for good! Yet, he can’t resist temptation and is dragged into a few rounds of chess, losing forty years of his lifespan.

Fortunately, the Medium System upgrades, granting Chu Ci not only the ability to communicate with spirits but also the opportunity to work as an underworld envoy, helping him recover his lost years.

From then on, she can travel freely between the mortal world and the underworld.

Later, bizarre cases begin to occur frequently:

Sixteen female classmates in a class suddenly age into eighty-year-old women overnight, teetering on the brink of death;

A famous actress falls victim to a curse, her face covered in pustules, destroying her career;

A wealthy man’s son is buried in a coffin, and anyone who touches it dies, making rescue efforts impossible.

The police are at a loss.

The police commissioner, who once called her a fraud, visits her three times, pleading for her to join the force.

“Officer Chu, the police department needs a talent like you!”
