Description:

Hot Blooded Detective dives into China's tumultuous transition from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic, a period rife with supposed sorcerers and supernatural occurrences. Young policeman Kong Xue Li and astute coroner Fang Dong emerge as formidable mythbusting hoax detectives. Using their sharp wits and knowledge of contemporary science, they excel at exposing con artists, demonstrating that many alleged spiritual phenomena are nothing more than elaborate smoke-and-mirror tricks.

However, their rational approach is challenged when a true, dark force threatens to unleash genuine terror and death upon a city. What initially appears to be another scam quickly escalates into something far more sinister. As the stakes rise, the duo's crimefighting efforts intensify. Their mission gains an intriguing ally in a sassy, beautiful, and no-nonsense restaurant owner. This unlikely trio must now combine their unique skills to confront the escalating violence and ghoulish terror that has cast a dark shadow over the city.
