9.99 €
The cult series about the Chinese Sherlock Holmes—the eccentric mathematician Chen Jue. One of the best Chinese intellectual detectives.
This bizarre residential pyramid is dedicated to the five elements. The four floors symbolize earth, fire, water, and wood—and are constructed using these materials. The fifth floor is the pyramid's apex. It consists of just one room, made entirely of copper imitating gold—the final element.
Even during its construction, the Tower of the Five Elements was surrounded by rumors. It was said to be cursed and drive those who lived there mad. The first owner paid no attention to this; on the contrary, he believed that living in the "Golden Room" would bring him incredible luck. Until one day, he opened the window and jumped into the darkness. The second owner later followed suit…
Lin Zhen, the son of the latter, is certain that his father did not commit suicide. He's not even fazed by the fact that the "Golden Room" was locked from the inside during the incident. To unravel the mystery of his parent's death, Zhen decides to spend the night there and... dies, too. Soon, the tower collapses during an earthquake, burying any hope of solving the three strange deaths beneath its rubble. However, this doesn't seem to be a hindrance to the brilliant mathematician and detective Chen Jue, to whom Zhen's sister turns for help...
