Mad Detective Yang Jinbang(2016)

Mad Detective Yang Jinbang is a Chinese series following a young man whose ambitions shift dramatically after tragedy. Yang Jinbang studied law abroad with dreams of becoming a judge, but returns home when his father dies under suspicious circumstances. Driven to uncover the truth, he abandons his studies and becomes an investigator, using scientific evidence and logic to solve complex cases. Over three years, his detective work gains renown, but his greatest challenge arrives when he finally identifies his father's killer—only to watch the British consulate spirit the murderer away under colonial extraterritoriality laws. This injustice transforms Yang Jinbang's mission. He commits himself to pursuing genuine legal justice for his community, determined to fight a system that protects the powerful while ordinary people suffer.
