This is not really a Robert Van Gulik "Judge Dee" mystery. Rather, as he states in the Preface, it is a translation of a Chinese novel about the real "Judge Dee." As such, as he explains in the Preface, it contains part of Chinese judicial methods which Van Gulik does not use in his own novels, such as torture.
It was still a very interesting read and also closely resembles Van Gulik's own novels.
