About This Novel

This story is adapted from a real case. Some of the plots, characters, and place names have been artistically processed. Please do not take it personally. This novel is a series of short stories Coffon Mountain is located in the mountains deep in southern Hunan, surrounded by mountains and only connected to the outside world by a rugged winding mountain road. Traffic is blocked and information is backward. The village is rainy and foggy all year round, the air is humid and the atmosphere is depressing, giving people a gloomy feeling of isolation from the world. There is a cliff called Duanhun Cliff in the east of the village. There are many thousand-year-old hanging coffins placed on the cliff. It is a taboo place in the hearts of the villagers. The old people say that there is a mountain god guarding it, and trespassers will encounter bad luck. The village has been closed for a long time and is highly xenophobic and wary of outsiders. Over the years, ancient tombs in the mountains have been stolen one after another, and a secret tomb robbing gang headed by Zhao Laogui gradually formed. They took advantage of the villagers' superstition and fear, colluded with individual village cadres, threatened, bribed, and frightened the villagers, shrouding the entire village in a silent fear. Many people knew that tomb robbing existed, and had even witnessed illegal acts, but chose to remain silent out of fear of retaliation. Over time, this created a strange situation where the whole village knew about it but no one dared to speak out. Lin Qiang brought his wife Su Wan back to Hanging Coffin Village. He wanted to rest and accompany his mother, but he accidentally discovered the secret of the tomb robbing gang. In order to prevent the incident from being exposed, the gang brutally murdered Lin Qiang and hid the body in the hanging coffin at Soul-Desolating Cliff, pretending to be a mysterious disappearance. The villagers' tacit understanding and collective concealment turned a murder case into a confusing disappearance mystery. It also left Su Wan in an isolated and helpless situation, and gradually uncovered the darkness buried deep in the village.
