Serious Case Files: Family Extermination

About This Novel

[Criminal investigation suspense + social reality + real case adaptation] On March 31, 1997, late at night in the Daicuiyuan Industrial and Commercial Bank residential complex in a city in Central and South China, a murder case broke the peace. The life trajectory of Liu Yuanlan, a family member of a retired bank cadre, was completely rewritten. This rural mother-in-law carefully keeps a diary and records everything. There are hidden mysteries in the social circle of her son and daughter-in-law. Among the interactions between three religions and nine circles, Zeng Laisu, who has a prison experience and a dragon mark, is particularly suspicious - his gambler-like paranoid personality makes his obsession with winning and losing turn into a fatal hazard. The clues to the case are hidden in Liu Yuanlan's notebook and in the subtle relationships between neighbors. The birthday party of Grandma Liu, the gatekeeper of the unit, the secret defense of the families of cadres who came to the city, and the complicated past between Zeng Laisu and the deceased are intertwined into a network of relationships full of mist. Based on twenty years of police experience, the author uses documentary writing to restore the case investigation process. In the interlocking suspense progression, he not only shows the meticulousness of criminal investigators, but also digs into the darkness of human nature driven by desire, allowing readers to pursue the truth while getting a glimpse of the various social conditions and the game of people's hearts in the context of the integration of urban and rural areas at the end of the last century. This story was adapted from a real case by a professional writer from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles of the Ministry of Public Security. The locations and characters involved in the case have been pseudonymized.
