About This Novel
Three corpses triggered a twenty-year journey to find the murderer. Two murder cases trace the changes of sixty years. A single move of chess sets up an unsolved puzzle that spans centuries. In the 1990s, a raging fire broke out in the forest under the Guixiao Stone in Xishan. After the fire was extinguished, two corpses in horrifying shapes were discovered. Was it homicide? Was it suicide? Or was it an accident that occurred during the conflict? When the criminal police investigating the case were at a loss what to do, a knife engraved with the word "Hu" was retrieved from the scene, which caught their attention. In order to clear the suspicion, Hu Yanyun embarked on a journey to chase the murderer. Unexpectedly, ten years later, a murder happened again in a forest cabin with the doors and windows locked. Faced with the bizarre and inexplicable case, Lin Xiangming told Hu Yanyun: "If you want to find the truth, I'm afraid you have to dig deep in history." Another ten years passed. Some of the witnesses of the case were poor, some were in the business, some were old, and some were seriously ill... After experiencing all kinds of tastes in the world and tasting the joys and sorrows of the world, they returned to the Guixiao Stone again by chance. Just when everything had settled, Hu Yanyun inadvertently got a glimpse of the truth. After being shocked, he remembered Lin Xiangming's words and took the train north, "traveling" through the long years to the starting point of everything - the turbulent 1960s...
