Fate
About This Novel
Keigo Higashino's creative career-changing masterpiece, Naoto Fujiki and Takashi Kashiwahara star in the Japanese drama of the same name. President Naoaki Kuazo died of illness, and soon after, his successor was killed in the family cemetery with an arrow stuck in his back and some white chrysanthemums scattered around his body. The police found that the tip of the arrow contained highly toxic substances and matched a crossbow collected by Naoaki during his lifetime, but the crossbow is now missing. On the second day after the incident, the police found the same chrysanthemum petals as those at the murder scene in Naomi's home. Based on time clues and other evidence, the murderer could only be Naomi's second son, Hongchang. Just when the case was about to become clear, the police received a piece of irrefutable evidence that proved Hongchang was not the murderer.

I have read so many of Dong Ye's books, and they cover a wide range of aspects, including human nature, thinking about social law and public opinion, and science. This book is more about giving us some thoughts. Can we really use people to do experiments for scientific research? But in the end, they themselves realized that this was wrong, and they were trying to atone for their sins. They just felt a little sorry for Akira. He didn't do anything, and he was still a victim. He just took the responsibility! Akihiko & Yusaku, they are indeed brothers. They both like the same girl. What a fate! But in this matter, Akihiko is luckier.
This is the fifth book I have read by Keigo Higashino since White Night Walk. He is the most logical writer I have encountered so far. I like his books very much.
The ending is really unexpected and exciting
Super pretty
This book is really great. I screamed in surprise when I saw they were brothers. The reasoning is perfect. The plot is fascinating
Tell me who is Yongzuo's father? Also a victim?
Akahiko said that Sanae's child was adopted. "One of the other subjects had an infertile wife and adopted Sanae's child." What does that mean? Aren't the adoptees Naoaki Kua and Yusaku's father Koji? Neither of them is a subject?
I always like Keigo Higashino's books, and this is probably the eighth one I've read. Dare to break the original reasoning, even seemingly flawless crimes still have layers of doubts. Fate - as if the rope of destiny controls life. Behind the seeming ruthlessness is a deep sense of guilt.
Everything is fate
You think you are not sure, but in fact it is fate that is pushing you forward.
Good looking! Great.
perfect ending
The ending is perfect, brothers recognize each other
not bad
It's worth watching, but the male protagonist is not as smart as before, which is a bit regretful
