Chasing the Murderer in the Flames of War: Justice in the Smoke of Gunfire
About This Novel
When the streets of Shanghai's French Concession were shrouded in the clouds of war, bizarre murders sprouted like cancer, breaking the surface calm. Wearing a navy blue detective uniform, Shen Hufeng, with a calm and decisive look on his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, devoted himself to this foggy investigation. He is like a hound with a keen sense of smell, not letting go of any clues. However, he was under a double attack from the Japanese and puppet forces and the concession management, and every step he took was like walking on a tightrope. In the dilemma of pursuing the truth, Shen Hufeng is not alone. Ah Fu, who was born as a street gangster but loves watercolor painting, relies on his familiarity with the streets and alleys of Shanghai and the three religions and nine streams, like an accurate navigation satellite, to provide him with key clues; the bar owner Aunt Mei, who smiles on the surface and welcomes customers from all over the world, is actually the liaison of the underground anti-Japanese organization. Her bar is like a whirlpool center of intelligence, allowing Shen Hufeng to gain a lot of help here. But the enemy is by no means a good kind. The cunning and insidious Yuichi Kawashima believed that the invasion of China was for the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" and attempted to use murder to disrupt the order of the French Concession. Like Shen Hufeng, he has strong logical reasoning ability. Like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, he constantly sets traps for Shen Hufeng. Just as Shen Hufeng was getting closer to the truth, a huge turning point occurred, and he discovered that the conspiracy behind it was far more complicated than imagined. And all this comes at a price. People around you may die at any time because of this struggle, and every advancement is accompanied by blood and pain. The cruelty of war and the helplessness of reality are like an invisible net, covering everyone.
