About This Novel

In the middle of the night during a heavy rainstorm, architectural designer Chen Jingming died in his studio with the doors and windows locked from the inside, with a bronze dagger stuck in his chest. There were no signs of a fight at the scene, and there was no way for the murderer to escape. The reporter was his assistant Lin Wei, but only her and the deceased's fingerprints were left on the murder weapon. As the investigation deepens, more doubts emerge: the missing surveillance hard drive, high personal accident insurance, the controversial "Binjiang International" project, the dissatisfied ex-wife after the divorce... Each clue points to a different suspect, but they are invisibly intertwined with each other. The criminal investigation captain Lu Chen peeled off the cocoon, from the half-sheet of design drawings held in the hands of the deceased, to the architectural model with missing corners, to the strangulation marks that were deliberately covered up on the wrists, step by step closer to the truth. When all the evidence seemed to point to the same answer, he discovered that there was an even more chilling reversal hidden behind this perfect secret room murder. This is not only an intellectual game about secret room conspiracies, but also a cruel torture of human nature and interests. Who directed this silent murder in the locked studio, and for what purpose?
