Traces of Crime

In Ward 806 of the Central Hospital, a patient with advanced gastric cancer died of natural causes. However, 27-year-old nurse Xu Jiani discovered a blurry reflection in the deceased's pupil that should not have appeared. A piece of medical tape suddenly appeared on the bedside table, the mark left after the adhesive was removed from the oxygen valve knob, and someone in the system log logged in with her employee ID to check the medication records - all details pointed to Liu Zhigang, director of the pharmacy department. She made a phone call. Gu Shen, a trace examiner from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment, arrived at the scene forty minutes later. Three people had come to this ward tonight: the deceased, the murderer - and one more person. When Xu Jiani thought she was standing in front of the truth, her phone lit up. A text message came from an unknown number: Don't stand at the door. That's her husband, Bai Yang. The man who would hang up her white coat for her every night and check whether she had closed the window before going to bed. The architect who never wore a ring in front of her - a highly intelligent criminal. What she didn't know was that everything tonight, from the first drop of oxygen being stopped, was all within his plan. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
