Synopsis

“He climbed out of his grave and strangled the enemy who had framed him with his bare hands!” Sun Liaohong was a bestselling detective novelist during the Republican era. He entered the literary scene in the 1920s and reached the height of his career in the late 1940s. His “The Strange Cases of the Gentleman Thief Lu Ping” series became one of China's best-known detective series, as celebrated as Cheng Xiaoqing's “The Huo Sang Cases.” This collection brings together several of his classic detective stories, including “The Ghost Hand,” “Sai Jinhua's Watch,” “The Blood Paper Doll,” “Between Truth and Lies,” and “The Crow's Painting.” Every story is filled with horror and suspense, and the vivid descriptions make you feel as if you are right there. At midnight, a cold, rigid ghost hand creeps closer without a sound, sending a chill down your spine; A bloodstained paper doll wanders like a ghost, bearing witness to an injustice that refuses to rest; A mysterious antique watch is connected to one unbelievable murder after another; Through lifelike puppets, terror and suspense are pushed to their limits! Sun Liaohong's words are like an invisible hand, gripping your heart tightly. Are you ready? Prepare yourself for a suspenseful experience full of the unexpected. *This book has been reorganized and compiled and is protected by copyright.

Ancient Mystery and Crime-Solving, No System

I'm looking for books like The Longest Day in Chang'an, the complete two-volume edition. No modern technology: solving cases in ancient times should be genuinely difficult. Stories where the protagonist gets a System for no reason are no fun.

Period Crime and Investigation Novels? Master Authors, Please Write Some! I Need to Read Them!

I want books like Eighties-Era Detective Cases. Are there any crime-solving or police procedural stories set in a specific era? I don't like stories with a golden finger or other cheats. Ideally, the female lead would be a police officer or cop!

Forensic, Detective, Suspense, and Mystery Series

Let's talk about modern forensic, detective, mystery, and deduction stories. They really are full of flaws... Eighty characters aren't enough to rant about them... Maybe I'm setting the bar too high after being blown away by Sherlock Holmes...
