In 1999, in a small town in Northeast China, the beautiful teacher Bai Luoju was brutally murdered, her body hung from a raised platform.
A heavy snowfall erased every trace of the crime, but salacious rumors about the victim spread like wildfire.
Faced with the gossip, the victim's husband unexpectedly chose to remain silent.
Twenty years later, her son, Zhang Yunchen, returns to the town as a forensic pathologist, determined to uncover the truth behind the old case.
As he follows the clues, everyone connected to the case dies one by one in bizarre circumstances.
Beneath desire and darkness, where will the truth buried for so many years lead...?
It's great, both in terms of logic and structure, they are interlocking, and seemingly unrelated people and cases are cleverly connected. Sometimes human life is as trivial as a piece of grass, and those in power or the rich don't care and deal with it casually. Delayed justice means nothing. The best punishment for criminals is to live in fear and fear, as if they are facing an abyss. Killing them is simply too easy. Returning to Teacher Bai, truth, goodness and beauty exist in the world, but it is just too difficult to persist. Just like a beam of light in the dark night, it attracts kind people and evil ghosts. Kind people approach her hoping to draw more warmth, while evil ghosts approach her hoping to drag her down from the altar.
The dark side of human nature is finally defeated by justice, which is still too ideal. Most people may be more sympathetic to the male protagonist's father.
I just watched the beginning and didn't see many highlights yet!
A tragedy caused by campus bullying. The lies of a group of people have kept this tragedy in the dust for twenty years. I have always hoped to catch the murderer as soon as possible, but when I saw the murderer being arrested, I felt sad.
Very nice. Luo Baiju is really miserable 😢
Life is not easy for ordinary people!
Everyone has their own loves and hates, but don't do bad things and stick to your bottom line as a human being, otherwise retribution will definitely come.
It's a very interesting criminal investigation novel with clear logic and eloquent explanation! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Are there really so many cases that cannot be solved?
The writing is concise, the plot is compact, and it is unconventional, better than 99% of similar books.
