In 1945, in the ice city of Harbin, one street was a Shura field.
Central Street, European-style buildings solidified in the bloody dusk. Puppet Manchukuo police officer Chen Mo is a hound that the Japanese rely on, a traitor that the military wants to eliminate, and the CCP's ace agent code-named "Jackdaw". Every lie he tells is stained with the blood of his comrades, and the Kwantung Army's butcher knife with the "Jade Broken Plan" is hanging over the entire city - who will come first, the countdown to destruction or the dawn?
Su Liya, the pianist at the "Katyusha" restaurant, conveyed fatal information to the Soviet Union in a Russian-style glance. She and Chen Mo approached in a trial, the muzzle of the gun and the kiss were equally hot. When the church bell is about to ring the ninth bell of destruction, she must make a choice: Harbin on the to-do list, or him in the heartbeat.
The tailor's stitches hide secrets, the steam in the bathhouse conveys murderous intent, and the nanmu in the coffin shop carries guns. The Russian bakery's Leba stove, the Japanese officer's kimono, the military commander's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - they are all chess games. Dual identity is a life-saving talisman and a death curse. Trust is thinner than the ice of Songhua River.
The suspicion of Xiao Linjue, the head of the special high school, followed closely, and the bullet of Shen Jun, the military commander's killer, was pointed directly between his eyebrows. Chen Mo was walking on the razor's edge, with Master Zhao's blood, Lao Geng's swan song, and Lord Jin's coffin behind him. And the biggest bet is the temperature of Lidya Su's fingertips - is that the rope of salvation or the chain that strangles him?
When the "Sakura Troops" activate the bacterial massacre device, the survival of the Ice City depends on the last second of lies. Every loaf stone on Central Street is steeped in loyalty and betrayal.

Well written, I have the desire to read more
The plot of the story is relatively rigorous and readable, but I feel that the details are too detailed and the adjectives are used a bit too much.
