Fluorescent lights are the seat of judgment and the checkout counter is the scene of life and death. Su Xiaohe, a 32-year-old night shift worker at a convenience store, has long been accustomed to feeling lonely in the slumbering hours of the city. Until a rainstorm night, a pale girl who was soaked rushed into the store and tremblingly bought expired rice balls. The next day, the news of the disappearance of the wealthy daughter Xu Wei detonated the whole city. The last surveillance picture was Su Xiaohe's cashier. The police pointed to the silent video and asked, "What did she say?" The call for help was not heard, but was engraved in blood on the metal table: "Help me." Overnight, the transparent man became the number one suspect. A corpse suddenly appeared in the cold storage holding her cufflinks; her DNA was embedded in the nails of the deceased; surveillance footage disappeared mysteriously; a resigned colleague died in the warehouse; even the rich offered a reward of tens of millions for her life... Every product in the convenience store is like perjury, and murder is hidden in every corner. Fluorescent lights hiss and freezers buzz. When the night shift diary turns into a survival record, Su Xiaohe must use the insight tempered by three thousand late nights to pierce the bloody fog in the maze of shelves piled with lies. Her opponent is the ghost hiding in the folds of the city, and her only weapon is the weight of truth.
Reader comments
It is a very shocking novel to me. The metaphors are accurate and charming, the plot is exciting, and the connection is very tight and smooth. As a short and medium novel, it is a rare masterpiece. However, there are still some flaws. In the description of the police, you can see that you are not familiar with the police case handling process. This kind of subject matter still attaches great importance to this aspect, which will affect the sense of substitution to a certain extent. It is recommended that you consider understanding it.
This is my first time writing a book review. I simply wrote something that I feel most clearly about. If you don't like it, don't criticize it [shy]
There are a lot of logical loopholes. After reading the last book, the author was still a domineering president... The style change is bold, but the logic still needs to be tempered.
