In April, when the locust trees in the town were at their peak bloom, people began to die randomly in the town.
There was a strange and contented smile on the face of the deceased - the medical examiner said that it was a wound torn facial muscles.
When the new police detective tracked down an abandoned cemetery, he felt wet mud prints on the stone tablets.
But the soil that should have been cold was actually seeping with fresh blood, mixed with the sweet fragrance of locust flowers.
The night the sixth body appeared, he found his family's ring on the murder weapon.
A line of small words is engraved on the inside of the ring: "Only blood can wake up spring."
