[Suspense + Romantic Mystery + Serial Case + Stockholm Syndrome]
A highly intelligent and rational reporter and an arrogant supermodel join forces to hunt down the murderer.
Qiu Yuanyuan, a rebellious and precocious high school girl, was obsessed with collecting suicide notes, but she was involved in a series of "human blood buttons" murders and disappeared mysteriously.
Three years later, the prophecy came true, and button murder cases broke out one after another: a naked female body that was eaten by rats was found under a bridge, clutching red buttons; female teacher Li Yazhen was found dead at home the night after getting the buttons; button collector Wang Sheng's legacy after his death was ten empty boxes... Each button is like a curse from the god of death, pulling out the unknown secrets of the collectors club.
Reporter Jian Dongping finally found the murderer's flaw in repeated confrontations with the five suspects. But he found that he had a dangerous empathy with the murderer. As the murderer said, this was not so much a reasoning game as a psychological duel. Everyone has weaknesses and everyone may do something wrong...
Reader comments
As far as the novel itself is concerned, it is a very good one in the Jian Dongping novel series. Of course, I think the subsequent "Gangster No. 1" Is more exciting and emotionally gripping. It should be a book that can be compared with Moran's series "The Premeditation of the Wind". Friends who have watched "Button Murder" must go and watch "Gangster No. 1", You will be very happy.
The story uses buttons as clues, the scene is very large, and the characters who appear one after another are dazzling. I used a mind map to record the relationships between the characters, and found that it is really easy to use. I quickly sorted out the relationships and got into the state. There are almost no big bugs in the advancement of the plot. The psychological characteristics of the characters are distinct, and the killer's methods of committing crimes are clever. When the progress bar reaches 70 or 80%, the clues are very clear, but it can still catch the reader's attention until the end.
2025.10.7 19:58 After listening, on the way to Shanghai, the three years of imprisonment changed Yuanyuan. Didn't she have a chance to take it out during the three years?
The love of a murderer is sometimes particularly touching. It is pure because of its extremes. The process of carving the soul is painful, but it is also successful and beautiful. Yuanyuan and he were destined to meet each other, and love and hate are one and the same. If I don't hate you, how can I prove my love?
I read it when I was in high school. I remember that when I first read it, I couldn't put it down. The murderer in the ending was unexpected and reasonable... Now I'm going to review it to commemorate the author.
The whole story is very cleverly conceived, without the simple technical setting of the secret room. The narrative is smooth, the writing is humorous, and it is interesting and vivid to read. The plot is complex but not boring. It solves the mystery while also revealing human nature.
The author has a male style of writing and a female delicacy, which I think is very good. So far, this is the first ghostly book I have read. I will look for a few more, and I hope it will not disappoint me.
Although there are many murder plots and perverted stories, the author's kind nature, tolerance for human nature, and romance and innocence can't be concealed. Therefore, reading her books does not feel scary, but it is very exciting because the characters are vivid, the rhythm is relaxed, and they show humanistic care and elegant temperament.
The whole story is very cleverly conceived, without the simple technical settings of a locked room murder. The narrative is smooth, the writing is humorous, the metaphors are interesting and vivid, and the plot is complex but not boring. It solves the mystery while also revealing human nature. In my opinion, although this book has elements of romance, it is still an excellent mystery novel.
The protagonist's cp is so good, Lu Jin and Yuanyuan are so touching and cunning. The metaphor of air at the end is too contrived.
Stockholm Syndrome is always so fascinating, and this book as a whole is the same. There are many things that seem very common, but they can always touch people's hearts. Human greed, suspicion, inadvertent concern for the opposite sex, desire to be loved, etc.
I almost forgot about the novel I read many years ago. I didn't expect to see it on Tomato. It's great! 👍🏻Watch it again [laughs]
All of Gui Ma Xing's novels are super good, I love them! [Like][Like][Blow kiss]
I like the author's writing style, the storyline is not wordy
It is very suitable for readers to reason, and it gives a lot of clues. It is a bit like a script killing, but the love part is too boring, so I skipped it.
I didn't think much of it at first, but later I realized that there were many connections between the characters, which was a bit suspenseful.
Many psychological descriptions are well written, and you can see the psychological changes of both parties in the game. It's okay, a big game of chess. It turns out that the protagonist of the Labyrinth Spider appears here.
I love this book in Jian Dongping's series, but Qiu Yuanyuan's transformation in the next one is amazing!
With her own characteristics and delicate emotional descriptions, Guimaxing is indeed a very representative local female mystery writer.
If Maze Spider shows Lu Jin's charm, Button Murder Case shows Yuan Yuan's charm. Watching them together is the real deal!
This story should be a very good story, and the writing is also very exciting. It's just that the murderer is also the protagonist in the later part. I already know who the murderer is after reading the later book, which is a little regretful.
"The Button Murder Case" by Guima Xing, starting from the button with a strange symbol in the title, drags the readers into a layered suspense puzzle. Different from mystery novels that purely pursue excitement, the most touching thing about this book is that in the process of unraveling the case, there is a delicate inquiry into human nature.
This is the first time I know about Gui Ma Xing and the first time I have read Gui Ma Xing's mystery novel. It is unexpectedly good. I plan to read all her books.
So far so good
Finished reading it in one go
Buttons, I didn't expect that there is such a thing in the world that can be used as evidence. Jian Dongping peeled off the cocoon and finally captured it. In fact, this extraordinary love between Yuan Yuan and Lu Jin is quite unique.
Lu Jin appears, this gentle and elegant murderer.
Even the passive party has the right to choose, and the weak party also has his own judgment standards. I am not outstanding, but I have the right not to love you who is better than me.
Good looking, good looking, good looking, good looking, good looking, good looking
I felt a little melancholy after watching the ending.
I read it in junior high school, and recently became obsessed with the Stockholm theme, so I will review it. As Yuanyuan and Lu Jinkong, they said there should be more follow-up.
It is an eternal truth that hostages fall in love with kidnappers. A smooth, interesting and thought-provoking detective novel!
