On rainy nights in Qingzhou City, strange cases always happen quietly: shadow puppets in midnight theaters seeking their lives, thieves walking out of ancient paintings, serial murders when nursery rhymes are sung... When the police are trapped by bizarre appearances, detective Liu Sanxin can always clear up the fog. Wearing a white-washed Chinese tunic suit, he uses keen observation to dismantle strange layouts, and uses calm logic to expose people's pretense - behind those seemingly supernatural and strange cases, there is always greed, resentment and unrevealed past events.
From abandoned theaters to ancient courtyards, from strange symbols to missing traces, Liu Sanxin follows clues to find the truth at the interface between absurdity and reality. The conclusion of every bizarre case is an inquiry into human nature; every exposure of the truth proves that no matter how bizarre the appearance is, it is no match for the logic and conscience deep in the human heart.
Follow Liu Sanxin's footsteps to unlock the human game behind each "secret case" and see how the detective tears through the darkness in the fog and lets the truth come to light.
Reader comments
"Dark Night" is a unique suspense detective masterpiece. The protagonist Liu Sanxin has a distinctive image, and his white-washed Mao suit and calm logic are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The novel cleverly combines character reasoning and Chinese folklore. Cases such as the secret room in the theater and the conspiracy in the bell tower are exquisitely designed, combining logic and oriental mystery. The narrative progresses layer by layer, starting from the unit mystery and gradually uncovering the huge conspiracy of the "Shadow Gate" organization, with excellent suspense setting and rhythm control. At the end, while solving the Qingzhou case, the suspense of the "Wooden Box" naturally opens a more grand chapter of "The Shadow Shepherd", with a far-reaching layout. The protagonist is both wise and brave, and the personal fate and human choices he carries add to his depth. It can be called a stunning start to a series with high completion and great potential.
