Synopsis

This is the most elegant murder, and the most brazen provocation.

The killer writes crime manifestos in symbols, proving their patience over a span of fifteen years.

They kill not merely to silence their victims, but as if completing a “harvest” that is twenty years overdue.

As Lu Chen pursues the case, he is drawn step by step into the Reaper’s sights.

In an abandoned sanatorium, Li Guohua, a renowned history professor at a major university and an expert in semiotics, is murdered. The method bears a startling resemblance to the 0917 series of cases from fifteen years ago. Even more baffling, Zhao Ming, the victim of a case three years ago, and Li Guohua had both been subjects in a secret Cold War research project. After all these years, the test subjects are being killed one after another, and Lu Chen, the police officer investigating the case, is himself among the targets. Why is this happening? What is the ultimate secret of that project? Who is the real killer? Why do they know the police so well? Could they be a mole hiding within the police force?

I want stories like "Military Marriage: The Fierce-Looking Officer Is Wrapped Around the Finger of a Stunning Painter". I’m in the mood for stories set in a bygone era! The heroine should be capable in her own right, or have a golden finger, but she mustn’t be stupid.

Period Stories with a Selfish, Pleasure-Loving Hoarder Who Has a Pocket Dimension

I don't like stories about raising kids. A CP is fine, but no CP is even better. I like a protagonist who quietly uses her own golden finger, without getting involved with other people. She should be ruthless, killing off every rotten person and leaving them on the mountain for the wolves.
