Yunling Without Moon

In the Yunling Mountains on the southwest border, a seemingly ordinary "love murder" opened up the festering wounds of the grassroots financial system. Ouyang Zhengfang, the proprietress of a hot pot restaurant, fell off a cliff and died. Her lover, Wen Zhenghua, deputy director of the town credit cooperative, was hastily arrested. However, during the investigation, detective Yu Heqiu discovered that her death was just the tip of the iceberg of a huge black network of "rebates". Behind the 37 loans, 21 merchants, and 630,000 yuan in stolen money are silent villagers, a speechless system, and objectified women. When the official seal is rusty and the account books are hidden, how can justice break through the quagmire of human relationships and interests? Young Liu Xiaoman remembers the bowl of beef she gave her, Lin Suyun finally dares to tell her husband's crime, and the new auditor Zhou Min is uncovering a deeper "poverty alleviation loan" scam... This is not only a criminal investigation, but also an inquiry into the silent structure of rural China: when everyone chooses to close their eyes, who will light a lamp for the person who tells the truth? The whole book outlines power, desire and redemption with cold writing styles, and illuminates the glimmer of human nature in a moonless land.
