Lin Yan, the city's criminal investigation elite, was voluntarily transferred out of the bustling urban area for some reason and landed in Qingxi Town, a remote and isolated water town. I wanted to stay away from the turmoil and focus on my work, but on the day I checked in, I encountered a bizarre murder - the body of a fisherman floating in the Qingxi River. The villagers insisted that it was the river god who claimed his life, and strange rumors swept the whole town.
After investigating the scene, she, who did not believe in ghosts and gods, keenly concluded that this was a carefully faked drowning case. The yellowed old photo left on the deceased's body had the words "Next is the Old Bridge" written clearly on the back, dragging the dusty secrets of decades ago into the light of day again.
The dark clouds over the old bridge, the legend of the River God, serial killing intentions, small town secrets that have been silenced for generations... Murderous cases disguised as supernatural beings were staged one after another. Everyone was avoiding it, but she was the only one determined to pursue it.
When superstition and fear enveloped the town, she used logic as a blade and evidence as a lamp, vowing to tear apart the dark shadows deep in Qingxi and find the real murderer hidden under the mask of the river god.

The author is very good at using the environment and details to create a sense of oppression: old houses, antiques, strange noises in the middle of the night, ghosts flashing, layers of curses... He does not rely on bloody curiosity, but relies on psychological thrillers to penetrate little by little. It is easy to read and immerse, and you will often feel chills on your back.
