Three days before her wedding, Xiang Wanqing was locked in a room with its windows nailed shut.
She came back 403 days later. She brought a piece of candy wrapper folded 403 times, a set of coordinates hidden inside a wall, and a memory no one was willing to believe.
Her fiancé stood at the hospital room door with flowers in his hands, saying he'd called the police that very day. The police flipped through their notes and reminded her: under extreme stress, the brain can create memories of things that never happened.
She didn't argue. She simply gave them three details they could verify, and the location 1.2 meters inside the wall behind the bed.
She didn't want him dead. She wanted him to say two words in front of everyone: It was me.
