   It's not a cool article, it doesn't have an invincible start. The protagonist is an ordinary detective, and his only tricks are that he can see ghosts and touch the corpse to see the last 7 seconds of the deceased. The case starts with the corpse case, the woman in red, the conjuring game, the mirror world... Every chapter is foreshadowing, and every detail is foreshadowing. The heroine is a forensic doctor who doesn't believe in ghosts but will accompany you through life and death. The supporting characters each have their own secrets, and no one is purely a good guy. If you like the restrained atmosphere of "Lord of Mysteries" and the urban supernaturalism of "Late Night Bookstore", you will probably like this book. The title of the book is "The Nighttime Detective", which is being serialized on Tomato and is already fat enough to be slaughtered.

   "Old Drama Shocks, Throws Lives on Stage" is the case with the highest emotional concentration and the most complex narrative structure in the series "Corpse Murder: Hong Kong City Mysteries" by Hairpin Feng. From abandoned theaters to miniature stages, from blaming a madwoman to revenge twins, every foreshadowing has echoes and every detail has weight. It is no longer a single "who is the murderer", but "who is protecting whom, and who is sacrificing for whom." Hairan Feng used this case to prove her growth in criminal investigation literature: she can not only write beautiful closed loops of reasoning, but also write human realities that make people burst into tears. The people on the stage have already left, but the grievances off the stage have lasted for ten years. And the woman named Qi Yin spent her whole life fulfilling her promise to her sister - even though she was destined to be doomed, she was still willing to do so.
