    Self-recommendation of my recently completed novel, *A Thousand Considerations, One Mistake* [Criminal Investigation/Mystery/No Supernatural]: 1. In a single day, four people die. The suspect turns out to be the male police officer's elementary school homeroom teacher and the female police officer's childhood savior. 2. Four serial murders in 2024 are inextricably linked to three cold cases from 1999. What untold emotional entanglements lie behind them? 3. A cunning and ruthless killer, seeking revenge for his beloved, waits 25 years, meticulously plotting, believing his scheme to be flawless, only to make a fatal mistake—a single mistake indeed. [Plot] A man stabs a woman in front of police officers and jumps into the river during a manhunt. However, the body recovered by the police is not the perpetrator's. Immediately afterwards, new deaths appear in the apartment building elevator, at the hospital, and outside the police station, triggering a kidnapping incident. The special investigation team discovers that behind this series of conspiracies are three cold cases from 25 years ago, as well as the love, hatred, and business interests of several families. The culprit was cunning and meticulous in his planning, but made a ridiculous mistake, a classic case of overthinking. [Plot] The story encompasses crime investigation, mystery, suspense, business warfare, and a touch of romance. There are two timelines: one is the investigation of the serial cases in October-November 2024, and the other is the details of the cold case from 1996-1999.
