   --- *The Truth About Murder*: When two souls reside within one body, who is the real killer? Late at night, detective Ti An receives a bizarre murder case. The only clue is a woman named Cheng Hui. But the "Cheng Jing" and "Chen Jing" she describes are two completely different people. "Dissociative Identity Disorder?" When Ti An first heard this term, he only thought it was absurd. Multiple personality disorder? Isn't this something that only exists in movies? But as the investigation deepens, he finds himself falling step by step into an abyss woven from fragmented memories. Cheng Hui's narrative is fragmented, sometimes gentle and timid, sometimes cold and sharp. It's as if two souls truly reside within the same body. One victim, two "existing" suspects. When the truth is fragmented by personality, who is lying? Who is the real killer? *The Truth About Murder*—a deadly game about identity and memory. When you can't even trust yourself, can you still believe the truth before you? Highly recommended!!

   A floating corpse? A woman's body is discovered on the riverbank, and an old angler's words keep the detective up all night! A late-night call brings news of a floating corpse under the Qingshui Bridge. Police respond quickly, but an eerie atmosphere pervades the scene—a young night angler trembles as he reports the incident, while the old angler calmly states, "It's a woman's corpse." Why such certainty? Is the popular folk rule of "men face down, women face up" for drowning really that simple? In the criminal investigation team, Guo Bai, plagued by nightmares, is awakened, while his partner, He Zeyu, experiences violent chest heaving. Is it a coincidence, or has the old angler witnessed too many "accidents"? That phrase, "You'll know after seeing a lot," is chilling upon closer inspection… Is it based on experience, or an unintentional self-incrimination? What gruesome truth lies behind this woman's corpse? The key to solving the case may lie with the first person to arrive at the scene. #Suspense #MindBending #HighIQCrime #A Chilling Short Story Every Night

   - Female Lead: Song Qinghan, 23 years old, a forensic medicine graduate, currently working at the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Forensic Science Center. She has had a vague ability to sense "abnormal magnetic fields" since childhood (potential for having the ability to see ghosts). Her grandmother disappeared three years ago in the old city area of "Yong'anli," leaving behind a series of mysteries about the "Water Ghost Festival" and the "Crossing-the-Calamity Plate." She has a cold exterior but a warm heart, and is meticulous in her logic. Due to her grandmother's disappearance, she is both resistant to and obsessed with supernatural events, always carrying a peach wood talisman and half a piece of Hetian warm jade given to her by her grandmother. - Male Lead: Shi Qingyue, 26 years old, ostensibly an ancient book restorer, but actually from the "Shi Family," a prominent family of Taoist practitioners who have guarded the "Crossing-the-Calamity Plate" for generations. His father, Shi Yanzhi, disappeared in a fire in Yong'anli in 1998. To find his father and unravel the family secrets, he disguises himself as Song Qinghan's neighbor. Mysterious in skill, he possesses a fountain pen filled with his father's bone powder and cinnabar (capable of warding off evil spirits), is extremely knowledgeable about paranormal events, and has a calm and patient personality. His feelings towards Song Qinghan evolve from wariness to protection. - Core Clue: The Ancient Bronze Disc of Crossing Calamities, capable of balancing yin and yang and suppressing evil spirits, can also be used by those with malicious intentions to open a passage between yin and yang. Originally guarded by the Shi family, it disappeared after the Yong'anli fire in 1998. Clues point to Song Qinghan's grandmother and the Zhou family's antique shop. - Worldview: In a modern city (the fictional "Linhai City"), paranormal events are hidden in everyday life: vengeful spirits in old buildings, spirits attached to ancient artifacts, and evil rituals. The worlds of mystical families and ordinary people coexist. Most people are unaware of the "abnormalities," while a few (such as the Shi, Song, and Zhou families) are drawn into a fateful entanglement.
