"Critical Value" is a suspenseful novel with statistical work as the main line.
The director of the Law Enforcement Division of the Municipal Bureau of Statistics, Silence, was demoted to the archives for refusing to sign false data. He received an anonymous email and learned that his mentor Chen Shanhe died not of a myocardial infarction twenty years ago, but of poisoning. On the last night before his death, Chen Shanhe stayed in front of the computer and waited for his students to "calculate that number."
Following professional clues such as statistical caliber, outliers, correlation and causation, Shen Shen dug out a criminal chain from the misappropriation of poverty alleviation funds to cross-border money laundering from seven canceled villages, 21 missing insiders, and a sum of 11.678 Million funds that had been flowing for 27 years.
When all the evidence pointed to a higher place of power, Shen Sheng finally understood: What the master left for him was not hatred, but a book of "Statistical Law" and three letters. The critical value is not the poverty line of 2,300 yuan, but that he finally learned that he must move forward even if he cannot figure it out.
Purpose: Director of the Law Enforcement Division of the Municipal Bureau of Statistics, Shen Mo, did not expect that the first time in his life that he would personally make a statistical report was to write an "alibi" for himself in a murder case.
