The Midnight Long Street Case

I write however I please. If you don't like it, feel free to move along. I don't welcome unsolicited advice, thank you!

Midnight in Jiang City. On a deserted street left quiet by the pandemic, a woman falls dead, her body slumped over a man. The police determine that the female victim was stabbed in the chest, while the male victim died after hitting the back of his head on a stone bench.

The knife handle bears the male victim's fingerprints. The evidence seems conclusive: as the man stabbed the woman to death, she used the last of her strength to push him over, and they both died.

Just as the police are preparing to close the case, Xu Jingmo raises a few questions of his own. The victims didn't know each other, so what was the motive for the murder? Why was there blood from the scene of the deaths five hundred meters away? Who threw the female victim's lingerie into the trash? And who pulled the necklace from her neck?

Gu Tingxu slowly exhales a cloud of smoke, narrowing his eyes as he looks at the face so exquisite it seems kissed by God. He gives a cold, merciless order: "Get to work. Find the truth!"

Please add my upcoming novel, Who Killed Her?

After being laid off, Tang Chuzhi returns home to inherit a general store. Its backyard opens onto an ancient world. From then on, Tang Chuzhi's shop sells all kinds of goods that can make people's dreams come true, such as the sacred Mucha Dui, which makes people smarter.

An elderly person living alone is found dead in Huasheng Complex, across the street from Caijialing Market. Yi Baiheng discovers that the source of the murder case is connected to a general store.

Tang Chuzhi notices someone lurking suspiciously outside his shop again and again, never buying or stealing anything. Leaning against the doorframe, he looks down at them and asks, "Are you interested in me, or my general store?"

Yi Baiheng lights a cigarette and takes a deep drag. Smoke veils his eyes. "Both. What about it?"
