I'm entering the novella and short story mystery writing contest. Please shower me with lots of nutrient solution. Thank you!
On a rainy night in the summer of 2015, a car crash occurred on the Yunning Expressway. The crash sparked a fire, leaving a father and son dead and gravely injured, respectively.
Everyone thought it was an ordinary accident caused by drowsy driving, until sleeping pills were found in the driver's system... Things began to grow increasingly mysterious, and two young women came under police scrutiny.
One was the deceased's stepmother; the other was his cousin.
Husband, stepson, uncle, aunt, niece, teacher, male cousin, female cousin... The tangled relationships among the four gradually became clear.
As the investigation deepened, just when the police thought they were on the verge of uncovering the truth, an even greater secret, one spanning time and space, began to emerge. Then the critically injured survivor suddenly died.
What was the truth behind the two deaths?
What secret was hidden in this family that seemed so happy and perfect to outsiders?
This is a story about two girls finding salvation and helping each other become whole.
"You are my safety net, but you can no longer stop me from falling."
Theme: Obey the law
I like this work very much. The writing is smooth and delicate, and it is easy to relate to it when reading it. I majored in criminal psychology in college and have been exposed to many cases like Xixi's. I also encountered them after I started working. Unfortunately, life is never easy, and the ending is not what everyone wants. What is cruel is that many adult versions of Xixi linger in painful memories and the instinct to live all their lives. What does that feel like? Patients say it is like you are in a half-awake and half-asleep state, the brain cannot function normally, and your will keeps you awake all the time.
