The Man in the Trap
General Fiction套中人
Big Sleeves Covering The Sky
The cemetery is always so quiet. At a glance, there are eye-catching tombs wrapped among the endless mountains. The dense tombstones are neatly arranged. There are countless people lying under the ground, but there are almost no people on the ground. Sometimes it feels creepy to think about it: if the order of the tombstones represents the order in which everyone sleeps underground, then these neat tombstones are just corpses arranged in rows one after another. "Hurry up, let's put down the flowers and leave." Xiaogui said. Xiaogui is my colleague. One of his classmates passed away a few days ago. He happened to be on a business trip and missed the funeral. When he came back, he decided to give his classmate a bouquet of flowers. But he was too timid to come alone and insisted on dragging me along. "What's there to be afraid of during the day?" I laughed at him. "This is a cemetery, and it's very dark." He gritted his teeth and said.

Four bearers carried the sedan, bumping along the mountain path. In the sedan, Lao Cai, the prefect of Jinling, who had just finished his lunch, was humming a ditty as the sedan rocked, and dozed off in a daze. Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew by with dust, making it difficult to open one's eyes. The four bearers carrying the sedan raised their hands in unison, rubbed their eyes, and moved on. The four of them all had the same thought: The adult is overweight again. Tonight, either let him lose weight or let him get a raise! In the sedan, Lao Cai's sleepiness disappeared, and he looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in the sedan following the dusty wind with great vigilance.

Lingding Island (part 1)
General Fiction伶仃岛(上)
Half A Pot Of Autumn Water
Dusk. A girl in white sits alone on a rock by the sea, her beautiful face reflecting the sunset. She put her hands behind her, swung her legs down comfortably, and paddled her bare feet back and forth on the water. The salty sea breeze blew from a distance, blowing her waist-length hair away. From time to time, she brushed the messy hair behind her eyes behind her ears, but her eyes looked forward unblinkingly, as if she were on a pilgrimage. This is a small island. She has lived on this island since she was born and has never left, so she is full of curiosity about the other side of the sea. She often comes here secretly, sitting facing the boundless sea and feeling the breath of the sea brought by the sea breeze.

Double Trap

(japan) Morimura Seiichi
"Don't be like me when you grow up!" This is my father's mantra. "A man, why should I only carry a purse for others? Look at me, I have been carrying a purse for others all my life. You, when you grow up, you must stand out and be a person who lets others carry a purse for you!" During the evening drink, the drunken father's cheeks shone. So he would complain endlessly. The resentment that had been pent up in his heart seemed to burst out under the influence of alcohol. However, this kind of resentment can only be expressed in front of family members. "Mikifu, you must remember your father's grievances in this life!" Whenever my father was drunk and hazy, tears would flow down his face. My mother, on the other hand, always seemed restless.

Treasure Hunt
General Fiction夺宝记
Luoshui Zhener
The night wind is like a blade, cutting people's faces with pain. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the man in black clothes in a cloak floated to a small dilapidated temple without moving. He paused for a moment to make sure that no one was following him, and then walked into the temple in a cool manner. In the darkness, you can vaguely see a seated statue of Tathagata directly in front of you. The altar is in a mess, and there is nothing but dust in the incense burner. The man in black walked to the altar, held the incense burner with both hands, and turned it three times to the left and right. With a "quacking" sound, the seated statue of Tathagata automatically moved backwards, and a row of downward steps appeared below the seated statue. The man in black stepped onto the steps, and the long corridor revealed a pale yellow light. Every ten steps on the walls on both sides, there was a fist-sized luminous pearl inlaid on each side. At the end, there was a stone door blocking his eyes. The stone gate is divided into nine palaces by six lines, three horizontal and three vertical.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when Toko Koike came out of the magazine office. It was midsummer in August, and the bright sunshine swayed in front of her eyes, and she suddenly collapsed. When Tazi woke up, he found a girl squatting next to him. The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a pair of cute eyebrows under her shiny black hair. She looked at Tazi with a worried look on her face: "Are you okay? I called you several times but you didn't respond." "It's okay. She must have had heatstroke." Tazi showed a forced smile and said, "Thank you." "I'll help you." The girl pulled her up with some difficulty. Although Tazi repeatedly stated that she was fine on the way, the girl still insisted on sending her home.

Zou Tao and Gong Sanhai climbed over the last mountain ridge, and a black thing appeared in front of them. That thing had the majestic posture and momentum of a mountain, but it was completely black, with no grass or trees growing on it - it was an abandoned cinder mountain. Looking around, there was no sign of anyone. Gong Sanhai silently beat a drum in his heart, "0" asked Zou Tao to bring him here. Even if he was killed, chopped and cooked, no one would know about it in eight or ten years. Just when Gong Sanhai was in a daze, Zou Tao pushed him gently, and he slipped and rolled down the hillside.

Natsuki Shizuko
Sakai Mitsue's peaceful and somewhat boring life began to be broken from that day on. At the end of April, the sky was blowing with dry winds. That afternoon, as usual, Mitsue watched the neighbor's child Ikuo nibbling the olive bread leftover from the school lunch, while asking him where he was going for spring outing, chatting endlessly to pass the time. With the house key hanging around his neck, Ikuo is what society calls a "key child." Ikuo is in the fifth grade of elementary school and lives in a two-story cement building opposite Mitsumasa. He has no father, and his mother works in an insurance company, so Ikuo always hangs his keys inside his sweater or shirt. After school, he often picks up his schoolbag and goes straight to Mitsuae's house to play.

The taxi arrived at the door of the house, and Miura got out of the car after paying the fare. There have been days when I haven't drank so happily. The warm night breeze mixed with fresh green blew on my hot cheeks, making me feel particularly comfortable. So, he stood in the yard and enjoyed the breeze for a while before walking towards the door of his house. The house was shrouded in darkness, and it seemed that his wife Yuko had not returned from a class reunion. This is a family without children. The 46-year-old university professor had to take out the key to open the door by himself. He smiled bitterly, but he did not feel unhappy at all. Miura opened the door, walked into the living room the size of six reed mats, turned on the light and started to change clothes. This is a set of his habitual actions. He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall again. It was just past 10 o'clock.

Fear of Death
General Fiction死亡恐惧
Robin Coker
The sudden appearance of foreign proteins on the morning of Wednesday, October 11, was the molecular equivalent of the Black Death. This is a death sentence that cannot be mitigated. Cedric Harling knew nothing of the details of what was going on inside his body. In sharp contrast to his consciousness, every cell in his body knew clearly what kind of disaster awaited them. This new protein is spreading into them with an inexorable force, and the effect of a small amount of enzyme is completely insignificant to these menacing newcomers. This new protein causes the death hormone gene to appear in Cedric's subbrain glands. Once this fatal gene appears, its consequences are inevitable. Death hormones begin to join together in large amounts, enter the bloodstream, and are carried throughout the body from the bloodstream.

The photo of Pesi Ti Ti Rui Ling stared down at me sitting on the sofa. She looks about ten years old in the photo, four years younger than she is now. I've seen more recent photos of her and she's rapidly developing into a beautiful young lady. But when I think of her, I think of the gap-toothed child playing in what to her was the safest place in the world. I can see her opening gifts one after another on Christmas morning; I can see her playing with her puppy; I can also see her watching those cartoons. And I thought of everything that was to come: studying for final exams, introducing her nervous prom boyfriend to her parents, taking her children to visit her grandparents. I don't want to imagine my partner not going home. Detective Penny Moore handed me a cup of coffee and sat down next to me.

It's almost New Year, and the shops on both sides of the street have begun to be decorated with lights. We walked along, occasionally stopping to look at the cheap New Year goods sold by street vendors. Zhou Fan stood behind me in deep thought. I picked out a few blessing characters, paid the money and turned around. I found that Zhou Fan was a little distracted, so I asked: "Still thinking about that case?" Zhou Fan then realized that I had finished buying, stretched out his hand to tighten the scarf, smiled and said, "Well, I have been investigating for a week, but Mr. Xinlan Everything about Si's behavior is normal. I'm a little bit at a loss what to do." I sighed helplessly. Zhou Fan was always used to confuse cases with life. He patted my lovely tenant on the shoulder and said, "Let's go find Chen Yin first. We'll talk about the case in the afternoon."

The sunshine was soft, and a few straw plants were swaying in the autumn wind, as if they had been burned by a golden fire. There was a notice taped to the wall. The cold wind had playfully torn off a few corners, but the handwriting was still clear. Recently, female flower pickers have appeared in the city, and several people have been victimized. Anyone with a handsome appearance as a young man should not go out alone at night. Anyone who provides clues to the arrest will be rewarded fifteen taels of silver. A little girl stopped under the wall, her big eyes full of curiosity, like pods full of life in the field. She stared at the notice and read it up and down several times, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"Ah! Oh my god!" I opened the door, and the scene in front of me made me scream. I rubbed my eyes and looked again. The room was empty and there was nothing left. When I saw my husband carrying a box outside the window, I screamed: "Tom, Tom, we've been robbed! There's nothing left." As soon as Tom entered the door, the box in his hand fell to the ground with a plop. He ran over to me and hugged me, dumbfounded. "How - how -" He opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't say a word. He turned and rushed upstairs. I heard the thump of his footsteps, the sound of the door opening and closing, and his rough breathing. "Call the police!" He yelled. I fumbled for my phone in my handbag. It's unbelievable. Even the phone on the wall in our kitchen was taken away, and all of our son's rooms on the second floor were stripped bare.

The young people in the bookstore didn't seem to feel the boss's impatience. He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window and gently turned a page of the book without even changing the posture of holding the book. But if the boss stands up and walks to the young man, he will find that the black stage in the center of the bookstore will become clear. Surrounding the stage were countless girls, wearing uniform red dresses, who were shouting the names of their idols. Those shouts became less clear when they reached the third floor. They seemed to be "Li Qingtian" or "Li Jingtian", but no matter which name they were, they were not famous.

The last person who survived painfully recalled that night: every 10 minutes when the lights went out, one of them died cruelly... Seven classmates woke up one after another. They were either pressing their heads or rubbing their eyes. They were surrounded by silvery gray. This was a big room. It was like they were in a dream, not knowing where they were. There is an embedded round fluorescent lamp above the head, sealed inside the glass, emitting pale light, illuminating the cold darkness around it. Surrounded by stainless steel walls, rectangles protrude like neatly arranged, cold steel drawers in a morgue. There are no windows; there is a red quartz clock hanging on one wall. There is a larger upright rectangle in the corner of the room. It should be a door. It doesn't even have a handle. They seemed to have been imprisoned here and had been unconscious.

"What do you want?" Hearing the chef ask, the mysterious man wearing light brown sunglasses just muttered in a low voice while pointing at the counter with one hand. "I've kept you waiting. Sea urchin, salted salmon roe, scallops, crab sauce, and white shrimp!" The sushi chef energetically announced the names of the dishes and placed the freshly made sushi neatly in front of the mysterious man. Each piece of sushi comes in two pieces. But the man only ate one of each kind, and neither took away nor touched the other. Time passed by and the sushi was slowly drying out. The man stared intently at the tea cup in his hand, seemingly unaware that the sushi chef was looking at him from time to time. Gradually, the sushi chef's face turned red, his nostrils dilated, and his thick eyebrows furrowed into an inverted figure.

After arriving at the side hall, the previously reported tourists had disappeared. It was dark, and the old temple was filled with the smell of damp and rotten wood.

In fact, he probably had never even heard of him. In addition, what is confusing is that the person behind the murder, the person who wanted Jock dead, JR realized that he had never seen it before. Before the huge plane taxied onto the runway, JR's mind couldn't help but return to the scene between him and Joanna Lessing last night. "Okay," JR said, still clutching the photo. "You know why I came to Washington."

He was very unhappy there: "Xiao Tong, you only take the initiative to call and date me when you are working on a case." He still showed up half an hour later, throwing up and down a white flash drive that he bought for juice, and flipping through my case records: "Tomb robbing? Oh, there is an autopsy today? I'm impressed!" Even if there were ancient corpses, it was not Li Hao's turn to operate because he was not an expert, but a forensic doctor - Qinggang City Police Department has only one forensic doctor, and one person supports a department. As a new jobber, I have to call Li Hao senior in terms of seniority. It's just because we've been drinking a lot together that our relationship is not so formal. This case is indeed related to tomb robbing, but there is no body.

One day ago, the desert areas in southeastern Iraq and north of Kuwait were empty and deserted, but today an Iraqi T-72 tank unit appeared. The photos also show that the railway lines are transporting various military equipment. Only President Saddam's elite Republican Guard in the Iraqi army possesses such advanced equipment. This guard is mainly responsible for the task of protecting the capital Baghdad and is usually stationed in central Iraq not far from the capital. So what are these tanks doing hundreds of miles away?

At the bottom of the sarcophagus, there are countless corpses--dismembered corpses--this is the hospital's autopsy room. On the autopsy table, there was the body of an elderly man. From the opened chest, organs that had become horribly colored were exposed. A slender man was leaning over to observe the putrid corpse. The flame of the flickering candle reflected his upright silhouette. The man held paper and charcoal in his hands, and in the silent autopsy room late at night, he was sketching the corpse.

Whenever I think of this incident, I always feel extremely sad and devastated. Now, many years have passed, but every time I think about it, it is still as heartbreaking as before, and it is unforgettable for a long time. That day, I felt cold, shivering, and restless. You didn't listen to my advice of "don't go anywhere, stay at home with me" and went to the appointment alone. I ran to the balcony, watched you get into the car, and watched you leave with sad eyes. Then, the phone rang. But when I picked up the phone, there was no sound again, just like what happened in recent days. The calls came sometimes during the day and sometimes at night. There was silence at the other end of the line, no sound at all.

They decided to let Kyubey go in first. Darren Dick explained: First, Chubby is the oldest and most experienced person among them, so he should take the lead; second, Chubby is a newcomer to the team, and this is an opportunity to prove himself; third, Darren said that he did not agree with Chubby coming, but he had to come. Also, Qiu was fatter, and criminals hiding in the house would dig holes inside to avoid the police. Only someone who was bulky and slow to run could lure the criminals out. It was not until the other two saw clearly that they ran to report. Darren added that there will definitely be rewards, even money. "How do we know if there will be a reward?" Kyubey asked. Darren said: "There are always rewards for catching criminals." "How do we know there must be criminals inside?"

His head began to throb and ache again. Ming Ruotao took out two painkillers from his pocket and threw them into his mouth. He unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and took a few sips. The scenery in front of me became a little blurry, my hands and feet seemed to be unable to control themselves, and I felt numb. He sat on the flower bed on the side of the road for a while, and then he felt the pain gradually receding. The barrier between his mind and the world seemed to have become much thinner, but the soles of his feet were a little soft. Wiping the sweat from his head, he stood up, shook his head, identified the direction, and walked along the road to a teahouse on the side of the road. This teahouse has been open for more than 10 years. In the past few years, he has come here often, and every time he comes, he meets the same person. Now the man was sitting at the table by the window, peering out through the glass window nervously. When he saw him, he quickly raised his hand and waved, showing an expression of relief.
