Recommended by Luo Xiang. The forty-year chronicle of a villainous girl has been called by netizens "the darkening of the despised Yoko" and "a more realistic version of "Everything Is Fine"". Suzuki Yoko died in the apartment where she lived alone. To be precise, Yoko Suzuki died a few months ago. Because when she was found, her body was not only eaten by the eleven cats in the house, but all the cats also starved to death. Suzuki Yoko is obviously the best example of "dying alone", but why did this woman end up in this situation? Where are her relatives, friends, and colleagues? What is the trajectory of her life? This book uses two relatively independent death incidents as clues to lead to three intertwined cases. It tells the story of the heroine Yoko's personal struggle in the era, and her step-by-step slide from mediocrity to the hopeless abyss. The story takes place in a Japanese city in 2014. The book is divided into three lines: the first line is the case of "middle-aged woman dying alone", starting from the discovery of the female body, describing the investigation process of policewoman Ayano, and gradually revealing the life of the heroine Yoko. The second line begins with the case of "Death of Non-Profit Organization Leader". Two seemingly unrelated cases gradually intersected, intertwining the truth. The third line narrates Yoko's life experience in the second person, starting from Yoko's childhood to the discovery of the female body, and delicately describes Yoko's growth and changes and the process of being swallowed up by society.
