When the unsolved case of "The Puppet Master", which had been lying dormant for fifteen years, resurfaces, criminal profiler Lu Zhiyan and female detective Jiang Xun with keen intuition are forced to form an incompatible partner. He believes in logic and data and is a walking rational barrier; she relies on insight and instinct and is an unruly flame.

When reason and intuition finally meet, it is the light that illuminates all evil - the eclipse light.

Linghen Jilu - Promise on the Other Side

Two Cents

81K0

"The Promise on the Other Side" He can see the sorrow of another world, but cannot see his dusty past. A pair of yin and yang eyes brings together the obsessions of the living and the dead; an unsolved case opens the Pandora's box of human nature and desire. This is the first part of the "Spirit Traces" series, and it is also my first series of works as a new writer. It will be unfolded in the form of a unit drama. Each novella is a past event entangled by obsession, a soul wandering on the border. It records how Bai Ye and the people around him were involved in mysteries woven by obsessions, and how they searched for the beginning of light and truth in the darkness. The writing may be immature and the story may not be perfect, but the emotion and sincerity contained in it are real. I was deeply inspired by the style of "the interweaving of companionship and supernatural mysteries" in Hu Xuan's "Case Book" series, and I longed to create a story that could still convey warmth and courage in a weird atmosphere. I hope you can tolerate this youthfulness and witness with me the beginning of this journey of agreement, redemption and growth.

Fog Locks San Francisco: America

Sauce-flavored Bbq

105K0

The wet fog in San Francisco in 1997 hid a colder secret than the sea fog. Rosa Linde, a British female college student, went to the United States to complete a forensic practice report, but was accidentally involved in a series of murders. The three deceased bodies were abandoned next to city landmarks, with a rusty brass cross clutched at their fingertips. The circumstances of their deaths were exactly the same as the plot of the out-of-print detective novels she collected. The person in charge of "assisting" the investigation is Roland Peder, a well-known local gangster detective: an apartment with piles of cigarette butts, a coat pocket that always carries whiskey, and a living on the change earned from finding cats, but he has a pair of eyes that can pick out clues from the garbage. Rosa's mysophobia is incompatible with his sloppiness, and her obsessive-compulsive observation of details collides with his "superstitious" intuitive judgment, making her the most absurd temporary partner in the San Francisco Police Department. The murders escalate one after another. The strange symbols around the deceased and the subtle traces of disappearances at the scene all point to a lost and terrifying manuscript. Rosa relies on her photographic memory to dismantle clues, while Roland uses charlatanism to open up underground connections. The two approach the truth through mutual dislike and dependence - the murderer is not only reproducing the murders in the novel, but is also weaving a web of death against them. When the church bells collide with gunshots in the fog, the squeamish academic master and the bastard detective must break the barriers: hidden in the ignored dust are the last messages of the deceased; and the Taekwondo black belt around Roland's waist may be the only confidence to fight against the darkness. The wet mist has not yet dispersed, but the next sacrifice is already waiting in the shadows.
