She Carried a Red Umbrella

“I know she’s with him.”

“Where?”

“In the ground.”

A brutal serial murder case takes place in Quanjing City. The killer is a woman just over thirty. A senior female reporter from the city newspaper interviews her, hoping to piece together the entire case from the killer’s point of view and uncover why she committed the murders. But she discovers that the killings have no cause or history behind them. The killer’s motive is utterly ordinary, as ordinary as someone walking along the road and casually kicking a pebble aside. It has nothing to do with any change in mood or any good or bad intention. She simply suddenly wanted to do it. That’s all.
