Synopsis

The story is set in the French Concession in Shanghai in the 17th year of the Republic of China. A bizarre murder occurs in an old pawnshop. The gilded Buddha in the shop disappears, leaving only a bird feather on the scene. A private detective with a cold personality who lives in seclusion in the concession enters the investigation. He followed the subtle clues of the secret message passed by the tame bird and discovered that hidden inside the Golden Buddha were all the evidence that the water transportation official silver was stolen ten years ago and the whole family died tragically. The case involves high-ranking officials in the concession, sinister pawnshop owners, and stoic avengers. All parties have hidden agendas, plot against each other, and constantly set up traps to mislead the detectives. The whole text abandons the thrilling and bloody scenes, and relies on detailed reasoning and psychological games to advance the plot, with multiple reversals interlocking with each other.

The most rare choice is to abandon the pursuit of violence and novelty and focus on reasoning and psychological games. An old case involves many forces, and they are intertwined. The further you go, the more you can understand the helplessness behind the characters. The cool writing style is very suitable for readers who like suspense and slow-paced reasoning of the Republic of China.
