The Fate Is Not Bad

A spy suspense novel of the Republic of China, with 200 chapters and about 800,000 words. One-sentence positioning: An archivist tracks down a series of deaths, only to discover that the murderer is no one, including himself. In the autumn of 1946, Shanghai after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Zeng Guangqin, a file inspector from the Second Division of the Security Bureau, discovered that behind the closure of a series of "suicide" and "accidental" cases, he discovered that the filing time was mismatched, signatures were used fraudulently, and old files were transferred. He went out to conduct on-the-spot investigations, tracing all the way from the death of Tang Sitong to the old case of Shen Bozhou twenty years ago. Every case was like a murder, and every clue pointed to a conspiracy; but when he really dug to the bottom, he found that every account had an executor: the person who signed, the person who filed, the person who gave the order, and the person who executed the order, but no one was the "murderer." The person who shoots has an order, the person who gives the order has pressure, and the person who puts pressure has fear. The source of fear is the rule itself. And his name was signed on the old case file from twenty years ago. There are no Japanese spies, no undercover agents, or golden fingers in the book. The murderer was not a single person, but a whole system: a report that had been altered for thirty minutes, an official document that "happened" to be urgent, and a "casual" remark at the meeting. In seven to fifteen days, a person will "die of natural causes." No murderer, no murder weapon, no blood, just a perfect case file.
