The Crime Case Closer

This book tells five spine-chilling stories. Through horrifying deaths and unimaginable methods of murder, one villain after another is dragged out of the darkness and brought into the sunlight of justice.

Written in the first person, the story follows Li Linqing, captain of the criminal investigation squad in Shuichuan City. During the Wudaokou serial murder case, he receives a message from a stranger that overturns a case already considered closed beyond doubt. Guided by clues, he goes on to solve four more highly puzzling cases, eventually uncovering the dark forces behind them. Along the way, he faces not only the killers' counter-investigation tactics, but also the last remnants of morality in human nature. The methods used in the five bizarre cases are exceptionally dark, involving psychological control, fabricated evidence, coercion and false accusations, silencing witnesses, rape, and other evil crimes.

Behind each case is a mysterious clue guiding Li Linqing to keep digging. The five cases seem unrelated, yet they are all inextricably tied to a hidden secret. It turns out that in this society, bad people can become good, and good people can also be bad. Often, we can fend off an enemy's open attack, but cannot guard against a hidden blade from someone close to us. But as long as the police force remains committed to serving the people's interests, all darkness will be replaced by light.

Through a police officer's approach to solving crimes, Li Linqing reveals not only the truth behind each case, but also the evil in human nature.
