The discovery of a body leads to the reopening of two old cases, and despite many clues, the source of the crime is difficult to find. Police officer Zhou Yu decides to investigate both the old and new cases together, but things take a suspicious turn when he locates his target. With an indecipherable alibi, unconnected people involved in the case, and evasive families of the victims, the story of the cold bones buried in the dirt for decades begins to unfold on a hot summer’s day. This thrilling mystery novel presents a wonderful combination of traditional puzzle-solving and deep social insight, bringing together two different ideologies in a unique way. A mysterious delivery leads to an exciting adventure that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. And the burning question remains: what is the connection between three bodies buried more than a decade apart? Find out in this captivating novel. 86
