Incident Twenty years ago, Shanghai businessman Gu Yonghui hosted a banquet in his mansion, attended by only five celebrities: female star Luo, film director He Yuan, literature professor Zhou Weicheng, writer Ji Li, and doctor Liu Guoquan. All of them died, and the room was painted in red paint, as well as the bathroom with cosmetics. Gu Yonghui was found dishevelled and incoherent in a villa a few kilometers away, unable to explain the events of the night. Under intense pressure, the police arrested him for murder and closed the case. After 20 years, Gu Yonghui’s only son invites a group of renowned experts from various fields, including physics, mathematics, and criminal psychology, to investigate the case and uncover the truth behind the serial murders that occurred in the mansion. Gu Yonghui left behind a strange fairy tale, which may hold the key to solving the case. However, the investigation takes a deadly turn when Gu Yang, Gu Yonghui’s son, is killed in the mansion’s chamber of secrets. Could the real murderer from twenty years ago be among the crowd of investigators? The first book in the “Mathematician Chen Jue” series is now available. A strange fairy tale holds the key to uncovering the truth behind the twenty-year-old mansion murders. A closed circle of murder, with an invisible killer hiding in plain sight. 33
