The next day, Uncle Sun rode his bicycle to the village with news. The factory had held a meeting. Zhenghao was fired, and I was offered his position. They even promised me a special post, knowing I was a single mother. I packed up, took my two-year-old daughter, and rode on the back of Uncle Sun’s bike to the city. The early spring wind was chilly, but my heart was full of hope. This time, I was determined to take control of my own fate. The factory leadership wanted to put me in logistics, but I…-

Everyone was stunned. Auntie Liu pulled me aside, “Yinghua, how will you manage alone with a child?” Others chimed in, “Men make mistakes. As long as he repents, it’s fine.” They only saw Zhenghao’s momentary lapse, not the lifetime of hardship I’d endured. I looked Uncle Sun in the eye. “Uncle, after my father died, the job should have been mine. But since I married Zhenghao, he took it instead.” “Now that we’re divorcing, and I’m left alone with our daughter, can…

Perfect Crime Chapter 5
When she told Hou her plan, he was horrified. "You’re crazy," he said. "That man is your husband and my friend." But Lihua had anticipated his fear. She leaned close, her tone soft yet threatening. "If you refuse," she hissed, "I’ll tell him everything about us, about the nights you came to my house while he was gone." Hou froze. He was sixty then, his body weaker than it once was. If Zhao learned of the affair, Hou wouldn’t stand a chance. The younger man would beat him to…-

Perfect Crime Chapter 4
The police brought Hou in. But before his interrogation began, Kou called with breaking news: Lihua had confessed. At first, she was evasive, repeating that Zhao had abandoned them. Kou revealed the police already had evidence, and that Minhui was also under arrest. Her composure cracked. Under pressure, she began to cry, then admitted the truth: she, Minhui, and Hou Wenguo had killed Zhao Quancheng and buried his body in the same forested mountain area the police had searched earlier. It made…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 5
Needle in the Haystack Alex landed in Tallinn just after sunrise, the Baltic air still sharp with winter. He had showered quickly at the hotel the embassy had arranged, changed into clean clothes, and taken a taxi straight to the Police and Border Guard Board headquarters in the city center. By the time he walked in, a representative from the U.S. Embassy was already waiting in the small briefing room—a mid‑forties consular officer with a tired but steady gaze and a folder marked “Emma Carter –…-

Perfect Crime Chapter 3
His account made it sound like Zhao had simply gone to start a new life elsewhere, but Kou wasn’t convinced. Two daughters, and not a single visit in over a decade? That didn’t fit the man’s character. The detectives suspected the worst: Zhao hadn’t left alive. After the interview, Li asked Kou, "Now that we have Ye Minhui’s name, should we go speak to him?" Kou shook his head. "Not yet. We shouldn’t tip anyone off. Let’s report back to Director Zhou first." Back at the Bureau,…-

The Pyramid Chapter 11
THE TEAR OF GOD RA "I summoned you," she said softly. "I'm glad that you thought enough of me to come." He remained silent. It was the only thing that he could do. No one was supposed to have enough presence of mind, or of breath, even, when spoken to by the goddess, to reply unless expressly ordered to do so. "Enter. Don't be afraid." Then, reading his thought: "We'll forget all about what happened over in the pyramid." He suspected that she was lying, but he felt a certain sense of relief at…-

The Pyramid Chapter 10
THE UNDERGROUND PALACE Menni, governor of the Royal Palace, still distraught, still more or less sick at heart, despite his well-known courage and resourcefulness, had accompanied the royal party back from the pyramid and, as usual when feeling like that, resolved to find comfort in work. There was plenty to do. Not since the days of the "great ones of Abydos," the founders of the empire, had the activities of "the one who lives at Memphis" achieved such a scale of magnificence. The double palace of…-

The Pyramid Chapter 9
PLOTS AND COUNTER PLOTS Had the wide world been searched for the purpose a more striking contrast could not have been found—Netokris—refreshed, but still languorous after her bath and breakfast—and the creature who squatted on the floor there in front of her. He was jet black, short and broad, had a huge and hideous head, made to appear still larger by the crinkly mane of black outstanding wool. The blackness of his skin was accentuated by the white sheet he had drawn about him. No one else…-

Perfect Crime Chapter 2
That afternoon, Kou and Li went back to town in plainclothes for discreet interviews. They asked elderly villagers whether a man surnamed Zhao with a wife surnamed Liu had vanished around 2009. Surprisingly, someone remembered such a couple. An old man said, "There was a guy named Zhao Quancheng. He used to work odd jobs in the city and came back for festivals. After 2009, we never saw him again. His wife’s name was Liu Lihua." Zhao Quancheng and Liu Lihua the names were strikingly close to…-
