Perfect Crime Chapter 1
It was late April 2022 when the Public Security Bureau of Lingchuan County in Yunzhou, Sichuan Province, received a strange letter. It was a tip-off, an anonymous report of a supposed murder. The letter claimed that back in 2009, a man named Zhao Yiming from Shuanghe Town, Lingchuan County, had been killed by his wife, Liu Mei, and that his body was dumped somewhere in a forested ravine or a cave nearby. The letter named another man, Chen Xiaobo, as Liu Mei’s accomplice. The police had never…-

Li Wei swung his leg over the sill, found himself in a bedroom. But he wasn’t alone. Stretched out on the bed, in cheap, imitation lace-trimmed step-ins and the flimsiest of net brassieres, was a young girl with bobbed platinum hair and intensely red lips. She seemed to be sleeping. One rounded arm was bent above her head. The other lay across her gently curved stomach. For a moment Li Wei watched her small, half-globed breasts rise under the brassiere cups. Her eyes were closed, their long, dark…-

The Pyramid Chapter 8
ISIS ON EARTH The pyramids pink in the morning light, just as they always are, to this day; but one of them ruddier than the others—the smallest and most beautiful of the three mighty ones, for it is sheathed in polished red granite from its pointed apex down to the mighty platform on which it stands. Ruddier also is the face of the sphinx, of mighty Harmachis, which guards the necropolis of Memphis, for the same queen who sheathed the pyramid of Menkaura in red granite has likewise caused the face…-

The Pyramid Chapter 6
THROUGH GHOSTLY CORRIDORS He knew that they had not entered the Pyramid of Menkaura by the passageway used by tourists to-day. In that monograph of his there is a rough sketch which indicates, so far as possible, the route which he and "the woman" had followed—a succession of ghostly corridors, concerning which there is to-day no other record. Nothing will ever be done about it, most likely. The indications—Carlton admits it frankly enough—leave much to be desired. Neither geometry nor…-

The Pyramid Chapter 3
THE STORY OF HAMID YUSEF One of the oddest characteristics of the human brain—so that rising young psychologist, George Carlton, had noticed more than once in the course of his life—is its facility as a long-distance jumper. A friend is about to tell you the dénouement of an alluring bit of scandal, or something like that. You are on the tiptoe of interest. You can’t wait for the next word. Then some trivial interruption occurs, and the whole thing is left in abeyance for months, possibly for…-

The Pyramid Chapter 2
AUNT RHODOPIS When Carlton had referred to himself as a “fledgling scientist,” he had done scant justice to himself. As a matter of fact, if he had been forced to earn his living he could have been doing so since a long time either in private practice or in connection with any of the large hospitals which make a specialty of nervous and mental diseases. He had always had a passion for such things, and if his money had prevented him from pursuing his profession with any degree of regularity, it…-

The Pyramid Chapter 1
CARLTON SEES HER AGAIN There is no question as to whether he saw her or merely thought that he saw her. Such questions, constantly rising in everyone’s experience, can never be settled, anyway. There is that well-known brain-expert in Berlin, for example, who even goes so far as to say that half the things we think we see in the course of a day’s ramble are nothing but so many illusions. Again, there is that army of professors who claim that everything we see is an illusion. Let us hasten to…-

Bear with a human face
My companions and I went camping in the wild and were attacked by a black bear. The skeletons of everyone we knew had been completely devoured. Only my boyfriend, Liang Yu, and I managed to escape. But the longer I spend with him, the more I feel sure that the person next to me isn’t Liang Yu, it’s that black bear. - Previous 1 2
