Although Sheng Dian is a young model who just entered the industry, she really doesn’t want use such cheap way like gossip and scandals that is so common in the entertainment industry to become popular. It’s a pity she couldn’t live up to expectations and bumped into the big star Sui Chen and fashion magazine editor-in-chief Du Yan Yan performing a romance drama in the hotel room, refused the money in exchange of her silence, and also carried away when talking to Sui Chen, and ended up being banned as a result.

In Sheng Dian’s eyes, Sui Chen’s is cold and difficult to talk with, self-righteous and narcissistic, someone who gets easily offended and loves to take revenge on others. His methods of revenge are incredibly mean, and his motives of revenge are absolutely ridiculous. What exactly is so attractive about this kind of man… He’s just a common male creature who thinks with his lower body! “Excuse-me, but no mistake here, when facing you, my lower body won’t even function” said Sui Chen to Sheng Dian when he heard her complaining in his back.

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.
