short murder mystery stories

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped.

This story reminds of Beluga. (You can watch it on youtube). There is a mystery in this story and the MC Max has to solve a murder case. I am not sure if it should be in the Martial Arts section. I like mystery stories. Hope the author updates at a faster pace though.

Though, the story went on an interesting turn with that prologue. I was expecting a slow burn, but it intrigued me is that it is set in this mystery thriller. Could use a bit more exposition for my taste, but overall it seems to be a good flavour of drama and mystery. Both things very integral in murder mystery settings. Not my cup of tea but hey at least I can read something that isn't Noir. But I digress, and it's a good read if you're looking for a classic murder mystery.

Before she took off her mask, her male god would spar with her every day, and she would be tortured to death under his clothes every day. Of course, she was ranked fourth on the leaderboard.

Should he live in the cruel reality, or should he not wake up from the beautiful dream he had woven? In this online game world, there were a total of five worlds: the human world, the demon world, the demon world, the immortal world, and the undeveloped world. The fifth realm was an open game that players had to find themselves. There was actually a man-made bug at the entrance to the Fifth Realm. The person trapped in this bug would never wake up in reality. A mysterious white deer and a clear spring water. As long as he looked into the white deer's eyes, it was as if he would fall into it. …… She held two whips in her hands and claimed that she would never play the role of a tank in the party (pulling the enemy's aggro onto herself and blocking damage for her teammates). For him, she made an exception. …… He looked into her eyes. Little Yuan, you want to be the hero of this world, but I only want to protect you." Why was this man so damn flirtatious?
