Plot summary
One morning in the park by the Bund, Chief Inspector Chen finds a dead body with precisely 18 axe wounds. He decides to take up the case - however, he is also ordered to escort a U.S. Marshal (Catherine Rohn) and assist her with her investigation. In this case, it means going to look for the wife of a witness in a human-smuggling investigation who will not talk unless his wife is with him. Things are complicated by the fact that the woman has gone missing.

gollark: You know, this could work with some sort of smarter text generator, and perhaps a more predictable server.
gollark: Perhaps, but the thing is that a rough "average" of all messages looks nothing like an actual message.
gollark: Unless the bot forces random users to do it on pain of a ban... hmm.
gollark: Well, the trouble is that for most messages it's unlikely that someone will schedule them.
