Summary

In 1994, a serious criminal case in Songjiang City—a woman was sexually assaulted and killed. After review by public security officers Zhao Hui and Zhou Junchen of the time, Teng Jibin was identified as the suspect. Through forged evidence and fabricated facts, he was smoothly sentenced to death and executed immediately. Twenty-four years later, in 2018, the real killer was found, the corrupt police were brought to justice, and the Teng family's wrongful conviction was cleared.

Editor's review

Set against a 1994 case in Songjiang City in which a sexual assault led to a death, The Wronged tells a dual-timeline story: a wrongful conviction and execution, and the emergence of the true culprit twenty-four years later. The novel's central tension lies not in the process of solving the case itself, but in how "fabricated evidence and invented facts" can smoothly push an ordinary person toward the death penalty, and in what chance and perseverance are needed for a wrongful conviction to be redressed. The author focuses the narrative on the mechanisms by which wrongful convictions are formed and the cost of correcting them. The bad police officer being brought to justice and the Teng family's vindication form an emotional closure, yet readers can feel the irreversible damage twenty-four years have inflicted on a family. The language is in a popular documentary style, and the plot moves directly, suiting readers interested in criminal wrongful convictions and judicial correction. Note that this is a fictionalized narrative; depictions of investigation and trial serve the plot and should not be used as material for legal practice or case study. As you read, pay attention to how the chain of evidence is rebuilt after the true culprit appears, and to the tug-of-war between institutional and human factors in the correction process.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Readers of fiction interested in criminal wrongful convictions and judicial correction
Mystery fans who enjoy dual-timeline narratives and the reopening of old cases
Readers interested in how investigative power operates at the grassroots and in evidence issues
General readers who want to understand the family cost behind the redressing of a wrongful conviction

Not a good fit for

Readers expecting rigorous analysis of judicial procedure or a monograph on wrongful-conviction research
Those sensitive to heavy content such as sexual assault resulting in death and executions
Readers who prefer light reading or a comic tone

Reading tips

Map the character relationships along the two timelines of 1994 and 2018 separately, then read the correction passages in light of both.
When you reach the fabricated-evidence sections, note the key types of evidence to better grasp the contrast once the true culprit appears later.
After finishing, make brief notes on "what does the correction of a wrongful conviction depend on," distinguishing institutional factors from chance ones.
If the heavy content affects you emotionally, read in installments rather than finishing the chapters about the execution in one sitting.

FAQ

Is the story based on a real case?

The available information indicates the story takes place in Songjiang City in 1994; the characters and plot are fictional arrangements, and no specific real case is identified as the basis. Readers may treat it as genre fiction on the theme of wrongful convictions and should not directly map the investigative details in the book onto any real case.

Why is the true culprit only found twenty-four years later?

The book sets the discovery of the true culprit in 2018, and this span of time forms the narrative's core. The work presents the formation and correction of the wrongful conviction through the contrast of two timelines; the specific occasion on which the true culprit surfaces is a plot arrangement, and readers may focus on how the author uses it to reflect on evidence and investigative responsibility.

Is this book suitable for law students?

It can serve as supplementary reading for understanding wrongful-conviction narratives and public perception, but it is not a substitute for professional textbooks on criminal procedure or rules of evidence. The depictions of fabricated evidence and execution serve story tension, and professional readers should distinguish fictional treatment from actual practice.

About the author

孔老二 Author

Kong Laoer is a Chinese-language book author about whom little public information is available; his real name, nationality and dates of birth and death have not been clearly recorded. Three of his works are held in the collection, namely Offshore Black Gold, Injustice, and Bullying My Daughter: Two Godfathers Topple the Criminal Underworld. Judging from these titles, his writing focuses mainly on mystery and social fiction, often dealing with crime investigation, real-life injustice and organized crime, with plots marked by strong conflict and social concern. Based on the available bibliographic information alone, it is difficult to assess the full scope of his work or his personal background, yet his combination of suspenseful storytelling with social reality gives his books a certain distinctiveness among genre-fiction readers.
