Spring was beautiful, a perfect time to travel.

But that morning, before I could leave, Jack called me.

He was the head of a special police team.

He said a man named Luo Zixin wanted to meet me.

If it had been anyone else, I might have said no or gone on my trip first.

He had only a few hours left to live until 4 o' clock that afternoon.

Luo Xixin was a prisoner waiting to be executed.

He was sentenced to death for killing his younger brother, Luo Zhiqian.

Luo Zixin tried to fight the decision, but the court said the original sentence was correct.

The case had many secrets which made it interesting.

Even I, who was not part of the case, read about it because I was curious.

But I only read newspapers and I had never met Luo Zixin.

I was confused because Luo Zixin seemed to have no reason to kill his brother.

He had a lot of money from his family and he also managed a lot of money for his brother.

His younger brother, Luo Zhiqian went to study in America when he was young.

During World War II, Luo Zhiqian was a soldier in the US Army.

He disappeared in the war and the army believed he had died.

If Luo Zixin had wanted his brother's money, he could have taken it easily and legally.

Almost 30 years after the war, he still believed his brother was alive.

He sent many people to search for his brother on islands in the South Pacific.

The battles in the Pacific during World War II were very bloody and many soldiers were lost.

Finding someone who disappeared in that war nearly 20 years ago was almost impossible.

But he said he and his brother were very close since they were children.

He said he would keep looking as long as there was any hope.

Because Luo Zixin was so dedicated, the US Military even helped him.

They let him see old war records to help him search better.

When he brought his brother home, it was big news and everyone was very interested.

Three Days after they returned, Luo Zixin killed his brother.

At least seven people saw him do it and 20 more heard Luo Zhiqian's loud scream as he fell.

Experts thought the sea had carried it away to a place no one could find.

After pushing his brother, Luo Zixin stood still looking confused until the police put handcuffs on him.

During his arrest and trial, Luo Zixin hardly spoke to defend himself, he said almost nothing.

His wife hired the best lawyers but they couldn't help him.

Seven witnesses saw him push his brother also Three famous doctors who study the brain and mind said in court that Luo Zixin was completely sane.

The biggest mystery of the case was why did Luo Zixin do it?

Luo Zixin was a very smart and educated man.

For a person like him to kill especially his own brother Wang was a big deal.

He spent so much money, time and effort to find his brother in a far off jungle island.

Then he brought him back only to push him off a cliff.

If that was his plan, he would have to be crazy.

I found and read every piece of information about it.

Luo Zixin said very little after he was arrested.

So his wife, Madame Bai Zhuqiang was the main person who talked about the case.

She strongly said her husband was innocent.

She talked about how hard he worked for years to find his brother.

She also spoke about how happy he was when they met again.

In her many talks she remembered every small detail.

Everything she said showed that Luo Zixin had no reason to kill his brother.

Maybe the person Luo Zixin brought back from the island was not his brother, but someone else.

When he found this out, the shock made him kill the wrong person.

All the proof, like fingerprints and how the man looked showed that the man Luo Zixin brought back was truly Lt.

Luo Zhiqian, the missing U.S. army officer.

So why Luo Zixin killed his brother was still a big secret.

I thought this mystery would never be solved.

But then the police told me that Luo Zixin wanted to see me.

Hours before he was to die, he suddenly asked for me.

I am not a famous person, just an ordinary one.

But I have solved many strange and difficult cases.

If Luo Zixin wanted to see me just before his execution, he must have a very hard problem to solve.

In Jack's office, I met a high ranking police officer.

He spread his arms wide and said, welcome, welcome, savior of those in trouble.

I gave a small smile and said, luo Zixin must be a little crazy if he thinks I'm like a priest.
