INSPECTOR ZHANG GETS HIS WISH (an aptly named short story) by Stephen Leather runs about 18 pages...and the rest of the pages are taken up with front-matter and a preview of another work by the author.  In reading this free short, my first exposure to Stephen Leather's work, I was reminded of Sherlock Holmes.  It had the same feel...with lots of discussion, the Inspector teaching his underlings (a little annoying), and a bit too shallow in the point of view department.  By the end, it's all wrapped up in a tidy package with a bow-ribbon, where like Matlock, the case was solved.
