Nanping Weird Stories

Wu Fan, an ancient book restorer at the Nanping Municipal Museum, has a natural talent - he can see historical scenes four hundred years ago by touching ancient books. This ability he calls historical echo. One morning, a female body was found on the bank of Jiuqu River. The deceased's name was Qingluan. She fell from the covered bridge and drowned. Wu Fan was ordered to repair a book of Nanping Prefecture dug out from under the covered bridge. The moment he touched the page, he saw the scene in the 23rd year of Wanli - another scene where Qingluan was killed by three tomb guards. Two murders occurred four hundred years apart. The deceased had the same name and the same method of death. Interpol Lin Xue intervened in the investigation, only to discover that Wu Fan's grandfather Wu Shouye also fell from the same covered bridge 20 years ago and was deemed a suicide by the police. What's even weirder is that there is only one word difference between Wu Shouye's name and the mysterious organization Tomb Keepers, and the Wu family's restoration of ancient books for generations is exactly what the Tomb Keepers are best at doing - erasing the historical truth by tampering with ancient books. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
