Qingwujian: Records of Dark Cases in the Republic of China

When Shen Yanzhi closed his umbrella, the water droplets on the ribs happened to drip on the bluestone doorstep of "Shende Hall", spreading a small patch of dark color. This old house is located deep in Fuyou Road, in the boundary of the old city. It seems like a different era from the bustling shopping street a few steps away. The brick carvings on the lintel are mottled, the word "Hongxi" has been eroded by wind and rain until only its outline is left, and the animal on the eaves is missing a corner, showing an indescribable decadence in the dusk. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
