In the 17th year of the Republic of China, I received a letter of authorization from Guiqi Village in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang.
But on the back of the letter, it was written in blood: "The first person to beheaded must be the one who sings "A Dream in the Garden" tonight."
When I arrived, I discovered that the famous actress wearing a Du Liniang costume at the dinner was actually beheaded in the locked west wing.
In the next seven days, corpses appeared one after another in this manor that combined Chinese and Western styles:
The young master drowned at the bottom of the lotus pond, and the family tree stolen from his study was floating on the surface of the pond.
The master died in the cellar with the key in his chest. Outside the door were three cast-iron bolts that were locked from the inside.
When the "ghost" of the fourth concubine returned to the mourning hall in full view of the public, the female detective Mei Ruohua, who had returned from studying abroad, suddenly opened the door:
"The play has come to an end - that threatening letter was originally a letter of challenge written by the deceased to me."
