    "He deliberately disguised himself as ugly for three years, until the woman in the white dress grabbed his sleeve in the street." My name is Qin Yu, and I used to be a policeman. Now? Ha, I'm a homeless man I can hardly recognize myself—at least that's how I appear. Greasy, tangled hair, stubble from three days ago, and this jacket I'm wearing hasn't been washed for at least two months, emitting a complex odor of instant noodles, cigarettes, alcohol, and sweat. I've even pulled a moldy sandwich out of my pocket before; the stench was unbearable. But all of this is a carefully crafted disguise. After that incident three years ago, I had no choice but to do this. Did those big shots think kicking me out of the police force would solve everything? How naive. I lurked in the shadows like a wounded stray dog, waiting for the day they lowered their guard. "Hey, buddy...!" A clear female voice suddenly came from behind, followed by a gentle tug on my left sleeve. I reflexively tensed all my muscles, my right hand already reaching for my waist—if I still had my gun. In the instant I turned around, I quickly scanned the woman: about 1.65 Meters tall, around 25 or 26 years old, wearing a faded beige dress with a men's jacket that was clearly a size too big over it, her long black hair casually tied back with a rubber band. She was pale, with noticeable dark circles under her eyes, but her eyes… were so clear. In this age of ubiquitous surveillance and facial recognition, it's almost impossible to have eyes completely untouched by electronic devices. Unless, like me, she deliberately lived in the system's blind spot. "Could I borrow a light?" She asked, waving an unlit cigarette in her hand, her voice low. I squinted. It was 3:27 PM, the sun was shining brightly, and there were four high-definition cameras at this intersection. Why had she chosen this spot to stop a "homeless person" for a light? "No," I replied gruffly, deliberately making my voice sound like I was still hungover. "Ask someone else." I turned to leave, but her next words made my blood freeze instantly. "Officer Qin, why did the fourth victim in the serial suicide case in the new district three years ago have your badge number in their pocket?" My heart pounded in my chest, but my face remained impassive. Three years of living on the streets had perfectly honed my stoicism. "You've mistaken me for someone else." I quickened my pace without turning around. "Lin Xiaoyu, 22 years old, 164cm tall, blood type O." Her voice followed me. "When my brother went missing last week at the Fourth Hospital, the surveillance footage showed someone wearing the same jacket as you." I abruptly stopped. The Fourth Hospital. One of the key locations in that case three years ago. "Who are you?" I slowly turned around, this time carefully examining the woman who called herself Lin Xiaoyu. Her posture was peculiar, her weight slightly shifted to the right, and her right hand was always in her coat pocket—where she was likely hiding something. "A sister who wants to find her younger brother." She gave a pale smile. "I heard you're the only private investigator in the city who dares to take 'those kinds of cases'." I scoffed. "Miss, do I look like someone who can afford office rent?" "No." She admitted honestly. "But Old Li in the archives said that if anyone can solve that case from three years ago, it can only be you." Old Li. I silently repeated the name in my mind. Li Weiguo from the police station archives, my former drinking buddy, and one of the few old colleagues I kept in touch with after I was fired. "How's Old Li?" I asked tentatively. "He had a stroke last week." Lin Xiaoyu's eyes flickered. "He's in a rehabilitation center now." Too coincidental. Everything was too coincidental. I stared at her for a full ten seconds, then suddenly reached out and grabbed her right wrist, pulling it out— "Ah!" She exclaimed, her right hand pulled out of her pocket, and between her fingers was not the expected weapon, but a photograph. The photo showed a young man in his early twenties, wearing a hospital gown, in a hospital corridor. But what caught my attention was the patient information card on his chest: Lin Xiaoyang, 23 years old, psychiatry department of the Fourth Hospital, admitted on March 15, 2023. The day the case occurred three years ago. "What's so special about your brother?" I released her hand, my voice unconsciously becoming serious. Lin Xiaoyu rubbed her wrist, then suddenly leaned close to my ear: "He can see 'those things'... Just like you." My pupils contracted sharply. I had never told anyone this secret. "A deposit of 20,000, and another 50,000 when we find the person." She took a step back and pulled a bulging envelope from the inside pocket of her dress. "Cash, not consecutive numbers." I stared at the envelope and suddenly laughed: "Do you know what I need most right now?" "A hot bath, a decent meal, and..." She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Old Liu's braised beef from the south of the city?" The smile on my face vanished. Old Liu's braised beef was my favorite when I was in the police force, but the shop didn't even have a sign, and very few people knew about it. "Meet me at the abandoned building tomorrow at noon." I grabbed the envelope and stuffed it inside my jacket. "Don't leave any loose ends." As I turned to leave, I could feel her gaze fixed on my back. This woman was definitely not simple, but she was right about one thing—I really needed this money. More importantly, I needed to know why her brother had ended up in the Fourth Hospital on the darkest day of my life. And that so-called ability to "see things"... I touched the almost invisible scar below my right eye. For three years, this "gift" had only brought me nightmares. But tonight, perhaps I could use it for something.
