Bureau on the Bluestone Board

The bluestone lanes in the old city are full of ordinary fireworks, but they hide the silent chess game of human hearts. Chen Degui wears a plain gown and V-shaped old Beijing cloth shoes, and spends his days at the tea table making tea. He was once a troubleshooter who traveled around the market, able to see through the warmth and coldness of people's emotions and the dark side of people's hearts. He completely retired because of an old incident, only seeking stability for the rest of his life. An unexpected missing person commission shattered his peace. What the client is looking for is a seemingly impeccable executive - he never turns on the lights at night, has no mirrors in his home, has not kept a single photo for half his life, and has a secret locked in his heart that he has not dared to touch for ten years. He wanted to reject it coldly, but the clues linked to his retired past, and Chen Degui had to enter the game again. He does not engage in hard-core criminal investigation or professional diagnosis and treatment. He only uses tea as a matchmaker and dismantles psychological shackles by observing words and emotions. The chats of the police in the area, the sporadic records of the old clinic, and the tiny footsteps on the bluestone are all the keys to solving the problem. What he solves is never a bizarre unsolved case, but an obsession that has trapped people for many years; what he is looking for is never a secret evidence of crime, but a two-way redemption of himself and others. The tea smoke is curling up, the bluestone road is long, and the situation hidden in the market is finally returning to its place in the kindness of people's hearts.
