The Mystery of Qingyan

Restore the half-page fragment and revisit the scene of a century-old murder. Shen Yan took over a batch of sealed old case files from the Republic of China. The moment his fingertips touched the torn pages, his whole body was dragged into the yellowing time. There are three iron rules for entering the scroll. Those who violate it will be trapped in the scroll forever: 1. Don't let strangers see your shadow; 2. The time of death of the deceased cannot be changed; 3. Do not touch the sacrificial objects in the case. Massacre of family, haunted house of ghost marriage, corpse floating in the canal... Each volume of the remaining cases is wrapped in the weird cloak of Chinese folk customs, and is filled with seemingly unsolvable strange stories and mysteries. Shen Yan entered the case with a repair knife and dug out clues of the real murderer from the misplaced tablet, half embroidered handkerchief, and crooked door latch. He thought he was just looking back on old cases, but he found that the murders that happened one after another in reality were exactly the same as those recorded in the ancient scrolls. The killing techniques of a hundred years ago are being reproduced accurately today. When the last scroll is restored, all the clues come together—— In this life-and-death contract that spanned hundreds of years, his name was written in the first stroke.
