Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

In the human world. k city.

There is an owl standing on a branch in the mountain, with a full moon behind it, as beautiful as a painting.

The owl stared at the three-story mansion not far away.

The light in the security booth was on, and the security guard was watching an old movie from the 70s, a Bruce Lee martial arts movie.

The lights were on in the office on the third floor of the Old Case Archives.

This is the only office in the archives, covering an area of ​​200 square meters. It is decorated with a sense of age but style.

Nordic style, old desk, purple quiet pattern wallpaper, old-fashioned wall clock on the wall with a pendulum swinging gently.

There is an electric stove and a decorative painting of an elk looking up at the stars hangs on the wall.

A record player and a lot of vinyl records in the cabinet. There is an automatic coffee machine on a cabinet, with fine coffee and English black tea bags.

pc1486 originally wanted to drink it, but when he looked at the date, he saw that the shelf life was in 2002, which was 20 years out of date.

The most special thing is that there is an extremely comfortable single chaise sofa in this office.

Yuan Fugui lay on it, her whole body sinking in, looking at the files, thinking, this is her future office, she just fell in love with it.

Whoever the original owner of this office was, had really good taste.

pc1486 came over and said, "Inspector Yuan, are you hungry? Do you want me to order takeout?"

"Okay, order some."

pc1486 went downstairs and went to the security booth to find the security guard.

The security guard is a man, 27 or [-] years old, with flat bangs in the front and half-long hair at the back. He is wearing a yellow fighting uniform.

The wall of the security booth is covered with photos of Bruce Lee, and there is also a shiny nunchaku.

The security guard’s name is Chen Jinshui.

In 1970, the Archives of Old Cases was established, and his grandfather worked as a security guard here.

In 1999, when my grandfather got older, his father worked as a security guard here.

Three years ago, my father retired and it was his turn to work here as a security guard.

pc1486 asked Chen Jinshui, "Can you tell me the detailed address here? I want to order takeout."

"What kind of takeout should you order? It's unhealthy to eat too much." Chen Jinshui said, "I'll do whatever you want to eat."

"Can you cook?"

"Of course, good men can cook." He asked, "Are there any taboos? You can eat meat."

"Yes!" pc1486 nodded.

Chen Jinshui left the security booth first and walked into the mountains. He got a few frogs in the fields, bought two ducks from a farmer, and cut some cabbage hearts.

After coming back, go to the kitchen on the first floor and turn on the fire.

Boil rice with mountain spring water on three casseroles and cut a few slices of old sausage.

Then we made the pickled pepper frog, there were two ducks, one was made using the traditional Beijing roast duck method, and there happened to be a stove in the kitchen.

Another duck makes soup with Anomatis medicinal herbs to maintain health.

He really knows how to cook.

About an hour later, Yuan Fugui and pc1486 came downstairs smelling the fragrance.

Sitting in the restaurant, the restaurant is decorated more like a private room in a restaurant.

They looked at the dishes on the table - Hong Kong style roasted pork rice, Peking duck, healthy duck soup, and pickled pepper frog.

Chen Jinshui said, "Time is tight, so I only made these few dishes. I don't know if they will suit the taste of these two beauties."

Yuan Fugui and pc1486 sat down to eat.

Chen Jinshui put the last platter of braised duck liver and roasted duck heart on the table, which was exquisitely arranged. He made a heart sign with his hand and said, "This department has finally been established again. I will be the host of this meal. Come on." , comparing our hearts to each other, let’s eat duck hearts together.”

Even though Chen Jinshui is only 27 or [-] years old, his speech is still a bit oily, but the oiliness is more natural.

Yuan Fugui caught a duck leg to eat and asked, "How long has this department been established?"

Chen Jinshui said:

His grandfather has been working as a security guard here since 1970.

At that time, Grandpa was the only one in the entire archives who was responsible for guarding the door. Usually, colleagues from various police stations come in and out here.

Bring a bunch of files from old cases and store them here. Sometimes there is a breakthrough in the case, and some people will come here to take away the evidence for forensic research.

This department has always been like a transit station. Police officers come and go, only stopping for a short time, treating it as a storage room.

It was not until 1999, with the application of DNA technology, that the Archives of Old Cases was officially launched.

At that time, there was a very powerful person who came here as the person in charge.

She is a woman with a high degree of education. She has a doctorate. She is very good at studying criminal psychology and is a professional consultant to the police force.

She specialized in studying old cases in this archive room. At that time, there were only three people here: one was her, the other was the cleaner, and the third was my father, the doorman.

Don't look at just these three people, from 1999 to 2000.

In just one year, the female doctor, along with a cleaner and my father, the janitor, solved 26 murder cases that had been hidden for decades.

Have you heard of the 1948 Lipstick Murders? Have you heard of the 1968 Rainy Night case? and The Butterfly Murders of 1975.

These cases that have been pending for decades were all solved by the female doctor by relying on mind-reading reasoning.

It was really popular at that time. It turned out that this old case investigation team was about to recruit people, and just when it was about to expand——

In 2000, an accident happened. The female doctor died in an explosion set by a murderer.

"Hey." Chen Jinshui sighed, "It's true that beauties are so lucky."

Since the death of the female doctor, this department has stopped again.

Later, the cleaner also left, and Chen Jinshui's father was left to continue guarding the old case archives.

This place has returned to its original state again - every few days, police from other departments store some unsolvable cases here.

A few years ago, my father got old, but he refused to give up the old case archives no matter what.

The Chen family is destined to protect the Archives of Old Cases, and is the guardian here.

So his father insisted on calling Chen Jinshui, who was a cook at the cooking school, here and told him, "Keep an eye on the old case archives. One day, this place will definitely be reopened."

.

At this moment, Chen Jinshui finished speaking and looked at the two beauties in front of the dining table, Yuan Fugui and pc1486.

He said excitedly, "I feel like it! The old case team is back."

The tone of his speech was a bit imitated by Zhou Xingxing, which was very genuine and exciting.

But pc1486 felt very embarrassed and thought, how can such a young person be so eccentric?

After Yuan Fugui finished eating the duck leg, he wiped his mouth and asked, "Is the female doctor you mentioned who used to handle cases here named Yao Ruolan?"

"Yes. That's the name!"

Chen Jinshui took out a photo from his pocket, which was a group photo of the three of them.

In the photo, it was 1999. His father, the cleaner, and the beautiful Yao Ruolan turned out to be a woman.

But at this moment, Yuan Fugui understood that the office where she had just been lying comfortably was Yao Ruolan's office.

After 22 years. She unexpectedly became the second person in charge of the Old Case Archives due to a meeting with a fat man, an accidental sight of a case, and an agreement from her boss.

Somehow, everything is destined.
