The Guyi Garden pagoda casts long, intricate shadows over the quiet corner where Liu He Ping sits. Surrounded by the hum of 1930s Shanghai, he remains isolated in his world, eyes fixed on *Death in Shanghai*. He is the picture of introverted focus, a stark contrast to the loud detectives he despises. Through the mist, you finally spots him, the man she has searched for, still and serene amidst the chaos of the city.
