The Locker Detective Retires
Grammar in this story
Xiao Zhao posts a notice beside the delivery lockers: this detective officially retires today.
She says she wants to use the quiet weekend to finish the books at home.
But just as the notice is posted, a photo falls out of a locker door.
On the back of the photo it says: while the clue is still fresh, please find the elderly person in the photo.
Xiao Zhao originally wants to leave, but a neighbor hands her the photo before she can close the door.
She has to ask while everyone is present who recognizes the red scarf in the photo.
An elderly woman slowly raises her hand and says it is a photo she lost when moving twenty years ago.
While the woman is still emotional, Xiao Zhao helps put the photo into a new frame.
In the end, she does not cancel retirement; she just places a clue board beside the lockers.
She says, “Before I regret it, from now on you all solve the first half yourselves.”
