Legend has it, more than a thousand years ago, in the Gin dynasty of China, there was a person named Yue Guang. He has many friends, and he especially likes to invite friends to come over to have a drink and chat. Once at the banquet, a friend of Yue Guang saw a little snake wriggling in the glass while toasting. Although his friend was frightened, because of his pride, he had no choice but to force himself to drink up the wine. After he got home, he constantly felt like there’s a snake winding around in his stomach. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He even ended up falling ill because of this!
隔了几日乐广听闻这位友人病倒的消息特别登门探望他在问到病因的时候友人便将当日饮酒时的情况一五一十地告知了乐广乐广一听也懵了回家的路上心想我家里哪来的小蛇呢要是真有蛇的话也非得找出来要不自己住得也提心吊胆的于是一回到家便展开了捕蛇行动

A few days later, after Yue Guang heard the news that his friend fell ill, he paid a special visit to his place. When asked about the cause, his friend told him exactly what happened on the day when they were drinking. Yue Guang is so confused when hearing this, and started to think while returning back home. "Where did the little snake come from? If there really is a snake, I have to find it, or else I will be in fear of living there. " So as soon as he got home, he started the snake catching operation.
乐广在家中思来想去东翻西找最后在客厅一抬头便看见墙上挂了一只弓弯弯曲曲地像条蛇似的脑中突然灵光一闪心想该不会和这只弓有关吧于是乐广发挥了科学办案的精神决定来个案情重组

Yue Guang racked his brain and searched everywhere at his place. Finally, he looked up in the living room and saw a bow hanging on the wall. The bow looks twisted like a snake. A light bulb went on in his brain, "Could the bow has something to do with this?" He thought. Then he decided to reorganise the case with the spirit of tackling this case using science.
