| Mr. Xiangdou | Chinese | Zhangzhou | Bird-of-paradise |
When Lian Dou, a merchant in Zhangzhou sits alone in his study at midnight, a sudden gust of wind puts off the candle on the desk. After the candle is lighted again, a colorful item is found, which seems like something obtained from birds upon closer observation. Considering it as a joke from home servants, Lian pays no attention. The next day, words have that the neighboring house is robbed, and a precious exotic item is lost, which is
actually found on the wall of Lian's living room. With reasons unknown, both the neighbor and Lian are shocked. The neighbor is enraged, rushing the family to the Government Office and filing the accusation, "My name is Ming Xiang, here for an theft incidence. I spent a great amount on a precious exotic item from Surabaya, named Phoenix Feather.
Produced from the inland of northern Australia, it is extremely valuable, but stolen by Lian Dou the evil. This crime is totally beyond human sense, thus the report."
