This is an old story in Beijing, which is believed to happen in the 19th century.
A few decades ago, a tailor managed a shop around the south gate of ancient Beijing City. This tailor was so skilful and friendly, so his shop was famous in Beijing.
One day, in the middle night, the tailor just went to bed but someone was calling him at this time. The tailor asked the visitor what he wanted while the visitor said he just wanted to buy some needles and strings. This tailor was afraid that the visitor was probably a robber, so this tailor just opened a small window and handed the needles and strings out. At this point, the tailor attempted to see the customer's face but merely found there was a bracelet in the wrist of the customer. Afterwards, the customer paid and left, and the tailor also returned to his bed soon.
Next day, some customers visited the tailor's shop and discussed a story. In their words, a culprit who had been beheaded disappeared last night for a while. Surprisingly, when the body of the culprit was found, his head and main body were seamed together already. Also, the body was holding some needles and strings. Some people distinguished that these needles and strings were sold by this tailor, so they came here to inquire the tailor whether anything strange happened last night. This tailor dubitated and then came to see the body of the culprit. At the first glance, the tailor saw his needles and strings and then he saw there was a same bracelet he saw last night in the body's wrist.
The tailor was out of his mind and then narrated what happened to his neighbourhood, a doctor who owned a pharmacy. After hearing the scary story last night, this doctor was not surprised but responded calmly "my friend, it is not a big deal. Every month, a few poor guys would visit my pharmacy to buy some vulnerary in the midnight, as well as the man you meet yesterday."
