Story Transcript:
Zh: 傍晚时分，繁华的上海外滩灯火辉煌。
En: As evening fell, Shanghai’s bustling The Bund was brilliantly illuminated.
Zh: 各式彩灯照亮了大街小巷，空气中弥漫着月饼的香气。
En: Various colored lights brightened the streets and alleys, and the fragrance of mooncakes filled the air.
Zh: 这是中秋节的夜晚，月光静静洒在黄浦江面上，水波粼粼。
En: It was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moonlight quietly spread over the surface of the Huangpu River, creating shimmering waves.
Zh: 玉明和丽芬两人漫步在岸边，他们是形影不离的朋友。
En: Yuming and Lifen were walking along the riverside; they were inseparable friends.
Zh: 玉明热衷于解谜，总梦想成为侦探，而丽芬总是站在他身边，提醒他小心行事。
En: Yuming had a passion for solving mysteries and always dreamed of becoming a detective, while Lifen always stood by his side, reminding him to be cautious.
Zh: 就在两人走到一座长椅旁时，一封神秘的信吸引了他们的注意。
En: As they walked past a bench, they noticed a mysterious letter that caught their attention.
Zh: 信封上没有收件人或发件人的信息。
En: The envelope had no information about the recipient or the sender.
Zh: 玉明好奇地捡起信封，丽芬则皱着眉头说：“也许我们不该打开这种来历不明的东西。
En: Yuming curiously picked up the envelope, while Lifen frowned and said, "Maybe we shouldn't open something with an unknown origin."
Zh: ”玉明的好奇心战胜了一切担忧，他轻轻地拆开信封。
En: Yuming's curiosity overcame any concerns, and he gently opened the envelope.
Zh: 里面是一张纸条，上面只写了一行字：“在摩天楼下寻找隐藏的线索。
En: Inside was a note with only one line: "Look for hidden clues under the skyscraper."
Zh: ”“这真是太有趣了！
En: "This is really interesting!"
Zh: ”玉明眼睛一亮，他期待着这次冒险。
En: Yuming's eyes lit up; he was eager for this adventure.
Zh: 然而，丽芬握住他的手臂，“我们应该小心，可能有危险。
En: However, Lifen grabbed his arm, "We should be careful, there might be danger."
Zh: ”但玉明已经下定决心，他摆出坚定的表情。
En: But Yuming had already made up his mind, showing a determined expression.
Zh: “我们没事的。
En: "We'll be fine.
Zh: 有你在我身边，我知道我们能解决这个谜题。
En: With you by my side, I know we can solve this mystery."
Zh: ”两人顺着线索来到了陆家嘴，那里摩天高楼林立。
En: Following the clues, they arrived at Lujiazui, where skyscrapers towered.
Zh: 他们在长凳下找到了第二条线索，随后依照提示去了城隍庙、豫园等地，每个地点都隐藏着新的谜题。
En: They found the second clue under a bench, and following the hints, they went to places like City God Temple and Yu Garden, where each location held a new puzzle.
Zh: 终于，他们来到栖霞山下。
En: Finally, they reached the foot of Qixia Mountain.
Zh: 山上一片寂静，皎洁的月光洒在他们身上。
En: The mountain was quiet, and the bright moonlight shone on them.
Zh: 这里是一处小花园，每一棵树下都有可能找到答案。
En: It was a small garden, with potential answers under each tree.
Zh: 玉明深吸一口气，看着手中的最后一条线索。
En: Yuming took a deep breath and looked at the final clue in his hand.
Zh: “只要解开这最后一个谜题，我们就能知道这一切的真相。
En: "As long as we solve this last puzzle, we can uncover the truth behind all of this."
Zh: ”在丽芬的提醒下，玉明冷静下来，仔细观察四周。
En: With Lifen's reminder, Yuming calmed down and carefully observed the surroundings.
Zh: 最后，在石板路的一角，他发现了一些字母隐藏在月光无法直接照射的角落里。
En: Finally, in a corner of the stone path where moonlight couldn’t directly reach, he found some letters hidden.
Zh: 拼凑出完整答案后，他们感受到一种欣慰。
En: After piecing together the complete answer, they felt a sense of relief.
Zh: 原来这些谜题是一个慈善组织设计的测试，用来寻找那些有解谜天赋的年轻人。
En: It turned out that these puzzles were designed by a charity organization as a test to find young people with a talent for solving mysteries.
