[The killer bride]

[Episode 5]

Case reenactment.

According to Qiao Niang,

that night, she was asked to serve tea in the study.

Serve tea.

You!

We're in the middle of an act.

I'm so scared!

Don't come any closer!

You almost scared me to death.

Don't.

Don't come any closer!

Keep struggling.

Don't get distracted.

The hairpin.

Don't!

Don't! Don't!

Don't come closer!

Don't...

I...

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to do that.

You.

This is the first time I've had such an unprofessional partner.

Do you do this kind of thing with others a lot?

What? Are you jealous?

Of course not.

I was just asking.

Don't worry.

I only did this kind of thing

with Jiu Feng and the others.

I don't care at all.

Go on. It's not over yet.

Wait... Wait a moment.

In this position,

it's very hard to exert force.

How could she have killed him this way?

I see.

What's with this?

It seems this wound is actually two wounds,

one deep and one shallow.

The shallow wound

was caused by the hairpin,

while the wide and deep wound

was caused by Uncle gouging himself.

The real culprit must have used this wound

to frame Qiao Niang for the murder.

I consulted the ancient texts

and found that excessive inhalation of soul-controlling incense

can drive a person insane.

Uncle must have been in a state of madness

when he inflicted the fatal wound on himself.

So you're saying,

the real culprit used the wound left by Qiao Niang

and made it look like a fatal wound

to cover up the fact that Uncle had been poisoned by soul-controlling incense.

That's right.

It seems the murderer has been hiding in the General's Mansion all along.

As long as we find the person who has the soul-controlling incense,

that person must be the murderer.

[Wine]

The bandage is loose?

Let me help you rebandage it.

Done.

You've been busy all day.

You must be...

You must be quite tired, right?

Do you want to take a nap?

How can I sleep in a carriage?

There's nothing to lean on.

You can lean on me.

Thank you.

[General's Mansion]

Sir.

[General's Mansion]

Sir!

Sir!

Sir, something terrible happened.

Go ahead.

Qiao Niang committed suicide.

Smell this.

This is soul-controlling incense.

Sir.

This is Qiao Niang's confession letter.

There are no signs of homicide.

Qiao Niang hadn't left her room either.

She had been resting in her room the whole time.

"I was the one who used the soul-controlling incense to knock out He Yong

and killed him with a hairpin."

Just as we were about to investigate who has the soul-controlling incense,

Qiao Niang committed suicide with it.

Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?

Does this belong to Qiao Niang?

It is hers.

Honey.

It's getting late.

You've had a tiring journey today.

You should go back and rest early.

Jiu Feng.

Yes, Sir.

Escort her back.

Yes, Sir.

Qiao Niang was a pitiful person.

General lusted for her beauty,

which brought about calamity,

and had himself meet his doom by her hand.

But as a woman myself,

I can understand her to some extent.

May Buddha bless her.

I hope Qiao Niang finds peace in her afterlife soon.

Aunt.

Ever since Qiao Niang entered the household,

you've been taking good care of her.

Who would have thought she'd kill Uncle?

And now you're even praying for her.

I truly admire your compassion.

The ill-fated relationship between Qiao Niang and your uncle

was the result of your uncle's doings when he was alive.

Besides, Qiao Niang is already dead.

I just hope that the He family will not face any more misfortunes in the future.

Man'er.

Take these snacks to the altar.

So clumsy!

Aunt.

I've bothered you today.

If there's nothing else,

I'll take my leave now.

Hey. Changning.

What are you doing here?

Yueyao.

I went out to look for you just now,

but I ended up seeing a ghost.

Who's there?
